Best Lunch Restaurants in Santa Clara

This was the one and time the kitchen was super slow in getting one out of four meals to our table… such a surprise to me as the service is normally spot on here. However, our waitress, Liz, handled the problem well and with a lot of patience with our obvious irritation! She gets a gold star for sure!

We enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner here this year. It was bustling -- I guess a lot of folks didn't want to cook! Everything was excellent. We ordered the prix fixe dinners. Two of us had the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. My vegetarian hubby had the ravioli which he said was delicious. The salad was a great starter -- loved the persimmons. We all loved the butternut squash soup -- there was a certain spice in it that made the soup extra special and delicious. Our turkey dinners were just the right size -- we especially enjoyed the brussels sprouts with lardons. The pie slices were fine -- tasted good, but nothing exceptional. The service was very, very good. Our waiter was attentive and always there for us. All and all a very nice Thanksgiving dinner -- with just a couple ciders, sparkling waters, coffee and including tax and tip it was $400 for three (3) of us. We felt it was worth it.

One of my favorite restaurants, Birk’s is like a home away from home. I came to this restaurant for lunch once a week for over 10 years. The service is perfect - timely and personal. I love this place.

Brought my 2 year old for a thanksgiving date because my husband was working. Service was outstanding and food was delicious! We ordered off the thanksgiving specials menu, I ordered the filet, my son got the Mac n cheese. The little appetizer plate they brought my son was a huge hit and he nibbled it throughout the meal. My salad was lovely and my filet was cooked a perfect medium. The sides were to share and they were huge, we brought so much food home. The potatoes were so good! The green beans were a favorite of my son. My son had an ice cream sundae and I had the carrot cake. The cake was so delicious, I had to take half home, it was very big. The sundae was two huge scoops of ice cream and a cookie with sprinkles, my son was so excited when it came out. When we arrived only a 1/4 or so of the tables were taken, when we left the place was looking fully booked but we didn’t feel rushed, service remained excellent throughout the entirety of the meal. The hostess was a big help, getting my son a little booster seat and removing the knives from his place setting. Overall, it was a great value and we had a lovely time. It’s a great place to bring children if they enjoy a restaurant experience and can sit and eat with you. My son loves trying new foods and he loved sitting by the kitchen.

Great time! Very accommodating to our needs. We had three children with us and they were great
