With accolades such as "flawless" and "unforgettable" describing this "creative and modern" "standard for fine French in the South Bay", it should come as no surprise that San Jose gourmets "go here to impress"; chef Scott Cooper's food is "exceptional", "the tasting menu is a tour de force", service is "unparalleled" ("low-key yet prompt") and the wine cellar is "excellent", causing converts to sigh "I just wish I lived closer." This "superlative" San Jose
"butterfly" is "cocooned in a uninspiring nest of streets", but it emerges on
the strength of chef Scott Cooper's "original" and "sublime" New French tasting
menus, an "excellent wine cellar".
