The team behind DTSJ favorites - Paper Plane, MINIBOSS, Still O.G. and Alter Ego - elevates the local scene once again with Eos & Nyx, a dual level indoor/outdoor dining experience serving Mediterranean flavors with modern twists.
Drawing inspiration from the Greek deities of dawn and night, this venue provides a culinary journey that transforms as the day unfolds. Guests will savor an array of mezzes, indulgent brunch offerings and grilled seafood and meats, all prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The bar program features inventive craft cocktails, wines and spirits, showcased against a striking double-height, rotating liquor display that spans both levels of the restaurant. The custom design elements create a captivating atmosphere - by day, the space is vibrant and energetic; by night, it transforms into an urban oasis with intimate accent lighting. Eos & Nyx artfully blend the concepts of day and night, presenting a one-of-a-kind elegant, memorable dining experience.

The ambience is so so nice!! It’s nice to have a place like this downtown. It’s perfect for a date night or a nice dinner with friends! The NY strip steak and brussel sprouts were amazing! The tagliatelle was good, but was lacking. I’d definitely opt for a different dish instead. I will be coming back though! Overall, I love this spot!

Ron was great, thorough and recommended the best items on the menu in order to make the ordering experience a bit simpler. The service from our waitress was excellent and we had plenty of folks checking on us and sharing interesting bits of information about the chef, the offerings, and upcoming events. Food was exceptional and came with plenty of free tastings that were a nice surprise. Will definitely be returning.

We had a decent experience. The wait staff was totally on top of things. The food was well done and good. The interior was very well done and attractive. The downside for our party of three was the noise level. Good conversation was nearly impossible.

Was so excited to try out finally. The service and ambiance were great. I was disappointed in the tagliatelle dish. It was essentially bland buttered noodles dressed up with lobster and caviar. While the pasta was nicely done, the overall flavor was lacking. The rigatoni dish was an explosion of flavor in your mouth. That was delightful. The other unfortunate thing was our cocktail and beer that we ordered didn’t come until we were almost done with our dishes. Overall, they might have some kinks to work out and I enjoyed it enough to give it another go, however, I’m not about to run over there tomorrow.

Had our anniversary dinner here and we had a great night. The attention to detail was awesome. We really enjoyed the happy anniversary card signed by the staff as well as the personalized dessert. Food and drinks were great. Staff was super attentive and helpful. Definitely recommend for special occasions.

I am so excited for Downtown San Jose after dining at Eos & Nyx. This restaurant is top notch and I cannot wait to go back. It is in the old moving theatre building and it just gave the whole corner new life! The decor is warm and inviting while also being contemporary. The service was amazing. We never had a dirty plate or napkin on our table for more than five minutes. The food? The food is the best I've had in the South Bay since Alexanders in Cupertino 15 years ago. My husband had the NY Strip and I had the pork chop. Both were 5 stars. Their cocktails were the best we've had in a while as well. The couple next to us ordered a pasta dish and a side of their mushrooms and cleaned their plates as well. The amuse bouche, pallet cleanser and dessert samples were a delightful surprise. The only slight negative was how loud it is inside. I love having music but it made it hard to hear the servers. Maybe turn it down a notch. We are already planning when we can go back!

Finally a restaurant in downtown San Jose worth writing home about! Hip ambience with excellent creative cocktails, interesting wine list, and very good food. Main entrees presentation was a little underwhelming, but this is just constructive criticism for continued improvements. Hope you keep it up!
