Menu, Food, & Service outstanding. Not a place for romantic ambience - a bit loud and lighting on the bright side. A lack of a sophisticated feel was disappointing for a special evening dinner out - common to see patrons dressing sloppily in denim and running shoes.

EOS & NYX is the new restaurant in downtown San Jose. Been open 1 month and we went last night and they delivered on all fronts. The decor, the service, the food and cocktails. A beautiful two story architectural stunner. Bars on the 1st and 2nd floor. Main dining is on 1 with smaller tables on 2. Every person working that we came in contact with was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and all around pleasant. Ordered meatballs, roasted chicken and pasta. Very creative cocktails. Our check was delivered in a bonsai with a few sweet treats. So happy we have this place in DTSJ. It was very busy so make a reservation. Also great for big groups.
