Regulars at Our House, a popular San Jose eatery, say that there's a lot to love about this place. First of all, it's committed to serving locally-sourced, sustainably-grown, GMO-free foods. This also means the menu changes with the seasons, so you'll always find something new and exciting on the menu.

Chef Ladas leads the kitchen team in preparing fresh, inspiring entrees, like organic lamp chops with leeks and goat cheese, or the Greek-inspired plate that pairs crispy, golden falafel balls with tangy tzatziki sauce, roasted red peppers, and organic mixed greens. The menu even includes an entire section devoted to French fries (try the curried sweet potato fries with coconut dipping sauce if you want something truly unique). The restaurant itself is bright, open, and airy, with plenty of natural light, wooden table tops, and tile floors, and you can even grab a seat outdoors when the weather's nice.
