“It had been over 20 YEARS since I came to La Fondue, but my sisters were coming for a weekend and I decided we needed to go here. My partner doesn't eat cheese, so I cannot come with him, so this was going to be perfect. Spoiler alert - it was PERFECT! The interior has changed a ton in the past 20 years, but it still has great atmosphere, I love that they keep it dark and intimate. Our server was FANTASTIC. She made solid recommendations, shared her knowledge and advice as we were debating on what to get. We are all not huge eaters, so we weren't sure we needed all the courses. So, we opted for salad, cheese fondue and chocolate fondue. We skipped the meat portion completely. We were impressed that the wine list was affordable - probably because the food is on the pricy side. After our salads, which were really good, we had the 4 cheese fondue, which we practically licked the bowl clean. OMG - it was heavenly. This was based on our servers recommendation, and she was spot on right that it was fantastic. We then had the dark chocolate fondue and then we died and went to heaven. The end :)“
“Service was fantastic - such personal touch. The food is exceptional - it's like flying over to Europe and tasting authentic French and German/Austrian food at a fantastic European family restaurants. I say this because I have been there done that for years. This place is a hidden classic gem and an institution in Saratoga. The schnitzel is simply the best I have had in the US. As good as anything you will find in Vienna. The escargot is simply delectable - so authentic. Most escargot at other Resturants are just terrible and over done. Their's is just perfect. The streaks are fantastic - accompanied by great sauces. Then there is the prices - simply a bargain. Yes the restaurant decor is old and frozen in time but that's what makes the place so special and such a great experience. Like I said it's like going to a fantastic top notch family owned restaurant in Europe. Le Mere Micheal - What a treasure.“
“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.“
“The Epernay French bistro a wonderful little restaurant situated in downtown Los Gatos. Very good ambience great service . For my entry I order bouillabaisse a wonderful, very tasty fish soup.My wife ordered the Patrol sole fish. Also very flavorful.With that we had a beats salad .Very beautiful experience“
“I ordinarily don't leave reviews. But I saw the one on Valentine's day. I was there that night too. I sat near the person leaving the review. I know the person. (not well). I cannot believe they left this unfair review. Every single thing about the night was great. Food...great. Atmosphere...great. Service...spot on. Some people no matter what you cannot make happy. This restaurant is probably the best one to take your loved one. We liked it so much we went again on 2/24. Because we wanted to try some other food. Yes it is expensive. But it is worth it.“
“We ordered a few different baked goods and some coffee. The hazelnut chocolate croissant and mango pastry were really good. We also got a raspberry fruit tart and chocolate chip cookie, they weren’t as good as the other two. For drinks we got an iced mocha and iced americano, the drinks were mid. I’d go back to try different pastries.“
“Fantastic food truck with a unique mix of Mexican and French dishes. The chicken tacos were amazing - fresh and flavorful. The beignets were also delicious - nice and airy.The chef has experience cooking at a French restaurant, and that shows in the quality of the French items.“
“If you're looking to travel into the streets of Paris for a brunch / lunch / dinner for a date night or just to make you happy, you can now find that in the beautiful Santa Cruz Ave of Los Gatos. Chez Philippe picks you up from a great neighborhood and instantly sends you into a classy, French storybook that is packed with homeliness, and none of the haughty chin up.We visited CP (Chez Philippe) on a slightly drizzly brunch hour on a Sunday. We were in Los Gatos for their Sunday Street Market but the drizzle made us choose an early lunch. 4.6 stars on Google is no easy feat so we were excited to know there were seats availalable.Unlike typical French restaurants where everything is snooty, if not unnecessarily greasy, we were welcomed as if we were visiting a distant relative in their beautiful cottage, somehow in the outskirts of Paris. The huge windows let in the wet sunlight with window-side tables occupied by a loving elderly couple... a perfect scene that sets the mood. Chef Philippe (I would think he is) seems he's moved over from France and truly gave us a loving welcome and intro to the restaurant. The interior is literally a picture book with various corners all carrying their unique stories but all strung together with the air they share.By the time we were ordering, our mood was already soft and I was sipping on delicious coffee. We went with the Onion Soup and the Escargot, as well as sweet crepes, etc. The onion soup inches near perfection in terms of the depth of taste and the wholesomeness it provides. The star of the show was the escargot though. I do not know what black magic they used to create the garlic butter sauce the escargots sat in but it was pure heaven. Just dipping fresh baguette into the escarbot pits and chewing on it simply made my day. At that point, my review was already decided. It was one of the happiest and tastiest experiences I've had in the Bay Area in a while. And mind you, I wasn't even that hungry.The mussels were fabulous with distinct white wine sauce. The French Fries were clearly made with love. And the strawberry crepes, again, were quite good, although you really can't go too wrong here.Chez Philippe truly is a gem in Los Gatos. I believe it is relatively new but I don't come here too often. Either way, what a wonderful restaurant. And we'll absolutely be back.Parking: Find public parking in Los Gatos downtown. There are few lots parallel to Santa Cruz Ave, as well as if you get lucky, you can street park on Santa Cruz itself.“
“Myriad of social events and corporate French dinner here. Pastas and wine selections are consistently delicious and refreshing. Christmas and Thanksgiving festivities are held here several times that we relish the most. Prompt service and clean facility. Our recent visit feels like interior and exterior time to modify or a thoughtful makeover to give this location a spiffy French look.“
“We took outdoor seating in literally the farthest corner and they still managed to take good care of us. I was expecting the food to be pricey, but it's actually well priced for the content and service that you get. Will be coming back, their burger is my boys favorite!“
“My daughter and I just dined at Chez TJ for the first time. We had heard such good things about Chef Stan's food and we were excited to try it. It was spectacular! What a fabulous evening we had. The ambiance was lovely, the staff was friendly and professional, and the food was the star. Each course was a combination of flavors and textures that were both beautiful and delicious. Only to be perfectly complemented by the wine pairing suggested by Ted, the excellent Sommelier. And those desserts. Wow! What a finish to an incredible meal. We ended our evening with a tour of the garden which looks lovely. We can't wait to come back in the summer months to enjoy that as well. Thank you Chez TJ for a wonderful experience!“
“"La Piti Bistro is a magical place where every visit turns into an unforgettable culinary journey! Exquisite French dishes, served with finesse and passion, make guests' hearts beat faster. The ambiance of the establishment is filled with a sense of coziness and warmth, while the attentive staff creates the feeling that you are a guest at a royal banquet. La Piti Bistro is not just a restaurant; it's an oasis of refinement and taste in the heart of the city."“
“I would give this 4.5*Food was very good for brunch. I should've gotten dressing on the side for the salad as it was overdressed.Crab cake Benedict was really good.It's also a bit pricey for value even in Los Altos.They accommodated us on the patio with two dogs and we're great about it.“
“I cannot describe what a wonderful experience we had at the Plumed Horse. The food was to die for, the service was excellent. We decided to order the Chef’s Tasting menu and added the wine pairing. The best decision we ever made. 3 hours of teasing our tongues with the most exquisite food and wine combinations.“
