- RRichardSan Francisco Bay Area •39 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe food is creative and beautifully presented. We were there for a prix fixe dinner for Valentine’s Day. The short ribs were wonderfully lean. The dessert was creative and yummy. The portions were perfect. I think they should use more seasoning to make the food pop. There were an annoying number of upgrades, none of which we selected, which ultimately made us feel like cheapskates even though we spent $200 a plate. The cocktails were excellent and wine by the glass was a good value. Overall it was an excellent dining experience.More infoLiraPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Campbell•4.8

- SSuzieVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •23 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoMy new favorite spot in San Jose! The service is consistently excellent! Each dish is so flavorful and hand made! I had the lobster bisque and shrimp and crab Cobb salad. The bisque was perfectly flavored and not salty…the Cobb was a generous portion and excellent dressing. My server was so professional which made lunch even tastier! I will be coming back soon!More infoLB Steak - Santana RowPrice: Expensive• American• San Jose•4.5
