“I had a fantastic experience doing the tasting menu and the wine pairing. Lots of small perfectly executed dishes, served at a good cadence. Lots of the ingredients were foraged, including some of the seafood. The wines in the pairing were great, especially considering the price point of the pairing was very reasonable - for so many pours of wine. I understand that the menu is constantly changing - so I'm sure I'll be going back soon.”
“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.”

“Catered lunch for the office (for 30 people) from Crust Deli Los Gatos. Food arrived on time. Rave reviews from colleagues on the sandwich selections and everyone loved the sourdough rolls! The cookies were popular too! We will definitely cater again with them. Price was reasonable too. Sweeney Mason LLP”
“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.”
“We went tonight and had an amazing, affordable meal. I can’t say enough about the service! The staff is friendly, comes across like they genuinely want you there. The food was delicious. I will be back soon!”
“The food never disappoints. We shared the fritto misto and gem Caesar salad with whole anchovies. If there's a grilled octopus on their menu, I always get that while my husband tries something different. He had the pork chop and the piece that I tasted was juicy and sauce flavorful. It's our go to restaurant because we enjoy the food, wait staff and bartenders, and always feel welcome.”
“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”

“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”

“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.”
“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.”
“We had a birthday dinner and Parkside was out of the special and smash burger at 5:30? Then my daughter's dish tasted off she said so she sent back. Our server Lexie said the staff even tasted it in the kitchen and agreed. Lexie comped her salmon meal and was very gracious. She is a very good server. A bit strange for food last night though. Our salmon was good. Excellent mocktails. No one drank. Overall pleasant.”
“We had our Wedding Rehearsal Dinner here and while it was a little more expensive then we wanted it was truly worth it. Their staff were exceptionally courteous and very easy to work with during both the event and the arrangement process. The atmosphere is simply breathtaking there and our dinner in “The Cave” was magnificent both in terms of the food and wine, but the room itself was just so cool to eat dinner in. All of our guests were very impressed with the winery itself, the quality of the food and the service, and everyone had an amazing time, so thank you!”
“First visit. Had lunch of an Insulate di Tonno and an Arthur Ave panini. Both were excellent. The EVOO on the salad was very good. The bread on the sandwich was perfect, not too big to suffocate the delicate flavors of all the thinly sliced meats inside. We were unfamiliar with the wine list so the server offered us a couple of tastes until we found the perfect match. Can't wait to return and try their dinner menu.”
“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.”

“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”
“I was fortunate enough to find Sepideh and her wonderful little shop and asked if she could make a special, custom cake for my wife's birthday. The process was fun and exciting. Sharing ideas and ultimately coming up with a cake that exceeded my wildest expectations! It was a huge hit and was simply a wonderful and fun thing to do. Also, it tasted great! Thank you so much for making everything so special. I will definitely be coming back soon!”
“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!”
“We eat here fairly often as we live nearby. Bagels are yummy and lightweight. My only qualm is with the cream cheese. We like to grab a mini tub of jalapeño cream cheese but it’s so disappointing seeing it half full? Would be nice to see this improved moving forward. Also would love to see a non-pork alternative for breakfast sandwiches such as plant based patty or turkey bacon added to the breakfast sandwich options for those of us that don’t eat pork.”

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

“Great atmosphere, we had team lunch on a Friday. Lucky that we had a reservation. For parties more than 11, they say each person’s spend must be minimum of $55. The place gets busy and extremely hard to find parking here. Plenty of vegetarian options available. I highly recommend the Cali-Flower and Churros. Everyone was happy with the ambiance, starters and drinks. All our Paella were average, they could taste better.”

“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!”
