i have been here 4 times... and the most recent time service was kind ehh... coming from someone in the restaurant industry back in nyc expectations are unfortunately a tad high, they should train on basic service, touching the table every 10-15 minutes, serving from the right side, removing from the left. i get it that it is a casual restaurant but the prices say something else. We have come here multiple times because it is conveniently located... Host are a bit on lala land i may say, I asked for a high chair for my kid host said they are getting it... everything seems to take long. I asked for paper for the kids to draw, and they completely forgot. Now on to the food. Food is good. decent. some plates better than others. very inconsistent. But when its good.. its good. servers do not know much about the wine menu or what pairs good with what. I would put that on the shoulders of the managers. but again food is decent. some plates are extraordinary.. some or mediocre. review is avg all my experiences i have had here.

Mediocre food and terrible service. First impression when walking up to the restaurant and walking in seems like it would be a nice place to eat. The hostess at the front was not friendly and just rubbed us the wrong way. Took forever to finally see our server. Food took 30 minutes to come out. The food runner was probably the nicest and most attentive and she should have received the entire tip amount. Our server was just bleh and should look for a different job. Gonna pass on this one and find a better place to eat.

I came here for brunch on Easter and it's a perfect place for just that kind of thing. I should've opted for one of their more experimental-looking options but went with the classic breakfast, which was fine, but I have to do the reverse-snob thing and confess you could get better classic breakfasts at much lowlier establishments. Go for their omelettes or something instead, which looked interesting.

Little gem on east side of Los Gatos. Great wine list - fun things like a Gruner Vertliner. Great bartenders, friendly. Big selection of whisky and tequila Food is great, the burger is fantastic They allow dogs outside which makes for a fun happy hour setting

eh. so mediocre. they tried to do the asian fusion style but it's not really that great of flavors. focaccia bread service had this sauce that's like chinese bean paste + vinegar or something - not bad but it's like ugh okay i can make this too. however the bread was soft and quite bouncy (QQ) also. chicken liver mousse was overly sweet and mousse was very watery. i don't know, just not a great combo with the peanuts on top too. i was most looking forward to this dish but felt disappointed. parpadelle pasta - pasta a bit soggy. not really impressed with the peas and carrots addition but overall flavor is OK. spare ribs - not too bad of a flavor, 3 big ribs - big portion korean bbq sauce style. a little salty but quite tender. oyster was our highlight - all 3 kinds were quite tasty! forgot what exactly they were of course lol

Had high expectations that were not met. Food was underwhelming, service slow. Drinks disappointing. Order Sangria and received a glass of premixed peach flavored white wine with more ice than liquid - that's an absolute no go. Winter salad was disappointing and just really strange in composition, mushroom risotto was good. Dessert again disappointing. Upside down pineapple cake isn't a piece of vanilla cake with a few pineapple pieces and syrup poured over it.Clientele are mostly older seemingly well-off men and women looking for them. Server was clueless - when my wife asked if they had a sweeter white wine she recommended the Sauvignon Blanc. I don't know how they stay in business considering the high prices and lack of good food. I guess the clueless clientele won't mind as much. Will not return.

First time here and I'll be back! Service for a Friday lunch was spectacular. Appreciated a table checkin by the manager who was super friendly. The food was fab. Definitely recommend the Ahi poke salad, yummy!!!! My friend had the Rueben sandwich and it was nice and meat heavy. She took half home. We sat on the cozy patio under a heat lamp, the inside restaurant was very appealing. Looking forward to a return visit soon.

I had to quail it was amazing, service was excellent!!
Ordered the empanadas. Waitress said I get 3, I got 2 and they were small. For $24.00?? My ice tea was empty and not once did the waitress ask if I'd like a refill. Not impressed.

Great burger, poke bowl, and service. Also, fantastic root beer. Pricey but not for the neighborhood - and totally worth it.

Wanted to try something new... but Shepard and Sims didn't really do it for me. Dana was a great server and bus person too. The food runners and manager disappointed because they didn't listen. Tuna tostada was great. Coconut shrimp over cooked and under flavored. First roasted chicken was burnt... second was good but not great and wasn't half a chicken. Hotdog was okay. Pineapple upside down cake was a disappointment with so little flavor. Ambiance was more cafeteria style than upscale. The Table feels more upscale. Upside is good parking and plenty of open tables. Was left wanting...

Ambiance- really cute inside. Like a very modern diner. Very spacious. Service - just OK. Our waitress only came by to take our order. We didn't really see her for the rest of our meal. Food - pretty horrible. if they want this place to survive, they are going to need a kitchen revamp. Fried chicken bites - dry, mushy, soggy Hh oysters- too big, not that great. Tuna tataki - on the fishy side. it was sitting in a pool of what I think is beet juice, which looked pretty disgusting. Chicken liver - this was the best thing we had all night. Blue cheese martini - tasty and well made. $180 for appetizers for 2.

We came here on St. Patrick’s Day. We ordered the corned beef and cabbage special and a Reuben sandwich. Both were delicious, our waitress was friendly, and she provided us with timely service. It’s a good spot to spend your weekend lunch and enjoy a lazy afternoon.
