Every course arrived in its own miniature world, with custom ceramics and sculptural serving pieces that extend the story beyond the food itself.

Hidden inside Tasting House Los Gatos is Vicinity, an intimate 13-course tasting menu experience. And it’s already earned a spot in the Michelin guide.

Much of Chef Julian Silvera’s menu is a celebration of California’s coastlines and forests.

The international wine pairing was equally thoughtful and beautifully matched.

My only complaint? It’s a bit of a drive from San Francisco. But for a meal like this, the journey is part of the experience.

生活是沒有辦法被安排的

Life can’t really be planned.
I used to find this deeply saddening.
No one in this world chooses to be born.
But if you believe that destiny will watch over you,
only then will you realize just how fortunate it is to be alive.
