Lion and CompassVenison in plum wine sauceThis was one of the best dishes I have ever eaten. It was ridiculously delicious.5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMI had the skirt steak salad.I had the skirt steak salad. My friends had Chinese Chicken Salad and Nicoise. All three were very good!
Service was good but our particular waitress was a little forgetful.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMFine Food in Casual EleganceLion and Compass continues to show a nice mix of class with a relaxed dining atmosphere. We had a group of 6, two were late due to being stuck in traffic while the other 4 hung out in the bar, they held our table for 30 minutes, it might have helped that I called with the update. We had a tasty dinner with appetizers, the food was top notch, friendly wait staff, nobody had to send anything back. The shrimp cocktail was scrumptous with cold, big prawns and flavorful sauce. Solid, reasonably priced wine list. Nice to know when I pick this place for my colleagues to get together for a dinner they will not be disappointed, but rather they can talk and dine and enjoy each others company and are impressed with the choice of restaurants.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMSolid business dinner/ lunchSolid business dinner/ lunch location in San Jose.4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMReserved a section for 12.Reserved a section for 12. Great food and environment.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Restaurant!I had not gone to Lion and Compass for many years and was concerned that it was no longer the great restaurant I had frequented many times years ago! What a glorious surprise! Although a different menu, the food was contemporary, innovative, creative, and outstanding! I had the delicious artichoke soup and the Asian seafood "pot de feur". Friends enjoyed their choices, too, raviolis, salmon, seabass! Lots of good choices including beef. We were pampered by the servers and manager! Highly recommend it!3/21/2013 12:00:00 AM
