Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
If you're looking for great dining in Santa Clara, start at Birk's. This stunning steakhouse has a chessboard floor and bright wood beam ceilings with a wrap-around bar in the center. Steaks are perfectly cooked, and every plate is a work of art.
Eureka! can only be described as industrial chic, with craft beers and "elevated" burgers. This hip dining venue is always lively and is one of the most popular locations in Santa Clara.
Amici’s Pizzeria is a local favorite serving NYC-style pizzas and classic pasta. The vibe is bright and welcoming, with both dine-in tables and, of course, a thriving takeout and delivery business. It's no wonder, with the flavor and toppings on these handmade pies.
For authentic Japanese cuisine, swing by Sumiya. Don't let the small space fool you. Grab a polished wood booth and let the food take you to a distant island across the Pacific Ocean. Sumiya is also right next to a personal favorite, Stan's Donut Shop. This unassuming little donut shop has rave reviews for a good reason: their donuts are delicious and bountiful, and the coffee is exceptional.
