Name This Restaurant in San Jose

I went to a place called Il Fornaio (I think) in the ground floor of the St Clare in San Jose. It was superb Northern Italian and I was very impressed.  But I do not remember the sorbet.

San Jose, IMHO, has more than its share of
fine northern Italian restaurants.  there is sone
in the ground floor of an office building,
say three blocks from the St. Clare, that is
also superb.  Can't think of that name, either.

Not much help, heh?

The restaurant is the -Les Saisons- in the Fairmont Hotel in downtown San Jose.  Actually the swan had a hole cut-out in the center into which the bulb and battery were placed (the waiter showed it to us).
