If you are looking for semi-traditional French cuisine that is on the high end (of the price and quality) scale, you should consider Emiles. My wife and I spent New Years Eve there last year, and we were in awe of the results. Everything from the recommended wine pairings to the sides and accents was near perfect. The atmosphere is a bit traditional, but not bistro-like or noisy at all. The service was outstanding, and the meal was well paced. I highly recommend it. more

I personally think Emile's is pretty expensive, but I also think that the food is great. Emile's is located on 2nd street between William and Reed. The best part is that you can decide how much you are hungry and order your favorite entree's in appropriate size. This is a great concept and a no-brainer. More people should be doing this. more

We went to Emile's before a show in San Jose. First, we had heard great things about Emiles on the radio and read great online reviews, so we assumed it would be in the downtown area, but it was just a few blocks (not the nicest area) from it. But it was worth the sketchy walk. We had onion soup gratinee, we had wine, we had veal and duck. We didn't have a souffle, but only because the calorie police in my mind wouldn't let me! I definitely will on my return trip. It was wedding anniversary and it was a wonderful, romantic evening. The thing I loved was that I could order a taste, which was great for me to keep calories to a minimum or would be good to keep the bill low. They have a very nice wine list and they take reservations through opentable.com. They also do cooking classes which I would love to partake once my kids get older! more
