We hold 146 venues in San Jose, CA and could score 18 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 = sourcing 0.0/50 (named-farm 0 distinct, named-region 0 distinct, attribute 0 distinct, buzzword 0 distinct) + farm partners 0.0/20 (none scored) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.0/18 (capped at 35% of the 0.0-point evidence base).
Buzzwords only. This venue uses sourcing language ("farm-fresh", "locally sourced") but names no farms, regions, or verifiable attributes.

“Not listed” means the day was absent from the schedule we read — usually closed, but we never saw it stated, so we don’t claim it.
Overlapping time blocks on the page were rejected rather than merged (likely happy-hour/bar hours): wednesday 11:00-20:00 (overlaps 11:00-14:00); thursday 11:00-20:00 (overlaps 11:00-14:00)
