For Inna's birthday, I made reservations at the famous Michelin 1-star Chez TJ restaurant in Mountain View for Friday, February 23, at 19:30.
We were provided multiple wine menus after arriving and sitting at our table. After some discussions with the waiter, we select a half bottle of Vouvray. We had always loved Vouvray after spending some time in the Loire region of France.
Chez TJ is a contemporary French cuisine restaurant in one of Mountain View, CA's most historic Victorian homes. Originally built circa 1894, the structure was home to Julius and Fanny Weilheimer. Julius was a Vice President of the Mountain View Farmers and Merchant’s Bank as well as a member of the town Council. In the early 1980s, George Aviet and Thomas J. McCombie acquired the property and served their first dinner on November 26, 1982.
