Restaurants near The Great Mall of The Bay Area

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at Il Fornaio. We appreciated that they had both Thanksgiving and regular options, and that the Thanksgiving feast could be prix fixe or a la carte. The food was great, but wasn't hot as we would have liked. Everything else was delicious. My friend said the ham was a little dry. Great cocktails and wine list. Our server Candy was outstanding. Very friendly and responsive. She was delightful. Nice interior, and the noise level was comfortable and had a very convivial buzz. We were really glad we chose Il Fornaio for Thanksgiving.

I meet my daughters and friend every year for Thanksgiving brunch at El Torito's in Milpitas. We almost always get great service. This year the restaurant staff did an excellent job serving us. The waitress was on top of keeping our water glasses filled and our table supplied with napkins. They made us feel welcomed and they took great care of us while we were there.

Brought my 2 year old for a thanksgiving date because my husband was working. Service was outstanding and food was delicious! We ordered off the thanksgiving specials menu, I ordered the filet, my son got the Mac n cheese. The little appetizer plate they brought my son was a huge hit and he nibbled it throughout the meal. My salad was lovely and my filet was cooked a perfect medium. The sides were to share and they were huge, we brought so much food home. The potatoes were so good! The green beans were a favorite of my son. My son had an ice cream sundae and I had the carrot cake. The cake was so delicious, I had to take half home, it was very big. The sundae was two huge scoops of ice cream and a cookie with sprinkles, my son was so excited when it came out. When we arrived only a 1/4 or so of the tables were taken, when we left the place was looking fully booked but we didn’t feel rushed, service remained excellent throughout the entirety of the meal. The hostess was a big help, getting my son a little booster seat and removing the knives from his place setting. Overall, it was a great value and we had a lovely time. It’s a great place to bring children if they enjoy a restaurant experience and can sit and eat with you. My son loves trying new foods and he loved sitting by the kitchen.

Pretty chill for a Saturday night. Service took a minute initially but once our server finally showed up everything was good

Our table was ready upon arrival. The boys had a great time. And the food and drinks were on point. My 12yo grandson said he didn’t know D&B had such good food!
