Best Family Style Restaurants in Sunnyvale

Our food and service were better than previous visits to the Cupertino location. We had a few very mediocre visits in the past and I was reluctant to go back. We were pleasantly surprised and will definitely return.

Friday afternoon business lunch and it wasn't an encouraging start as the restaurant was almost empty with no life upon arrival. Our orders went in smoothly and the food came out in time. Everyone liked their meals as we all went with the lunch special - 3 items. There wasn't anything exceptional but the food was tasty, portion size was good and the server pleasant. Be aware that Open Table reservations may not work - I was told that the system didn't "talk" to the restaurant so I made a phone reservation as well. The review request came 3 days after dining later so I believe that there is a problem as this typically comes the next day. As a destination it appears to be a good place for a quiet lunch as the bustle that I've previously seen at PF Chang's seems to be missing here. It isn't real Chinese food but good for what it is and we were all satisfied.

Still a great place to have lunch. They're not afraid to use the herbs and spices necessary to prepare authentic greet dishes. The domades are the best around stuffed with oregano seasoned meat and rice. The chicken souvlaki was tender moist and delicious.

The Oxford Pub was the proverbially "needle in the haystack!" WHAT A FIND!!! My guest and I were fortunate to sit outside on a sunny afternoon and now that Murphy Street has been closed to traffic and turned into a pedestrian walkway, even made it more delightful! I was looking for something different and found it! More surprising was the twists in flavor, ingredients and presentation on common dishes such as fried calamari strips, beef stroganoff bowl and tri-tip sandwiches. Fresh, hot, tasty and to top it off a great selection of beers to accompany the food. I tried their "seasonal roundtable' and was served a bourbon-barrel stout that blew my mind and tastebuds! In short, if you are tired of the "same o - same-o" for menu items, I invite you to sample what is on The Oxford Pub's menu for a welcomed surprise!! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!

Great Italian food. Old school atmosphere. Great service. Lively location on Sunnyvale's historic Murphy St.
