San Jose: Best Restaurant

By William Holliday


Don't be fooled by pieces that promise to run down the list of the best restaurants in Silicon Valley. They all have hidden agendas and invariably, the restaurants they feature aren't worth the virtual pages they're printed on. If you're in San Jose the best restaurant will be the one that manages to satisfy you in every way.

I've found a full belly equals pure satisfaction. It's the freshness of the food, the atmosphere, the service, the intangibles. You can't just read about a restaurant and expect that it will deliver on every point. No, you just have to go and experience it for yourself. Of course, a well-written, well-considered review can help you decide on a place to eat, but it can't do the eating and enjoying for you.

If you're in town on business or for pleasure, you can rest assured you will be properly feted. The quiet beauty of San Jose and it's Silicon Valley is the fact that local businesses are geared towards pleasing business professionals. Much like the secondary businesses in Washington DC, the San Jose hotels and eateries have made satisfaction a science.

Don't waste your time trolling through online reviews or directories. You'll get nothing more than a strong of opinions. If someone is partial to spicy food and you're not, how seriously can you take their opinions of a place? This is the problem with such a subjective thing as the best restaurant.

The best San Jose has to offer may not be up to par with what you're used to enjoying. But, that said, it might well blow any place out of the water. The only way you will know definitively is to experience it for yourself.
