Our table of four shared a Porterhouse, Ribeye and New York Strip. Each steak was prepared to perfection, medium-rare, as we had requested. The sides were brussel sprouts, mac 'n cheese and mashed potatoes. We were celebrating our daughter just having acquired a "starter" townhome in San Jose and the staff did a great job of putting us into a celebratory mood. From beginning the evening with a complimentary splash of champagne to finishing it with a special dessert, and even cotton candy! Alexander's and our gracious server, Amelie made it a tasty and memorable night out for all of us.

Quiet, small, and intimate spot for GREAT sushi and omakase dinner (especially with the optional uni tasting). We’ve been to a good number of places like this in the Bay Area, but this will be a new regular spot for us. Fish was super fresh and simple preparation of the sushi made the taste that much better! Highly recommend you try this place if you like this style of food!
