From start to finish this place is spectacular. An awesome addition to downtown San Jose‘s dining scene. Locally owned and clearly organized and operating very well. Our waitress Cynthia was super helpful and gave us the guidance we needed as first time diners. Their menu was reasonably priced based on the final product. Steaks cooked perfectly, appetizers brought promptly, and a couple of fun surprises along the way. The four of us all enjoyed ourselves, and felt very comfortable relaxing in their dining room enjoying a meal with good company. I look forward to going back and trying other Menu items, the family style sharing was indeed a hit.

We love the vibe, food and our waitress Ady! All staff were nice and attentive especially Ady who is so friendly throughout our dining experience and she also takes great pictures for us. Food is delicious, beautifully plated, we love the Keep Calm Crab Benedict! Will definitely come back to try their other dishes and dinner menu. Decor in the restaurant is very zen with great music and also a nice bar - we didn’t try cocktail but they have a great menu! Thank you for lovely dining experience especially the macaroons to celebrate our friend’s birthday. Each of us also got one!!

The staff were great, cocktails were excellent. Loved the pita, the dips were interesting but not my favorite item, I'd definitely order hummus next time. The beets were awesome. The entrees were really tasty, the half chicken was delicious but as half chicken goes it was definitely on the small side, the branzino was a great entree.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brunch at Eos & Nyx was such a treat. Every dish felt thoughtful and well-balanced, and it’s clear the kitchen really cares about how flavors and textures come together. I started with the Deviled Eggs (smoked salmon, trout roe, allium) and they were a perfect opener. The filling was silky with a subtle smoky richness from the salmon, and the trout roe added these fun little pops of briny flavor. The fried onions brought just the right crunch to tie everything together. I had a mini drink adventure next. The server kindly brought me a sample of the Peanut Butter & Jelly Time, which truly tasted exactly like peanut butter and jelly (impressive, but a full glass might have been too much for me!). I ended up ordering Trix Aren’t For Kids (gin, trix, rice milk, ginger, passionfruit, cream, lemon, egg white) and it was fantastic—smooth, bright, slightly creamy, and surprisingly easy to drink. For my main I had the Stuffed French Toast (lemon mousse, billionaire’s bacon, infused maple, cinnamon, sugar). The toast itself was incredibly light and fluffy with just the right level of sweetness. The lemon mousse added a bright, creamy lift that balanced everything nicely. And the billionaire’s bacon created that perfect sweet-and-savory combo. The flavors were so good on their own that I barely needed the maple syrup. My only small critique: the butter pad was frozen rather than softened, so it didn’t spread or melt the way you’d hope on warm French toast. A tiny detail, but one that would elevate an already great dish. Service was friendly and attentive, and overall the meal felt worth the price (about $71 with a 25% tip). The only other note is that the music inside was pretty loud—great energy if you’re brunching with friends, but maybe a bit much if you’re hoping to quietly read while you eat like I was. Overall, another great experience at Eos & Nyx. Their dinners are already standout, and brunch definitely holds its own. I’d happily come back and order the e

Definitely fine dinning! Beautiful place but on the pricey side. If you like the menu you will not be disappointed in the food taste and quality. They gave out free appetizer to many tables and brought tea in between meals to cleanse your pallet. We enjoyed our dinner! They don’t mention a time limit but once you’re done with dinner/ dessert they definitely make it known they want you to leave. That was the only thing that disappointed me.

Pretty cool spot we found on my husbands birthday. We couldnt get in because we don't male reservations the night before but they ended up having a bar upstairs that wasnt open yet and allowed us to head up a few minutes early. Such a unique restaurant, vibrant colors, seems like a hopping place. Food was great! They do these little bites in between almost similar to a Michelin style restaurant to cleanse your palate and what not. Over all a great experience. Server was helpful in explaining things. Although we would have loved to see the revolving wall behind the bar for we didnt get to. Thats what made us want to check this place out initially.

Incredible service. Staff were so friendly and attentive. Constantly refilling our waters and asking if we want another round of cocktails when we're almost done. Food was great. Seasonal. I spoke with our waitress and she said they draw inspiration from their owners. V they have different ethnic owners and each bring something unique to the menu. It's not a large menu so they do everything quite well. We were there for Sunday brunch and there was a live DJ playing some 90s-2000s jams. Overall great place.

We came here to celebrate my friend’s birthday. The food was great, and we were lucky enough to try one of their newer menu items. I can’t remember the exact name, but we especially enjoyed the Hawaiian ribs!

One of San Jose‘s newest hottest restaurants. This beautifully design architectural building is located in the heart of downtown San Jose across from accessible parking garage. A great place to celebrate special occasions, impress family or guest visiting SJ or date night. The food was spectacular and well presented, drinks were on point and refreshing. It’s not a cheap place but, it gives those who’re doing well in life a fine dining experience. RESERVATIONS ONLY MADE THROUGH OPEN TABLE ONLINE. THEY DO NOT PICK UP PHONE CALLS!

I had a wonderful experience here for a Valentine’s Day plated dinner. At $150 per person for the all-inclusive meal, I felt it was truly worth the price for the quality and service provided in the Bay Area. I also opted for the $75 wine pairing, which I found to be very much worth the additional cost. The team was incredibly helpful before I even arrived. I reached out regarding Halal and vegetarian needs for my partner, and they were very responsive. While they couldn't offer Halal-certified meat, they provided an early preview of the menu so we could see the extensive vegetarian and pescatarian options available. This level of communication made us feel very welcome and accommodated. They even brought out a signed card for us as we were celebrating our anniversary as well. The restaurant itself is a beautiful, intimate space. It has low lighting and a "garden" feel inside with trees and greenery that make it feel very special. I really appreciated the layout; there is a clear separation between the bar area and the actual dining tables, so it doesn’t feel like everything is just thrown together in one room. Even the bathrooms were really nice and well-maintained. The cuisine is a California-Mediterranean fusion. You can really taste those influences in the flavors and the way the meals are prepared. For our entrees, we chose the lamb chops and the branzino, which were easily the highlights of the menu for us. Between the thoughtful service, the atmosphere, and the excellent wine pairings, Eos & Nyx is a gem. Whether it's for a special occasion like Valentine's Day or just a nice dinner out, I highly recommend it.
