The story
Augustine is the latest restaurant from Bacchus Management Group, the team behind Michelin-starred The Village Pub and Selby’s, as well as San Francisco’s Spruce. Located on Santana Row in San Jose, the restaurant offers coastal Californian cuisine with clear French and Italian influences. The kitchen focuses on the finest local ingredients, crafting seasonal dishes that feel both refined and approachable.
The dining room and bar welcome reservations and walk-ins alike, with a first-come, first-served bar and a neighboring Cafe Augustine for pastries, coffee, and light fare. The restaurant is open for dinner nightly, weekday lunch, and weekend brunch, with a happy hour running weekdays from 3 to 6 p.m.
Augustine’s wine program has earned a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in 2025, a recognition of its thoughtfully curated list that complements the Mediterranean-leaning menu. The setting is sophisticated yet comfortable—no strict dress code, just an invitation to enjoy well-executed food and drink.
Whether you’re stopping in for a leisurely brunch, a business lunch, or a celebratory dinner, Augustine delivers a consistently polished experience rooted in California’s bounty and European culinary traditions.
