    The interior is decorated pretty nicely and it's definitely targeting people that want to enjoy a casual lunch in a fancier setting. I ended up getting a chicken salad that was surprisingly tasty. The chicken was tender and moist while there were enough textures and flavors in the salad to keep it interesting. Service is friendly and got my friend and I situated pretty quickly. There does look to be a pretty well stocked bar so it seems like this place could be good place to get cocktails.

    We had a great time here for a girls lunch. Service was fast and accommodating. We love the ambiance of the restaurant. They even have a bag stand for all the ladies. We enjoyed the coffee and food here.

    pho poutine, rbf

    this is a vietnamese fusion brunch spot and as someone who is vietnamese, I LOVE THIS PLACE!! FOOD: delicious and unique pho poutine 10/10 - the pho flavor comes through SO well - i cant fathom a pho poutine tasting better than this RBF 10/10 - pandan waffles, fried chicken, ca phe sua da Syrup - such a genius combination..... i think about this dish very often and what i compare to whenever i try other chicken and waffle dishes Coconut coffee 9/10 Pork belly fried rice 7/10 - standard! nothing extraordinary but delicious :) Banh xeo tacos 6.5/10 - I personally wouldn't order this again. The idea is good in theory but I left wishing I got more out of it. I wish the shell resembled like a banh xeo more ube pancakes I only had a bite of this and WOW the ube flavor really comes through Service: - Very accommodating when it comes to seating. I've has a party / reservation for 10 people before - I love coming here for birthdays, they always give the birthday person a treat :) Ambiance: - Lovely decor and space - Every time I've come here, there's a DJ. I don't mind, but it's definitely not the typical brunch vibe you would expect as DJ can get loud.

    Such a cute brunch spot! I came here with a party of 3 on Sunday morning. We were seated after 10-15 minutes and the interior is so pretty! We ordered the Pandan Waffles and Fried Chicken, spring rolls, and Pho Banh Mi Dip. The pho was my favorite!! The portion was great and packed with a lot of flavor. The service was super quick and out server was nice. I would definitely come here again and try more dishes. So good!!

    We recently visited a modern fusion Vietnamese restaurant in Los Gatos for breakfast and brunch, which features a DJ. The place was bustling when we arrived, but fortunately, we had made a reservation a few days in advance. The interior is beautifully designed, resembling a Western restaurant rather than an Asian one. The restaurant offers full bar service, including cocktails, wine, and a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The menu is pleasantly concise. For appetizers, we chose the Banh Xeo Taco and Pho Poutine. For the main course, we ordered the Resting Brunch Face (RBF) and Crispy Pork Belly Fried Rice. We also tried the "Sleep When You're Dead" (Café Sua Da) and coconut coffee. The food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the Banh Xeo Taco and Crispy Pork Belly Fried Rice. The coffee was also excellent. While the prices are on the higher side given the portions, it's understandable given the Los Gatos location and the unique dining experience they aim to provide.

    Resting Brunch Face

    A heavily-hyped (by Tik Tok and Instagram influencers) brunch spot in downtown Los Gatos I was prepared to be bored by, yet surprisingly, despite all the flash, had decent food. I hate the ambiance. The DJ is too loud, tables are too tightly packed together, and everything about it screams Snapchat filters. Service was totally fine - though I never did figure out why they have robots on the side of the room. Parking is a nightmare. But the food: pretty good. The pandan waffle was well made, even though there are better options in East San Jose. The chicken that came with benefited from sauce. The tacos coated with shrimp had a nice distinct Vietnamese flavor. It's interesting fusion, especially for brunch, but it works despite all the glitz around it.

    Coconut Coffee

    This place left us absolutely speechless. The best thing about a restaurant is when they offer dishes you can't find anywhere else, and this is one of those places. Starting off with atmosphere, the dining room is elegant when it comes to the look and even the gold trimmed furniture. There was also surprisingly a DJ playing the entire time (throwback R&B jams that fit the brunch vibe). RBF: subbed the coffee syrup for coconut syrup and it paired really well with the pandan waffle. The chicken are thighs compared to some places that will just use tenders and the breading tasted so flavorful. Pho poutine: what I meant by something you can't find anywhere else! It's definitely meant to be shared - super filling and such a unique dish. Banh mi pho dip: probably our least favorite as the meat is definitely chewy, but the broth was really good. We would come back for sure! There's so many dishes we want to try.. but I don't know if I would even want to get anything else with how good the above was already!

    Loco Moco
    Jonathan T.

    Food Noodle please ($17) + Prawn ($10) - It was fine but I'd skip it. It's like garlic noodles and kind of on the heavier side. Loco Moco ($24) - I'd order this one again. It's a beef patty with a sunny side up egg on a bed of rice with gravy. Tasty and the pickled onions help cut some of the fattiness. There was a lot on the menu that seemed intriguing but there was only so much I could order. Service It was fine. Got seated almost immediately and food came out at a reasonable time. Nothing over the top but also not neglected. Ambiance They have a burger bot which is fun to watch. It's a nicer up scale restaurant. It's heavily Vietnamese inspired infusion spot.

    This place is great!! Loved the ambience! The vibe is kinda swanky when you walk in, but the service is super chill and the menu is casual Asian fusion brunch. Everything we had was delicious!! The Vietnamese coffee was BOMB!!! 5/5 would recommend! My friend & I shared the pork spring rolls (5/5), fo shizzle (4/5 - meat was super tender but a bit fatty for me, egg stuck to the bottom of the cast iron), and the ooh bae pancakes (5/5). Would absolutely come back & try more things! Bring your appetite. We were STUFFED!!

    such a unique asian fusion brunch place, especially with vietnamese dishes I've never thought i would see at a brunch spot! RBF 8/10 - this was their take on chicken and waffles. they made a pandan waffle (very viet) with a cafe su da (viet coffe) syrup, which i thought was super interesting, it actually tasted like a coffee thick syrup. the chicken was pretty big and juicy Vietnamese Coffee 7/10 - this was not bad, i like mine tasting like the classic vietnamese coffee, so if you want something more elevated and creamier, this is what they were going for Banh Xeo Tacos *discontinued* - these tacos were massive! and they loaded it up with the protein, it was more like 2 burritos. i actually enjoyed these alot since they grilled the protein, but it was a little hard to eat bar area is beautiful and they have live dj's here sometimes, which can get pretty loud and hard to talk, but love the ambiance and the decor here!

    Churro French toast
    Izzy T.

    ABSOLUTELY loved coming to this place, I actually came here two days in a row their interior and menu is so aesthetic also! First their pho poutine fries: what a fun unique combo of an appetizer that's both crispy and soft from the pho toppings. It's a LARGE plate too so you can definitely share this. Absolutely must have is the churro French toast, it's a Hawaiian sweet bun with a vanilla custard stuffed inside!! It comes with 4 pieces so it's the perfect little sweet treat to share. The loco moco was ok, only because I like my gravy a little more thick and this one was definitely thinner! RBF?! Amazing pandan waffle with three pieces of boneless chicken breast? Thigh? Either way deliciously crispy. It comes with a hazelnut syrup on the side and it all pairs wonderfully. Our server both days came to check in multiple times and the food comes out quickly! Definitely come check out the vibes! Sometimes they have a live DJ as well on weekends!

    Crispy pork belly fried rice
    Yuki K.

    Food tastes great but I'm noticing now that more than one dish had missing items (compared to menu description). We made a reservation but parking around the area is fairly difficult so plan to head there early. It was pretty loud with the DJ and birthday party or something but atmosphere was fun and upbeat. Each time we ordered, the food came out within 10 minutes. 1. Shrimp goi - Turned out to be like a salad/appetizer so we ordered another entree. Not sure if the Vietnamese vinegraitte was added on (not on side like in some pics) but the dish had a refreshing, bright, and acidic note - Came with 7 pieces of shrimp. The entire shrimp is easily eaten (only the tail still has the shell but it's pretty crunchy) - We didn't seem to get half of the described items like lettuce, green apple, possibly papaya, and purple onions. 2. Crispy pork belly fried rice - Pork cubes were halfway between crispy and soft/fatty. Red like Chinese char siu (barbequed) and delicious - Taste of truffle unagi sauce in the rice was pretty faint but overall rice texture and taste were excellent 3. Fo sizzle: Beef cubes were super tender as were the cooked cherry tomatoes! Also came with two poached eggs. There's quite a bit of sauce at the bottom - I think oyster sauce and other marinades so it tastes like shaking beef. 4. Big Hass omelette - Looks like the baguette was forgotten but the Fo Sizzle we ordered also came with one anyway - Seasoned potatoes come with ketchup on the side 5. Ube pancake (side order) - Ube taste isn't super prominent so the pancake is generally just sweet and fluffy. - Came with a slightly watered down (for texture) condensed milk that went well with the pancake

    Tofu salad

    You know when you go to an air bnb and the pictures online look gorgeous but you get there and it's really just cheap finishes that don't even appear to be clean? That's how breaking dawn felt I knew it wasn't going to be great when we came in for Sunday brunch and the place wasn't even busy. The menu is styled like a newspaper which is a cool idea but the menu was filthy and had huge grease spots on some of the pages. I ended up ordering the beef fo sizzle which is their most popular brunch item. $29 for 6 pieces of cubed beef, two unseasoned eggs, and half a banh mi roll. It was highkey robbery and wasn't even that good. After tip I paid $50 for my breakfast which was just the fo sizzle and a cup of tea! WTF? Service was ok, nothing to write home about. Oh also they have a giant robot burger machine in the middle of the restaurant which feels super weird given how much money they charge for their food. I can't give it 1 star because it wasn't AWFUL but i do think it was completely overpriced and just not good!

    Ask the Community - Breaking Dawn Brunch

    Is the dj playing during the morning hours on the weekends?

    We have a DJ on Saturdays and Sundays from 10-3!

    I'm thinking of taking my family of 6 for dinner in Carmel, but I've been hearing so many good things about this place just not sure if you serve dinner, do you? It's for our 29th year anniversary. Thank you in advance for your reply!

    Hi there! We are so happy that you've decided to dine with us! Congrats on 29 years! At night we turn into a dinner restaurant called First Born! Same building, different menu! Check us out on instagram @firstbornlosgatos or visit our website at… 

    When is the live music?

    When I had lunch/brunch, there was a DJ playing music which is not LIVE music.

    Are kids under 21 allowed inside? Me and my girlfriends have babies and just needed a quick brunch with the moms but we got turned down by a couple of restaurants. apparently, anyone below the age of 21 are not allowed to some restaurant-bars.

    I have definitely seen kids in there, but I would get there by 10:30 to make sure you get a good table. They don't take reservations as far as I know

    Is there anyway we can make a reservation?

    At this point there is no reservation. It's first come first serve. I had 16 people and still have to wait.… 

    Are DJ daily or just on weekends?

    Thursday thru Sunday's

    Do they take reservations? If so, do I just call?

    Not that I can tell, but you can always call ahead, especially if you're bringing a large party. I'm sure they'd appreciate the courtesy call.

Love the creativity. - Fun glassware: for some they have great receptacles to go with the personality of the drink - Theatrical ones: those are the creme de le creme and so much fun. I've had them all. Faves of those: -- Dead men tell no tales: pirate themed comes in a chest you can open and the drinks are in diamond shaped glasses. But it's not just a fun show. The drink is amazing. A smooth, complex, clarified bunch. 5 stars -- Magic carpet one: when they had that it was one of my faves I'd order regularly. 5 stars -- Rinse and repeat: one of their classics which comes in a bathtub complete with foam and a rubber duckie. Refreshing and not sweet. 4.5 stars - New for the summer. Tried a few -- Bear necessities: little honey bear with cantaloupe, white miso, and sauvignon blanc. Quite delicious and summery. 4.5 -- Open container: artsy clear version of a paper bag. Interesting ingredient mix with Havana club rum, fermented pineapple, almond milk, and others. Little bit sweet. 4 stars - Their now more standard drinks are still some of the ones I still rely one.

Some of my go tos -- Crab toasts: 4 little pieces of lovely toast with a dollop of avocado mousse and a heap of dungenous crab topped with lemon beurre blanc. My fave snack I always have to get. 5+ stars -- Grilled cheese: wonderful combo of white cheddar, monterey jack, and provolone with a bit of truffle flavor--not too much--on a nice fluffy roll. Served with soup to dip it in--often times a nice tomato. 4.75 stars -- French dip: solid version on the same type of roll. 4.5 stars - Can make reservations now online which makes it a lot more convenient - Wines: have a fabulous wine by the glass list but I can't ever pull myself away from the cocktails - Bourbon/whiskey: have a stellar collection and knowledgeable staff to tell you about them (but again never get to it) - Staff: friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable - Atmosphere: relaxed yet fun Midlights: - They used to have a nice nut mix I enjoyed but not on the menu anymore Lowlights: - Books up for the holidays so grab those reservations when you can

I ordered a Moscow Mule off menu and they were able to accommodate me! Every item off the menu was absolutely DELICIOUS! I didn't want it to end. We got the Brussels sprouts to start. They were perfectly cooked, moist, and tasty. I'd 100% recommend. Then we got the surf and turf spring rolls! They were amazing! The poke rice cakes were amazing and the fried mushrooms were delicious. The sauce they were served on was a perfect dip. Lastly, we got a tofu spaghetti dish. I'm not sure what it was called! It was also yum! Overall, the experience was immaculate. Our server, Sean, was the kindest. He brought us a purse holder for everyone, got down to our level to give recommendations, and cared! I'm coming back with more family.

I don't remember the name of our server but five that guy a raise because his service was exceptional! 5/5. The truffle fries were great. Perfect seasoning, crispy, and flavorful. We also got the crispy rice with spicy tuna - classic appetizer. We also had the longevity noodles and the steak. Beautiful presentation for both entree dishes and very delicious. The highlight dish for us were the savory waffles. Amazing flavor, airy and crisp. The butter that came with it was also SO GOOD on the waffle. Like who knew waffles could be so goooooood, and savory waffles...5/5 probably the best savory waffles I have ever had. Drinks! I almost forgot. My friend and I got the mango margs and they were so delicious! The cups they came in were refreshing the rim was lined with tajin.

The shrimp came with toasted bread for dipping. Everything was absolutely delicious and service was excellent. We were very lucky and got parking in the lot nearby. They have indoor and outdoor seating which is extremely nice. This is our second visit. I highly recommend this place since everything we tasted was fabulous and the sangria were huge.

    Telefèric Barcelona @telefericbarcelona…read more The Los Gatos location has a lively and stylish atmosphere, with warm and attentive service throughout our dinner. What we ordered: Pan Con Tomate Bruselas Pulpo Telefèric Smoked NY Steak Paella Ibérico Paella The Pulpo Telefèric and Smoked NY Steak Paella were definitely our favorites! The octopus was tender and flavorful, paired perfectly with the creamy potato underneath. The Smoked NY Steak Paella was actually from a previous visit and has since been discontinued, but it was easily our favorite paella. The steak was so tender and delicious, and we loved the rich flavors of the paella. @telefericbarcelona please bring this one back! For the Ibérico Paella, we enjoyed the flavors of the paella itself, but unfortunately both the Ibérico pork chop and chicken were too dry. Overall, a fun spot to enjoy Spanish tapas and share a paella with the table.

Every item I've tried has been delicious. The ingredients are always fresh, creative, and full of flavor. The cocktails are a huge plus (smooth, well-balanced, and a work of art!), the service is excellent, and the ambience is beautiful. Love the warm Middle Eastern vibe (makes me feel like I'm getting a glimpse of the culture). Definitely going back and want to try their brunch next! Pictures are some of the drinks and apps we had on my second visit.

Cool how it's located right next to Los Gatos Soda Works so we could just grab drinks next door after dinner. Design and ambiance was a nice blend of indoor and outdoor with plenty of seating. Lighting's immaculate outside with the soft natural sun coaxing around the redwood tree. Food's decent, not outstanding. Website says they're the same owners of Tamra, a restaurant that closed down a few years ago in Sunnyvale which we both coincidentally tried as well. The menu is actually pretty reminiscent of it. We ordered the pomegranate braised lamb shank, the confit duck pastilla, the date chermoula kufta, the Mediterranean trio, and a few cocktails. The unilateral thing that was missing from all dishes was spice. Maybe intentional, but the palate leaned into sweet and savory. The kufta was better than expected -- beefy, tender, flavorful, and great with the sweet & zesty sauces. The pastilla was the standout with fun flaky texture of the pastry and the nice warm shredded duck. The duck was seasoned well and was reminiscent of pork. The beet spread was fresh and light, the hummus was plain, the labneh was too loose imo - just tasted like Greek yogurt out of the container. Giving credit where it's due, the lamb shank was better than it was at Tamra. However, the flavors and textures all just kind of melded together so it lacked depth and interest. Had the familiarity of a basic beef stew. Onto service. Abysmal. It wasn't busy. Nobody there to greet at the door, wait staff just wandering aimlessly around, food's drop and go, took quite a while to get someone to take our order and receive our check. In a word, very transactional. If this was a pho restaurant or dim sum place, I'd be more lax about it but the service sure doesn't fit the market positioning of where this restaurant wants to be in. 3.5 overall for food. It's safe, uninspired, but very much decent. Gotta round down for the service.

All the drinks pair well with the wide range of food options on their extensive menu. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outside, plus several TVs throughout for watching sports. I ordered the Hop Holistics, a fresh, fruity Hazy IPA with a low 5.6% ABV, making it easy to enjoy more than one. I also tried the Alpha Dog West Coast IPA, which has a higher ABV and was another tasty choice, especially with my burger. I went with the smashburger and fries, and it was fantastic. Packed with flavor from the Memphis‑style BBQ sauce, avocado, and pickled red onions on a brioche bun. We were sharing it, and they even split it onto two plates for us -- a small touch we really appreciated. Only complaint was the bartender was NOT friendly at all. We felt like we were making him work. Definitely need to get someone that wants to work and not that guy! Despite this, we'll definitely be back to try more of the menu and enjoy another brew.

We were driving to Santa Cruz on Memorial Day and it was such jam packed crazy peak traffic taking hours to move a mile, we decided to detour and take exit to Los Gatos. Now I've been to this cute rich neighbourhood city couple of times and enjoyed a lot. We parked at nearby garage. It was so damn now so loved the outdoor seating concept with play area for kids. My son loved running around here! Beer flight was decent, I didn't like any of the 4 beers given. We had pesto chicken sandwiche. It was not warm and tasted very normal Fried were cold and not seasoned well too. But it's great for outdoor seating and chilling with friends and family Self service , but good and drinks were super quick to arrive.
