Everyone is loving DoubleTree by Hilton San Jose‘s Summer Movie Nights on Wednesday and Friday nights! Make it a “in-town” night out like the reviewer below! Hope to see you at our next movie nights on Friday, July 20th!
Reviewed July 1, 2012
We read that the doubletree showed movies out by the pool on Fridays, so we decided to make an “in-town” night of it. I had Hilton points to spend, so all it cost us was the valet parking.
The rooms are spacious, very comfortable beds, two sinks. We had a tiny balcony overlooking the pool. In fact, I had requested a room with a view of the movie screen, and we got it! We watched the film, Rat Race, without leaving our room: perfect view, sound was just right. What great service!
In the evening, after dinner in Japan town, and the movie, we popped into Club Max, their on-site nightclub (no cover before 10 pm). They had a surprisingly good live band, “Sexy Back” that evening. versatile, not too loud (could talk without straining), nice little dance floor, dark corners to snuggle in, a real find!
Found a classic diner nearby (4th St Bowl) for breakfast. Everything very close, San Jose airport right next door, yet not noisy. Hot tub, pool. Yummy chocolate chip cookies at the front desk.
Overall, a great night on the town.

Tomato-Zucchini Gratin
July 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment
This month’s focus at Spencer’s for Steaks and Chops, located inside the DoubleTree by Hilton San Jose, is Tomatoes! This fresh and delicious vegetable can be used in many dishes and can make any meal leave you feeling healthy and full.
For a light entree on a summer night, this dish is just the ticket. Salting and draining the zucchini and tomatoes before baking prevents them from releasing excess moisture as they bake, so the gratin stays firm, not soggy.
Use a paella pan or cast iron pan.
Sweet Vadalia onion ring slices on a nice drizzle of olive oil
Sliced zucchini
Handful of Romano cheese spread all over
Toasted Italian bread crumbs spread about
Small cherry tomatoes placed all around
Leek (optional)
Drizzle with olive oil
More cheese
More breadcrumbs
Repeat!
Garnish with fresh snipped basil
Place in a hot oven at 425 till tender and crispy and the tomatoes pop and get caramelized, you could even place it under the broiler at the end to crisp up the top more.
