- JJennifer2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWith reservations, we waited less than 5 minutes. We were lucky to get Monalisa as our waitress as she was amazingly fast and helpful, and our Chef Luis was so fun and was joking around with everyone at the table, but especially with my son. It was a great experience that was significantly different than our experience on Valentines Day. This was a huge turn around from that and it was such a much nicer time. This was definitely the kind of experience we hope we will always get every visit.More infoBenihana - Cupertino, CAPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Cupertino•3.9

- SSarahSan Francisco Bay Area •14 reviews5.0Dined on Mar 1, 2025We had the 4-course tasting menu, and it was fantastic! The meal left us full and satisfied. The cocktails—Project G, Cosmopolitan, and Calm Seas—were phenomenal, with smooth textures, great mouthfeel, and complex flavors. The service was exceptional and truly elevated the experience! We enjoyed the Kona Kanpachi Crudo, Lobster Ravioli with Black Truffle, Basque Cheesecake, and Paris-Brest. Already looking forward to our next visit to The Plumed Horse!More infoThe Plumed HorsePrice: Very Expensive• Californian• Saratoga•4.5
