check out their 100 best restaurants in SF and surrounding areas and their "Cheap Eats".   "SFGate" is pretty much the same website. Too, too many places to choose from in the Bay Area.............

Here's a link to the SF Chronicle 100 best restaurants article, as previously mentioned by TectorGorch.

In San Jose: Nothing to recommend!

Thank you guys hopefully I'll catch you guys at some of these places

The San Jose area (e.g. south bay area) has a ton of highly rated and Michelin rated restaurants.  

Chez TJ (Mountain View), Le Papillon (San Jose), The Plumed Horse (Los Gatos), LB Steak (Santana Row), Le Foret, The Grill on the Alley (SJ Fairmont), KrungThai are just a few of the Michelin rated restaurants in the south bay.  

I've patronized all of the above and can recommend them highly.
The list is pretty long - consult a Michelin Guide or Zagat to find more.

Cafe Claude has always been a favorite of mine!
