We had a party of eight, and I felt like we ordered the entire menu and sampled each other's plates. The medium rare steak looked like it was cooked correctly. However, it was a little tough. Others in our party ordered each of the oysters and said they were all delicious except for one flavor. The best dish we had was surprisingly the octopus. It was cooked perfectly, which is hard to do. The staff was the absolute best part of this entire experience. My bartender was attentive, friendly, and was able to make a Vesper martini without even flinching. Our waitress was very friendly, bubbly, timely with her attentiveness, and knew her menu. Whenever we encountered any of the staff, they were genuinely attentive and responsive Including the runners. The food prices we're about what we expected and the prices of the cocktails, we're very reasonable. Any of us in the group will be returning, and the local family that was watching all of our kids will also.

We spent New Year’s Eve there and it was a wonderful experience! The food was amazing and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was unique and cozy, and the place itself is beautiful and modern. We enjoyed DJ music, a balloon drop, and free champagne at midnight — such a fun celebration. Bravo! Great job. We’re already looking forward to coming back next year for another New Year’s Eve celebration at this place.

Finally reviewing one of our favorite places in Los Gatos. We’ve come for both Happy Hour and Dinner. We love the HH menu, portions and prices. Dinner visits have been off. The Pork Chop looks impressive, and the reduction is great, but most of the meat was overcooked while meat near the bone was okay. The HH chips are fresh and crispy - they’re stale for dinner, so skip them. The portions at dinner are probably smaller than you expect. The Burger never disappoints.

I'd call this a general restaurant serving a little bit of everything but not doing anything particularly well--American breakfasts, gyro, "dutch baby" pancake, oysters, and others. Still, on a nice sunny Father's Day early summer day, it was an enjoyable experience in the patio. The staff was very friendly. We will be returning.

Wife and I enjoyed our Valentine's dinner here. We ordered the meatballs and cauliflower appetizers, with the grilled octopus and the swordfish schnitzel being the main entrees. We finished off the evening with the tapioca pudding dessert which was delicious. Overall a solid choice. I'll check out the happy hour (2-5:30pm weekday) next time.

I enjoy going here for the people. The wait staff is always kind, welcoming and helpful. The food. Certain foods. Like the original version of the Bucatini was amazing. The burger is always solid. Some do not always hit the mark but with a rotating menu it's expected. Good whiskey selection, beer needs work but sometimes they surprise you.

Another great dinner here. Had the chance to sit outside on the patio…it was perfect. Service was amazing. Great place to meet up with a group of friends.
