Gardenia, located in downtown Los Gatos inside a stunning Victorian-style mansion, offers a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant features an outdoor patio that is charming and spacious, perfect for year-round dining. The interior is equally impressive, with a gorgeous setting that makes every visit special. The menu showcases a fusion of Asian French cuisine, with dishes like deviled eggs, crabcakes, and almond pancakes. The food generally receives positive feedback, with the almond pancake being especially loved. Brunch and dinner options are available, and the restaurant is also a great spot for coffee or matcha, with ceremonial grade matcha that stands out. The drinks menu is creative, and the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Service is often praised as kind and welcoming, though there have been minor lapses, such as waiting for a bill. The manager, Nicole, is frequently highlighted for her friendliness and efforts to make guests feel special. Overall, Gardenia is appreciated for its lovely ambiance, great service, and interesting fusion dishes, making it a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike.
