We have been going to Lexington House for years and the food is always incredible, the menu changes often but everything offered is always surprising and delicious. The cocktails are well balanced and the staff is super friendly. We love it!

This is my new favorite restaurant! We went there for dinner with a big group of friends. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive, atmosphere was chic and comfortable. But the food -- oh, the food! Lots of novel twists on take-you-back-to-childhood comfort food. Because we were such a big group, we tried pretty much everything on the menu. This is absolutely what you should do. Tater tots and caviar -- wow. On the veg side, the shaved brussels sprouts salad and cauliflower steak were both divine. What sent me to the next level of heaven was the Kentucky Fried Black Cod. Tender. Comforting while unexpected. Braised short rib was excellent too -- tender as could be. And the vegan chocolate mousse was insanely delicious. Can't wait to go back!

We have been patrons of the Lex since it opened 10 years ago and it is still one of the best restaurants in Los Gatos. The menu continues to evolve and the bar scene is lively and adventurous. We particularly enjoyed the egg custard with its unique toppings and the scallop carpaccio from the small plates list. As always, the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Highly recommended.

I am a foodie and super hard to please and this place was amazing!!! Highly recommend the Tuesday evening Wagyu burger special, leeks and charred cabbage. The milk punch drink was fabulous as well and we had such great service. You can't go wrong here!

Great cocktails and quality food. Currently doing kitchen creations on Mondays and specialty burgers on Tuesdays. For selective folks, menu is limited and changes often, so research what's being served before you go.Kid-friendliness: There is no kids menu. They sometimes have pasta they can serve for children. Last time we did the breaded chicken for them and they loved it (like quality chicken tenders).

Nice experience, burger was amazing as well as the Brussels Sprouts Salad. Bread was a little dry but the butter was amazing. Drinks were lovely olive oil cake not my favorite. Service was prompt and server was polite. Great atmosphere!

Small plates were innovative and delicious. Bread order (milk bread) was boring. The only larger plate we had was the chicken, which was tasty but not as culinarily ground-breaking as the small plates. Service was a bit slow because they were slammed on a Tuesday evening (a good sign in itself). Had one of the non-alcoholic cocktails (Paloma-esque) and loved it (it has some spice if you like that in a cocktail). Others also loved their cocktails. It was a bit noisy inside for chatting. The individual plates we had were chipped, something that always bothers me but no-one else in the party.

What a nice surprise this restaurant was! I wasn't familiar with it, but so glad to find it. Our server Andrew was so patient, helpful, and in tune with what each of us liked. The food was gorgeous. We had the Hamachi crudo, which was clean, fresh and bright. The little gem salad was large for sharing, light and the right amount of dressing. The crispy pork belly was delicious but came uncut and was a little hard to cut ourselves. Our server modified one of their cocktails from their outstanding menu for me and it was perfection. Also loved the mood of the place, beautiful lighting and despite being full and lively, we could still hear ourselves talk. Can't wait to go back.
We got a great table by the window and the food was excellent! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because we had to wait 15-20 minutes or so for our table and there was not a very good place to wait; although we ordered some wine while we waited it never came until we got sat. Also our server was not very friendly.

Had a fabulous business dinner for a large-ish party of 8. Excellent service and amazing flavors. Had all but one of the appetizers and all but one of the small plates. Several in our party had the Branzino, one had the curry, and others had the Hangar steak. All Yummy!

I had dinner here twice in the last month. Both times all the dishes we tried were delicious. Great cocktails, excellent service. Waiters know food and drinks really well. I was told they change their menu seasonally. I will come back!

This is one of our favorite restaurants. The staff are wonderful and welcoming, they always greet us as if we are hardcore regulars, which we are not. We had the Branzino special which was honestly the best version of Branzino we have ever had!

Started with bread and wagyu fries. Bread was stale. Then had hamachi which was decent. Broccolini was tough and hard to chew. Duck was quite good. Hanger steak was good but it was heavily over sauced where we had to scrape off the sauce to enjoy the steak. Finally the seafood pasta was almost inedible due to being so salty and overuse of sun dried tomato sauce. The cocktails were good and service/ambience was good. Maybe it was an off night since a member of our party has been here with better execution of the food. Will not likely return since there are so many other great options in LG.
