“Scopazzi’s has long since been a favorite venue for the BCBA to host events. From dinner/auction fundraisers to roundtable meetings to lunch meetings and now our 1st annual community planning event. They knocked it out of the park today for the CPE! Thank you to Talal and all of the staff!“

“Love everything here, Janeen is my favorite. She is always so nice and attentive. Get the artichoke lasagna for sure.“

“Ok so I'm guessing if you go early before the dinner rush on Fridays you'll get better service, also it seems they have music on Thursday's so maybe consider that if you're able to. The upstairs terrace is the place to be. I really enjoyed the atmosphere especially the vault bar and the outside balcony lounge/terrace. The food is pricey but its the ambiance your paying for. Oh I also recommend the big bloody!“

“Our family of 5 went to celebrate my twins birthday. Our server Timmy was very kind and friendly. At the end of dinner he brought over separate desserts for each of my twins mentioning that they probably wouldn't want to share their dessert since they were already sharing their birthday as twins. That was very thoughtful of him! Overall had a great time celebrating . The service and food was good!“

“Love this place great people work here. Miss all you.“

“BurerBots is located inside First Born, and hence the atmosphere is very decent. A live DJ plays music, a memorable list of cocktails is available, and the table service is full.

The burger was very decent, contrary to my original expectation :) The patty was juicy, the buns were soft, and the packaging was also very cute. I would definitely visit this place again with my kids.“

“I always love my experience here at The Diner of Los Gatos when I come into the area to visit family. We come here every time, a tradition. The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly and it’s a fun place to bring my grandson.“

“Apparently there is an egg dish I never knew I needed in my life: Turkish Eggs, poached and served over herb flavored yogurt with spicy oil. The poached eggs were the perfect texture, the yogurt was delicious, although the spicy oil drizzle could have been more spicy. It’s a nice light breakfast dish that I would love to experiment with. The menu here is quite varied, the latte we ordered was pretty good too. We sat outside in the sun on a crisp winter morning, it’s a joy. Will be back to try other things.“

“Really nice place to grab a delicious breakfast sandwich. I had a sandwich with scrambled eggs, avocado,and bacon. Sounds pretty simple but it was delicious.

I had a nice long conversation with a friend while enjoying our breakfast and coffee. Clean bathrooms, friendly efficient staff, good food and coffee drinks.“

“Best experience and I highly recommend“

“My family and i arrive to this location and they bring to us Hot meal they have Friendly servers they always smile they are kind with our kids. My omelette was utterly delicious i going to cone back this location in a good spot. in santa cruz. thanks for everything“

“Love coming to Haggin Oaks to visit MacKenzie’s for the food. Steak salad is the healthy option for me. Ribeye steak sandwich is also a great choice. My wife always appreciates the wonderful service that Tresa provides. Yes, menu prices are higher, but blame it on Dimensia Joe and our own failure, Gavin Newscum for making it tough for any business to survive in beautiful California.“

“Such a good and relaxing atmosphere! Everyone is nice!“

“We had a Large “Classic”pizza, it was delicious,“

“The food was just as impressive as the atmosphere. The menu had a variety of options from juicy burgers and crispy wings to fresh salads and hearty sandwiches. I tried their signature wings, and they were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat. The drinks menu was also diverse, offering everything from craft beers to creative cocktails, perfect for game-day celebrations!! The beers are colder here than Alaska.“

“Over in San Francisco from Perth Australia and popped in for a couple of beers, awesome spot and great beers, staff were super friendly and even grabbed some merch, get yourselves over and support these guys and have a cracking pint or four“

“This is the place to be for delicious food and cocktails! As you sit in the newly renovated restaurant and bar, watching the teams of golfers swinging away in the background.“

“My favourite dining hall at UCSC! Nothing will beat the gorgeous view at the Cowell/Stevenson Dining Hall. I wish they had more halal options and a greater variety of food, but it does the job! Would highly recommend getting food here pre-sunset, and to bask in the view whilst sitting on the balcony - alone and with friends.“

“Kitchen staff leaves PROMPTLY at 10pm so dont expect any food or dessert after 10. Additionally, the internet states the establishment closes at 11pm. Although the staff (they told us) has been told repeatedly that the closing time is incorrect, no one has bothered to correct it. Wait staff is lackadaisical. They did not communicate last call on cocktails or offer dessert prior to kitchen close.“

“Love this cute brunch spot in downtown. Always great food, great service and good options to pick from. They always accommodate any changes or requests and go out of their way to make it happen. I have here a few time already and will be going again! Love it!“

“Had a great experience at Oak & Rye - this place is perfect for a date night.

The food is consistently excellent, especially their pasta. The gnocchi is honestly one of the best I’ve had across the Bay Area - perfectly cooked, rich, and super satisfying. Their pizzas are just as impressive: well-cooked, flavorful, and made with great ingredients. Dessert panna cotta was a great way to end the meal.

What really stands out is the service. The staff is incredibly kind and accommodating. I once called in because I was running late for my reservation, and they happily adjusted it by 15 minutes without any hassle. They’re always courteous and go out of their way to make your experience great, including accommodating small customizations to suit your preferences.

The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a place you’ll want to come back to again and again. On top of that, the pricing feels very reasonable for the quality of food and service you get.

Overall, it’s a must-visit spot in Los Gatos—highly recommended!“

“Best Smoked Crispy Pata (which has to be ordered ahead) and cornbread! Chef adds his special ingredients to the dishes and the taste is out of this world! This restaurant is a must try for all you foodies.“

“My friend got the California burger with a side salad, and I got the bacon and blue, but instead of blue cheese, I got pepper jack with a side of fries. And my oh my.... it was sooooooo good! The balsamic drizzle was delicious with the burger.“

“Love this place, they've done a really good job with the swim club and the restaurant is great... such a great addition to the community, thanks guys!“

“It’s the best restaurant experience in Los Gatos. The food, ambiance, experience is amazing!!“

“We had an outdoor experience (breakfast-enjoyed the steak and eggs and hamburger with truffle fries). The sun is out the day enjoyed a couple of drinks. The service was nice, but there were a couple misses such as drinks not being delivered or not being refilled. We were able to stay until the mid afternoon and enjoy a wonderful view.“
