Restaurants near Zayante Vineyards

We had a beautiful experience yesterday at Alpina/Terra! Our meal was fantastic: we started with a hot cheese fondue and housemade focaccia, followed by an authentic Italian dish called canederli, which I’m pretty sure you can’t find anywhere else. We also had an amazing polenta with American Wagyu wurstel. Since it was our Valentine's dinner, we ended our meal with the special dessert, which was absolutely delicious. Our server, Joseph, took great care of us. We’ll definitely be back!

The food is excellent. Everything was well prepared. Service was excellent. One thing to note, the side dishes are enormous. You should either order a half or be prepared to split it with one or two other people. Another thing, if you order a glass of wine instead of a bottle have them bring it immediately. It is quite cold and it takes a while for a red to warm up to the point where it can be fully appreciated. The rack of lamb has 7 ribs. Be prepared to split it or take some home. Doggie bags were quite common. Another neat trick, their prepared drinks come with dry ice on the glass. It keeps the liquid cool but it does not dilute the flavor as it melts. One last thing. Be prepared for an expensive experience. Two of us with drinks, 2 glasses of wine, 2 half appetizers, 3 half sides and 2 main courses ended up with a bill over $550 including tip. Worth it for special occasions but a lot for any kind of regular thing.

My wife and I had a terrific Valentine’s Day dinner and drinks. The prix-fixe menu options were excellent. The oysters, tuna tar-tar, strip steak were done perfectly. The bread pudding was possibly the best I’ve ever eaten. My wife’s halibut may have been a touch overdone—but just a touch and that’s only relative to everything else being absolutely perfect. The service was prompt, courteous and pro-active. The atmosphere and large table in a cozy nook was perfect, too. Highly recommend!

Incredible food and top-notch service! The staff was welcoming and attentive, making the experience even better. Paella Negra was a standout—flavorful and beautifully presented. The ambiance was cozy & elegant at the same time which is perfect for celebrations Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Incredible as always! Hero Ranch is a small, intimate restaurant that consistently delivers some of the best food in the South Bay. The execution is always flawless, with a menu that keeps my favorites while regularly introducing exciting new dishes. Their ribeye is perfectly cooked, the octopus is tender and flavorful, and the beet salad is a refreshing standout. The ahi appetizer is a must-try, and their cocktails are expertly crafted. Whether you’re coming for a special night out or just craving exceptional food, Hero Ranch never disappoints!
