Special 12-day dining event at many San Jose restaurants starts today

From June 20-July 1, many San Jose restaurants are participating in “Dine Downtown San Jose.” Diners can choose from three-course prix-fixe meals that range from $20-70 (plus tax and tip).

For example, choose the $20 menu at Myth and enjoy dishes such as Greek meatballs (first course), slow-roasted lamb shank (second course), and flourless chocolate torte (dessert). There are other selections as well. Or spend $30 at Gordon Biersch and select a three-course meal with choices such as shrimp & chicken potstickers, Tuscan chicken pasta, and strawberry cheesecake. For $40, try Morton’s selections like baked five-onion soup, 6 oz. filet mignon with broccoli hollandaise or horseradish mashed potatoes, and crème brulee.

See the special event’s web site for more details, full menus, and chef profiles. Bon appetit!
