Strata Layers New Dining Experiences in Downtown San Jose

You will soon discover a captivating new restaurant transforming the prominent space across from City Hall. The former Rollati location at the base of the Miro towers will become Strata. The extremely talented team behind Eos & Nyx, Paper Plane, Miniboss, Alter Ego and Still OG will step in with their proven touch.

They will channel their previous successes into the nearly 7,000-square-foot flagship venue. The result promises to be a concept designed to grow and delight over time through seasonal shifts. Already Eos & Nyx and Alter Ego are well known for their exceptional menus.

At Strata, the multicultural menu will evolve continuously and creatively explore new techniques. Rare for San Jose, it will also feature a prix-fixe or tasting menu. A strong cocktail program is a given with a thoughtful wine list rounding out the offerings. If you have been to any of their other venues, you'd expect nothing less when it comes to drinks.

Positioned at Fourth and Santa Clara streets in the base of the Miro towers, you'll have a nice view of the City Hall rotunda and tower alongside the Sonic Runway art installation.

I've missed Rollati, and can think of no better restaurant group to take its place. They are conducting staff interviews from March 3-5, so an official launch should be here before summertime.
