Eureka! Set to Open in Santa Clara Square Marketplace

Eureka! is set to be the newest tenant at Santa Clara Square Marketplace, opening on Monday, July 12.

We’ve dined at the Eureka! locations in Cupertino and Mountain View and have thoroughly enjoyed our experiences at both places thanks to the consistently great service, tasty dishes and the excellent variety of drink options.

And Santa Clara Square Marketplace is very familiar to us as Fleming’s, Il Fornaio and the Barebottle Taproom are frequent destination points for us.

Now we can add Eureka! to the list.

Below are some additional details about Eureka! and the new Santa Clara location, in part from a recent press release:

Eureka! Santa Clara’s expansive restaurant seats 177 guests within a Californian modern design atmosphere nearing 4,500+ square feet in total. The restaurant features a modern lounge area, a weatherized patio with an outdoor fire pit table for guests that like to dine al fresco and a spacious interior with a burrowing owl mural by artist Nichole Blackburn. The center-focus of the dining room is the indoor/outdoor bar top which carries the lively atmosphere throughout the entire space.

Located at 2762 Augustine Drive, restaurant hours are Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to midnight.

Daily ‘hoppy’ hours are from 2pm to 6pm and 9pm to close.

And weekly events include half-off wine on Tuesdays, ‘Steal the Glass’ on Wednesdays,  live music on Thursdays and $6 Bloody Marys and Mimosas on the weekends.

Eureka! specializes in American classics with a modern twist with its diverse selection of appetizers, all natural, carrot-fed Angus beef burgers from Santa Carota, signature plates, innovative salads and delectable desserts.

Menu highlights include:

• Mac N’ Cheese Balls made with a scratch-made beer cheese sauce and Fresno chiles
• Bone Marrow Burger featuring bone marrow shiitake butter, grilled onion, horseradish mustard aioli and roasted Roma tomato
• Fresno Fig Burger topped with fig marmalade, melted goat cheese, bacon, tomato, red onion, arugula and spicy porter mustard
• Bourbon Barrel Cake finished with pecans, caramel, and paired with vanilla bean ice cream

The beverage program at Eureka! revolves around the restaurant’s commitment to serving all-American, sought-after premium products.

Eureka! offers 18 craft beers on tap including the best local breweries: Russian River Brewing Co., Laughing Monk Brewing, Barebottle Brewing Co., HenHouse Brewing Co., Original Pattern Brewing Co. and more.

The signature cocktail program includes favorites:

• Wild Child with vodka, watermelon, mint, lemon, aloe, rosé and habanero salt
• Tipsy Pig Old Fashioned with bacon-infused Whiskey Pig 10 Yr. Rye, bitters and barrel-aged maple syrup
• The Headhunter King, a tiki cocktail featuring Jamaican rum, macadamia nut, lime, pineapple, orgeat and falernum

Additionally, there are 40+ small batch whiskeys and a special off-menu selection featuring various hard-to-get and strictly allocated whiskeys, like Pappy Van Winkle and offerings from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection.

Founder Paul Frederick shares: “We build our restaurants always keeping in mind our values; Energy, Discovery, and Community. We strive to create an energetic environment, where guests can discover their new favorite style of burger or unique small-batch whiskey, while supporting the local community through our beverage program featuring the best breweries, distilleries, and wineries in California. Our goal is to be the ultimate dining destination for all, from the beer geeks, to the local professionals, and to the families looking for an all encompassing dining experience.”
