    Birk’s was the barometer of the market during the dot com days. If you had to make a reservation, you knew all the VC‘s were there meeting with their potential partners. Birk’s was the go to place when I lived in Santa Clara nearly 16 years ago. I was back in the Bay Area this week for business and decided to check out Birk’s again. They haven’t missed a beat. It was as great as it ever was. The food was tremendous and the service was excellent. I am glad to see that things that are really important are still around after all these years. Thank you so much.

    This was our first time dining at Cucina Venti, and it won't be our last! The atmosphere was warm and friendly (except for the cool breeze blowing through). The service was excellent, and the two items we ordered were both quite delicious. We didn't dare try the outdoor seating (which appears to be even larger than the indoor seating), as it was rather cold out this time of year, but we would definitely try sitting outdoors during warmer weather.

    This was a special family reunion, and my intuition about this place was correct. The food and service were as advertised, if not even better. The gently connected indoor and outdoor areas provides excellent flexibility with seating, bringing pets and so on. Specifically, the variety in the Sunday Brunch menu was outstanding, the quality of the food was exceptional, and the service provided by the waitress was a 10 out of 10. Highly recommend this place for a party of 1 or a party of 10 !

    We were there on a night with street music on Murphy so more crowded than usual and maybe a bit understaffed. They created additional seating for us outside which was great. Food was ok and the menu was eclectic but sufficient to offer many choices with a large wine and beer selection. They looked to have a full bar inside but only served wine and beer which was fine for us. Service was a little slow but there were a couple of large parties that took up time. Overall we were happy with our experience.
