unique spot – the vegetables are great & fresh, love the sea bass packet :) and garlic noodles. the pepper crab was too salty. service was slow, we waited almost 50 mins. for a party of 6. that ambience is great, nice place to unwind or to get a drink before a night on the town
The third time's all charm for this growing empire of captivating Singaporean restaurants. – The Scene It's a sleeker, more sophisticated space than the first two outposts of this beloved Bay Area mini-chain. Befitting its Santana Row locale, the glamorous space is all glitz--sleek Balinese furniture and antique gongs are juxtaposed with industrial stainless steel and lots of hard surfaces. The crowd is suitably posh, multicultural and youthful. The Food Back in 1987, the first Straits Cafe introduced San Franciscans to cuis... read more
Disappointing – Really, there is zero bang for buck. There is utter confusion at the hostess desk, no one has a clue about wait time. We were told on the phone, that usually walk-ins are seated in 20 mins ...longest 20 mins of our lives ! All dishes and drinks arrive out of order, and your waiter disappears only to show up rarely. Our Pratha was half-cooked, and crab cakes were lousy (most expensive all the things we ate, but utterly disappointing). I really doubt we would subject ourselves to this place again.
Not Impressed – I have tried this place twice. The food is really good but overpriced for the small amount you get. The service is pretty bad. Went once on my friend's bday. Drinks took a really long time and when they finally did arrive, the server spilled two whole drinks all over her lap. Second time we went, the bartender was really slow. We waited well over 5 minutes to pay in a near empty bar so we could go to our table. The server was okay, but drinks again took a long time. The busser never brought us water refills u... read more
The Beautiful People – It seems to me that everyone who is anyone is going to Straits. Its a place that is totally unexpected of San Jose. The food is really great, there are always beautiful people everywhere, the staff is extremely friendly. Great place to meet people and have a great time.
As good as it gets – I went on a Monday night with a party of 6 adults & 2 kids. We had no waiting for a convenient table outside where the antics of my little grandchildren caused no problems. We ate a variety of small and large dishes--each a winner in terms of taste, presentation and variety. All 18 dishes shared exotic blends of flavors and textures. Each was a winner by itself but fit in well with the others. Service was prompt but not over-bearing.
Escape From San Jose!!! – Finally a unique dining experience without the drive to S.F. SEATING: Hosts were very nice. DRINKS: Shark Martini (this cool blue concoction) is my fav. FOOD: Definitely not a good steak place but if you like fresh seafood you'll be in heaven. Perhaps just one steak on the menu for the carnivores would be nice. If you go try the Roti naan bread and the cold seafood platter. SERVICE: The restaurant is always so busy but not once out of three visits has my service been anything less then great.

Sad Straits – The decor is fabulous! Attractive tableware. The food is good but nothing to flip over. The service is definelty something that needs major improvement. I received my food before my cocktail. Perhaps they should have just been a home accessoires store than a restaurant?
Nice & Yummy – The food was pretty tasty and delicious. I definitely would suggest the black pepper crab ($28); it was worth every penny. The oysters were a bit small, but the dipping sauces were good. Our waiter was attentive and helpful. The place has a pleasant & romantic atmosphere. Recommend making reservations first especially on weekends.
