The Most Interesting Restaurant Debuts of 2006
By Stett Holbrook
WITH JUST a few days left in 2006, here are my picks for the Top 5 restaurant openings of the year gone by.
San Francisco.com Real Estate
Moving to the Bay Area just became easy. Let San Francisco.com show you all the homes currently for sale.
San Jose.com Real Estate
Relocating to San Jose or Silicon Valley? Let San Jose.com introduce you to some expert area real estate agents.
Arcadia Actually not a new restaurant, but a reconfigured one. Arcadia switched from high concept versions of comfort food to a steakhouse with a sybaritic bent. It's now one of San Jose's top fine dining destinations. 301 S. Market St, San Jose. 408.278.4555.
Junnoon Junnoon's great-looking dining room, small but swank bar and delicious contemporary Indian cuisine make it a restaurant worth seeking out on Palo Alto's restaurant-dense University Avenue. 150 University Ave, Palo Alto. 650.329.9644.
Nha Toi Northern-style Vietnamese restaurants in Silicon Valley are a rarity. Nha Toi offers a great introduction into the food of this lesser-known region. 460 E. William St, San Jose. 408.294.2733.
Tanglewood In restaurant-crowded Santana Row, newcomer Tanglewood is a standout. Tanglewood serves well-crafted American food with an emphasis on seasonal and local ingredients. 334 Santana Row, San Jose. 408.244.0464.
Vittoria The inviting, open dining room and glow from the wood-fired oven make the Sicilian-based menu of this handsome Los Gatos newcomer even more appealing. 27 N. Santa Cruz Ave, Los Gatos. 408.395.6000.
