Best Seasonal Restaurants in Santa Clara

This was the one and time the kitchen was super slow in getting one out of four meals to our table… such a surprise to me as the service is normally spot on here. However, our waitress, Liz, handled the problem well and with a lot of patience with our obvious irritation! She gets a gold star for sure!

We enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner here this year. It was bustling -- I guess a lot of folks didn't want to cook! Everything was excellent. We ordered the prix fixe dinners. Two of us had the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. My vegetarian hubby had the ravioli which he said was delicious. The salad was a great starter -- loved the persimmons. We all loved the butternut squash soup -- there was a certain spice in it that made the soup extra special and delicious. Our turkey dinners were just the right size -- we especially enjoyed the brussels sprouts with lardons. The pie slices were fine -- tasted good, but nothing exceptional. The service was very, very good. Our waiter was attentive and always there for us. All and all a very nice Thanksgiving dinner -- with just a couple ciders, sparkling waters, coffee and including tax and tip it was $400 for three (3) of us. We felt it was worth it.

I highly recommend King’s Fish House. The service was outstanding and the food was great. My husband accidentally spilled his wine on the table and everyone from our waiter to the manager were quick to respond, clean our mess, and give a refill. They had wait staff come by frequently to ensure we were doing well and the seafood was fresh and delicious. Keep up the good work, we’ll definitely be back.

We planned a visit here some months ago but it took a while to organize. So very glad we persevered! Beautiful food and wine served by knowledgeable and friendly chefs and servers. If you are Ok with a fixed menu then you will love this elegant Korean/European/Asian food. (The wonderful but now defunct Michelin-starred Al's Place in San Francisco came to mind.) The atmosphere is relaxed and convivial. Prices not cheap but reasonable. We will certainly be back to try another month's offerings.

The food here is delicious and pasta cooked perfectly al dente. The service could improve by providing a more elevated level of interaction and communication. Our server referred to myself as well as the male patrons on both tables beside us as “boss.” At the end of our delicious meal our check was mixed up with another table and overcharged as a bottle of wine not ordered was added to our bill. We’ll still continue to eat here as the food is well worth the inconveniences we experienced.
