I dined at Chez TJ under Kostow and Chemel. I preferred Kostow’s style, but have been curious about Chemel’s new place. Thank you.

The creativity is apparent in each picture and of course your description just adds. Sign, now I just need to find an excuse to check it out. =)

In fact, one of the worst was at a restaurant opening, where it was ONLY media and influential community people who were invited. Now, you’d think with that crowd, they would take extra care. Not this time. Meat was tough, water was spilled all over the table, and service staff was pretty clueless. And this was a restaurant that had sister restaurants in the Bay Area. So, it’s not like they had never opened a restaurant before. I did not write about this restaurant, which I visited when I was still a food writer at the San Jose Mercury News. Well, for one thing, I don’t think it’s fair to write about an experience that terrible when obviously the restaurant hadn’t even opened to the public yet.Plus, all restaurants have to have a certain grace period when they first open in order to give them time to get into their groove.

Otherwise, if you read my restaurant write-ups on my blog, you’ll note that I don’t always like everything. If a dessert isn’t up to snuff (i.e. the kabocha cake at Nombe in San Francisco) or sauces are too similar throughout a tasting menu (the goat dinner at One Market in San Francisco), I say it like it is.
