Arcadia is located in the Marriott in downtown San Jose. It is a Michael Mina restaurant. As we have eaten in several Michael Mina restaurants - Aqua and Michael Mina in SF, Michael Mina in LAS - and always had excellent/outstanding meals, this seemed like a logical choice, since we had tickets to a show at the Performing Arts Center right across the street.

Forget it. While there was nothing really wrong, the whole meal was totally ordinary, from salads to entrees to desserts. With several excellent restaurants in downtown SJ, there is just no reason to pay Michael Mina prices for standard food.
