Restaurants near San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art

Our Nepalese waiter was outstanding. So conversive and kind and great service.

Service and Food were excellent. Bar well stocked and made great drinks. Our group wasn't rushed and pacing of appetizers and meal were great. Definitely will make this one of my favorite places to dine and meet with friends.

Great ambiance, amazing food. Evening as much better but just over all an amazing place!

Everything we had was delicious and our server was fantastic

This is a unique, incredibly quirky restaurant. The food is good. The service is good. (You order at the bar and they bring it out in a timely fashion.) But the real key is the player pianos and other mechanical, self-playing instruments. The place is kind of a museum of 1920s punched-paper technology. Every once in a while, the instrument beside you will start to play, and you won't be able to talk for a while. If this sounds fun for you (it was for us!) then this is your place. As for the food, I had the sea bass, which was amazing. My wife had the beef bourguignon, which she really liked. There are vegetarian options, but they're in a cream sauce so not vegan. We split an order of profiteroles, which were also very good. The wine list was fine. Corkage is $20, from what I read. Basically, I've never been to a restaurant like this, and I'm not sure there ARE other restaurants like this. If this sounds remotely interesting, try it out!
