Took my husband here for his birthday dinner. The food was quite good, everything tasted really good. Especially the brussel sprout salad. Really enjoyed the decorations and overall ambiance, but what stood out the most was the service. Very friendly and attentive staff that were focused on making sure you had a nice evening. I highly recommend trying Elyse for any occasion.

Very nice dinner with work colleagues. Decent wine/spirits list. Waitress was very attentive and checked on us regularly. Spring rolls are ok on their own, but are really elevated by the spicy mustard sauce. Mushroom Tartelette was flaky and light – good for a small appetizer. Steak and veggies were nicely done.

The mushroom appetizer was so delicious! My mouth is salivating just thinking about it. The drinks were also very well made and creative. I ordered the short ribs which were cooked perfectly. I thought it was a little bit bland but it might be my own ignorance to what French cuisine is supposed to taste like. My boyfriend got the ribeye with mushroom sauce and, again, the sauce was amazing. So flavorful and delicious!!!

A new dining spot joins the downtown scene. A mix of French and Vietnamese cuisine (leaning mainly towards the former). Decent selection of dishes and flavors were excellent.

French Vietnamese food in downtown San Jose near the improv. A bit expensive for the neighborhood and the decor and service. Good creative cocktails, which we very much enjoyed. Our favorite dish was the shaking beef – not quite Tamarine amazing, but still good We also ordered the halibut, which came out raw the first time and was just ok the second time. For our appetizer we had the whole prawns, which were a bit mushy. Total bill was about $160 for two.

All the food was fantastic, and the service was very attentive. Recommend getting the Shaken Filet and the Sea Bass.

This place is a French Vietnamese restaurant. An interesting combination that works so well together. My husband and I have been there a couple of times now and both have been great experiences. I highly recommend the short ribs, rib eye, spring rolls, mushroom tartlets, all are outstanding! They have this chocolate dessert called a trianon that is amazing if you’re a chocolate lover. They also have a full bar, a nice cocktail menu and a decent wine-by-the-glass selection. The prices are reasonable for the serving size and comparable to other Bay area restaurants. The service is also pretty fantastic. The server remembered us after only being in one other time! It’s a nice little romantic spot. Highly recommend!

It was happy hour so we just had a couple of cocktails and a lot of appetizers. Everything was amazing, but the wings and Brussels sprouts deserve special mention.
