    In town for a conference with a colleague. Went here for dinner. The ambiance is that of a pub or bar but the food and drinks are a match for most fine dining restaurants. We started with the street corn and seared ceaser salad. Both were amazing. Portions are large so great for sharing. We followed that up with the grilled salmon special with fresh vegetables. All were perfectly cooked and very tasty. Don't want to forget the drinks. I had a smoky mezcal drink that was sooo good I had two. I don't recall what my colleague had but she was also very pleased. The staff were also very personable and checked in on us appropriately and chatted with us as we waited for our Uber. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in San Jose.

    While the value and service were good, our food was just okay. Steaks were lacking flavor and 2 of 3 were over cooked. Roasted potatoes were soggy but tasted good. Zucchini was under cooked. Had high hopes but can’t recommend.

    Really enjoyed the food and the ambience was nice. Had the calamari with added fried jalapeños. For main dish, the salmon special. Not from the area, but would go back when in town.

    Enjoyed the food and service. Finding the place was challenging, location is in a pedestrian zone so driving up to the entrance is not available.
