Eos & Nyx - San Jose (CA)

5 /5 Carl Foisy: 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.

5 /5 Jessy Chan: 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!!

4 /5 Jenny Xu: Came here with my boyfriend and it was so cute for a morning brunch date! Good: - The place was really beautifully decorated and looked like the inside of a treehouse with a lot of wooden aesthetic - The food was also very well plated, we had the yogurt parfait and it was so cute - The loco moco dish was also very hearty and good - The caviar cone was so good but super tiny - The lox toast was really good and crunchy too! Very filling Bad: - The place is more expensive so youll be paying more overall for your food - Service can be a bit slower since it gets busier Overall this experience was good for a morning brunch date! Had a great time

1 /5 Joann R: Ambiance: lively, fun, great atmosphere Service: Reservation was at 1900, seated at 1902. I informed our server, Cris, of my food allergies- chilis of any sort, oranges, grapefruit, tomatoes. We ordered drinks at 1915. Cris, seemed knowledgeable with his drinks and drink pairings. We then ordered our appetizers and entrees at 1920. We ordered both since Cris said it was a busy night so it would work out better if we do so. Waited, waited, waited…. Still no food or drinks at 2000. Cris told us twice that are food would be coming up during that time. At about 2005 we get our drinks. There were four of us ladies, two celebrating birthdays. There was only one server on the mezzanine, a one bartender at the bar. At around 2020, we received our appetizers. We were surprised because at the point of an hour, and all we get is our appetizers?? While we were waiting the chef sends over a mini ice cream looking appetizer, and after our appetizers our server gave us some pb&j shots. Cris explained that he was sorry for the wait but it was because of all the allergies. Soon after our appetizers, we got our entrees. Yay. The pastas came out first. Then the steak. Initially we wanted the lamb but it could not be adjusted to my allergies so the steak was recommended. They would alter the sauce and the vegetables for my allergies. I took a bite of the steak and it tasted good. But on the second bite I noticed heat. I looked closer at the dish, and there were red dots in the sauce. I asked Cris if this was chili flakes? He took the dish and went to the chef. Shortly after, I was in immense stomach pain (I have chronic gastritis so certain foods inflame and burn my stomach lining). My stomach started to swell, and I was lying my head on the table. I gave Cris a moment, but due to the immense pain my friends suggested I go. One of them walked me to my car. After I left, they remade the dish and comped the dish. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to try it. This was 11/19, I reached out to Eos and Nyx via phone, website and chat on 11/21 with no response as of the date of this review. I ended up calling out sick and I’m still in pain. I also am unable to tolerate eating foods that are not bland and basic. Food: food was decent. I had their version of a lychee martini but it did not taste like lychee at all. The pb&j shot was delicious. The tagliatelle was great! Gnocchi was not bad, but I am not a fan of gnocchi in general. Bruschetta was great. Beet appetizer left much to be desired. Overall: how can you tell me that the reason our food took so long was because of allergies, but still poison me with chili?? I wouldn’t go back because the turnaround time for food was slow.

5 /5 JM: I’ve been here twice this past year—once for dinner and once for weekend brunch—and both experiences were amazing. For dinner, expect to pay a pretty penny; dinner and drinks for two came to about $360 with tip. Brunch, on the other hand, was super reasonable considering all the offerings—we spent around $50 per person including food, drinks, and tip. The food was incredibly flavorful and filling, with beautiful and unique presentation. The atmosphere was absolutely stunning and both times our servers were amazing—attentive, friendly and professional. I’d give a 9.8 out of 10, with the only deduction being that the hosts were a bit snobby both times.
