- KKathyGoldSan Francisco Bay Area •23 reviews4.0Dined on 27 Oct 2026First, the beef tallow fries are delicious! I also had the pesto chicken sandwich and my sister had the burger with the side salad and everything was very good. We received the fries well ahead of our entrées which we would have preferred together.  Service was a bit slow, nothing to really complain about and everyone was very nice.More infoThe Farmers Union$$$$• Contemporary American• San Jose•4.3

- TSToniannSSan Francisco Bay Area •7 reviews5.0Dined on 24 Feb 2024We enjoyed a pre-opera dinner on Friday night. It was very quiet which allowed for pleasant conversation. The assortment of bar bites and appetizers was extensive and satisfying. We selected the sliders, potstickers and calamari. They were ample enough to satisfy three diners. We also ordered the rice dish with Chinese sausage which was very tasty. The waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive. We were very pleased and will return.More infoMosaic Restaurant and Ultra Lounge - San Jose$$$$• Contemporary Asian• San Jose•4.1
