Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in San Jose

My husband and I were there on a Thursday evening and with the impending rain and early hour we were dining, the restaurant was on the quiet side. The gentleman who served us was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. The food was beautifully prepared, inventive, and tasted good. I had their famous apple dessert which is something you'd see winning Star Baker on The British Bakeoff. The food is on the pricey side considering the portion size, but this is definitely a high quality place. My only other suggestion would be that they turn up the heat slightly as it was on the chilly side. Recommend for a special occasion.

Get the polenta. It’s very good. And the presentation was unexpected.

The overall experience was great! Wonderful food, excellent service and a very intimate atmosphere! We sat at the counter, with gave us full access to he kitchen theater.

Wow! This place is like stepping into a 3-star Michelin restaurant—every detail is perfection. The ambiance is elevated by live music, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The menu is a masterpiece, constantly evolving to surprise and delight. And the wine? Absolutely exceptional. My wife and I have experienced wine pairings and flights all over the Bay Area, and this is hands-down the best. And that’s saying something, considering we’re members of over ten wineries! The staff goes above and beyond, making every visit feel special. We’ve been here more than a dozen times, and each experience surpasses the last. Truly a gem—live music, incredible food, and impeccable service. A must-visit!

Our server Mustafa was great!, the food came fast and overall we really enjoyed our evening
