San Jose diners will welcome Strata, a California-inspired restaurant scheduled to open May 13 on the ground floor of the Miro apartment towers in Downtown San Jose.
Spanning approximately 7,000 square feet, the venue will replace Rollati Ristorante and will introduce a dual concept that pairs a rotating prix fixe experience with casual a la carte options at the bar lounge. This will be San Jose's first restaurant to primarily feature a tasting menu since Adega (unless you include The Capital Club). the initial multi-course menu will be $75/person, much less than the typical three figure amounts you would pay at a fine dining restaurant in SF or Napa.
Executive Chef Roberto Mendoza will oversee a menu that will evolve every six to eight weeks, with early highlights including chicken fried morels accompanied by crab mousse and rockfish served alongside squash, herb pesto and chili oil.
The beverage program will feature cocktails, nonalcoholic selections and a changing wine list while the physical space will draw from geological strata through earth toned materials selected by San Jose based architecture firm Manu Studios.
M.O. Hospitality owner Dan Phan described an environment where layers of cuisine, hospitality and experience will create visits that feel both novel and familiar at a consistently high standard of quality. San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan praised the group for its ongoing investment in Downtown. M.O. Hospitality also owns unique bars such as Still OG, Paper Plane, Miniboss, as well as the exceptional Alter Ego and Eos & Nyx.
The restaurant will close on Mondays and will operate from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday and from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday with reservations available through OpenTable. Expanded seating, lighting upgrades and live music will arrive over the coming year.
