Santana Row July-September 2015 News and Events

Check out what's going on this summer at Santana Row. The big item for me is the launch of three new dining options!


San Jose, CA  - Experience outdoor dining at three new spots, challenge yourself with free Saturday yoga classes and get your microbrew education during the annual beer walk at Santana Row.

Terrace at Hotel Valencia and Lark Creek Kitchen welcome guests to relax and enjoy drinks and eats in airy surroundings. Or, have an impromptu picnic by grabbing a gourmet banh mi, the iconic Vietnamese sandwich, from the Three Seasons cart near Park Valencia.

Free yoga classes in the sunshine are offered every Saturday—a perfect way to practice poses in preparation for Yoga on the Row, the big yoga event slated for September. The annual beer walk offers beer tastings with a side of shopping while strolling Santana Row.
New Dining on The Row!
Terrace at Hotel Valencia, Three Seasons banh mi cart and Lark Creek Kitchen
All Open

Three new dining venues are enticing hungry Santana Row visitors this summer:

Terrace at Hotel Valencia invites you to relax al fresco under a glass canopy while enjoying your favorite wine, whiskey or cocktail and small plates, created for sharing. Menu items include a spicy shellfish cocktail of Alaskan king crab, tiger shrimp and Maine lobster, Kobe beef sliders and local artisanal cheeses. Terrace is located in the outdoor courtyard area, across from the reception desk of the hotel.

Lark Creek Kitchen is bringing new flavors and keeping a few tried-and-true favorites from its former Lark Creek Blue menu. The restaurant/bar offers seasonal farm-to-fork dining, carefully selected wines and expertly crafted cocktails.

Three Seasons banh mi cart gives diners a quick and easy option to grab a gourmet sandwich on the run or enjoy it in the park nearby. They are made fresh daily at Three Seasons, a fine dining restaurant in Palo Alto, and served warmed with each order. Selections include a sandwich called “Street Food,” piled with grilled pork, chicken and pork pate, mayo, cucumber, cilantro, pickles, Maggi soy sauce and jalapeno.
