Exquisitely exceptional. Denise and her team have carefully curated a wonderfully enchanting Parisian experience from the ambiance to the decor--snacks & caviar..a truly uplifting experience that Los Gatos desperately needed. Well done, can't wait to be back.

This restaurant has surprised me more than any other, including Michelin-starred establishments. We had the Chef's Experience, and every single course delivered unexpected delights. This is exactly what I look for in high-end dining, and this restaurant exceeded my expectations in every conceivable way—be it presentation, the choice of ingredients, their innovative combinations, or, of course, the flavors.I don’t write reviews for restaurants because I’m pretty lazy, but I felt compelled to share this extraordinary and meaningful experience. As pescatarians, we asked if they could accommodate us with a pescatarian course, and they did it flawlessly, even at the last minute. AThere was a "surprise" course that truly lived up to its name, which I won't disclose to ensure future customers can experience it firsthand.One of the highlights of our visit was the opportunity to speak with Julian, the chef. He personally visits each table, passionately explaining the dish, his commitment to using local ingredients, and addressing all our questions and this interaction made our dining experience so much more special.This has quickly become our favorite restaurant in the Bay Area, and we can’t wait for our next visit!!Dietary restrictions: Pescatarian

This place offers a unique menu with specific pairing for each menu item. Not only smart bur reasonably priced. Live Jazz music embelished an already lovely dinner night. Advice : start with a glass at the Champagne Bar before your head to your table.

Firstly, there was a very off-putting smell in the tasting area, so we asked to eat outside. We did not wine taste. The service was uncomfortable at best (it took over 90 minutes to produce a Ruben sandwich and a smash burger). (The kitchen ran out of bread, was the story). Their Ruben was made with an earthy wheat bread, not rye, and they subbed coleslaw for the sauerkraut . My friend liked it but I prefer the tradition style.The smash burger was a preformed patty (not smashed), cheese, with lettuce and tomato on a plain bun. I could not recommend this place for eating.

Food is amazing. The wine pairings are tastefully done. Extremely knowledgeable staff and service is attentive. Music every night creates a perfect ambiance

This was an amazing dinner. We did the tasting menu and everything was exquisite. The presentation of the food just added to the overall flavor and taste. We will be back again and again.

Service was super slow and portions were really small from the regular menu. Went for the Riesling tasting which was actually very good price with delicious bites. Setting is very romantic. Was lucky to pop in on a day where coincidentally there was live piano and a singer on a Weds. Very much a hidden gemVegetarian options: Doesn’t have an extensive vegetarian menu. Just found soup and a beer salad

Another great meal ! I love this place - the service was excellent as usual as was the food and wine. Dino as always was smooth and attentive - Mary the MaitreD was also fantastic, she checked on us several times . We had escargo and oysters to start which were great although I thought the garnish on the escargot a little over top - you had to dig through that to find the escargot. We both had the 72 hour short rib and to be honest - probably the best I have ever had . This isn't a cheap place but you do get value for money. My only criticism is that if you're a vegetarian your kind of screwed ! Only 1 option and don't order the cheese board if you're a vegetarian as you get no bread or crackers with it. I'll definitely be going back but only on business as my wife's a vegetarian and there's nothing for her ( she tried the cheeseboard but no bread with it or crackers and then she was charged when she asked for bread)

Nice atmosphere and food, did not like the fancy style and the price was not worth it for the food, Beet salad was a miss

Wow. What an experience. We did the tasting menu and it was exquisite! The staff went above and beyond and the chef came out to explain each dish. We truly felt like VIPs the entire evening. It was amazing and I couldn't recommend this establishment more.
