I was there last time for their freshly cooked paella and it was impeccable. Recently we came back…read moretwice, once on Sunday as I forgot that the paella was a Friday thing, so the staff told me that they usually have paella and clam chowder freshly cooked on Friday. They happened to have a small tub of Friday clam chowder left for sale, for a whopping $16! That price dropped my rating to a 4 star. Service is still 5, but man, the value proposition isn't as high as before. The clam chowder tasted good, creamy and all, but $16 for that is really hard to swallow. The store itself is clean and sells a variety of meat products and imported goods such as from Italy. We came again on Friday evening, at 5pm exact and saw the paella pan laid outside with some amount of paella piled up. The pan felt cold and we were confused if they haven't started cooking or those were the left over. So we went inside to ask and they said the paella was available starting at 5pm, so what's on the pan was cooked. We bought 1 portion, which feeds 2-3 and it came in two 16 oz tubs. For $35, it fed my husband and myself just right. The smoky flavor was on the rice with meat and lots of clams and mussels (but not those fatty mussels that you saw in the Belgium style dish). $35 for dinner of two is not as bad value as the $16 bowl of chowder. So overall, 3.5-4 stars for food and value, 5 stars for service and friendliness.

A very big plus for an Iranian restaurant. Usually they're packed. I think it's because the location is not as visible, and the Bay Area has a few other Iranian restaurants that dominate the market. So it's nice to see a different place. I only ordered the combo koobideh(beef&chicken). Took about 10 minutes, the staff was really friendly, the space looked very clean and good for family occasions. Food was ready, and I was excited, zoomed home and opened the box and the smell just made me fall in love. Btw it was Valentine's Day lol.. so this was a gift to myself. The RICE was the masterpiece. Nice and buttery(not too much) and saffron yellow. This itself was a star of the show. Both the beef and the chicken were very flavorful, of course I had to put sumac to add more flavor. They even included a few pieces of bread. And the burnt tomatoes.. LOVE them. Really happy I found this place, and the staff was really friendly and didn't feel very tiptop snobby. Kheyli mamnoon!!!

By far my favorite farmers market, I have tried the ones in Campbell, Sunnyvale and Saratoga and…read morehighly prefer this one due to the extensive Asian produce choice available. Prices are reasonable compared to other cities as well. In warmer days, this is my Sunday morning haunting ground! I buy fresh organic strawberries here, they are sweeter compared to the ones from the grocery stores and uber fresh. I also make it a point to get red sorrel when in season. Called "gongura" in my native language, we use it for everything from lentils to meat based dishes and even biryani. My other favorite is drumstick leaves, it's known for its medicinal properties and makes lentil based dishes more delicious.

I was very disappointed in their service on two key points…read more First of all, I ordered from Bleu Fig based on their online photos of large, artfully chaotic platters with imagination, flowers, unusual crudites, and color. What I received when expecting a $300 platter was a rather plain circle of sliced vegetables with dip on a compostable saucer and two small dishes. the $275 charcuterie platter was better composed, but not mind-blowing. Secondly, the order was expected at 12:15pm, and wasn't ready as she was still working on it past 12:50. This made me miss key important parts of my event, the guests arrivals, and late in picking up other catered items which got cold. I got no phone call or text letting me know the order was going to be late and it ruined a key portion of my event.

It's absolutely the kind of place designed to impress for a special occasion, with a price point that reflects the experience. The service was warm, energetic, and welcoming from start to finish, beginning with the front desk and continuing through the attentive staff at our table. Every appetizer felt like a conversation piece, taking familiar ingredients and presenting them in creative ways with unexpected textures and flavor combinations. One standout dish featured burrata stuffed inside a hollowed out tomato, which was both clever and genuinely fun to eat. The misoyaki cod was an exceptional interpretation of the classic miso cod, perfectly prepared and deeply flavorful. For dessert, the panna cotta with raspberry sauce was easily my favorite, light, silky, and the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience and a memorable night out.

There could have been a tad more salmon but it was so fresh. Seriously more fresh and buttery than the sushi restaurant down the street. Tuna tacos - 5/5 my favorite! Crispy wonton tacos stuffed with fresh tuna, along with creamy wasabi and sriracha aioli. Miso Cod - 4/5 this would be soo good but the miso was so salty. Maybe it was an off night. For cocktails, hummingbird was so delish - not too sweet and like with everything else, the presentation was top notch.

I sampled the olive bread from Little Sky during the summer and became addicted. 43 & Company is a new booth and everything looks delicious!

We ended up in this restaurant that served microwaved chicken. Blechhh. But luckily we discovered delicious crêpes and croissants during our visit. Guess where we discovered extraordinary French food? Here in California and Las Vegas! Zut!!!! A French Holiday Market was a fun way to discover France again. There were cool French vendors and artists. There were paintings, gently used clothes for kids, jewelry, pots and vases. Of course, there was delicious French gourmet food! I was tempted to get so many yummy stuff, but the lines were long at the crêpes and my daughter was starting to have a meltdown. Well, she did have ballet and soccer before we came here. So I took her to the bouncy house and paid $2 to make her happy, but when we came back to get a crêpe they ran out of strawberries! The Banana Nutella crêpe was tasty but I'm sure it would've been better with strawberries!!!! At least the guy didn't charge us for the whipped cream. Thank you! Oh and thanks to the table giving a way free chocolate brioche! We also stopped by a booth with pretty desserts and I couldn't resist the colorful macarons in a dainty box. It was nice hearing French songs sang by Gaelle Bouldier while we walked around. Oooh la la, elle est douée! What a beautiful voice!! Next year, if this market is here again I'd come early. I think we missed out on pictures with Santa, holiday songs, and other delicious goodies. I enjoyed this event! It might not be the real deal, but I'm glad we got a taste of France.
