"Restaurants in Mountain View tend toward the casual side, but Chez TJ is an exception. This old-school, French-inspired, prix-fixe-only spot that’s housed in a cozy Victorian cottage is ideal for extra-special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, or the conclusion of a successful round of seed funding. Choose between the chef’s tasting menu (seven courses, $225 per person) and the lighter chef’s garden menu (four courses, $140 per person), and you can also add on the optional sommelier-curated wine pairings. Expect beautifully plated courses that evolve seasonally, like warm, housemade bread paired with a special spread like herb-laced butter or whipped ricotta, all served at a pleasant and leisurely pace." - gabi moskowitz
