Straits Restaurant

5 stars all around! Love the vibe of the place and the service. The food is absolutely delicious if you love spicy food.

Straights is a poor attempt at a high end Asian fusion experience that's actually just 'so-so'. Nestled in Santana Row, this spot tries hard to impress but somehow falls short of the mark. The ambiance is sleek and modern, but it lacks the wow factor you'd expect from a high-end establishment. They function as a bar and restaurant with a ridiculously priced menu for drinks and food. The restrooms are also absolute trash, outdated, and look more like filthy club toilets. The doors barely lock and you would be lucky to find toilet roll. Lets talk about the food. It’s simply just ‘ok’, doesn't quite live up to the hype. While some dishes shine with bold flavors and innovative combinations, others fall flat, leaving you craving something more. On the bright side, Straits does offer a happy hour with select items at better prices. So if you are looking for cheap food deals and small bites go at happy hour. Overall, Straits is NOT a must-visit destination.

Starters are extremely overpriced and useless. We ordered samosa and felt tricked at what was served. It was the tiniest of the samosa I have seen in my life.

Great atmosphere, high-end decor and huge bar. I mostly recommend happy hour cos their normal pricing is not for everyone. Happy hour is excellent, the food tastes great and very affordable. Portion is good and price is right. For this restaurant at this location it's really really good. However I also checked out their normal hour pricing, it's certainly high-end. I only recommend it for parties or a fancy date. I'll be back and try the normal menu and update, it might tastes fantastic and be worth the price.

A bit expensive but great food.

Four of us stopped by for dinner here in Feb 23rd and encounters miserably slow and disorganized service! We took a table outside but the table was so unstable that we had to stuff complete silverware bundle under the table leg to stabilize it! Our waiter said he would bring something to fix the table but he never did! The service was astonishing disorganized! After the chicken skewers appetizers we had to wait 20 minutes for the rest of the meal which came in 4 different shift! They served one guest w the main course but not the rice ! 15 minutes later I got my rice but not the chicken dish! Bar service was also horrific with long delays after placing the drink order! Now I know why we keep going back to Yard House where despite being busy; they at least bring the food out at the same time! The food is tasty here but the service makes the experience unpleasant.
