Party of 5 with 5 total entrees and an app. The app (mozzarella) was good, no issues. From the time we got our first entrees to the table, to the final one served, it took about 30 min. So we're just at the table waiting for everyone to be served wondering why someone couldn't organize/time our meals.
The food was decent once we got it all (mostly cold at this point) but wildly disappointing to get the whole table served and enjoy a meal together. I see some good reviews but that was not our experience. It could've been a combination of misses in how the restaurant operated tonight.
Second time coming here. First time wasn't great but not nearly this bad. Maybe they were short staffed or there was no manager on duty but pretty rough. I don't recommend but if you go, prepare to wait.

Two of us went to celebrate a birthday Wednesday night. I had never been, first appearance the restaurant and atmosphere looked inviting. That was until the waitress showed up. At first I thought she was shy as she clearly had not been trained on how to greet customers. I ordered a beer and my friend had a cocktail. Both arrived fairly timely. She took our order with no smile, not very helpful or engaging. That was about the last time we saw her. Food was delivered, we ended up asking a neighboring waitress to bring us water, which she did. After part of the table was cleared (by the other waitress, who didn’t have a heavy accent) she showed back up asking about water. Did not remove any dirty dishes or glasses and left. We ended up chatting for a while at the table, 8:49 pm she walks over and says they are closed and we need to go. I asked her when she thought she might clear the dirty dishes?She took the remaining plates/glasses away and walked off. We start to gather our belongings only to look inside and see 3 tables with people eating and drinking. Our waitress all up in the bartenders face in conversation. The restaurant wasn’t closed. She didn’t say thank you, nothing. Basically, a get out your no longer drinking or eating here “were closed” was a lie. I was in food service for years, she would have been fired on the spot. She was terrible!! It appeared all she cared about was the bartender. Won’t be back.

So glad we stopped here for brunch enroute to Monterey Bay. Eggs benedicts, bellinis and mimosas were delicious and staff was relaxed, attentive, and friendly.

After my motorcycle lessons at Gavilan College, I stopped by and was pleasantly surprised by the amazing menu. I tried a Pacific Dopeness on tap along with the chicken satay. The service and quality were top-notch! I will definitely return for dinner next time.

My husband had the fish and chips. Instead of the heavy coating they used what appeared to be panko bread crumbs. Nice and light not greasy. 2 dripping sauces, tater and cocktail sauce. Lots of light crispy fries and a little coleslaw, Yummy. I did the Hawaiian steak skewers. Hit the mark. Steak medium and juicy. Very tender. Coated in teriyaki sauce. Sides of rice and Hawaiian macaroni. Perfect pairing with great taste and texture. We sat on the patio which was nice but needs a light curtain to block the view of the parking lot. But is was still really enjoyable.

Visited the alehouse on a weekday for dinner. They have happy hour 3-5PM. Food portions we ordered were perfect and tasty. They have a good bar and decent drink options. The ambience was good. The restrooms were clean. The service was good, the staff were friendly. My kids enjoyed the food here.

I had an amazing time here. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. Santana the waiter was very sweet and kind, and Jacob the bartender was very kind and made a very good bloody Mary for my mom! They also were very knowledgeable about the menu! Since it was my first time. It's a place you can go to eat by yourself or bring the family and enjoy a meal out!
Stopped in for lunch on our way through town and the food was spectacular! The Poke bowl was one of the best we have ever had, the truffle mac and cheese was to die for, and the burgers were huge and full of flavor. We were sad that the friend chicken sandwich was no longer on the menu. We definitely would come back!

What a nice treat for gilroy. The food here is hella good! The bulgogi cheesesteak was a hella good twist on a classic. The second time I came here I had the grilled cheese with pork, and that was to die for. I’ve lived/worked in Gilroy for 7 years and you just don’t really find this sort of good food here in town. It’s hard to explain but it just seems a bit elevated from the traditional fare around here. My perfect example would be the onion rings. A relatively pedestrian dish that you can get at many places, but this was the first place I’ve gone to in my life that I’ve been absolutely craving the onion rings from. I can’t wait to continue to try more items on the menu !

Stopping here was a delightful surprise!! The food was incredibly creative and wonderful. The presentation was art. Our server Jacob was phenomenal. The beers on tap were unique and complementary to the dishes. We cannot say enough.
