I'm incredibly torn writing this review because I see its potential. Service, vibe, decor were all there. The menu has so much potential, but can use some work. We got: -the trio dip (all 3 dips were perfect but the bread was hard and overcooked it made it hard to appreciate the dips) -octopus (needs a citrus note, but no notes otherwise) -bone in pork chop (taste was there, but very dry) -patatas (crispy potatoes, perfectly cooked but was way too salty to taste) This place has so much potential and hope they quality check their dishes because this place can definitely be a hit. Unfortunately, each dish had something that took away for us and we ended up not being able to enjoy the dinner.
Went to Eos and Nyx in a Wednesday for my husband's birthday. The place has been done up to give a modern, almost industrial but cozy feeling with warm lighting and plants all around. The kitchen is open and you can appreciate the chefs working on their open wood fired grills and pizza ovens, which imparts a faint, woody, aromatic fragrance in the restaurant. The staff is polite and courteous. They left a signed note on the table for my husband's birthday which was a sweet gesture. For the drinks, we started with the jean claude pandan, pandan being my husband's current favorite ingredient in food and drinks. I had the drink with dill, which the server warned me about being centered around the flavor of pickles (which I am personally fond of). The pandan drink was light and refreshing highball and I found the dill cocktail to be creamy and delicious, but didn't really leave me with a sour aftertaste. For food, we went with the drip trio platter which came with fresh pita bread pieces, and the drip trio of hummus with roe on top, chilled tzatziki, and muhammara. Then we moved on to the oysters which were fresh, with a dressing of an herb oil of some sort. They also had a complementary palette cleanser in between which was a shot of watermelon and orange juice. For maincourse, my husband went for the tagliatelle and I chose the ravioli, both choices were corroborated by our server to be the right ones to go for. The tagliatelle is expensive because of the lobster and caviar that it comes with. However, the pasta is delicious and comes in a decadent sauce. Not a lot of lobster pieces though. The ravioli had a robust mushroom flavor and came with a light sauce of mushrooms, crispy fried shallots, and pine nuts. We skipped dessert because we were pretty full already. Would definitely recommend this place for a cozy dinner out but it's quite expensive so might not be a place to go to frequently.
Came here on a friday night and made a reservation on opentable Vibes were very good but it was a bit loud in the restaurant Food was good too, but wasn't super spectacular for the price point, definitely unique though Service was great as the servers always made sure our needs were met Definitely good for a fun night out but a little on the pricier side. They charge 3% for credit card fees just beware of that
Generally enjoyed the food here. Few misses on a few dishes and some little things turned this exp from a 5 to a 4. Drinks/cocktails were tasty and I generally liked all the drinks I tried They got two weird rules: 1) Everything must be ordered at the same time so that they can coursify your meal. Not a huge deal I guess but we wanted to order apps first since we were hungry and then take our time to do the entrees 2) if someone wants to do the prefixe meal, EVERYONE has to do it as well ... Kinda a pain and I personally don't feel it makes much sense as I wanted something not on the pre fixe menu Food: Bruschetta - so tasty. It's a flavor bomb with the cheese, honey, and mortadella. Def recommend Kofta- not bad. I dunno if the meatballs really went that well with the hummus as it's kind of a dryer dip but I get what they were trying to do. The bruschetta was much better imo Crudo- solid crudo. I've had better quality fish but it still fairly good. Nice dish if you don't want something too heavy and want a lil citrus Scallops- really good but really pricey. Is 2 for $24 . Loved the way it was prepped tho and the wasabi cream sauce. Oysters- also good but also pricey @ $4/oyster. If you hafta make a choice I liked the scallops better Octopus: cooked perfectly. Loved the sauces and flavors as well. This was a big hit at the table Chicken: nice grilled taste but ultimately overcooked and dry. Flavor was ok. Prob wouldn't get again nor recommend Ny strip: solid steak with nice char texture and flavors. Nothin crazy crazy but way better than the chicken Ocean trout: imo the best entree of the night. It was cooked perfectly and the skin had a perfect crisp/flakiness Lobster tagliatelle: pretty meh. I think the sauce on the pasta was a bit bland. There also was barely any lobster. I'd skip this Lemon pie: the best dessert. It sounds basic AF but it's really a deconstructed lemon pie using lemon meringue on top. Def creative and tasty. Loukoumades: despite being recommended we prob felt this was the least fav dessert. The dough balls were a bit stale instead of nice soft and fluffy Chocolate sundae: reminded me of a chocolate mojito. It was not bad and the mint created another dimension to the desert but ultimately just way too much chocolate. I think it could be better if there were scoops of different flavors instead of all choc Overall, most of the dishes were great and we generally had a good experience. Some dishes were meh but def felt the majority were winners. Wouldn't mind coming back for a special occasion or nice dinner again when the menu is refreshed
Great food and nice vibe. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly and one of the best lamb chops I've ever had. The prices are on the steeper side, but the quality made it worth it. Knocked off one star because the service was lacking and the tables are pretty close together. Other than that, it was a nice experience and I'd go back!
I was recently in San Jose to take a local customer to dinner. They suggested this restaurant as it's within walking distance. We had 8 people and from the time we walked in, everything was fantastic, especially the service. They were coming by every few minutes to refill drinks and bringing food. We went with most of their suggestions and everything was absolutely amazing. I hope we come back next time we take the customer out. I highly recommend.
Beautiful interior that makes you want to stay a while. Came on a Sunday evening with a reservation but there were a lot of empty tables. The waiter was fabulous and knowledgeable letting us know what was popular or recommended. We had two complimentary treats including a small sesame waffle cone with caviar that tasted amazing and a drink of some sort as a palate cleanser that tasted mostly of pineapple. We ordered lamb chop and NY strips both of which tasted great. Ordered the crimson and clover cocktail, not overly sweet and hit the spot. Overall a good experience but one star docked due to prices being higher than what would be expected for quantity of food.
Came here for dinner with a party of 7 to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, and we had such a great experience! The ambience was beautiful, and Julia made our night even more special. She knew the menu inside and out and gave us several recommendations that everyone ended up loving. It was all of our first time dining here, and it definitely made for a memorable birthday celebration. Just a heads-up, there is a 3% credit card surcharge. Overall, I recommend this place and would definitely come back :)
Came here with some friends on a Saturday night before heading out in downtown San Jose, and it was a great way to start the evening. Parking is what you'd expect for downtown - either paid street parking or a nearby garage. The atmosphere is stylish and upscale, making it a great spot for a special night out. We ordered the mussels, flatbread, Brussels sprouts, and lobster noodles, and every dish was a hit. The mussels were definitely the standout - the sauce was so flavorful and unforgettable that we were tempted to ask for extra bread just to soak it all up. We also really enjoyed the cocktails. To top it all off, we were surprised with complimentary caviar cones from the restaurant, which was such a nice touch. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for celebrating with friends or enjoying a date night. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu!
Been here a couple times. So far each visit has been great. First visit was with a table of 8 girls. Second visit was a work event in the mezzanine 30 people and more appetizers and drinks instead of full entrees. I will say the sit down dinner was better for me. Food also tasted better than the small bites during the large gathering. Service though and drinks, impeccable both times! Pretty restaurant in downtown SJ. Bar is super pretty too. It is one of the nicest restaurants in downtown.
This was a fun place to go for a group! We all enjoyed our cocktails and dinner. We had excellent service!
Date of Visit: 6/13/2026 We visited the Eos & Nyx located in downtown San Jose on a Saturday early afternoon for brunch. Eos & Nyx is a vibrant dining destination with outdoor patio and loft style indoor dining room and open bar and kitchen. The menu includes locally sourced produce and seafood, mixed with Mediterranean cooking techniques. Eos & Nyx has also a fascinating cocktail menu, with brunch focused cocktails. Trix Aren't For Kids $18 Two husbands ordered the brunch cocktail, made with gin, trix, rice milk, ginger, passionfruit, cream, lemon, and egg white. A bit too sweet. Strawberry Spumoni $17 I got the strawberry brunch cocktail with bitter aperitivo, strawberry, fluffy grapefruit, and tonic. Cute but not memorable. Filipino Grand Slam $24 We ordered the amazing grand slam with Filipino longanisa, on the side there was garlic rice, fried eggs, and decorated with spiced vinegar. Pipikaula Ribs $32 The other main course we got the smoked pipikaula ribs, with kimchi fried rice, sunny eggs, and sprinkled scallion on the top. Chilaquiles $29 Another main course we had was the confit duck leg, mole rojo on the side. And on top there were feta and cilantro sauce dressing and a sunny side up egg on top. Caesar with trout $26 We also got a Caesar salad made with bibb & gem, Parmigiano Reggiano, herbed crouton, and boquerones. There was an option to include chicken or trout as the protein. We chose the trout and it was great with crispy skin and tender meat.
My friends and I heard a lot of good things about Eos & Nyx so we decided to come here for a girls' dinner. The restaurant itself was beautiful and the ambiance was probably one of my favorite parts of the experience. Of course, we had to start off with some drinks. You can never go wrong with an espresso martini and I really liked mine. For food, we started with the pita dip appetizer ($21), which ended up being the standout dish of the night. The dip was flavorful, and the pita was fresh and perfect for sharing. We also got two orders of scallops ($18/order), rigatoni ($45), and a N.Y. strip ($79). While everything was presented nicely and looked appealing, most of the dishes fell a little flat in terms of flavor. Nothing was bad, but nothing really wowed us either. I think that given the price point, it was fair to expect dishes that felt more memorable or unique. Overall, I can see why people come here - the atmosphere was beautiful, the drinks are solid, and it's a fun place for a night out. That said, I personally felt like we were paying more for the ambiance than the food itself. If you're looking for a trendy spot with great vibes, it's worth checking out, but based on our experience, the food didn't quite justify the entree prices.

Hands down my favorite restaurant in San Jose. The food is always excellent, and their cocktails are delightful. I have never once been disappointed with a dish, and I love trying new dishes on their menu. The staff is awesome, and the place has a cool astehtic vibe. I highly recommend, just know that it is a bit pricey but the experience is totally worth it. P.S. they give you palate cleaners snack in between courses for free. I had hibiscus herbal tea and and an adorable mini waffle cone, filled with crème fraîche, and topped with caviar (honestly never thought I'd like caviar before trying out this place for the first time). read more
A solid 4 star, approaching 4.5 star. We had a birthday dinner celebration this Saturday night. The fact that the restaurant is in the heart of San Jose downtown poses pros and cons. It is a great place for bar crawlers and party goers, but in the day where we ran into a Sharks game, a $25 parking fee is an unavoidable loss. Eos & Nyx is big and pretty, it's hard to miss. The huge glass walls, green plants inside that reminds you of RH Roof are pleasant. The bars are beautiful, the tables are set elegantly. We were seated upstairs, the only thing I wish was a restroom upstairs, but the bar there was beautiful and we had less traffic, which was nice. I also like that each of the restroom stall has its own sink and paper towels. All they missed is a mirror, which was covered in the public areas of the restroom. Service was good. Upon checking in, we were warmly greeted by the hosts and the farewell was also proper. Brian took good care of us; introducing the menu, refilling water, small talks, clearing dirty dishes and replacing them before the next entree, everything is a check mark done right. I also got a card signed by the team to wish a happy birthday. Through and through, they presented the birthday wish warm and well. As for food, I like the options on the menu. Plenty of sharable choices, big plates for pasta, meat, pizza and also lots of drink choices. Even 0 proof has some fancy options. We ordered Hamachi Crudo, Leafy Things (Spinach / endive / strawberry / halloumi / pecans), and Scallops (Hokkaido scallops / legumes / wasabi / turnip / gremolata) from Sharable. Then we followed Brian's recommendation and picked Rigatoni (Short rib ragu / pecorino romano / peas / carrot) and N.Y. Strip 12 Oz (Celeriac espuma / black garlic / bone marrow reduction) for entrees. We wrapped it up with a Tahini & Caramel ice cream for dessert. The Hamachi Crudo tasted fresh and it has avocado mesh but a tad too much lemon juice for me. The Leafy Things was huge, but I think they replaced the spinach with cabbage and it was a tad too bitter. The chunky grilled halloumi cheese was a hit for the kid. The Scallops were pan-fried well, I didn't like the tangerine wedges in the dish and the wasabi was a bit too subtle. Our favorite was the Rigatoni, good balance of short ribs, el dente pasta and the right portion to share. We were disappointed at the NY Strip. It was sliced out for us, which was convenient, but I tasted some soft bones on the outskirt and the kid complained it was burned; maybe the charcoal flavor was too strong. What I didn't like the most was the unevenness of the sauce. Some bites we had a strong spicy kick while some bites were mild. This made the sweet potato puree tasted excellent. The ice cream was ok, nothing to write home about, in comparison, I prefer vanilla more as the tahini and caramel were too grounded and lacking that distinct piercing hard to forget aroma. In between dishes they brought in refreshments to cleanse our palates. I like the cucumber water, but both were pretty good. We also ordered a glass of Syrah which was good, blended well with the food and a glass of Mount Vesuvius (Santa teresa 1796 rum / passionfruit / pineapple / coconut / strawberry). The Mount Vesuvius tasted very sweet, just like pina colada. All and all, we enjoyed the night and left with an overstuffed stomach. I would do a girls night here as well, which is what the ambiance calls for. read more

Cocktail Drinks - poor presentation and tooooo sweet. Bartenders or mixology looks tired and unmotivated making drinks. $17-20 per cocktail does not match the taste and presentation of their cocktail drinks. We visited today 9.12.26 at the bar before having dinner. My husband had aged dry steak and i had chesse burger. Over cooked. We were dinning with friends and family didnt make any fuss. We are disappointed. Thank God we brought 2 bottles of wine from Chateu Montellena. Corkage $35 per 750ml bottle. Maximum of 2 bottles. And we have 7 adults drinking. I guess they want us to utilize their bar. There are more better and nice place that's worth the price of this restaurant. read more

We came here on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was crowded and lively. The restaurant has two floors, and we sat upstairs at the bar. The restaurant is great for date night due to its romantic atmosphere. I was impressed at how picturesque this restaurant was. The background looked great in our photos. We ordered the rigatoni and the n.y. strip 12 oz. The portions were small and not enough for 2 people. The rigatoni was tasty and the steak was tender; both meals were delicious. The meals were on the pricey side. To conclude, I would return here for the immaculate taste of the food. I would recommend this spot if you're looking for a lively restaurant in downtown San Jose! read more

Our waiter was amazing. He explained the menu perfectly and gave us some really good recommendations. He didn't miss! Everything we ate was AMAZING! I didn't think we'd be full at the end but we were. The restaurant itself is gorgeous!! I'll definitely be back! Parking: you have to park in a structure of walk super far. I think it was free for the 90mins. read more
Vibes and service are a 10/10. The food is good but not great for the price point. Here's what we got ranking from favorite to least favorite: Beignet: 10/10 I loved the dessert. It fluffy and the bananas added such a good crunch from the brûlée'd sugar Rigatoni: 9/10 shortrib was so soft and tasty. Octopus: 8/10 mole was flavored well Ny strip: 7/10 solid steak nothing crazy Crudo: 7/10 good but wouldn't get again Branzino: 6/10 small portion and fell flat in flavor, just not worth getting read more
Reservations were made for a birthday. Reservations highly recommended! 2 floors with a beautiful staircase and nice, roomy bar area with open kitchen. Very lively with dimmed lighting,beautiful ambience. Food and drinks were all around enjoyed and yummy. Really nice place to grab drinks and small bites, maybe not for a full meal! Will gladly return when in the area read more
Came here w/friends....to grab dinner. At first I didn't think it was going to be all that, however just needed to be open to the experience. When I saw it was Mediterranean....I was feeling a little biased. I have to say though, I was pleasantly surprised. My friend said it was one of his favorite spots....so went with trusting his judgement. We ordered the caviar cones, the flatbread and oysters for appetizers and then everyone ordered their entrees...I don't eat meat so my thoughts were either the raviolis or the risotto and this time I went with the suggested raviolis. They didn't disappoint...everything was amazing! I will definitely put this on my list of places to go...it was great! The decor and staff were amazing too! read more
Oh my fancy. As someone born and raised in San Jose who now lives in Sac and has not visited downtown in a few years, my first thought was, "Where am I? Santana Row?!" I came for group dinner where were treated to the meal by a colleague, so needless to say -- I had the time of my life! When I saw the prices, my expectations were reasonably high (I had to keep asking to see if anyone else would dare to order the most expensive entree -- $79 10 oz NY strip). Everything I ordered (the steak, mussels, tiramisu, beignets) exceeded expectations! I also got to try appetizers that we shared: octopus, pita (with quality fish eggs in the hummus!), a raspberry cream cheese toast -- I know these foods have fancier names, I should have taken a pic of the menu, my bad. But everything was fantastic. Aesthetic, fresh, and a foodie dream experience. They also have palette cleansers!? We had a yummy tea after appetizers and a yuzu mochi bite before dessert. The one entree that did not exceed expectations was the chicken, which was a bit on the dry side. The drinks are also fantastic. I recommend the Pandan alcoholic beverage which was a hit with our group. We also ordered a bottle of red blend wine which was fantastic (though pricey, $92). The vibes were also immaculate with the early 2000s r&b. We were a group of Filipino Americans who felt right at home. read more

Food: 2/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 I brought my parents here for brunch recently for my mom's birthday. The service was super friendly and fast, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. They prepared a cute card for my mom that was signed by staff saying happy birthday. The food presentation was great across the board, but unfortunately the flavors just didn't really deliver for us. The standout dish was probably the raw oysters. The mussels were decent, and the ribs were good, but a lot of the food came out surprisingly cold despite how quickly everything arrived. The kimchi fried rice especially left a lot to be desired. The rice was clumped together and was somewhat mushy and not flavorful at all, which felt disappointing for such a simple dish. The chilaquiles were okay, and the duck leg was probably the strongest cooked dish flavor-wise, but there was only one piece and it wasn't nearly as juicy as I expected. Overall, I'd come back again for the ambiance and vibes, but next time I'd probably try the dinner menu instead of brunch. read more
Fixed course meal Food: A First experience with Eos & Nyx. Definitely did not disappoint. Brunch started with an assortment of goodies. We got to sample a variety of apps. Main course was ribeye steak and eggs. Steak was cooked to perfect temp. The sauce that was paired with steak was a variant of Chimichuri. The Chimichuri rounded up the overall dish perfectly. Service: A Will definitely come back to try the regular menu. -John read more
This updated review is strictly for their brunch. Their brunch menu is very limited. Most items are basic with a few actual specialty items. Our Benedict came with two hard boiled eggs instead poached eggs. Of course I sent that back to be redone. Their chilaquiles was a little too salty for my liking and the mole sauce doesn't really mesh well with the chips. Deviled Eggs were probably my only favorite item that we ordered. read more

My 2 friends and I came on Sunday around 6:30 pm for dinner and sat in the patio area because my fur babies accompanied us. Would've loved to sit on the inside since it is such a beautiful interior with a chic-low-fi, lounge-y vibe. They brought a cool water bowl out for my pups. Firstly, service was seamless. Our server lady (Ady [sp?]) was amazing. So sweet and checked in with us regularly. She helped set the patio heaters on to our preferred settings any time we needed it adjusted-- so really appreciate that! For wine, I got a great orange-something grenache that had a little citrus zest to make any meal interesting. Secondly, we were so pleasantly surprised when Ady brought out some small dishes/samplers including an Amuse Bouche "Caviar cones". Flavor profile was a creamy rich "sour cream & onions" style with a crunch on initial bite- better to eat it whole, in one bite. She also brought out a "mexican agua fresca"-inspired drink that had mango, pineapple, apple and citrus twist. Was refreshing and not to sweet that it left any syrupy feeling in your throat. Perfect! And the last surprise we got for dessert were cute little round rice crispy treats that wrapped up our meal nicely. From the menu, we ordered the following: 1. crudo daily selection of seafood (tuna)/ curry/ chili/ shallots - we got tuna (very fresh) - a fun play on two contrasting flavors with the sauce. 2. octopus mole negro/ lime/ maiz/ marcona almonds/ coriander - octopus texture was done appropriately (not too chewy or too firm). - The spicy chili adds an exciting kick, but for my spice tolerance level, may have been a bit much - the peanuts add a smoky tinge to the flavor along to the --what I suspect is -- black ink sauce. 3. brussels chili honey/ bacon jam/ tomato/ pickled onion/ house spice - -crisp flakes of brussel sprouds wrapped in a warm flavor of onion and cherry tomatoes 4. n.y. strip 12 oz taro espuma/ black garlic/ bone marrow reduction - this was my fav in terms of taste and visual appeal. We ordered for it to be cooked medium rare. - I've never had a taro-flavored espuma before and what a nice light complement to the tender meat and black garlic sauce. - What was fun was adding dashes of lemon juice over the meat and watching it turn the light purple taro cream into a magenta color instantly. Yay for chemistry haha! We had a wonderful time here. Lovely atmosphere, quality food, and fun added tasting ventures/amuse bouches. Shout out to Ady! read more
This place is very nice! Service was great! My water cup was never emptied, servers ALWAYS refilled our cups without asking. Food was super delicious! I highly recommend the mussels! That was my favorite dish! So many good things on the menu that's its best to come with a group so you can try a bit of everything. I had the non alcoholic drink garden of Eden and it was quite refreshing. Tasted like a creamy lemonade. They change out your plate for the main course dishes and give you a juice for a palate cleanser. I love the beignet dessert! It was the best! read more
I have been here twice already and it's one of my favorite date night restaurants. We went here once for our anniversary and they gave us a cute card that was hand signed by all the workers which I thought was very thoughtful! They also added a little decoration to our dessert plate which is really cute. The lamb, amazing. I usually don't like lamb, but this dish single handedly changed my mind. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned very well, not at all gamey. The flat bread was also really good! Highly recommend this place! They also give you a complimentary little thing with caviar on it in the beginning of your dinner which was nice. read more

I've been here twice now and overall have had a really enjoyable experience! On my first visit with a friend, the oysters were absolutely delicious. They also gave us a complimentary caviar cone, which was such a nice surprise and was savory and delicious. We also tried the bruschetta, which was super yummy, along with the octopus, which was flavorful and cooked perfectly. I came back a second time with my best friend and we ordered the New York strip. Unfortunately, that was the one disappointment. The meat was pretty tough and not nearly as tender as I would have expected, especially considering the overall quality of the restaurant. The cocktails, however, are amazing! The ambience is beautiful and the service has been wonderful both times I've visited. Overall, I really enjoyed both experiences and would definitely come back. The only reason I'm giving 4 out of 5 stars instead of 5 is because of the quality of the steak on my second visit. read more
Eos & Nyx was on my to-visit list for awhile! Two of us ordered: you drive me loco moco $24 crab friends with benedicts $28 leafy things $16 We swung by for brunch. As expected, ambiance is nice in the area. Service could definitely improve. Ended up not getting the "Trix" drink that we ordered, so we just cancelled it. Flavors for the food were ok. Street parking in the area can be difficult during peak hours. read more

Service - 5+ Ambiance - 5 Food & drink - 4 I've been wanting to go to Eos & Nyx for the last year since I moved to the area, and I'm glad I finally gave it a try! Overall, this was a great date night spot and I'd love to go again to try other things. For service, I'd say this is some of the best service we've had across comparable restaurants in a long time! Our waiter was attentive, and we appreciated that he sent our entrees back without our asking because he realized we weren't ready (still finishing apps). Other than that little blip, the pacing was great (~2 hours total). The staff was also good about wiping the table down and changing out plates in between courses. For food and drink, my boyfriend and I ordered the following: - Old Fashioned & the Jean Claude Pandan cocktail (and later ordered a Paloma) - Beef duo & flatbread for appetizers - Lobster tagliatelle & duck for entrees - Side of brussel sprouts - Lemon pie for dessert My boyfriend's Old Fashioned was great (really smooth, not syrupy), but I didn't love either of my cocktails. I loved the beef tartare and bone marrow combination, but didn't love the rice chips that were paired as I felt the flavor was overpowering and they fell apart easily. The lobster tagliatelle could've used more lobster, but the pasta was delicious and the sauce was refreshing and light while still being flavorful. I enjoyed the duck and the crispy skin, and we both loved the flavor of the brussel sprouts! Lastly, we both didn't care for the lemon pie; we may have missed the description details, but we were surprised to get a lemon custard / filling in a bowl with a meringue top (definitely not a traditional pie). Lastly, the ambiance was nice! We sat outside and it was a good balance of quiet and lively--there were other people and activity but I felt like we had our own space and weren't trying to hear each other over background noise. read more
Really wanted to like this place more, but unfortunately the great vibes and service alone... couldn't sway me to come back. The ambiance was great - located in dtsj....the place was lively, well decorated, & spacious but still intimate; perf. for a "girls dinner" or "date night" vibe. I came with my girls to celebrate a friend's bday. We had a pretty large group (9 girls) so we made reservations and were seated immediately. Service was great throughout the meal, we got a few comp. Bites and were checked on often. In the end - what it came down to was the food. First off - the menu itself was a bit all over the place - was it Greek, New American, or Asian fusion?? Seemed like it was a little bit of everything...and focused on variety (aka quantity over quality). There was also a good sized cocktail menu - which was a bit more "focused" overall. Let's dig in: (1) Caviar cones (comp) - this was a nice treat, the texture of the cone was good but mousse & roe just became too salty, in the end. (2) Fries - these were ok, similar to steak fries, wish they were a bit more crispy though. (3) Meatballs - also ok, the meatball texture was a bit too mushy inside but flavor was fair. (4) Beets - this was too tart and just too much going on overall. (5) Hummus sampler - this was ok, simple but also nothing stood out. (6) Pork chop - pork chop was cooked well, but over seasoned. (7) Branzino fillets with uni toast - this was odd, the fish skin sadly was not crispy enough, fish itself a bit bland - and then to have uni on that kind of toast...which was just dry & didn't do the beautiful uni any justice. (8) Short ribs - this was not tender and (again) just too salty & over seasoned. (9) Pesto pasta - for so much going on visually, the flavors sadly were underwhelming & a bit mono-tone. Cocktails unfortunately were all also underwhelming- either...too sweet, light (not boozy enough) or tart. Def needed to be more balanced overall. This visit was a while ago (over a year) - so I'm honestly not sure if things have improved and or if the menu may have changed. Hopefully it did, but as of now - sadly, not a place I'd go out of my way for. read more

My friend and I decided to come here after hearing all the good things. We made a reservation for a Saturday night (surprisingly it was not as busy as we thought it would be). The vibes were great! A lot of super sweet girls sat near us, and the staff were friendly. We were greeted by our server (shout out to Cynthia!) and given our menus. We ordered drinks first : the crimson & clover and jean claude pandan. Both drinks were not as strong as we hoped it would be. We ended up ordering a white wine mid meal as well. For food, I asked for every dairy product on the side since I do not prefer to eat dairy. Staff was amazing! They separated everything. We started off with the complimentary caviar cones. Delicious start! Octopus was 10/10! The sauce was incredible and flavorful! The rigatoni was yummy. I really enjoyed the texture and flavor of the pasta. We ordered the filet mignon medium rare and it was cooked perfectly! 10/10. Brussels were also really good. They also gave complimentary palate cleanser juices and house-made shortbread cookies (which was a bit too sweet for us) Overall, this restaurant is definitely worth the try. It is a bit on the pricier side (our total was about 250 including tip) . Side note: we ordered for a table for 2. Least favorite was the drinks since it could've been a bit stronger. Favorite: octopus!! must order!! read more

First time at EOS & NYX in San Jose celebrated my grandpas birthday for brunch. We had a big party of 19. I loved the vibe of the place very modern. Great place to have a small birthday with loved ones and or friends. The customer service was great. The staff were very friendly and bubbly always checked we needed anything. Staff made sure we were taken of. The place was very modern I loved how there were some plants hanging and the bathrooms were very clean and had personal sinks in each stall. The food was good. I got the classic Filipino breakfast longanisa plate(grand slam) I also got the pineapple juice that was refreshing! My son got the chicken and waffle he enjoyed his plate. My son said the chicken reminded him of pop corn chicken which he loves. The only thing was the menu was a bit pricey but the food was good that's why I minus one star on the yelp rating My grandpa had slices of carrot cake in a plate that had a happy birthday sign grounded coffee or cinnamon I couldn't tell. Lol but the carrot cake was good no raisins that was a plus for me. Overall I would come back again. read more
Eos & Nyx is a Californian restaurant with Mediterranean influence that leans heavily on vibes. It is very obviously trying to be a high end spot, but the food just doesn't back it up. It's in a prime downtown San Jose location, but there are honestly so many better options at this price point. The food was the biggest letdown. Mostly everything we ordered was underwhelming and the portions were small. The scallops come with only two for $18 which felt kind of ridiculous. The NY strip was $80 and honestly my mom could make a better one at home from the grocery store. The one exception was the pita and dip trio. The short rib ragu was bland and slimy. That was actually really good and the only thing I would order again. I highly recommend getting that if you do come here. Service was very good as expected for a place like this. No complaints. The ambience is nice and gives night out with friends or your SO vibe, but it feels like they focus more on the ambience than the actual food. For the price, I just don't think it's worth it, especially when this isn't even fine dining. read more
Overall, a solid spot--especially for drinks. The cocktail menu feels intentional and well thought out. The Crimson & Clover and Jean Claude Pandan were light and refreshing, while the Eye of the Beholder was like a boozy melted ice cream--creamy, slightly sweet, and well balanced. Loved the olive oil and salt touch. Ambiance is beautiful--elevated but still comfortable. Amuse-bouche aka the cones with crème fraîche and caviar were a perfect start to kick off dinner. Scallops were good, but the buttery polenta was the real standout. The endive and arugula salad was well balanced, with green apple adding brightness. The tagliatelle was a highlight--perfectly cooked lobster, fresh pasta, and a creamy sauce that wasn't too heavy. The caviar added a nice salty finish. The filet was just okay--cooked correctly, but the flavor fell flat. Would come back for drinks and a few standout dishes. read more

I believe they can rent out the upstairs bar area for a pretty penny.
Is the bar area open seating or is a reservation required for the bar too?
Bar is first come first serve
Do they take reservations for brunch on weekends?
They do. The best way to find availability is to download the open table app and search the restaurant. You can make reservations there.

They have an upstairs area which can be likely be used for private events.

One couple brought their toddler during dinner. I think it's fine as long as the kids are well behaved.

Although reservations are preferred, we were walk-ins.
Are walk ins available?
Yes walk-ins are available, but reservations are recommended. Just be weary of what time you come. I'd advise to call ahead and ask if there is a current wait time.
