Shirley Liu: Great fruit tart and outdoor people watching seats
Ana: A lot of people like the banana hot chocolate, but be warned: It's super sweet! I come here for the people watching and cute european tables.
Joan: Banana hot chocolate (even get it iced), coffee macaroons and a whole lotta different desserts! Even their salmon or lox croissant sandwich is SO good!
Ashley Morris: It's a little pricey, but the atmosphere (outside) is great and it's right in the middle of Santana Row, which is great if you love people watching. Good cheese plates too!
Andrea Lee: Great happy hour menu between 3 and 6. Also, their burger, though not on the happy hour menu, is REALLY good. They also offer a three course menu, which is a very good deal. Make sure you are hungry!
Lexi Loveday: Great wine selection, unfortunately the [table] service leaves much to be desired in terms of promptness...or any real sense of urgency.

Kim Dao: I love the HH here, it's a great people watching place in the summer, and in the winter, the martinis cannot be beat. If you are being served, by Jessie - then you're all set!
Darrell March: Still the best place to be during happy hour. Try the Blue Cheese Fries and Kobe Sliders with a Stella.
Bill Boston: The happy hour food deals are great. The mac and cheese is outstanding.
