Fanny & Alexander

Since the day this place opened. It has been a delight. Definitely on the list of some of the best happy hour in downtown San Jose. Consistency is king and with this spot consistency is on point. Everything from the sticky ribs to their warm burrata cheese, the food is great. I understand there. Chef is very talented and is indeed keeping the bar high. Happy hour drinks are a good deal, and if you get there early enough, you can find a seat at the bar or outside on the covered patio. I’m glad they’ve survived and are still doing great things.

Came here on a Sunday and thought that it was not only a spacious open and welcoming place but had amazing options. Taking Mexican dishes and giving them an American twist with the same elevated flavors. Ordered the morning pizza and the chilaquiles with Mole sauce and it was delicious. My friend and I shared both dishes, that are large and very reasonably priced. Definitely enjoyed the ambiance, reasonably price and portions sizes. Will definitely recommend to a friend. Also a champagne bottle for $30 is not a bad deal whatsoever, left toasty and full.

I had kind of low expectations about this place, it just seems like a good happy hour location near lots of office buildings. There is some really good food here. The mussels dish is absolutely perfect and if you like bread, that is enough for a meal for two. The brussels sprouts with bacon are also fantastic. The pizza is so-so (much better than Papa John's or whatever). Harissa shrimp are good, maybe overcooked to too dry. The pork belly is also delicious, perhaps just a bit overdone. I would go back here and try other things in an instant, service is really good even outside.

Limited menu but still great food. Nice hostess and the manager Bebes is just the best. Really enjoyed my dinner with my husband. The truffle popcorn was super tasty. Brussels sprouts were delish... oh and the bread they served were buttery, warm and soft on the inside. Yum. It’s nice to be able to enjoy a nice atmosphere during Covid times...

The restaurant has the fun “Build your own Mimosa”, always good to have a bottle with orange or grape fruit juice. Ribs are delicious with great texture of sweet and sour flavor. It’s well cooked and soft, and juice too. $14 for 6 pieces and $20 for a dozen. Very good for sharing. Salmon Benedict is quite big plate also good for sharing. Outside patio has lots of seats and space. Summer hanging out with music and fresh air would be a good option
