One of the best meals I had in San Jose!! My friend and I had no idea they had chicken and waffles so we nearly screamed when we saw that on the menu! Got that and the chilaquiles to share and everything was amazing. I had The Club Espresso Martini which was exquisiteeee. Service was A++++. Their computer was down that morning and it seemed like they were a little stressed but honestly they kept everything running so smoothly we wouldn't have even known if we hadn't been sitting at the bar right by the computer. Gotta come back and try everything else on the menu haha One of the best dinners you’ll have in Downtown San Jose. This cozy gem, owned by a passionate couple, radiates warmth and care in every detail. You can truly feel the heart they’ve poured into the place. From cocktails and appetizers to entrées and desserts — everything was a perfect 10/10. The steak and salmon, in particular, were outstanding. Highly recommend ive eaten here for dinner and now for breakfast🍳. i love both of them, maybe breakfast a lil more. i do like the🍹 cocktails🍸 for dinner a lot more though AnothA good spot to keep in the breakfast rotation with bills cafe☕. reminds me of bills but on the upscale side. location is cool but the sidewalk on the corner is disgusting🤮... need to power wash that, had to take my shoes off b4 going back inside our home after. love everything else. eat outside on a beautiful day if u like, greeat shade with the big umbrellas⛱️. tight spot inside but worth the visit!! the shrimp 🍤 and grits is so delicious love the calamari🦑 had to do the hummus and ita house made and phenomenal the braised brisket🍖 was super soft with the carrots🥕 try the bartenders choice for drinks... u wont regret it... but live life on the edge ... take a chance even if it was wrong the breakfast: Chilaquiles is a hit!!! get the French Toast - anotha must! 🧇waffle n 🍗chicken🐣 was mid - chicken was a tad on the dull side - flavor could be more seasoned the get that sweet and savory recipe. but the waffle was good in my opinion.

Fantastic, low-key spot! Everything about this restaurant was great, from the relaxed feel inside to the perfectly crafted cocktails and savory plates. I had the braised short rib on a bed of creamy parsnip purée that was just amazing. It paired well with their mezcal cocktail. Would definitely recommend.

The Club is a great restaurant in downtown San Jose. It’s cozy inside but the vibe is great. This was our second time there and both were amazing. All of the food is plated Beautifully. The Chicken and Waffles are great. Crunchy chicken an a nice fluffy waffle. The Horchatta French toast is a basically a dessert but it’s so good. Their burger is great choice as well. The staff has been great to us so far. Glad we found this place. Now we have another great place to eat downtown!
