A New Restaurant Opens in San Jose, CA

The Shadow had the opportunity last night to dine in one of the fine establishments in San Jose, CA (about an hour south of San Francisco). He was accompanied by his beautiful date, the Lovely Russian Lass (yes I stole this from Critical Cloud for readers of that blog).

The restaurant is Stratta Grill & Bar, in the heart of downtown San Jose. It features an American menu with very good prices.

Calamari with a fantastic sauce -- our appetizer

The Lovely Russian Lass' entree -- seared Ahi Tuna

The Shadow's entree -- St. Louis Style Ribs with Grilled Corn-on-the-Cob
The bar area was very elegant. The restaurant also boast beautiful hardwood floors -- and the restrooms are definitely worth the trip.

Plans also call for an outdoor smoking area in the near future. Fine cigars can be purchased at the bar as well.
