Cozy & quaint place on the main street in LG. Excellent pate, delicious mussels, fresh, big with very tasty tarragon salty broth. Served hot. Everything we ordered was delicious. Reasonably priced French wines. Will return here. Must try if you like simple tasty French cuisine.

Every once in a blue moon, I'm being reminded of what the French cuisine is all about. It doesn't matter how far I venture for another culinary odyssey, there is only one Ithaca you can always go back to; and Ithaca, it seems, is in France. Chez Philippe is what the French cuisine is all about; at its core, at its most basic, at its most complex; at its most comforting, and at its most exciting; Chez Philippe is home. And just like in any home, Deena and Chef Philippe are there to make sure everything is going to be fine. From the best onion soup I've had outside of France, to the heavenly beef bourguignon, a croque madame you'll keep thinking about for the rest of the day (comme il faut), and a well-thought-out wine menu compiling the best that France has to offer. Yes, home.

As a new los gatos local probably the last place i will ever visit again. They have zero idea of politeness.

Did the Christmas party here. Was not able to serve vegetarian food despite the repeated requests. Dude crepes are not vegetarian nor are a dinner item. Thanks but no thanks

My partner surprised me with reservations at Chez Phillippe because I’d been wanting to go for a while. He even spoke with the chef beforehand and was told they could accommodate gluten-free. When we arrived, I told our server about my dietary needs and ordered the Duck L ’orange special, which was supposed to come with vegetables and mashed potatoes.
The dish came out with rice pilaf, and when I asked if it was gluten-free, the server quickly took it back. My partner asked that the plate be completely remade to avoid cross-contamination. A few minutes later, it returned — but it clearly hadn’t been remade. I took a few bites of the duck before noticing bits of pilaf still on the plate. They had just scraped it off and added more green beans.
I lost my appetite knowing I’d likely get sick and asked for it to be taken away. The restaurant only took $20 off the bill, and when my partner emailed later, the response basically questioned whether my reaction came from their food.
We’re Los Gatos locals, and it’s really disappointing to have such an experience at a restaurant we were excited to support. For anyone with celiac or food sensitivities, please be careful dining here. The staff was polite, but the kitchen did not take gluten-free safety seriously.

Great food, ambience, and service. Dinner service was absolutely amazing, and our waiter was great. The entire experience ended with delicious desserts. The owner and the wife were extremely friendly and caring. The food basically speak for themselves. Will definitely return for our future meals.

!!new girl blonde waitress, She is very rude
I was unpleasantly surprised when she did the table service for us it was terrible but when I wanted to look at the photo next to the toilet when I was waiting for my husband, she told me to get out of here this is not acceptable for guests especially since we are not in this wonderful restaurant for the first time, I will choose another restaurant the next time, thank you!

Loved our meal here! It was a cold, rainy day, so a warm coq au vin with a glass of red wine hit the spot. The steak was also perfectly cooked, quite rare. The bread was delicious, too, with softened butter. I'm not sure the green beans did much for me, but everything else was great!
The live piano music also really contributed to the vibe. Great time here!
