“Basque style tapas (pintxos) in a stylish little restaurant. What’s not to like? Stop in for a couple of small bites and a drink like a Spaniard would, or have dinner.”
“The dinner was amazing the chef really knows what he is doing- the sauces omg divine. The staff was charming and friendly the ambiance of the place cozy and elegant, pleasant but not overwhelming music and of course wonderful wine. We will definitely be coming back and only regret not having come sooner!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Best food and service we have had since pre Covid!! Very refreshing experience!!! Will definitely come back!”
“Very tasty food (amazing focaccia!), but the highlight is the wine. I'm a wine collector and enjoy a lot of Italian wines, but they always have interesting stuff, and I surrender myself to the owner's recommendations. Haven't gone wrong yet. Delicious Etna Rosso tonight.”

“If I’m in the mood for Pho or a Banh mi, this is the first place I head to. The broth of the pho is rich, flavorful and has clearly been simmering for hours. The Banh mi are made with the correct crunchy French bread, giving you a real substantial sandwich to wrap your lips around. The vegetables are always super fresh and crunchy too.”
“I wanted to share a wonderful experience we had at your restaurant tonight, thanks in large part to the young man who greeted us at the door. From the very first moment, he was genuinely warm and welcoming, not in a rehearsed way, but with a sincerity that immediately put us at ease. He was attentive to our needs and took the time to find us a table in a spot where we could relax and enjoy our meal. It was clear that he cared about making sure we had a good experience, and that thoughtfulness made all the difference. What stood out most was his positive attitude and genuine enthusiasm for his work. It's rare to encounter someone who brings such energy and kindness to their role, and it truly enhanced our evening. As we were leaving, he and another receptionist both happily thanked us and wished us a good night. That kind of genuine warmth has become so rare nowadays, and it meant a lot to us. Their friendliness was the perfect ending to a lovely meal. Please pass along our appreciation to these two wonderful young people. Employees like these are an asset to your team and deserve to be recognized. Thumbs up!”
“Great place for corporate events! Our team attended IBASV's bocce ball tournament last week and the food/atmosphere were great!”

“This was a recommendation from the cashier at Mikes bikes. Absolutely spot on! After a day riding the trails the perfect solution to my hunger pangs. A truly hearty sandwich. Steak sandwich with bacon and provolone. Photo gives a better description. Huge. Tasty! $17. I don't know if the pricing is standard, never having had an American lunch sandwich before, it really was well worth it”

“Sandwich was great; however, wasn't made according to the order. The receipt had specifics on it that were all missed. (Easy ones like remove an ingredient and add extra of something).
Did like everything else inducing the pickle jar!
Might want to call instead of doing online order if pre-order to ensure if you have a small change from the sandwich that is on the menu.”
“The Out of the Barrel taproom is IMO the best place for ales, IPA’s, sours, porters and more in Los Gatos. There is a large board clearly listing the beers and helpful bartenders that can guide you to the right tipple. The patio area is nice but can get hot during mid summer. My only real complaint is the food. It’s just simple baked items that aren’t very flavorful. I’d like to see something fresh on the menu.”
“Loma Brewing was an awesome place to have our party. Their food was delicious, the space was fabulous and the staff were incredible. They were so easy to work with and made the planning and day of so easeful. I felt so supported. I highly recommend them for events and also just a night out!
Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie options”

“Had my engagement party here in early December 2025 and it was a hit! While email correspondence was sometimes slow, everything was in order when we got there on the day and the team at Hapa's were all really kind, accommodating, and fun! I was able to rent out the inside portion of the brewery, decorate, and choose my own music. The brews are always great, and the food was good. Everything went smoothly on the day of, and I still get compliments from friends and family on how it was a great place for our party. Highly recommend renting it out if you're looking for a place to celebrate an event!”

“We went for after dinner cocktails to celebrate a friends birthday. I made a reservation ahead of time, but they book up early, so reserve early. I did need a better time and called and they were able to accommodate us and made the change. Super glad I called and asked. Cocktails are really good. The atmosphere is great. It’s dark, quiet, romantic. We all had a version of an espresso martini. One had a regular one, which came with a toasted marshmallow. She loved it. The rest of us had a special that was a pumpkin flavored espresso martini. It was so good. It had some sweetness with the crème, delicious pumpkin flavored espresso martini oh so good! Cocktails run about $20-$22 each. Not much for food here. They had caviar, chips, nuts, and Something else. We did not order food.
I would recommend it to try at least once. Great date night cocktail, great for a friend meet up.”
“My first impression off the bat wasn’t the greatest the wait time was over an hour and a half for a walk in (Make sure to do a reservation)….. BUT the service that was provided by Zoe and Keegan was absolutely exceptional!!! I would definitely recommend this place more due to the service they both had given our table! I’ve never experienced anything like this before! They both ensured to go above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy and satisfied with everything! They both definitely deserve a raise and kudos! The pricing is high for what it is and if you’re looking for a pizza with no flop this is definitely NOT the place! However the Goomba pizza was full of flavor and that was the better of the two we picked. The Margarita pizza could definitely be better. It lacked a lot of flavor and I used some hot honey to revive it, so that helped a lot! The ambiance feels very cozy and the look of the place is very nice! I’ll definitely come back to give the place another shot because the service was again out of this world and there is two more pizzas that I wanna try (Scotty 2 Hottie & The Jerk). I would definitely consider this place, but again keep in mind the pizzas aren’t crispy if that’s what you’re looking for.

“I wish I would’ve taken pictures of the food. It looked so good so we just started eating right away and I forgot. We got the samosas, Papadum, quinoa salad, and vegan veggie korma. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful! I also am not good with spicy, and so they were very good to make sure that the entrée we ordered was mild. We can’t wait to come back and try other things.”
“Wonderful evening learning about some great wines that accompanied the menu so well. Ever item was delicious! The cheese board, prosciutto bruschetta, pizza, carbonara and caesar salad were the perfect dishes to share for the table. And we took a few bottles home to enjoy! We can't wait to go back!”
“Missy was amazing. We went wine tasting on Monday 2/9. We had a reservation at 4pm (the location closes at 5pm). When we got there our 3month old had a some needs (say food before mommy drinks and let’s just say an urgent outfit change was needed). Missy not only gave us a great private room to feed but also stayed in later to give us an amazing tasting experience. She was knowledgable about the wine and gave us a taste of some other wines that were open. As for the quality of the wine lets just say I bought 3 bottles of wine and 2 where white wine and Im not even a white wine drinker (for reference I have over 250 bottles in my cellar). Thank you Missy for a great experience!”
“We had excellent service for our large party of 10. Our server, Westin, was wonderful. We were there to celebrate my daughter’s big 30! We all had a wonderful time, food was exceptional and so was the service.”

“Gardino's is my go-to restaurant in downtown Los Gatos. Their pastas are amazing - the meat sauce is delicious and the marinara is equally great. I just had their minestrone (vegetable) for the first time and was so pleasantly impressed - house-made with lots of vegetables and just the right amount of ditalini rigati pasta. I had that as part of the ravioli lunch special. Overall a wonderful place for lunch or dinner.”

“Last evening had a real craving for a classic banana split. Drove to the nearby BR and was able to create my special ice cream sundae. The split banana was placed in the dish and I chose cherry jubilee, fresh peach, and chocolate fudge ice cream scoops. Pineapple, strawberry, and hot fudge toppings were added next. Finally, chopped nuts, whipped cream, and maraschino cherries were piled high on my creation. A sight to behold! I feared a sugar overload, but still I ate the whole thing! Yum! 😜🤪🤣🥴👍❤️❤️❤️”
“Hole in the wall spot with friendly service and good food for a good price.
I usually stop by once a week or so for one of the dinner plates that comes with rice and soup for around $15. Lots of options like beef and broccoli, kung pao chicken and more traditional Chinese dishes as well”
“stopped to grab a little something and I immediately fell in love with the service. The lovely woman was super nice and the food was delicious the red salsa is so spicy but so delicious!!, she even throws in a little mint and a toothpick, and she speaks English and Spanish!! I’m coming here again.”
“Erik’s Deli in Los Gatos is consistently outstanding. The food is always fresh, delicious, and satisfying, but what truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service. Rene, in particular, goes above and beyond to make customers feel welcome. She takes the time to learn and remember names, creating a warm, personalized experience that’s rare to find these days. With so many dining options around, it’s that kind of genuine customer service that keeps me coming back. Highly recommend!”

“I love the burgers and my wife loves the chicken sandwich. The food is verrry good. The only complaint I have is that sometimes I get cold soggy fries which is due to the workers pre making the little bags of fries and they just sit on the service line. If they are fresh, the garlic fries are the way to go with the brown sugar lemonade.”
“Today's sandwich is not as good. The bread was completely dry and not soft like in the past. The cucumbers were completely stale and bitter. We basically extracted out all the produce from our Family size sandwich and chucked the bread along with cucumber. Even with price increased from $21 to $27 and finally $37. It was not palatable. Sorry you lost me.
Vegetarian options: There are basically 3 sandwiches now our favorite has been #21, but today was not just right with day and aired out bread with stale, bitter cucumbers”
“I love this Starbucks location it always has good music playing and great location. I love Jenn the Manager because she is so personable and always says hi to me. Then the Barista Lucia is really nice and friendly. I highly recommend this location plus there is always parking.”
“This is my favorite spot for a sandwich and some coffee especially after a morning hike. My go-to recommendation is the Breakfast BLT. The bacon on it is mouthwatering delicious!! I’ve taken multiple friends and family here and they’ve all become fans too. If you’re already exploring Los Gatos, Purple Onion Café is absolutely worth the pit-stop.”
“I had such a great experience at Pressed Juicery! I’d been seeing them all over social media and was so excited to finally try, but honestly I didn’t know where to start. Thankfully, Romel came to the rescue! He was so helpful, knowledgeable, and patient with all my questions. He walked me through the different options, encouraged me to sign up for the VIP program, and even suggested I download the app to make things easier. Thanks to him, what started as an overwhelming experience turned into a fun and seamless one. Overall, 10/10 — I’ll definitely be back! Huge thank you to Romel for all the help!”
“This was a lovely experience!! Celebrated our 8yr olds birthday here. The place is so welcoming and food was delicious! The sexy roll/ hamachi carpaccio , big bang were some of our favs. The staff from the chefs to servers made this a wonderful experience !!”
“Good place to eat especially as it is downtown near the Best Western where we often stay.
The food is good Thai. We like it.
Not too expensive and large servings too.”

“Petals Creamery is not your average ice cream shop. Their handcrafted ice cream is so tasty and don’t forget to top it off with some Turkish coffee. With a palette of pastel pinks and mint greens that dress the walls, the upbeat music and the costumers, make it the perfect place to go for an evening Turkish delight. Enjoy!”
“This spot used to be on Hillsdale and Ross. They moved. It’s been my favorite place for several years now. Definitely my favorite Mexican food spot in Los Gatos now. I like it better than Donia Maria. Food is fresh, delicious and service is awesome. Salsa bar is excellent.”

“Best cocktail bar in the South Bay!”
