It will probably surprise a few that this didn't win this year, but it was just not the best. The tasting menu is great but still not worth all that money, I think.

Agreed! I had the tasting menu there last year and it was pretty good, but my experience with the smaller four course meal there in May was disappointing.Best meal I've had so far this year was at Cyrus. But I've got French Laundry reservations in November, so that may be the clincher :)

Pretty good? That tasting menu was flavor-tastic. Odd how unstable they are - some dishes amazing, some total crap.

This is a great place if you happen to be in Santa Clara, and perfect for an after-work drink on a Friday afternoon with the office people.

Heh, "the office people."

yeah, you know the kind of nice, decent and friendly people you find in a good office.

Awwww...

Body Worlds rocked my world. I learned more about the human body in 3 hours than I did through all the science classes and textbooks I trudged through in school.

Me too. It was amazingly educational and very interesting. In comparison to the biology in high school, it was a like learning geography without maps! If they showed this to high school students you would get much higher interest in life sciences and people would probably also take care of themselves better, especially in terms of smoking.

Indeed. After seeing this exhibit, I realized that I wanted to take better care of my body. The more people which see an exhibit like this, the better.
