). if it makes a difference in the quality of service, we have the last seating at manresa, and either 6:30 or 8 at la folie.

I have a Bday this weekend, and will be going to Manresa Sunday evening for a splurge. DH forgot so we could only get an 8:30 seating. I’m thinking that may be too late in the evening to fully enjoy the tasting menu? (Boy...

Manresa tasting menu w/ a few friends last week. 1st time for any of us at the restaurant. Expectations not high. Nonetheless, the consensus from all of us was disappointment. To quote 1 friend, “nothing blew me...

Last Saturday night, my wife and I joined her brother and his wife for dinner at Manresa restaurant in Los Gatos. We had the tasting menu — must have been about 12 courses — and I cannot adequately describe the truly...

I firmly feel that Manresa is the Bay Area’s brightest star when it comes to high end cuisine. David Kinch is a genius and I prefer his cuisine over anything in Yountville or in NYC for that matter. Before leaving the Bay Area, I...

Finally my friend’s birthday rolls around, and we are going to Manresa the first weekend of October. Tasting Menu is the obvious choice. But what should we do for wine? I’ve read mixed reviews of the pairings. Are they...
