   Great food and service in a beautiful hotel setup. Before dinner we enjoyed the beautiful hotel bar and after enjoyed sitting in the beautiful courtyard with water falls.

   Hidden gem inside hotel Valencia. Best octopus I've had and beef cheeks were excellent. Definitely recommended

   We enjoyed our visit! The flavors of the tapas were very good. We felt the shrimp and meatballs were just a hair overcooked but still very good.

   Maybe everything would have been overlooked if we didn’t have to dine inside. It was cold/rainy in CA. Otherwise I think this restaurant at a great hotel on Santana Row needs a redo.

   It's Saturday night and an impromptu Birthday dinner for two of my friends . We showed up to see Everson, the Manager waiting with nice smile and seating us in a quiet , semi private table . The waitress Elida and other servers were friendly and attentive. Everson, the Manager checked on us often, he even brought out a dish himself. We had a very great time, the food was all so delicious. We highly recommend this roof top restaurant to anyone for special or casual occasions

    I made reservations for the Valentines Dinner, and my partner and I were extremely underwhelmed as we were expecting something simple, tasty, and elegant. Instead, we got a mixture of foods that were not only unpleasant, but ridiculously overpriced. Sorry to say we won’t be returning. It’s as if they were trying too hard with over the top exotic ingredients, that they forgot what good even tastes like.

    We have a wonderful birthday celebration for our daughter last night at Oveja Negra (3rd floor of the Valencia Hotel, Santana Row, San Jose). With family health considerations, we decided to make a reservation when the restaurant opened for dinner. We were able to get a table somewhat isolated in our own little nook. The restaurant is relatively small, but it doesn't feel cramped. There is a nice enclosed area for large parties as well. We appreciated being seated early and the wait staff was most attentive and friendly, checking indiscreetly several times to see how we were pacing our meal. Our waiter checked to make sure everything was good and our waters were refilled as needed. Drinks and food were promptly served. Everything was most delicious! We had three in our party and enjoyed the small plates of wonderfully seasoned sautéed mushrooms and the paratas bravas potatoes. For entrees, we recommend with confidence the sea bass (had lots of artichokes to accompany it), vegetable paella and a pasta dish with black truffles. Among the three, the pasta was my least favorite, but still good. My only objection is I felt it should be less expensive, but the truffles adds to the cost. The other prices were reasonable and appropriate, especially the small plates. Quantities were generous, particularly the paella with plenty to share and leftovers besides. The sea bass was the best I've ever tasted. Also recommend the fresh fruit sangria. So delicious with a hint of orange. We will definitely be going back. This is a great find. Just what we needed and were looking for - a sense of fine dining in a quiet atmosphere with delicious food and attentive service. Perfect evening. Our adult daughter was very happy. Oh, and her complimentary birthday crème Brule was incredible with a nice crunchy top. Naturally, we all had some.

    The cocktails were costly. The food was okay. The paella mixta was just okay nothing special. Thankfully it was large enough to share between two. The waiter and staff were good.

    Made reservations to celebrate my birthday and have a relaxing night out with my husband. The ambience was nice. The service was very quick but our server was pretty reserved and gave no recommendations of what we should try or wine pairings, nice drinks. I did look up reviews beforehand so had a good idea of what we would want to order but it’s nice to hear it from the staff as well. My favorite things off of the menu were the crispy potatoes and lobster balls. I would go back to order those again. Overall, the experience was good.

    We went to Oveja Negra to celebrate my birthday and had a fabulous time! We started with around 5-6 small plates to share and then ordered the Paella Mixta. Everything was fabulous, but I probably wouldn't order the paella again. It did not have a the crispy rice that is the signature for a good paella. It was flavorful, but I've definitely had better elsewhere (and for not as pricey). Everything else was fantastic and they even gave me churros with ice cream as a birthday gift. The churros were amazing! All in all we had a great time and would go back there for another special occasion.

    Food had no flavor, perhaps frozen and reheated. This applies to the charcuterie, the octopus, and the mixed paella. Wine selection was limited, and considering this is supposed to be a Spanish restaurant they only had 2 Spanish wines. Overall a disappointing experience. This said, the servers/waiters were attentive.

    The menu clinched the reservation. The food prep and flavors were amazing for every dish. Each plate was served directly from the kitchen, nice and hot. It is definitely worth the effort to find this gem, in the Hotel Valencia, on the 3rd floor just past the lobby. We'll be dining here again for sure.

    Food was good in particular gambas ajillo. Drinks were not very good or worth it. Wine selection is good. Overall a little pricey for good but not awesome food . For a tapas place expected to see more gin drinks given how big gin is in Spain but there was only one and it was not good. Stick with the wine

    The food was fantastic. The ambience was just right. We had only 1 minor issue which was that the paella had a small piece of plastic bag that was mixed in. When I informed the waiter, instead of apologizing for the issue, he explained some times the squid ink package is hard to open and it may had dropped in.

    Loved all the dishes we tried. Delicious ceviche. Every dish had a lot of flavor. Unfortunately the patio wasn’t open to diners as there was private party. But it looked beautiful. Great service. No complaints. If you are taking children, I’d ask what are options for kids. I went with a friend only. I have 2 kids. Not sure what they could have eaten if I took them. But I didn’t ask either.

    So far I’ve been there 4 times and each time I go, my guest(s) - different ones each time are very much pleased. There are a few dishes you should pair with others to really bring out/enhance the flavors like the ordering the truffle pasta with the short rib dish and a side of parmesan and eat them together just to add an American flare to a more Peruvian cuisine. But all in all I have a great meal every time.

    We made a reservation 2 days in advance and noted it was my partner & I’s anniversary and asked if there was any chance to have a nice table. Once we arrived, we were brought to the table by the exit door. No one came to greet or serve us for about 10-15 minutes and once we were, the server looked up and down as if there was something on our clothing all though we were both dressed for the occasion. I wanted to ask for a nicer table but did not want to be “those people.” The food was great other than the service treating us like less than because we are both women. The churros- unbeatable.

    The restaurant has a nice outside sitting area and is away from busy Santano Row crowds. The food was very good. We had three tapas and shared the seafood paella. Everything was good and tasty and the quantity was enough for two people. Our waiter (I think the name was Nemour ?) was outstanding, checking in on us and giving great recommendations. We had a nice time with live guitar music in the background. Thank you!
