Restaurants in Los Gatos

“Really wonderful ambiance, Charles is a great waiter, the service and food is wonderful. If you are into desserts, the beignets are epic. EPIC!”

“Impeccable service, striking a perfect balance of warmth, professionalism, and attentiveness.

The staff demonstrated an encyclopedic knowledge of the menu & wine list (thnx Sean)

The cuisine was nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish was a masterclass in flavor, texture, and presentation, showcasing the chef’s innovative touch & traditional experience.”

“Exceptional service. At the start of our meal Michael asked everyone seated if we had any food allergies and then crafted all of our dishes around that. Every dish was presented with dedicated beauty and integrity to the food. Delicious food happens here 💖💖”

“Years ago I worked in downtown San Jose across the street from Sourdough Eatery. It has been a legend for decades, serving up warm crusty sourdough filled with delicious sandwich fixings. I have traveled near and far over the last nearly 50 years and have rarely found anything that rivals. Freshly Baked, across from St James Park downtown came on the scene just in time to meet my warm, sourdough cravings while I worked at SJSU. Now I find you, CRUST. Just down the hill and a few blocks from where I lived for 40 years, but alas... I have moved out of the area and discovered you while visiting. I'm here to tell all of you locals, THIS PLACE IS A GEM!! I walked right in today, placed my order and within minutes had in my hands an absolutely delicious warm crusty sourdough sandwich filled with lean pastrami, cheese and the rest that make a perfect sandwich!”

“Delicious food, fabulous staff. A must try”

“Best food and service we have had since pre Covid!! Very refreshing experience!!! Will definitely come back!”

“I attended a Chemex Kenz coffee tasting and love their Hambala. Their love and passion for coffee translates in the quality of their beans. I’m glad I can also enjoy their brew at Sue’s Cafe in Downtown Saratoga.”

“The food was good. The fried chicken po boy was awesome”

“Outstanding food and service. Highly recommend as the best Italian Restuarant in the Bay Area”

“Always good service, and the food is outstanding every time.”

“Good food. We ordered medium spicy but could have gone spicier. Lunch comes with Naan and Rice. Pakoras are included for lunch orders as appetizers. The Raita has sugar in it. They have interesting Vegan dishes such as Vegan butter Chick'n where the "Chicken" is made with soy strips.”

“Meet our daughter and son-in-law for breakfast. 1st time for all. Was a VERY delicious entree’s; home made corn beef hash, coffee cake, etc… awesome experience. Will be a place to go to again. Thank you for great Staff, too.”

“Best cocktail bar in the South Bay!”

“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”

“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.”

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

“Great place overall. Very family friendly location with a good selection of food and drinks. Nice outside patio with a view facing the mountains. Absolutely love this spot for a cool and relaxing refreshment. The vibe is also super mellow here.”

“Good steak 🥩 and pleasant atmosphere.”

“bonito lugar excelente atención”

“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.”

“We wanted to spend our Father's Day Brunch Shepherd & Sims, but a lot of the time we were searching for a server for our table. Not sure why, but the server took a long time to arrive at our table. We felt ignored. Finally someone in a suit (looked like the manager) stopped by to pour water into our water glasses, and said, "Let me get you a server." When the server arrived it took a long time for us to get our drinks. My father-in-law asked for some coffee. He had to get another server to get him the coffee, and when he did, it was cold, diluted, and it was obvious that it was the last 8oz from that coffee pot. The assigned server then got another pot of coffee and it was fine after that. We also had to ask twice that we wanted a side of mustard for my father-in-law's burger. It all ended up being okay, but we felt ignored for the most part. We love the food at Shepherd & Sims, but wish that the topic of conversation wasn't about the lukewarm service. Bummer.”

“Love the bar and good eats!”

“Best experience and I highly recommend”

“The crostini sampler was 🤌🏽🤌🏽. The place was a little quiet on Monday nite.. probably because the warriors playoff game was on at the same time. The food was very fresh and flavorful... will definitely come back to try more menu items!”

“Called in to place an order no answer, in a katrillion yrs would have never expected a call back in seconds!!! Might be a Mr.pickle thing but that's 5 star service!!”

“Haven’t had the desserts yet, but I loved the whole wheat and Lepain loaves. Nice that they will slice the loaves for you if you like!”

“Tasty brick oven pizza and fresh salads
This place was great! They have a big brick oven in the restaurant, and the pizza was really good. I usually like a super crispy crust, but theirs still tasted great. The arugula salad and shaved Brussels sprouts were fresh and light, really nice. The place is kid-friendly, which made it easy for the whole family to enjoy.”

“We’ve been to this places twice for wine tasting in the past but the bistro didn’t open at that time. So we went on Sunday for special Mother’s Day brunch and give it a try. My sister is their member so we can order five different entries from their set menu. We had Shakshuka , Benedict eggs, avocado and salmon with bread , duck fried rice and special charcuterie.
The taste of all dishes are amazing. The duck meat is very well seasoned so it is not gamey at all .Shakshuka tastes like the one we had in Jerusalem.
Nice and friendly service. We can’t wait to come back again for their regular meal.”

“The menu offered a great range of options and everything I tried was delicious! My table received great service and dishes were thoughtfully and beautifully plated! The Belfiore Burrata plate was so good we ordered another, my friend’s bone marrow toast was delicate and flavorful, the huevos rancheros tostada was awesome and had really good salsa, and the hot chocolate was perfect finishing off our brunch. The passion fruit-guava mimosa was also great! There was live music, plenty of seating and parking, and this is a beautiful location. Overall, a great experience! I’m excited to come back!”

“Suicide Chicken Baby! It's to die for....”

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

“Our server Kristen was fabulous. We hadn't been to Willow Street in ages, and we had a wonderful family meal to celebrate a birthday. Highly recommend the Pistachio Spaghetti and the Vodka Prawns.”

“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 family and I stopped by this restaurant on New Years Eve. They offered a special menu on this day. We ordered the Tomahawk Paella, Jamon Iberico and a few other Tapas (nothing special). My favorite was the Jamon Iberico.
The Tomahawk Paella was very underwhelming. The meat lacked flavor (I think they forgot to season it), but the rice was very good and flavorful.
Tomahawk Paella (~$150): 4/10
Jamon Iberico: 8/10
Bread Tapas: 6/10
Overall: 6/10

Service was fantastic. I might give this place another shot and try their normal menu.”

“Local love for Los Gatos meats! Been coming here for decades. What a fabulous pillar of our community. Excellent sandwiches. Great selection of hard to find meats and a great local business.”

“I always stop by after Soul Cycle - their seasonal juices are so yummy!”

“gluten free, vegan, coconut based froyo! yum!”

“I love icing on the cake! The cupcakes, cakes and other desserts are amazing! I highly recommend this location in Los Gatos. The staff was helpful and kind!”

“Great drinks and excellent service. Highly recommended.”

“The Beef Pho is amazing and the Vietnamese Tacos are so flavorful”

“If you haven't eaten here you're likely a tourist or vegan. The place has been here for-ever. The food is great, the place reminds me of being a kid again.”

“I stopped here this morning just to get some GF food. I have never been here before and heard about it from a coworker and wanted to try it.
The bakery is inside of the Polenteria restaurant (see pic for guidance to the entrance). The closest parking is the lot surrounding Victory Lane. I was able to find a spot when I arrived around 11 am Thursday even though it was fairly full.
I checked the restaurants menu when I got home and found out it had an 'entire gluten free Italian menu'. Now I have to go back for dinner sometime.
I got a 3 pack of Jalapeno bagels for $12, 2 large cookies at $5 each, and a brownie for $9. It was pricier than another GF bakery I had recently visited in another town.”

“My first time here was great. My partner ordered many beers and I had some good NA options. Service was super friendly.
Second visit, different worker and he couldn’t even make eye contact. Also wasn’t going to give me change and just kept it for a tip (my tip was 20% already). On the patio, a group sat next to me and opened packets of dried fish with the skins on. The smell was so bad, I had to move across the patio to the small bar on the other side.”

“Their crust is amazing 😍Bought Maui and Sausage and onion...😋”

“THAT PIZZA WAS DEFINITELY DELICIOUS...I WAS JUST PASSING BY AND MY DAUGHTER WANTED PIZZA AND I TOLD MYSELF WELL WHAT COULD HAPPEN AND WUUUA...WHAT I WAS SURPRISED WITH THE FLAVOR..10 OUT OF 10.”

“Love the feel inside, food was awesome, staff was pleasant and knowledgeable. It was birthday and we had a gift certificate so we pigged on almost some of everything they had. Loved all of it. Hush puppies, meatballs and ribeye were solid. Dessert blew my fat head off. It was some sort of bread pudding with ice cream ! This is a nice treat and moderately priced for a nice night out in LG.”

“I cannot express how much I love this place. Everything is made in house with the best quality ingredients that you can taste and smell in every sip of anything you get there. I go out of my way on a weekly basis just to go here!”

“Charming cafe!!!! Fantastic food at reasonable prices, convenent location and warm friendly environment. An ideal place for heartfelt talks and informal business conversations. I LIKE IT. Irene Borz, Broker”

“Didn't realize a Salt & Straw opened in LG!

Since I don't do dairy anymore, my favorite non-dairy option is the strawberry coconut...really tasty!

Kid scoop $5.25

Parking is super tough in the immediate parking lots.

I've been to this location a few times now...so just park wherever you see a spot first! I usually park across the street near the lululemon.

Great dessert option after eating telefaric!”

“Fantastic place! Lovely atmosphere. Great hostess. Kind and nice. Good for every age.”

“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! 😜🤪🤣🥴👍❤️❤️❤️”

“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.”

“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!”

“Delicious and yummy yogurt with every imaginable topping! Adorable shop! Family friendly!”

“Great Blue Bottle in Los Gatos is a gem for coffee enthusiasts. Their expertly crafted espresso, pour-overs, and signature drinks like the New Orleans Iced Coffee are always smooth and flavorful. The modern, inviting space makes it perfect for relaxing or working, and the passionate baristas ensure every cup is top-notch. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just love a great brew, this spot is a must-visit. Five stars!”

“if it’s Philz.. it’s real!”

“loved it. great atmosphere and food. plenty of TV's so I never miss any games. definitely going back.”

“Special place. Great service and beverages.”

“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.”

“the staff was very friendly . The food was great !!!”

“I attended a Yelp Elite event at Mountain Mike's on Blossom Hill Rd. It turned out to be a fun family dinner on Thursday evening.The place was pretty busy, which is always a good sign. The vibe was casual and perfect for watching the NBA game while we dined.Nav was our point of contact. He was friendly and accommodating, making our experience all the more enjoyable. He handled our request for a half-and-half Mt. Veggiemore and cheese pizza, ensuring everyone got their favorite.Mt. Veggiemore was a veggie-packed delight and the cheese pizza a gooey, melty classic. We also enjoyed some sodas. Although the food took a bit to arrive, it was worth the wait.The kids were thrilled with the game machines, especially the car racing game, which was a hit with my son. Plus, the claw machine packed with plush toys and candies added an extra layer of fun. They also have a change machine which is very convenient.Parking:There's plenty of space in the back.Overall, Mountain Mike's provided a fabulous venue for a Yelp Elite event. It's a spot that's clearly more than just pizza; it's about the experience.”

“Been coming to Tea Garden for over a decade. It’s my go to Chinese in the neighborhood. Good portions good food at a reasonable price served hot n fresh faster than any drive-thru fast food place. Combo plates gotta be the deal of century $10 for three dishes in one to-go container. Family owned and zero frills. I’d suggest pick up take home or pick up and head to the park up the street.”

“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.”

“Great Atmosphere, Good Vibes, EXCELLENT service, TOP Quality Coffee Selections from All parts of the AMERICAS, and different parts of the world all selected by Teri herself.

“I love Round table pizza and I never visited this one before. I was amazed 10 fold when it came. Look at the picture I can not ever think of when I received a pizza that looked like a piece of art.I devoured it myself.Could use a little higher volume on the tv though”

“Delicious Food, great customer service”

“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.”

“Terriable customer service after they gave food that was unedible for my family. please support a restaurant that cares about the food quality and their customers. ( also we used to go all the time, but not anymore)”

“The food is fabulous! We can get a regular burger or a veggie burger easily, and modifications are a snap! The only downside is at times parents let their kids be loud, which is very inconsiderate. We just make sure we're in a head space where we don't mind the noise.

Other than that, don't miss the best burger place in Los Gatos!”

“I’ve been coming here for years. I had a blackberry pie latte earlier today. I bought my mom an Italian soda. Great bear coffee has been around since I was a little girl. :-)”
