Happy Hour

No question, among the nicest sushi dinners I've had. The unagi has a lovely smokiness and melts in your mouth. Several menu items not commonly found in most sushi restaurants include amber jack and a couple snapper variations, all melt in your mouth. This past visit, the uni could not be beat. Just be prepared, these delights will cost a pretty penny. More

Naschmarkt Restaurant2. Naschmarkt Restaurant

$$$$
Austrian | Campbell, San Jose / Silicon Valley

Naschmarkt is ALWAYS fabulous -- superb food, authentic cuisine, wide choices, knowledgeable staff, great service, attention to details, interesting and appropriate wines, decent/fair prices...the accolades list goes on and on. Very simply this is one of those "must try" restaurants -- not because it will be your/the ultimate blow-your-socks-off dining experience but rather because it is just outstanding. No doubt that's why it's so popular. And we drive 40 minutes just to dine there. This is the kind of restaurant that you not only want to return to, you will be eager to do so...as soon as you can. Furthermore, you will wonder why more restaurants aren't capable of meeting all of the benchmarks set by Naschmarkt...they do everything perfectly. More

Steak | Santa Clara, San Jose / Silicon Valley

Really enjoy this place. My wife and I have been there for dinners and happy hours. We always left with big smile on our faces. The cocktails are good and the steaks are amazing. We always get the tomahawk. It feels like you can't go wrong picking any of the sides or desserts. The service and ambiance also makes this place ideal for celebrations or a nice date. Already planning for future reservations at this Flemings. More
