Another Year Older, Another Reason to Feast! Celebrated my birthday with the besties at EOS & NYX -- a still-somewhat-new gem in downtown San Jose serving up modern Mediterranean cuisine with flair. The space? Modern, spacious, and seriously stunning -- think champagne dreams and a rotating elevator of bottles behind the bar (yes, really). Unique, chic, and totally birthday-worthy. We were a party of 7, and here's what we devoured: Starters & Mains Beets, multiple ways - could've used more beets, honestly Crudo of seafood - citrusy, light, and delightful Tagliatelle Lobster - rich, creamy, and super filling Flatbread with local garniture & truffles - a table favorite Branzino - perfectly cooked and packed with flavor Bone-in pork chop - incredibly tender and juicy Brussels sprouts - honey-drizzled goodness Side of fries - because... balance Desserts Lemon pie - tangy and refreshing Budino - the standout among the sweets Beignets - fluffy little bites of joy Great food, amazing ambiance, and even better company. It was hands down the best birthday dinner I could have asked for!

It wasn’t a busy night, so the waiter was very nice and split our check 6 ways. Normally they do 3 checks per table he said. Good food, very nice wine selections!

Our meals were delicious. We ordered the seafood sauté, lobster bisque, and steamed clams. The food was flavorful and a simple delight. The service was superb.

Great place to eat before a show at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts. Walking distance. Good brunch menu and courteous staff. Excellent bar area

Food was excellent. The mole negra was rich and luscious. Take a step outside the box. I highly recommend trying the crickets. High in protein salty and smoky. Jalapeño margaritas had a nice amount of heat. Definitely recommend.
