A sleek addition to the world of downtown San Jose restaurants, Mosaic Restaurant & Lounge has a loyal fan base. This chic, modern restaurant caters to the dinner and after work crowds with approachable menus, an extensive wine list, an array of cocktails and extended daily happy hour specials to properly celebrate the end of any workday. Located in the Historic Hotel Montgomery in the heart of downtown, Mosaic holds an accessible, coveted location near the corner of San Carlos and South First streets.

A distinctive design style, bringing together drawn silks, honey-toned lighting, exposed cement walls, stained concrete floors and warm, buttery furnishings, helps to make this one of the most stylish restaurants and bars in San Jose. Low profile furnishings in the lounge area greet guests at the entrance, encouraging a visit to the bar and relaxation with a cocktail or some light appetizers before taking a seat at one of the tastefully appointed tables. The atmosphere of Mosaic oscillates gracefully between lively and down tempo, simultaneously offering options appealing to diners pursuing everything from a romantic dinner to a post-work glass of wine with friends.

Continental cuisine comes to life with Asian and American influences at this hip downtown dining spot. The menu incorporates centerpiece items like line-caught seafood and quality hand-cut meats, pairing them with fresh ingredients to create dishes like tuna tartare, poached Scottish salmon with a verjus-lemongrass infusion, crispy pork belly with apricots & kimchi, roasted organic half chicken with savory spinach & sage jus, and grilled flat iron steak. The menu of American brasserie cuisine also features gourmet twists on familiar favorites like cheeseburgers and macaroni & cheese, as well as a selection of flavorful vegetarian dishes.

Mosaic stands out in the San Jose dining scene with a few innovative additions. Handcrafted, house-infused cocktails and icy premium vodkas hailing from around the world make the bar an enviable address. One of the other decidedly unique features of Mosaic is an expansive patio transformed into an outdoor lounge, complete with a bar, oversized couches, gas heaters, olive trees and a bocce ball court.
