Wednesday Wishlist: Morimoto

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to try out Morimoto in Napa, probably the best Japanese restaurant I have ever been to. By the end of the meal, all I could think of was that I want this place in San Jose.

If you could pick one restaurant to bring to San Jose, what would it be?

Jim Stump is Bringing a New Gastropub to Willow Glen

Silicon Valley restaurateur Jim Stump (AP Stumps, Los Gatos Brewing Co.) is bringing a new concept to Willow Glen called The Table. He's designing it as a gastropub (warm, inviting neighborhood restaurant) with modern American cuisine. The new restaurant will be on the corner of Willow and Lincoln in a brand new 41,000sqft mixed-use building. He's hoping to have it open by Spring 2012.

He'll also have two new neighbors: the Crepevine and the return of San Jose's beloved Lou's Village. I can't wait to see how this corner turns out!
