E&O is one of my favorite fusion restaurant located in San Jose downtown accessible by the light rail. I have dined here numerous times and was never disappointed. The ambiance is romantic yet casual. The service is always friendly and attentive.
For your first visit I recommend the following dishes.
Small Plates
Indonesian Corn Fritters - Crispy fried corn dipped in sweet chilli soy sauce. Consider this their house specialty. If you ask your server for recommendation, he/she is most likely going to tell you about the corn fritters.
Spicy Sweet Potato Flat Bread - For those of you who is not a big fan of fried food, the flat bread is a healthier alternative.
Big Plates
Shaking Beef - Tender cubed beef filet cooked in a tasty garlic sauce. This dish is done almost exactly according to the classic Vietnamese recipe.
Shiso Pepper Grilled Salmon - Simple yet tasty grilled salmon completed with mixed greens.
Other honorable mentions
Duck Imperial Roll
Ginger Portobello Satay
Hardwood Grilled Ahi
Pros: Good Food, Romantic Ambiance
Cons: Downtown Parking
