    I had the 6 course tasting menu- this dining experience did not disappoint! The dishes are highly creative and bold, mixing an array of flavors which combine to create a sensational experience in the palate. All dishes have a theme and are cooked with locally sourced ingredients. The place is small and cute with a bohemian vibe, located in the quiet neighborhood of Aranjuez. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in San Jose!

    My dining experience at Amana was truly exceptional! I had the Chef Table experience where you get a 5 course dinner with optional wine pairing. All items received are not available in the menu so every plate was a surprise with a perfect combination of flavors and textures. This goes in hand with the culinary concept of Amana which combines local ingredients with techniques from around the world giving each plate a unique flavor. The service is exceptional in addition to allowing interactions with the chef. I will definitely be going back to try their menu items!
