Chez TJ Mountain View Reviews from The Last Year
Living on the Peninsula all my life, has jaded me from
Living on the Peninsula all my life, has jaded me from seeking out Michelin starred restaurants except only on anniversaries and milestone birthdays. So, on my 28th Anniversary (one that is usually forgotten), I made a reservation for my husband and I at Chef TJ's. Here is a case of fine dining on the Peninsula that I have been remiss in experiencing. To atone, I will write a review which I hope will prod others into trying a place that has been around forever, is Michelin starred and is a unique, exquisite, and flavorful without the pretension of trying too hard. Chez TJ's offers one contemporary French, six course tasting menu, and the reasonable price of $125. They also have a weeknight four course menu at a lesser price. After dinner there on Saturday, I am looking forward to trying their weeknight offering. The dinner we had included food so delectable and fresh, I was surprised and delighted. Stan Michalski (an alumni of Quince) is the Executive Chef. His discernment and acumen are perfect for the space and audience. I anticipate only progress of the precision of his palette. From amuse bouche to entrée, Chef Michalski's courses were so flavorful and exquisitely presented that for a moment Iwas not looking out onto a street in Mountain View but transported to a restaurant in Napa or SF. The Australian Wagyu course was luxuriant and flavorful with a broth to meld the meat flavors together. Heavenly! Christine Johansen is the Pastry Chef. At a time when most restaurants are cutting back on even having a Pastry Chef, Ms. Johansen is a well-acknowledged addition. The delightful strawberry cheesecake dessert was so fragrant with fresh strawberries that it really knocked me out when it was set in front of me. And the additional chocolate and ice cream pastry course particularly welcome to my husband--a lover of rich desserts. Go to Chef TJ's and try them on any occasion. You will not be disappointed, and you will also skip a drive to SF or Napa.
Great dinner with the family for a birthday.
It's literally in a house so it felt somewhat cramped but the food was incredible and would highly recommend

We went here for Valentine's Day, and could not have been more impressed. A cute home converted into an upscale restaurant made for a romantic homie ambience. Service is formal and attentive. The menu was an inventive journey of courses which they made vegetarian for me.
A little cute house in downtown Mountain View.
Looks very cozy from outside. This is my second time going there. This time we had Stan the new chef who started in January this year. Chef is very stiff and no personality towards customers, he showed up at our table for the first course (out of 6) and said something about the dish in a monotone voice, or maybe he was tired at 6:30pm? Who knows? Staffs are everywhere, friendly, typical of high end restaurant, attentive, and explained everything. Food is great with one exception of the beef that I thought didn't go too well with the green sauce.
We recently celebrated a family birthday at Chez TJ and had
We recently celebrated a family birthday at Chez TJ and had a wonderful experience. Unlike at other Michelin rated restaurants I have eaten at, I found the atmosphere very warm and we felt like part of the Chez TJ family. All the interactions with the wait staff felt authentic and personal instead of the 'scripted' service we have received at other places. And George, the owner, even spent some time with us and shared stories about the founding of his restaurant; we all loved it and made our time special. But now to the food: Simply put, it was delicious. I had heard good things about the new chef Stan before we went, and he and his team really delivered. Every course was a piece of art and firework of tastes. We had so much fun talking about all the flavors each of us tasted. Lastly, a word about the wine pairing, which I definitely recommend. We had a beautiful German Riesling and I texted the label to my dad in Germany, who is a wine aficionado. And even he was impressed about the quality being served: the GG on the label stands for 'Grosses Gewächs', the highest quality of wine made in Germany. In conclusion: Great job team Chez TJ, keep up the good work!!
Great service and romantic ambiance.
Prep yourself before coming here, especially when doing tasting menu. Wagyu is extra fee on the tasting menu and i was expecting it to be very good but it was on the salty side, rest of the menu were great (from bread /appetizer/dishes of rabbit/elk&dessert).Paid total of $1200+ for 3 person (could have gone to French Laundry lol). From my standpoint the price is way to high for whats being offered. Plenty of Parking spot accross the street though.
Very intimate and romantic.
Food was amazing as well. Service was on point as you should expect it to be. Was a 2 hour tasting menu, and it was delicious. The wagyu was the highlight of the meal. Truffles were a little underwhelming but not enough to take off a star. Worth every penny.
Earlier this month I had an amazing dining experience at
Earlier this month I had an amazing dining experience at Chez TJ. I was accompanied by my daughter, sister and brother in law. We were celebrating my daughter's 30th birthday. Chef Stan delivered an outstanding variety of tasty dishes, one after the other. We were each very pleased with our food. The ambiance in the fireplace room was so warm and cozy. The service, impeccable. A lovely spot for any special occasion. Can't wait to go again!
Had a lovely birthday dinner for my dear friend here.
As expected at a Michelin restaurant, the service was excellent and the food tasty. When dining here your only option is the chef tasting menu localized based on what is in season- we were here on a winter's evening. Since we were celebrating, they provided us with an extra dessert and the red carpet treatment. The main course venison was the star of the show and we upgraded to truffle risotto which was divine. Another favorite dish was the rabbit. The desserts were also exceptional. Didn't quite get to 5 stars as the service was at times slower than it needed to be, and not all the courses blew us away but we had an amazing experience here and would highly recommend for a special occasion if you have the means.
We had fish, beef, two rounds of dessert, and more.
Yummyyy. I was 100% full, food just the perfect amount. Pairing was great too. Seafood going with salt, sweet with sweet. The glass with the steak was full and oaked. The place was quiet with light music, decorated in a European style with abstract paintings. Candles on the table. Compared to the Michelin 1 star french cuisine I had in SF last year, this one in the southbay exceeded my expectation by so much!
Amazing service, delicious food.
2.5 hours for tasting menu. Supplements: truffle risotto and wagyu steak
Went for my mom's birthday.
Added in the truffle risotto. Overall would recommend; I think the food was very innovative and extremely tasty. Maybe a bit pricey, but that's the cost of Michelin French food. Will be back as their menu changes; would highly recommend
Visit Chez TJ the day before Thanksgiving.
Nice location and decoration style. Staff are super friendly. Food is pretty good, especially the American wangu and fish. It's a good place to enjoy vacation. Would recommend it to friends.
Terrible food / Waste of money
We had high hopes dining at this Michelin star restaurant but were left scratching our heads for the utterly disappointing experience that we had. The two stars given is only for the wait staff which were pleasant and provided great service but the food was as terrible, and inedible as it comes. Every item was either extremely salty or sweet. There wasn't even one delightful bite throughout the course of their mystery menu! I think they know that the food is not edible so as part of the main course they bring a thick slice of bread to ensure you don't leave the restaurant starving. The plates and serving dishes were scratched, the cutlery is procured second hand from a hotel in Paris. All in all, in our opinion this place is not worthy to call itself Michelin star and we have dined in quite a few. Save your money as there are many other options / choices of restaurants in the bay area that leave you in awe of their food and extraordinary experience. Will not be returning to give this place a second chance. Utterly a waste of money!
The Restaurant Does Not Live up to the Michelin Star - Not Recommended.
When a restaurant proudly displays the red 2022 Michelin star hanging on the wall, we as guests are reminded that we are in for a culinary experience. The red plaque conjures a particular picture of excellence and expectation for the experience to be had. Instead walking away disappointed after spending $750 for two (Dinner, one drink each, coffee, and sparkling water) is not what we had in mind after three hours as guests. The restaurant adds a 20% service charge and various other fees including health fees (they charge extra for keeping the restaurant clean). Small details matter – we had clearly requested an outside table for our special occasion, which was clearly ignored. We ended up sitting outside but the oversight was the first unpleasant experience of the evening. white serving dishes and plates were severely scratched up, coffee mugs were mismatched with the rest of the service plates, the sugar holder was totally out of place, and the sugar cube tongue looked like it was purchased from the 99-cent store. My coffee mug had a visible crack/chip on the lip. The Christofle Hotel, France silverware was severely used and were entirely scratched. We asked for a cappuccino and were told that the milk frother is out of order. It was not becoming of a Michelin-rated restaurant. The two stars belong to the service staff only. They are friendly, cordial, knowledgeable, attentive, and very capable. The food presentation was decent, but the items offered were either salty or very sweet; they were on the two extremes of the spectrum where they needed to be. For example, the souffle under the caviar was too salty as caviar is generally salty by nature; there was no balance. The chicken liver mousse was pungent and did not taste fresh to me. The elk was tasty but for the love of God, why would you cut that meat with the grain? The Frisee with Umeboshi vinaigrette was unbearably salty, neither one of us could eat it (and I like my food on the salty side). The desserts were nicely presented, but the sweets were too sweet. Salty caramel was too salty; I did a very small tasting and I love salty caramel. What else can I say? We might have caught them on an inopportune evening; however, the Michelin Stared restaurant cannot afford a bad day.
Amazing
Amazing dinner. The food was over the top. The service was perfect. The elk for my main hands down the best I’ve ever had. It’s pricey but you very much get what you pay for.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
