    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 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!

    We had a wonderful experience at Flowers Saratoga. They asked us the occasion and started us off with some complementary rose. The staff were very attentive and the starters were delicious. Recommend the truffle fries so tasty and perfectly crispy. We also enjoyed the special of the night lobster with risotto. Alex our server was amazing. He gave us a small desert to celebrate our night. We loved eating here on our date night.

    My first visit to The Heid was a very pleasant one - it has a fine taste in decor and the whole Inn is in a lush green serene creek side setting. The appetizers/small bites were delicious and good to share with 2-4 people. We had Hummus, flatbread and charcuterie dishes. I and my friends were there during Happy Hour between 5 and 7pm when some beer and a couple of cocktail drinks were a few dollars off. I would go back and try their breakfast next time.
