We enjoyed an excellent New Year's Eve dinner at Arcadia in San Jose (Marriott). The four course fixed price menu with wine parings. The food was exceptional and the wine pairings very appropriate.
I especially liked the the Maine Lobster Pot Pie matched with a Moshin Pinot Noir 2008 from Sonoma. Also the Short Rib Rossini with Foie Gras was exceptional.
The only downside to a great meal was the absolutely egregious disco crap music that started at 9:30 and became progressively louder as the evening progressed. By midnight it was so loud no conversation was possible. The head waiter explained this was a New Years experiment - my comment - I don't think it worked. It would have been much better to have a live band playing well known covers to welcome in the New Year.
