Brussels sprouts
Brandy L.

Went for lunch located in Santana row. Got seated right away by a very friendly hostess. Never been during the day so weird to see it almost empty. Not a beer drinker but love the atmosphere seeing all the pipes overhead pumping the brew. Food was good and large portions. Able to share my plate . Great spot to grab lunch or dinner or even happy hour .

Pepper Jack Burger
Thinh L.

I have been going here since I was a teenager and the consistency has been more or less the same. The food might've been much higher quality back then but overall the interior and service has always been at a good standard. I like the staff's responsiveness to seating especially during busy times. I usually go here for happy hour and get some apps and brews in my system. There is a lot of comfort food options although not the best for you health-wise still hits the spot.

Mushroom Pizza
Emily M.

Yard house happy hour has to be one of my favorite places for happy hour. They have a good variety for cheap. Not only is the food good but it's a great place for any sporting event as they have TVs from every angle that there isn't one bad seat in the restaurant. For the happy hour I got the poke nachos and the mushroom pizza. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the pizza. The crust was super light and each bite was packed with flavor. The poke nachos were also a huge hit but I did notices some inconsistencies as some peoples poke nachos seemed to be alot more loaded than ours. However the wonton chips alone on the poke nachos were supper delicious and not too hard where it cuts up your mouth

Poke Nachos
Rachel L.

Such a fun happy hour experience! Half off apps were totally worth it. If there's one thing you HAVE to get it's the chicken nachos. This was MASSIVE and so delicious. I personally also really enjoyed the fried calamari with spicy peppers. the poke nachos, and the lettuce chicken wraps. I would honestly skip on the pepperoni pizza though. They had $2 off beers which made for a great time! Our server was not exactly the most enthusiastic but pretty helpful and let us try lots of beer samples. Ambiance is just like any American restaurant/bar chain you'd stumble across.

Margherita Pizza
Megan S.

Service was 5/5, even on a super busy night with a huge waitlist! Everything came out fresh and fast and our server was knowledgeable and super friendly! The margarita pizza didn't look like the one on their menu - way too cheesy for my liking and lacking tomatoes. The crust was also so puffy in places that it just crusted away so half the pizza was inedible. The beef bowl was surprisingly super tasty - just too salty and lacked rice. It was mostly vegetables, which were still great, but it definitely needs more starch. The chips and guac were fantastic! Warm chips and spicy guac - can't go wrong. Overall just mediocre. Would go again for happy hour.

Fried Calamari, Cheese Curds
Jenny D.

We ate here on Friday evening. It was crowded and lively, as expected. We were a large party so we had to wait very long, even though we had a reservation. We ordered lobster garlic noodles, which is my absolute favorite meal. There's a perfect amount of garlic so that the noodles don't feel creamy and oily. We also ordered a truffle cheese burger and sweet potato fries. The burger has a typical flavor and the fries portion was small. My group tried the cheese curds and calamari. The calamari was alright. We'd probably skip the cheese curds. Overall, Yard House is a great restaurant. I would come back here if I'm eating with a small group.

We came around 7:30 on a weekday and there was a 10 minute wait, but it was worth it! We enjoyed most of our dishes and the good came out quickly. Taste: We tried a variety of ahi tuna dishes, nachos, chicken wings, brussels sprouts, calamari, and chicken dishes. My personal favorite was anything with tuna. Parking: There's a few parking gathers nearby and the first 2 hours is free. Service: Good

We came here to watch the England vs Mexico game with a group of 9 people. The restaurant was packed and we loved the energy in the restaurant. Service was excellent despite it being such a busy evening. My favorite was the lemon pepper fried wings, the Margherita pizza, and the poke nachos. The fish and chips was also delicious because of the breading on the fish and the fish itself was perfect cooked. We also tried some of their grapefruit beer which I enjoyed immensely and also some of their cocktails with coconut. Overall they exceeded my expectations for both the food, service, and drinks. Excited to return and try their happy hour.

Suzie C.

Great ambiance, typically nice and fast service. Unfortunatley, this place is only good for happy hour. If you go on regular hours, the food is over priced especially if you measure the quality to price ratio. Happu hour is a whole diffefent story, you will get the most bang for the buck. They do have a great beer selection, so its a big plus. Also drinking a half yard gives you a better experiemce.

Classic Sliders
HanNa P.

We visited for happy hour on a weekday. Service was fine. We sat at the bar. Ordered two drinks and some food too. Beer, Dragonfruit lemonade, Four cheese dip and Classic sliders. Everything was ok. Menu has lots of choices. It hit the cravings. But inside was a bit unclean. Private lot in mall.

Spinach Dip
Rose L.

Happy hour is amazing as usual! I love the spinach dip the most but the ahi tuna tower and calamari is yummy as well! The bar is first come first serve and the tables you may have to wait. Ginger ale is yum although some limes would be swell! Service is always nice.

Fried Chicken Sandwich
analynn n.

I often go during happy hour which is 3-6pm so most appetizers are half off. Poke nachos are FIRE I eat 2 plates alone :). Don't recommend anything chicken as they tend to be burnt. Service is typically nice and you can order on the tablet so you don't have to flag your waiter down. It can get pretty hectic sometimes but honestly not bad for a quick cheap eat. The place is pretty big and loud.

Classic Sliders, Spicy Jambalaya, Onion Ring
Nu Nandar A.

I usually come here for happy hour since they have amazing deals, but came here around 1pm on a Tuesday for lunch this time and it wasn't busy at all, which made for a nice, relaxed experience. The restaurant has a dimly lit ambiance with a variety of seating options: booths, high-top tables, and bar seating. I was seated in a lower-level booth next to the bar, which felt cozy. I ordered my go-to jambalaya with spicy rice (not spicy for me) and it did not disappoint. It was very flavorful with a generous portion, loaded with shrimp, crawfish, sausage, and chicken. Definitely hit the spot. My friend got the sliders with onion rings and said they were really delicious as well. Service was great. The server was friendly and attentive, checking in on us throughout the meal without being overbearing. Overall, a solid lunch spot and I'd come back again.

I walked in and stood waiting to be seated while an employee, who appeared to be the owner or manager, continued talking with her kids instead of acknowledging customers. I don't mind waiting, but a simple "We'll be right with you" would have made all the difference. I decided to give them another chance. On a later visit, I spent a few hours working there and ordered drinks. When a friend joined me, he sat down and was completely ignored. No one came over to greet him or ask if he'd like anything. We eventually had to flag someone down just so he could place an order. After that, our server mentioned that Tuesdays were buy one, get one free on wine. I ordered my second glass, but it never arrived. When I asked another server about it, I was made to feel like I was inconveniencing them. The irony is that I would have happily paid full price--I wasn't the one asking for a deal. They were the ones who brought up the promotion, then acted bothered when I politely asked about the wine that was never delivered. The final straw was our most recent visit. We were seated at a table by the staff, only to be told a few minutes later that we had to move because the tables were supposedly reserved for the party sitting behind us. We moved without making an issue of it, but no one ever ended up using those tables for the entire time we were there. It was frustrating to be relocated after being seated, especially when the explanation didn't match what actually happened. At this point, it's hard to view these experiences as isolated incidents. The common theme has been inattentive service and an attitude that makes customers feel like they're an inconvenience rather than guests. There are too many great wine bars that genuinely appreciate their customers for me to spend any more time or money here.

Grilled Octopus was excellent as always, my favorite dishes here. Lamb Osso Bucco was served with orzo rice, peas, morels. Lamb was tender and well-seasoned. Tamarind Glazed Salmon served with kale and red quinoa. The salmon itself was good, but I don't think the quinoa was a good match with the dish. The flatbread was the most disliked item we had. It was a bit bland and too doughy. We enjoyed the Peyrassol Rosé (France 2025), which was not only nice to see but also nice to drink. Love the smooth texture and taste. Vanilla Crème Brûlée was enjoyable, the shortbread cookie was somewhat bland. Chocolate Date Cake was rich and quite sweet. Even we shared it among 3-4 people, we still couldn't finish it.

Food was overall good but the server oversold everything. The taste and balance was decent but pricing was 100% unjustified. Review of our table's order - excluding the obvious lack of value and weird plating choices: - mezze dips: skip. rip off. - cauliflower: maybe the best dish of the meal - octopus: sauce was unnecessary and portion size was terrible - caesar salad: not good - lamb shank: tender but the sides were trash - branzino: parts tasted not fully cooked. - lamb chops: DRY. Hammered the protein and drenched in oil...? Do not get. - chicken: large portion and maybe the best bang for buck when feeding large parties. it was ok. No wonder they closed shortly after. I get the high rent given Santana Row pricing but do a little better when hiring service staff.

We had lunch at Suspiro today, and our experience was outstanding thanks to our server, Oswaldo…read more From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. One thing that really stood out to me was that he proactively asked if anyone at the table had any food allergies. I often forget to mention that I have a shellfish allergy, so I truly appreciated him asking before we ordered. That level of attention to detail made me feel safe and well taken care of. Oswaldo also had fantastic recommendations for both cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages, and every suggestion was spot on. Throughout the meal, he checked in on us frequently without ever being intrusive, making sure everything was perfect. The food was absolutely amazing, and every member of the staff we encountered was kind and welcoming. However, Oswaldo's exceptional service really elevated our entire experience.

Which, the server who greeted us let us to do (we were parties of 3 and 4 when we went). Up until the last time we went (about 2 weeks ago), the hostess refused to let us at the front booths (even they were available). She said "oh we have smaller booths in the back for the 3 of you). And my goodness the table WAS small. So we didn't order the bottle of wine and paella per usual, because the table was already full with everything else we ordered. One star off here, she should have let us be seated at the front since we had a reservation and they had two booths available when we went for lunch. As far as food goes, I like them better than other Spanish restaurants in the South Bay. My daughter loves beets and the beets salad here has 3 types (purple, pink and golden), which she loves. My favorite is their steamed mussels, they were fresh, decent in size and perfectly cooked. We also enjoyed their Spanish ham plate; I like how they let us customize which meats to be included. My daughter liked their chicken skewers more than the beef; for some reasons the chicken was more tender than the beef. I like ordering the bottle of rose to go with the food... well, only if can enjoy it when we have more table space though. Overall, pleasant experience and we will go back for sure. A good place to chill and hang out with friends and/or family.

(However, people watching is so much fun when sitting outside!) Cosme was our fabulous server who shared the daily specials with us. I asked him which I should choose, the Ahi Tuna BLT, $26, or the Nicoise Salad, $31. He recommended the BLT! Two friends decided to share the Wester Ross Scottish Salmon, $36, and our other friend ordered her favorite Nicoise salad, $31. My Ahi Tuna BLT was a sight to behold! This sourdough sandwich was crunchy on the outside and multi-layered with sliced ahi tuna, bacon, avocado, tomato, butter lettuce and a horseradish aioli, on the inside, and served with a side of thin and crispy French fries! The portion size was so big that I could only eat half the sandwich! I really like bang-for-my-buck, and I definitely got it with this entree! The fries were perfection, salty and crispy! My friend who always ordered the Nicoise salad when she dines here, totally cleaned her plate. This salad was another showstopper. It was almost too pretty to eat! The two friends who shared the salmon entree were not as impressed. They both thought the salmon was a tad dry when Cosme explained it should be served medium. One friend thought the cauliflower puree base helped to compensate a little for the dryness of the salmon, but the other friend chose to share her displeasure with Cosme, who apologized, then relayed the message to the chef. Shortly after, Cosme offered to have another salmon cooked, which my friends agreed to. Then Left Bank's general manager, Jessica, came over to ask how we were enjoying our meal. Jessica kindly heard their comments regarding the salmon (and the price for a small serving...no bang-for-your-buck with the salmon...) and offered to have another salmon served up for them. (We told her that Cosme had already arranged for that.) She assured she would inspect the next serving before it was presented. It came out looking even more beautiful and enticing then the first plating, and happily the cook and texture was perfect the second time around! I was surprised with a birthday plate of ice cream decorated with raspberries, a chocolate leaf, and yummy crushed wafers, compliments of Jessica. Thank you, Jessica, Cosme, and your staff for your epic customer service. We will definitely return again soon! I also used my InKind app to pay for my meal. I was able to redeem my InKind reward to pay a portion of my lunch!
