Best Romantic Restaurants in Santa Clara

Appetizer came out a bit warm. But overall great food with great service. Had a great anniversary dinner.

A total hidden gem with delicious food that feels less salty and less greasy than other fancy restaurants

Nadia was our waitress. She was great. Very enthusiastic and helpful. Having her as your server is worth the visit!

Our dinner was excellent. We arrived early to have a drink at their 2nd floor bar. The bartender was very efficient. Ordered one of their specialty cocktails while my wife ordered a mock tail. Both were well balanced. Did not note the names. For dinner we tried their bruschetta which had homemade ricotta and tasty. We followed with their octopus which was prepared perfectly. Our entrees were papoardelle with duck and the tagliatelle. Of the two the tagliatelle was a standout with al dente noodles and a not so overly rich sauce with lobster and a dollop of caviar. We finished with their beignets which were over the top. Very nice addition to downtown and hope for continued excellence. The service was very attentive in a vibrant atmosphere. Recommended.

If you’re looking for a dining experience that hits all the right notes—exceptional food, impeccable service, and a touch of indulgence—LB Steak in San Jose’s Santana Row is the place to go. This modern American steakhouse nails it every time, from the perfectly cooked steaks to the decadent sides and fresh seafood dishes. Let’s start with the bone-in ribeye. This steak is so juicy and tender it feels like it cuts itself. Every bite is rich, flavorful, and cooked exactly as ordered. And then there’s the filet mignon, a masterpiece in its own right. Each bite of this melt-in-your-mouth steak makes you stop mid-conversation just to savor the moment. I’m convinced these steaks have ruined me for any other restaurant. Before the main event, we started with the tuna tartare—a refreshing, vibrant dish layered with avocado mousseline, pear gochujang, and crisp apples. It’s the kind of appetizer that makes you want to order two because it’s too good to share. Now let’s talk about the lobster mac and cheese, which deserves its own standing ovation. Creamy, cheesy, and generously loaded with succulent lobster, this dish is pure decadence. Honestly, it’s worth the trip to LB Steak for this side alone. Pair it with your steak, and you’ll wonder why every meal doesn’t include lobster mac. And I can’t forget the service—absolute perfection. The staff was attentive without hovering, knew the menu inside and out, and made sure every detail of the evening was flawless. It’s rare to find a place that balances top-tier food with such genuine hospitality. LB Steak is more than just a meal; it’s an experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself, this spot delivers every single time. Trust me—go hungry and leave happy. You’ll be planning your next visit before you’ve even finished dessert.
