Habana Cuba is amazing. Although I've only been here once, I'm going to go ahead and declare this one of my favorite restaurants. A friend of mine from Miami who claims to really know her Cuban food raved about this place being the best in the San Jose. Needless to say, she was dead-on. Off appetizers alone I was already full. The plate I ordered was the seafood cioppino. It came with all the goodies: clams, shrimp, lobster, and bass that literally just melts in your mouth. The plate came out pipping hot but was so good it didn't stop me from biting into it. Another recommendation would be my husband's dish, the lechon de la Cubana. Ever since I've gone I've been telling all my friends about my experience. Nice ambiance, huge portions on food, very attentive staff, I'd go back to Habana Cuba in a heartbeat.

I was there the night of blowfishblowme's alleged near death drama. I thought the resturaunt handled themselves rather professionally considering they had a wild cougar dancing on the table and acting crazy when they asked her to get down. Get off the juice! Blowfish is a great place to have fun.
Pros: Great food, music and normally people
Cons: Occasionally they throw out a drunk

This place is my new favorite restaurant. They have great food. Their Walnut Chicken Salad is my favorite. If you like a place that will fit everyone's taste, this is the place to go. Don't be put off by the long lines. They are very fast and you'll be sitting with your food before you know it. There's one in downtown Campbell as well, it's a little larger with more indoor seating but you can't beat the patio seating at the San Pedro Square location.
Pros: excellent food, fast service, free parking right next door after 6 pm and on weekends
Cons: long lines can be intimidating

The Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose is fun in every way- Even the building it is housed in is architecturally unique and painted purple!
This is a great place to take your kids and at the time I went , they even offered free admission to families in need on certain days.
The exhibits are all hands on- open things up, touch everything, make things, play with everything! You won't find anything behind a velvet cord here!

Had a blast here this past Friday night. Came with a birthday group for some appetizers and drinks. Average price and the food was much better than what I would have expected. Had the tuna tartare and mandalay wraps. Both pretty delicious. They had 3 DJ's that night a dinner guy who spun some lounge music and then as it got later the other 2 played more of the typical dance tunes. Great variety of music and I enjoyed the remixes. Really good looking diverse crowd. 5 star experience for me and my friends and we will definitely be back.
Pros: Good food, Great music, Awesome crowd
Cons: San Jose shuts down at 2am.

I'm not sure why some people rate the Falafel drive in low. I think people have misconseptions of what you might get. If your looking for easy parking... not the place, looking for 5 star waiter customer service... not the place.... it you are looking for comfortable seating in air conditioning... not the place. But those reasons are not why you should be going to Falafel Drive In. If you want a GREAT tasting, well priced and fast lunch.... its the place! I work in the area and there is always a long line but no biggie, they will have your order out to you in minutes. The people that come for lunch are interesting as well. You get everything from suits to shorts! Great place for lunch.
Pros: YUMMY food, fast service
Cons: parking

Great tour, knowledgeable guides. However, not sure about the"mystery" part! Seems to me that the true Sarah Winchester/Winchester House history/story is way more intriguing than all the "legends," "mystery," etc. etc.! Read the pamphlet (for sale in the Gift Shop) written by the people that knew her.
Hard to imagine how this lady spent her days and what her (seemingly very loyal) servants thought of her and having to make their way through this rabbit warren!
Food very pricey (bottle of water and bag of chips $5.45) but goes toward keeping the place up, so justified the price in my mind.
All in all, enjoyed the place very much....different...good day trip from SF. Went on a Thursday; July 19, 2007; not too crowded and easy parking. Worth the admission and while no pressing reason to go a second time, would absolutely take visitors and/or recommend tour to others. Also recommend the "Behind the Scenes" tour; not much more $$ for some additional interesting info.
Ask if anyone has figured out the Cupertino Street address (the plans on the wall in the basement ...I believe for the either the boiler or elevator...indicates the house is on Cupertino???? Our guide said she had never noticed that before and would check it out!
Pros: Great guides, good parking, super interesting
Cons: Pricey food

I've never been to a better BBQ than that! Not only was the food so good but the atmosphere was just as good! Even the ones who never smile that much were giggling and socializing and the event staff were very helpful and eager to go the extra mile. It was fabolous, Thanks guys!!
