Lunch @ Sonoma Chicken Coop Skyport

Today was very nice day. The San Jose weather was warm and sunny outside. It was great to have a nice lunch at Sonoma Chicken Coop at San Jose. It was quite today since today was the weekend. However, this place is packed during weekdays with engineers.


If you have not been to Sonoma Chicken Coop, then you should definitely try it out and wash it down it Stella Artois. It is a great pairing of savory chicken with a delicious beer. We order the Lime Grilled Chicken and Skillet Chicken Carbonara. I will definitely come back and try different items off the menu (http://www.sonomachicken.com/menu).
