"Vicinity in Los Gatos is edging closer to the Michelin star galaxy with the recent naming of Vicinity to the “recommended” category in the esteemed Michelin Guide. Deemed a “ new culinary gem,” Vicinity joins 21 California restaurants set to appear in the latest guide, slated for a June release. Chef Julian Silvera and owners Denise and Michael Thornberry are building momentum with recent creative offerings and carefully selected wine pairings."
"Among Silvera's recent creative offerings is Superior Ranch lamb from Dixon, CA, served with smoked pea puree, black garlic and demi, paired with 2020 Olga Raffault, Cabernet Franc, “Les Picasses,” Chinon, Loire, France, for the international pairing. As for the local pairing, the somm team selected the 2021 I. Brand & Family Cabernet Franc, Bates Ranch, Santa Cruz Mountains."
"Can't miss the construction trucks around town, or the informative plyboard surrounding the former Steamers Grillhouse and Gap spaces at 31 University Ave. in downtown Los Gatos, teasing the coming concept by Restoration Hardware, which already has a gallery on Santa Cruz Avenue. The graphics on the construction fence vaguely hint at what's to come in spring 2027, when the lifestyle brand is targeting the opening of its gallery and restaurant, with an image of Michelangelo's Vitruvian Man, and text that reads, in part, “Where less becomes more, perfect proportions exist.”"
"Wonder no more what will replace Rosie McCann's. Get ready for Flora, an immersive all-day concept from local hospitality veterans Russ Fukushima, Jameson Parvizad and Danny Shafazand, who brought you Second Story in Los Gatos, Bell Tower Café in Saratoga and Wild Rose in Campbell. The new spot will offer lunches, dinners and weekend brunch, and aims to be a choice spot for taking a shopping break or getting together for cocktails and celebratory nights out. Flora is expected to open in the summer."
