Restaurants near Clarion Inn Silicon Valley

You have to book in advance for a larger group of 6 or 8 people and the only time slot we got was 5p that is three weeks prior to the reservation on a Thursday night. It’s a beautiful welcoming space inside with a nice and lively bar. The food is for sharing and a La carte style: we did 3-4 appetizers and 3-4 main courses for 6 people and it was plenty as they give you a welcome appetizer of steak tartare in mini cones, a delicious tamarind lemony palette cleanser before your mains and a chocolate mousse canapé per person all on the house . For appetizers we ordered - The Everything carrots, grilled octopus, Ep trio pita, tagline prawns and for the mains - their half chicken which was delicious,, Daurade En Papillote- their whole fish- and lamb chops were all great and flavorful: we also ordered the sides of Brussels and cauliflower.. Overall a good dining experience except we felt a little rushed as they kept removing plates quickly to bring out the next dish. Ii think if they spaced out the food a bit and let you sit back and enjoy your meal with friends it would be a nicer experience. I will definitely come back if I’m in downtown San Jose.

The service was excellent, the server was very attentive and was always asking us if we needed anything. I had the baby back ribs and they were delicious. My friend had the ribeye steak and she loved it. I will definitely come back.

We had a great family lunch to kickoff the New Year. The restaurant was great and not noisy which is exactly what we were looking for.

Good food, excellent service, I wish they start the Christmas buffet like it was before Covid. My family has been waiting for that event to come back.

Awesome service and tasty food in a swanky environment. A good Christmas Eve indeed.
