The Sainte Claire is one of California's genuine grand hotels - a stately hotel with majestic, plush interiors situated in the heart of downtown San Jose.
The Food Il Fornaio has been the location for so many Silicon Valley deals, that it's no wonder folks turn to them for catered events as well. The award-winning breads, the accessible Italian fare and crackerjack service make it a natural for rehearsal dinners or employee picnics. At the core of the menu are antipasti, wood-fired pizzas, housemade pastas and grilled and rotisserie meats. The Scene While they will cater offsite, their 3,425-square-foot meeting space is flexible enough to accommodate a wedding party or corporate fete. The Grand Ballroom, as they call it, can be separated into two rooms, and is connected to a nicely planted courtyard kitted out with white lights. Tips The Hyatt Sainte Claire has lots of pleasant but antiseptic meeting spaces in which Il Fornaio struts its stuff. For small parties, ask instead for the Baker's Room, where the bread and pasta are made. It can fit 25 people.
