- PPatrickVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •13 reviews5.0Dined todayIt was my first visit for dinner, after having had brunch once. We found the small plates, entrees and everything to be outstanding. The service was excellent as well. They did a very creative remodel of the former movie theater lobby space to create this two-level restaurant. It is on the pricey side, but definitely worth visiting.More infoEos & NyxPrice: Expensive• Californian• San Jose•4.5

- TTamishaSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review4.0Dined on 15 Feb 2025It was nice. Small table. I felt the selections were less than other places I’ve been. The salad bar wasn’t much that I wanted and the hot food station options were not desired either, white rice, tilapia and a couple other side dishes I wasn’t interested in. The meat that was served was excellent - every piece was mouth watering…. their signature drinks were also amazing. I definitely got my fill and for the price you should. It was nice but there are other places closer to home I’ll go to for a little cheaper with more options I like. It was Valentine’s Day and my honey is a Taurus so I thought it would be cute to dine there.More infoTaurinus Brazilian SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Brazilian Steakhouse• San Jose•4
