Restaurants near SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

Four of us had a wonderful pre holiday lunch and we are all extremely satisfied customers for close to 20 years. The food was amazing, we began with fried calamari and the cauliflower soup. We shared the branzino (deboned ) sole fish, lamb chops and the chicken souvlaki. For dessert two of us enjoyed Judy's ice cream sundae and an order of galaktourrko and the chocolate cake. Delicious.. Our server Pryush was beyond outstanding, very helpful and extremely pleasant.

Been to this restaurant many times bc of convenience, but it hasn’t been my favorite bc service is typically slow and the quality of the food inconsistent for the price, but last night everything was great, the service, the timeliness of the food arrival and the overall quality of the dishes were great. Everything was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly, whatever the VB team did last night keep it going, and I’ll visit more often.

Great food, excellent and served hot. Imaginative tapas, very nice combo of fried and fresh. All nicely flavored. The squid ink risotto was excellent, good combo. The waiter was very accommodating with our group size. Interesting sangrias, would recommend. Too noisy for conversation!

Sending gratitude and well wishes to and for all the staff that worked so hard on this evening to make our wishes come true. Each of you that we interacted with made this an evening to remember and I hope you know how much your kind gestures, big and small were and are appreciated. -Including allowing us to stand in the way between staff and bar without so much as a grimace or hint of annoyance though it was not lost on me, how frustrating it must have been maneuvering martinis between us on such a busy evening! Thank you and Merry Christmas- may all of your guests be kind and big tippers this holiday and may all your wishes come true!

Great service, ambiance, and overall experience! We split some starters (the bread and veggies for the burrata was overcharred but the dish itself was perfect), and had the steak sandwich, Chinese chicken salad, Roasted Chicken, and Zambrini. Every dish was flavorful. Surprisingly the parking wasn’t as difficult as I had feared. I would definitely return. Just make sure to book well in advance!
