Restaurants near Quality Inn & Suites Santa Clara

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!

I love Fleming’s so I decided to come for my anniversary, the staff was very nice and welcoming I came an hour before my reservation because I came out of town and they were able to seat me within minutes despite it being a busy weekend. They decorated the table and served us complimentary glasses of wine long side a box of chocolates. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and served us with exceptionally fast yet caring service. The food was delicious as well were the drinks. A great selection of wine as well. Definitely will 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.

It was a busy valentines evening and unfortunately the kitchen had a problem with their system which messed our order up so I came at all different times. Instead of a hollow apology the server and their manager looked after us and more than made up for the problem. Great customer service.

I love this place! The food is great, the bread is even better, and I love the choices they have of different kinds of oysters, you can't go wrong with their seafood - especially the Chilean Sea Bass or fresh Alaskan Halibut.
