“The fire wood pizza here is one of the best in South Bay Area, very tasty pizza with that perfect burnt by the oven crust that gives it a great look & taste.

Enjoyed each time I came here and the atmosphere is very chill. Also this place is very popular and requires booking, but it’s worth it!”

“Truly, I do not enjoy writing bad reviews but based on what happened tonight it is warranted. My two allergy kids wanted some pizza, it needs to be gluten free and dairy free. We called them we spoke to two different people at the restaurant they said that's totally okay, we will charge you 18, we're going to do the kids pizza for the allergies needed. When we drove all the way to pick it up for dinner ,they said sorry we tried to call you and tell you but we're going to charge you $50 because we have to make it large. First of all I checked my phone no one called us. They called someone else. Which really shows how unorganized the restaurant is. And second of all they had absolutely no remorse. Espically the manager. In the end I refuse to pay for something that I was lied to. And I feel like they should have still honored the price due to what they told us. It's not my fault that nobody knows what to do there. And it's affecting the customers. I hope the owner and others reads this and teaches his staff to not punish the customer for their own negligence. It just makes me think what else do they do? this is the los gatos location.”

“Lovely service, yummy French offerings. Comfortable patio out back.”

“Ambrosia has many mock meat and a couple tofu entrees as well as a few vegan entrees. Nice atmosphere with outdoor seating and pleasant service. Full of flavor! Updated from previous review on 2026-07-12”

“An intimate family dinner with something to appeal to all in the party--9 yrs old to 74! Great wines, service, food. Ran out of the squid ink pasta and the cannoli but other than that, a very nice time was had by all!”

“Second Story is easily one of the hottest cocktail lounge spots right now if you’re looking for an upscale nightlife vibe without feeling overly pretentious. The entire place feels modern, moody, and elevated with low lighting, packed lounge seating, and a crowd that clearly came dressed for the occasion.

The cocktails were beautifully executed and presentation alone made the experience feel worth it. I ordered the Queen B and it was absolutely fire, smooth, balanced, slightly floral with honey lavender notes, and honestly one of those drinks you immediately want again after the first sip. The atmosphere gets more energetic as the night goes on, but still keeps that classy cocktail lounge feel instead of turning chaotic.

Definitely the kind of place you go for a dressed-up night out, good cocktails, and a stylish crowd.”

“One of the best winery bistros around the bay area. Very pleasant environment, nice seating arrangement under a gazebo with delicious food and decent wine options. Fantastic place for lunch!”

“Perfect way to spend a Monday! Excellent empanada special, memorable cocktails and beignets and bread pudding were over the top. Ended with a smoky old fashioned for a personalized birthday treat. Thank you to Therese and Bryce for the personal touches and relocating us to a quiet table, the recommendations, and kicking off my 34th teaching year with joy!”

“Great family friendly brewery with games available for kids. Nachos and pretzels were great. Kids enjoyed jenga, duplos, and uno. Only negative was no dark beers.”

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

“An uncommon find but some of the most tastiest food you can find in Los Gatos, I never mind making the trip over here just to have the food. It tastes great, a good price and one of the best Curio spots to be! Inside and outside is great and if you love unusual shakes, its the place to be!”

“Ordered the seafood pasta - normally it comes with wine sauce but I ordered it with the red sauce. Usually they say dont order off the menu but sometimes life is about taking risks. Hey Michael Jackson’s Thriller wasn’t supposed to be released. One bite and I’d say the best seafood pasta I’ve bad in the South Bay Area, in fact miles better than @SamsChowderHouse in Half Moon Bay.”

I just love this business.”

“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”

The food is good Thai. We like it.
Not too expensive and large servings too.”

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.”

“This afternoon, we had the pleasure of listening to live music at Gardino's in Los Gatos. The music was wonderful, and the food was absolutely fantastic!

If you haven't had the opportunity to visit, they offer music and/or karaoke every day of the week.”

“They make so many delicious things. Pies, cake pops, cookies, it’s all amazing. The owner is such a nice lady, and she made a custom top for one of her standard pies to avoid my mother’s nut allergy.”

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

“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”

The lady staff explained everything calmly.
Onion ring,burgers,Rice,vegetable gravy all are fine.Quntity also adequate at a very reasonable service.Quite calm environment.Sopus Cool drinks,Snacks,cookies are available.”

“Great food at reasonable prices ✅”

“Wanted to complement Malia at the register - she did a great job with consulting about the drink that will fit my presence. I got earl gray latte large one - the size was just perfect! And the taste was really nice with honey added. Kudos to the great service!”

“I got a blueberry muffin and it was one of the best blueberry muffin I’ve ever had. I’d recommend to go early because they do sell quickly and it’s part of a restaurant so the bakery section is small.”

“I absolutely loved this place! This was our first time there and the young lady was patient with me and explained what types of sandwiches she had there! Their service was very fast and the sandwiches are pretty big and DELICIOUS!!! A quiet atmosphere! Oh… And the chicken, rice, vegetables soup was really good- as per my mother and aunt said! 😄”

“Hard to quantify everything great about this place. Pizza is my hands down favorite on the west coast. Fantastic staff, and very generous with ingredients. I always ask for as much roasted garlic as possible and they always deliver. The D’lex chicken and bacon is the best. But everything is good.”

“I am a vegetarian and went there for a lunch buffet. I called ahead to confirm there were varieties of pizza and salad.

There was a salad bar, but it wasn’t being restocked. The salad choices were ok.

Once the pizza’s were made available, the veggie one was baked along with a meat based one 1/2 and 1/2. On asking if there were going to be veggie ones, was told that is how its done. I told them that I cannot eat that. They were kind enough to make personal veggie pizza for me, hence three stars. However the reason I went there was for a buffet and they had four or more veggie variations and I never got to try the interesting ones.

Its possible they have good and variety of pizzas, but my judgement is out.”

“Togo's is the best for sandwiches hot or cold. The los Gatos site makes the best sandwiches. Thank you to all staff who make the sandwiches! The staff who make the sandwiches are so kind and courteous!!”

“This is a great place! In my opinion the Best Coffee spot in LG. Beautiful View, Nice Atmosphere and a Fantastic “Red Eye” coffee with two shots of espresso that will get you going and very fairly priced. ☕️ ☀️😋 🤩 😎”

“I had business at an antique store right across from Mr. Pickle's and I found that the sandwich I ordered was very nice. The price was comparable to other shops I have bought from and the service was friendly and helpful in answering all my questions.”

“This place is like a second home! When ever I get the chance, this is my favorite stop. Amazing Bundt Cakes!”

“The staff is extremely friendly!”

“they've done an incredible job creating a fun and gorgeous place to eat, drink and hang out.”

“Pedro's food has remained delicious for several years. Vegetarian, z chicken and shrimp fajitas stand out as well prepared and served sizzling hot with lovely corn and flour tortillas. The quantity of food served is good enough that we didn't even order appetizers. Cocktails are amazing - tried old fashioned, flower and feut, flights of margaritas. The flight option give you a way to try their flavored margaritas, although the come out a bit sweeter than a classic margarita. Add some lime juice to balance the sweetness. The atmosphere is quite and relaxing since the place is not over crowded. The new remodeled decor has improved the ambience to be more relax take it easy dining night like atmosphere. The service is still the best, all servers are very welcome and courteous and attend to each request with pride. Overall a great place for authentic Mexican place in the bar area”

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

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

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

“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.”

“Lovely service, yummy French offerings. Comfortable patio out back.”

“NOISY ENVIRONMRNT. Good service and food. But my goodness tell the kitchen staff to stop making so much noise washing the pots and pans. You're shattering the ears of guests trying to enjoy their meal.”

“I recently visited Petal’s Creamery on Saturday, May 2nd at around 10:50 p.m., and I can honestly say it’s some of the best ice cream I’ve had in the U.S. I tried the hazelnut and saffron flavors, while my friend went for the baklava flavor—and every single one was incredible. The saffron, in particular, stood out as one of the best I’ve ever tasted. What made the experience even more memorable was the service. We walked in about 10 minutes before closing, and the girl at the counter (she was wearing glasses—sorry I didn’t catch her name) was absolutely amazing. She welcomed us warmly, encouraged us to try different flavors, and had such a friendly, genuine conversation with us. Her smile and positive demeanor, especially so close to closing time, really stood out. It’s a true example of exceptional customer service. Great ice cream is one thing, but pairing it with that level of hospitality made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“the donuts taste very fresh, soft, and not too oily or sweet, and the service is always so friendly - definitely one of the best donut spots in the south bay that i’ve tried!”

“The drinks were delicious, especially the mango coconut twilight. The workers were very kind and generous. However, upon walking into the establishment I noticed a lot of grime and dust in the store and it generally felt al ittle unclean”

“their tacos are bomb. super quick service. very authentic.”

“Chips and guac = awesome
Hazy IPA = YUM
Pulled Pork Sliders = DElicious
Fish tacos = DEliciousx2

Great service, great food!
We will be back!”

“First time here! Super delish. I ordered the mango croissant and a ham & cheese croissant. Stood in line for 20 minutes at 9am, but turned out to be worth it. I’ll be back :)”

“This Korean food is absolutely delish! A lot of these foods seem good to eat if it’s cold, but they are tasty anyways. We got the hot stone pot with the mozzarella cheese (which should probably have been shared by two people), seafood pancake, ramen, and the galbitang. The beef is well stewed, the hot stone pot is super cheesy, and the ramen is good quality for its price. This completely changed our view of Korean food, and we came here because we watched a Korean cooking show called “culinary class wars” and wanted to try some Korean food. Will definitely come again, and they have milk drinks and Korean sodas that the children really liked. Jipyeong rice wine was served with traditional bowls and also gets a thumbs up!”

“Amazing brunch! The food was fresh, flavorful & too good to eat. Friendly service, great atmosphere, music & everything exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely be back!”

“Saw some of the negative reviews complaining about robots replacing humans — honestly don't get it. This place is trying something new and innovative, and I think that's exciting! And for those worried about quality, the cooking is still done by humans the old-fashioned way, so the food is on point. The steak comes out just right.
Gave it 5 stars for the robot experience alone — my kids absolutely loved it! And the burgers? Actually really good. Keep pushing forward and don't let the critics slow you down. Innovation like this is exactly what keeps dining interesting. We'll be back!”

“they've done an incredible job creating a fun and gorgeous place to eat, drink and hang out.”
