    This place was PERFECT to celebrate our beautiful friend's bday! The atmosphere was so fun, great lighting and smoke machine, clean, spacious, DJ was lit, kudos for the stage and dance floor, the staff was all so friendly, pretty and welcoming! Bottle service was reasonable and food prices was just right! Our group had an amazing time and will def be back! Such a hidden gem in South San Jose. It wasn't packed, service was very attentive, the waitresses was having fun with us and we just love the whole vibe of the place! Thanks so much for hosting our group, Sensacion! See you soon!

    Very nice place, good service and cheap prices, I like this place amazing show, delicious food and faster service

    SO MUCH FUN!!!! And an absolute find. The food and drinks are pricy but OK, not the best and if you don't eat meat or seafood you're going to struggle a bit finding option. But the service and show makes up for any flaws in the food. I've never seen a staff working o hard between making drinks, serving tables, and performing. A true event and the perfect place to go in SJ with friends!

The steaks are great, the pizzas are delicious, and they also have a great selection of appetizers that are perfect for sharing. We've never had a bad meal or anything to complain about. We've also celebrated several birthdays and milestone events here, and it's always been a great place for a group. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces have a wonderful atmosphere, whether you're coming for a casual dinner or celebrating something special. The desserts are always worth saving room for, and the staff has consistently been friendly and attentive. The only drawback is that they don't take reservations. You can call ahead, but on busy nights we usually still end up waiting for a table. That said, it's always worth the wait. Great food, great atmosphere, and a place we continue to come back to.

There is indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is very clean and decorated nicely. Perfect ambiance for a date My husband ordered the skirt steak with chimichurri and I ordered the 8oz filet. We shared the Brussels sprouts and wedge salad (pic shows half) The steaks were cooked well and were flavorful. I was 50/50 on the Brussels, there is a lot going on with that dish. The wedge salad was ok, I wish it was bigger. I forgot the name of the bourbon cocktail that my husband ordered but it was delicious. I would definitely come back. There are several items on the menu that I want to try such as the grilled branzino. Great service, The waiter was attentive. Pricing was what I expected which was 4/5 $$$$ One thing to add is that I would love if they incorporated a happy hour.

After being seated, our table went unnoticed for approximately 15 minutes despite multiple staff members passing by. When I approached a staff member with a black bun in her hair to ask for assistance, I was asked, "Were you seated by a staff member, or did you seat yourself?" After explaining that we had a reservation and had been seated, I was told, "Someone will be right there." It was another five minutes before our server came to the table. When he attempted to walk away after taking our drink orders, we had to stop him to place our food order as well. Our drinks then took an additional 20 minutes to arrive. They were only brought out after I asked a passing bartender for assistance, who then had to locate our server and remind him that our table had not received our drinks. Unfortunately, the issues continued with the food. I was extremely disappointed to learn that the fried calamari is made with imitation squid, and the quality of the remaining dishes was unacceptable. My quesadilla appeared to have been microwaved, resulting in one half being cold while the other half was excessively hot. My mother's flautas were soggy, falling apart, and not served at an acceptable standard. Additionally, we requested waters from our server three separate times, and they were never brought to our table, as well as refills of the drinks we currently had were never offered. What was most disappointing was seeing other tables that were seated after us receive attentive service while our table was repeatedly overlooked. I would appreciate clarification regarding what happened during our visit and how this situation will be addressed moving forward.

Within easy walking distance of plenty of parking and a parking garage if you don't find anything on the street nearby . Reservations were easy to make and they had a cute light up Happy Birthday sign waiting on the table! The ambiance was dark but had great ambient lighting . I loved the green velvet booths and decor , which evoked old Hollywood glamour ! Tables were set up in way that you didn't have to maneuver around them to get to the bathroom which was roomy and clean! There was a bat and lounge area to one side and seated dining on the other , Our server Camille was amazing ! So attentive and her timing got delivering each Sri name course was on point . Birthday girl asked for suggestions a fruity house cocktail. Instead of just rattling off the fruity drinks, she asked questions to personalize a suggestion and described each drink! The food was fresh and presented nicely. One of my friends and I decided to each order the poke tacos . I loved them! Even though it was probably an appetizer is the right amount for a light meal. My friends ordered the Korean spice chicken and pan seared salmon and they both complimented their meal. I can't remember the all the names-of the drinks except for the Miami Vice the birthday girl ordered . We also got her one that was served lit on fire ! I w myself was happy that they served Ballast Point Sculpin on draft! The lava cake was served with strawberries and delicious! The birthday girl even got a bowl of ice cream, a candle and huge sparkler to hold while we sang happy birthday . I debated rating on my 4 stars for the noise level , but honestly , I can't fault the restaurant for parties having fun . It's a testament to venue excellence! One table though seamed to communicate in hysterical screams every time they had a new drink served. Great place for groups, drinks and easy reservations! My friend used OpenTable) . Will definitely return.

    This is a review for their weekday Bar & Lounge Happy Hour (Tue - Thu 5pm - 10pm... yes, you read…read morethat right... all night Happy Hour). After our first visit last night, I think it's safe to say it is probably the best Happy Hour offering in the SF South Bay. Good quality, good value, great service and nice club/lounge ambiance. Here's what we shared food-wise... * HH Garlic Noodles -- This didn't quite meet my expectation. Described as a "perfectly cooked pasta tossed in rich garlic butter", what we got was more like a soft udon type noodle with a rather starchy garlic sauce. The taste was definitely very garlicky, but the dish could have been much better with an al dente pasta tossed in an actual garlic butter or olive oil. * HH Wagyu Smash Burger -- This was yum! Great flavor, nicely grilled served on a toasted soft brioche bun. ($15 on HH versus $32 witha side of fries on the Dinner Menu :o) * HH Hamachi Crudo -- This was superb! Fresh generous slices of yellowtail topped with sliced lemon, jalapeno, tobiko and microgreens, perfectly matched with Ponzu sauce. ($12 on HH for 4 pieces versus $23 for 5 pieces on the Dinner menu) * HH Crab Cakes -- 2 medium sized blue crab cakes with diced mango and spicy aioli. Pretty decent for $14. * HH Crispy Brussels Sprouts -- Good standard fare. For drinks, we enjoyed... * HH Weather Pinot Noir -- Our server, Mikayla, said it was her favorite wine on the HH menu. It was very nice. * HH Mango Deck -- Reposado, Jalapeno syrup, lime and mango puree with a 151 rum flambee. Great drink if you like sweet, sour and spicy... and it comes with a show as the 151 rum is lit. Will definitely return. Would love to try the HH Grand Seafood Tower with oysters, yellowtail and salmon sashimi, shrimp and lobster ($65 on HH) which we saw another table order. Looks like a great place for a larger party celebration too.

I thought some dishes were great; the wagyu burger was decadent. Other dishes were not that special. The scallops didn't taste too fresh (likely frozen) and combining them with hummus didn't quite work. The side of bread was practically insulting. $5 for stale table bread was a surprise. Dishes arrived very late; we were nearly forgotten when we tried to order, and then after ordering, we waited 40 minutes between appetizers and the main course. Not because they were cooking it; they just forgot we were there and when they brought out the dishes, the scallops were no longer just-cooked, and the burger had been sitting for a bit. No apology, just an acknowledgment it was late, and no discount (not even on the stale bread). They offered us wine, we said we didn't drink, and they just moved on. I debated a lot about how to review this. It's my personal experience that was disappointing, and I'm glad some reviews are very upbeat. But there's a handful of reviews noting frustrating delays... and that needs to be worked on.

We had just planned on getting a drink, but after looking over their food menu, which had some super fun and delicious sounding options (I'm looking at and will be back for you swordfish carpaccio) we decided to get a small bite too. Went with the focaccia because how can you say no to warm bread? We both opted for espresso martinis, though many of the others sounded and looked amazing - we saw so many getting made and going out while at the bar. The tinis were really good, a little stronger on the coffee, but I'll take that over one that's overly sweet anyday. The vibe was dark and high end but not bougie, definitely a place you can get dressed up to visit, or show up in your patagonia jacket and a baseball cap. Super excited to come back and try more cocktails and food!

With the current pricing at Cedar Room, I'm now walking out spending close to $100, compared to the $40-$50 I would normally spend before.

We were seated outside and I did not get a chance to go to the inside. The outdoor is decorated with fake green plants and heat lamps are installed. It's comfortable. Some of the white chairs looked quite dirty, though. It was a birthday party with a white dress code, so I was a bit concerned. The cocktail menu is beautiful. We tried Butterfly Effect, Espresso Martini, Caffe Al Pistachio, and Thai Strawberry Thing. I found the Butterfly Effect refreshing, but I like my Espresso Martini the most because it's creamy and tasty. The alcohol bitterness was covered up well. If you like sweeter drinks, the Caffe Al Pistachio and Thai Strawberry Thing tasted like candy. The Caffe Al Pistachio did not look like the picture on the menu; there's no layer of pistachio foam on top. We ordered so much food! -Mexican Street Corn: nicely presented and tasted fine. It's a bit hard to cut into smaller pieces however. -Shrimp Ceviche: ok, good portion for a large party to share. The chopped shrimp was a bit too small for me. -Buffalo Cauliflower: Slightly like the Indian cauliflower dish but I love how chunky the cauliflower is and how soft the texture is. -Fried Chicken Sando: good sando, but hard to be bad with fried food. So it's a safe choice if you don't know what to order. -Loco Moco: We were asked how well we wanted the steak to be and our choice of egg; which seems strange to me to imagine having scrambled eggs on top. I like the dish in general; we doesn't like burger patty, eggs and gravy sauce. -Uncle Dave's Chili & Cornbread: Good chili, beany and tasty. The corn bread is also good in texture, dense but not crumbly. Any time there's an actual person's name on the dish picks up my curiosity and interest. -Jambalaya: The right amount of spiciness! The rice is soft, chewy and soaked up all the flavors. Good size and amount of shrimp. -Garlic Noodles with Salmon: The most popular dish on our table. Lots of chopped garlic making the noodles flavorful. Another safe choice if you don't know what to get. -Molten Chocolate Lava Cake: delicious, and the cake is baked just right. Soft in the inside, chocolaty and rich on the cake. -Ube Cheesecake: The most loved dessert with distinct ube flavor. -Churro Waffle: the waffles tasted chewy and it's a good portion with lots of fruit, ice cream, and chocolate sauce. It's a bit too sweet for me. The table provided forks and napkins but no knives. Some dishes came with a service spoon or knife, but we wish there were knives in the utensil holder so we can do more self help. One thing I am pleasantly surprised is the reasonable prices. Most entrees are under $20!
