Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients 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.

We planned a visit here some months ago but it took a while to organize. So very glad we persevered! Beautiful food and wine served by knowledgeable and friendly chefs and servers. If you are Ok with a fixed menu then you will love this elegant Korean/European/Asian food. (The wonderful but now defunct Michelin-starred Al's Place in San Francisco came to mind.) The atmosphere is relaxed and convivial. Prices not cheap but reasonable. We will certainly be back to try another month's offerings.

Great Food and service. Beer selection excellent. Apps were awesome (sausage trio / pretzel / chicken spaetzel). Jagerschnitzel never disappoints. Shared 3 desserts - all were awesome. What more do you want for big German dinner!!

My favorite restaurant in Silicon Valley. Ester, Luis and Jose, along with the rest of the Adrestia staff are fantastic. The setting, wine program and food are always solid and well executed.
