Dinner for Two at Chez TJ Restaurant

Located in a romantic Victorian in Mountain View, Chez TJ is one of the Bay Area's premiere restaurants and the winner of one star in its first appearance in the Michelin Guide in 2009! This was the highest honor the restaurant could be awarded in its first year. Under new executive chef, Scott Nishiyama, formerly of Yoshi's and the French Laundry, Chez TJ continues to win rave reviews, such as this recent one from the SJ Mercury News: "The chef coaxes such extraordinary flavor out of familiar ingredients - lime, tarragon, curry powder, beets - I felt as if I were experiencing them for the first time. Scott Nishiyama is a brilliant chef, and he's only just begun to shine." (March 21, 2010)
