    I eat here every time I’m in San Jose … it’s always excellent. I was going to leave a less than 5 star review as the hostess was rude when we checked in and then seated us at the bar with a metal pole right on front of us when there were other seats available. Fortunately bartender Alex allowed us to move and provided amazing drinks and service for the rest of the night. Had it not been for Alex, this review would have been much different.

    My dining experience at Amana was truly exceptional! I had the Chef Table experience where you get a 5 course dinner with optional wine pairing. All items received are not available in the menu so every plate was a surprise with a perfect combination of flavors and textures. This goes in hand with the culinary concept of Amana which combines local ingredients with techniques from around the world giving each plate a unique flavor. The service is exceptional in addition to allowing interactions with the chef. I will definitely be going back to try their menu items!

    Great experience for a birthday event. Some of the food was a bit over salty but for the most part very good. Service was great from the host and all waitresses. Thank you so much for the great experience.
