After a little shopping at Westfield Valley Fair, Cecile and I went to Santana Row (SR), tucked in the heart of Silicon Valley in San Jose. It is a great place to shop and dine, and enjoy the California sunshine, with palm-tree lined streets, colorful hanging flower pots on lampposts, and plenty of cafes and restaurants with outdoor patios to satisfy any palate.
We decided to have lunch on the outside patio of Meso Modern Mediterranean Cuisine that delivers genuine hospitality, a stunning environment and what is described as a "deliciously curated selection of Mediterranean fare, all in the service of creating a modern oasis at the center of urban life on Santana Row.” They even have a beautiful waterfall fountain and a sculptured frog garden, a hit for kids and adults alike.
Cecile and I shared a Spiced Lamb Flatbread with yogurt, sumac onions, spicy Zhoug, oven roasted tomato, and sprouts; and a bowl of Roasted Carrot and Cucumber Salad with avocado, feta, dill, and dukkah. Meso is one of our top places to go for dinner.
