    (Ryan Reynolds voiceover) The vibe is fab cafe right next to Los Gatos High! Eddie warmly greeted me! Dio Frappé! New! Delish! Perfect sweetness! Macchiato! Traditional! mmhmm. That's right, ladies! Greek Yogurt avec Honey! Soo good! Would order everything again! Thanks, Eddie! Woohoo!

    This place is the ultimate date night spot to go to with your significant other. Our waiter was super friendly and very informative about the wine and food menu. My husband ordered the filet and it was cooked perfectly. I ordered the scallops with risotto and the flavor was incredible. We split the seafood pasta and while it was good, it wasn't nearly as incredible as our personal dishes we ordered. Their homemade tiziki was light and fresh and complimented their homemade bread. Overall, it was a great experience, worth the high price point! We would happily go back here for a special occasion again.

    Overall just okay. The food was decent but not standout for the price... the steak was tough and underwhelming, and the lobster pasta didn't resemble the online photos; the sauce was watery. Service was friendly but very slow and seemed understaffed toward the end, so we skipped dessert to avoid more waiting. An acceptable experience, but not one I'd return for.

    We are back for more delicious Greek food and wine and we love it here. Our waiter Dimitri has zero personality. We are ordering sashimi and scallops and Brussels sprouts since we had them on Saturday night when we sat at the bar and that was way more fun!!!

    Dio Deka is located in a lovely, safe, lively but quiet, neighborhood. From the moment we stepped in the doors to the moment we stepped out, we were greeted with courtesy and perfect service. The staff was quick, knowledgeable, friendly, and very attentive to when our water was low of if we needed a new napkin or silverware. They took extra care to bring a decanter for our bottle of wine, then they poured our wine and even gave us new glasses when we had a second different bottle. It's the little details that really make their quality of service stand out. The ambience is wonderful! Beautiful decorations that give a warm, upper class homey feel. The touch of having a fireplace inside brings out the romance. To top it off, the food is fabulous! Our party enjoyed the: octopus appetizer-cooked perfectly, lobster fettuccine-flavors were delectable, rib eye steak-seasoned well and cooked to perfection, seafood risotto- wonderful flavors and fresh seafood, pork chop- large and juicy and paired well with a slightly sweet topping Branzino- the fish was moist with a slight crisp, and the potatoes were perfectly cooked. For dessert, we could not make up our mind so we got: Cheesecake baklava- soft and creamy with a flaky baklava crust, Loukoumades-perfectly crispy and soft beignets, with just the right amount of sweetness, Yiaourti-thick, creamy, slightly tart yogurt, with the perfect sweetness from the berries. We came here for my mother's birthday. They truly made her feel like a queen. I would definitely come back and I recommend this place to everyone!

    The meal was consistent and clean, which I appreciated. The taste was mild and simple, not bad but lacking excitement. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere casual, so overall it felt like a fair three-star dinner.

    The lobster pasta was definitely the star of the show!

    I've been meaning to try this place for awhile. As a Greek, I pride myself to try the many different authentic Greek restaurants in the area. So when hubby suggested to go on a date night, I knew just where I wanted to go. I'd give this place 3.5 stars out of 5. This restaurant is tucked away from the busy downtown of Los Gatos. It's actually a restaurant part of a hotel. So if you aren't staying at the hotel, you have to park on the street. We didn't have any trouble finding street parking but you do get the sense that you are in a hotel ambiance. One of the highlights is walking into the entrance and seeing the beautiful fountain! We were immediately greeted and seated. The ambiance I'd say was decent. They have Greek music playing but the lighting could have been better. Now for the food. I had reviewed the recommendations from previous yelpers so I had an idea what to order. The main tip is yes, definitely order the Greek dishes as that is their specialty! For appetizers, we had the fried zucchini and the saganaki. Now the Saganaki is typically served flambé but they actually took a different spin to their saganaki. They serve it more sweeter, drizzled with honey. Apparently that's how the owners grandmother used to make it so I thought that was a nice touch. It was interesting for a saganaki though as I was used to more savory! The main meals were delicious. I had the lobster pasta and the sauce and the lobster melted in your mouth. It was also a generous portion which I appreciated. Hubby had the lamb shanks that were also tasty. The one thing to note about the meals is that you order the main dish (like lobster pasta or lamb shank) and you have to order the sides seperately (the potatoes, veggies, etc). I thought that was a little weird and not to mention it was costly for the amount as well. This is not very typical in Greece so I didn't think that part was that authentic. For dessert we had the baklava although at that point we were both ready to be rolled out of the restaurant because we were so full! The service was also pretty attentive and friendly. Overall I thought it was a nice place and we had a lovely time but I don't think I will be back. It doesn't compare to the caliber of the other Greek restaurants in Palo Alto that we go often to. You definitely feel like you are part of a hotel, not just its separate restaurant. Full disclosure, it was a tad forgettable in that sense, and the fact we had to order sides as extra kind of turned me off. However I am still glad I tried it. I'd recommend coming here for a date night to try it out for yourself! Just be prepared to pay extra for sides, feel as if it's part of a hotel and have it be semi-Greek authentic. And if you do come here, definitely get the lobster pasta!!!

    Amazing flat bread and great spreads!

    Best flatbread I have ever had Tom took me for lunch. The spreads are fresh and very tasty. Thank you Ruben for the suggestions on our order.

    Superb Greek food and wine, excellent service. Pleasant atmosphere. We went for our anniversary dinner and plan to go back for other big events! The tomato-watermelon gazpacho was superb!

    Went for a birthday dinner, thought we'd class it up a bit and go for some fine Greek dining at Dio Deka, which didn't disappoint. A couple of us had the Arni Youvetsi "lamb volcano shank", which was delicious and a sizeable portion. We also had the lobster pasta, which was great as well (as long as you don't mind looking at a lobster head ); rich and creamy sauce. Marco was an amazing server and gave great guidance on both food and drink. Ambiance is light, modern, and chatty. I haven't been here for a few years, but I have to come back sooner.

    Went to Dio Deka for my second time and I was absolutely blown away by the food and the service. We were there as a group of 12 to celebrate a birthday dinner; we were warmly greeted and had the most amazing server, Athos, who gave perfect food recommendations and was so lively that his presence really brightened our already wonderful evening. The cocktail menu is a little short and not my style so Athos recommended a raspberry mojito and it was the best mojito I've had, such strong mint flavor! We ordered spanikopita, octopus, and carrot fritters as appetizers and all three were delicious. The char and flavor on the octopus was so good! I finally found an octopus to rival the one at Hero Ranch Kitchen :) I had the lobster pasta for my entree and the ekmek for dessert and both were full of flavor and unlike other dishes I've had before. I also tried a friend's baklava and it was the best I've ever had. Thank you to Dio Deka and Athos for such a fun, memorable evening!

    Excellent food but check the prices before you go. All very good. Lamb shank favor was a solid 10/10!

If you're hoping to sit inside, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. The service was wonderful from start to finish. My friend and I both ordered the smash burger and I've got to say it was easily one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned so well. The sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and absolutely delicious. And whatever you do, DO NOT skip the bread pudding. It was a 1000/10! Not overly sweet, perfectly balanced, and the texture was incredible. If you're on the fence about dessert, just order it, you won't regret it. The only minor downside was that the sodas were very flat and tasted a bit syrupy. Other than that, everything was fantastic. The prices were reasonable, the portions were generous, and the overall experience was excellent for such a cute spot in downtown Los Gatos. Will definitely be returning soon!

The croissant was not as soft as I would have liked and tasted a little stale. Overall, not much flavor. - hash-browns. These were good! Best part of my meal. Cooked perfectly: soft on the inside with a nice crispy outside. - fried chicken sandwich: it was supposed to come with Dutch crunch but it didn't- sad.

We had made the reservation for a hightop since that's all that was available inside, but to our delight we were seated at an actual table when we arrived. Two of us ordered a variety of apps and one main to share. We started with the beef tartare, cabbage, oysters, and beet crostini, then got the duck pappardelle ragu. To drink we each ordered two different cocktails. I loved the pasta, both of my martinis, and the cabbage. My boyfriend pointed out that the cabbage didn't taste a lot like miso or chili oil, which is what he was excited for, but this was still one of my favorite dishes. The ragu didn't have a ton of meat, but it was still so good, I would without a doubt order it again. The oysters were also good, but at $4 a pop, I'll enjoy those on a Wednesday when they have them on special for half the price. The beef tartare wasn't super oniony, which I did like, but the meat pieces were a little bigger than I'd expect and it just felt like it was missing something. The beet crostini was good, but it felt a little pricey for what it was and I would skip it next time. Service was fine, it felt like they were understaffed and could have definitely benefited from having another person or two on the floor.

The cauliflower came out blazing fast (even before the drink arrived). Then there was a long wait before mains arrived. At the end, the waitress gave me the wrong bill (always check before you pay!) - Cauliflower, $20 (5*) Cooked perfectly. Carrot puree was to die for. Great flavors. Nice spice kick. - Burger, $27 (3*) Asked for medium- it was well done. The burger itself got a bit soggy. - Fries, $12 (5*) Slight crisp, good seasoning. Nice sauce. - Value (2*) The burger comes on its own with no sides. So, when you think about it, it's a $39 burger with fries. That's pretty high. - Final Word Used to love this place, but there feels like a little lack of care now. I would also note that the 4 course prix fixe pricing seems a bit out of whack if the chef is simply picking things off the menu. Unless they included a full portion of the steak, you might not get to $97 adding 4 things up.

To eat three of us shared some apps, mains, and desserts. We started with the Mixed greens and heirloom beets salad and Delicata squash, then got the Mushroom pasta and Argentinian steak, and finished with the Molten chocolate bomb and Basque style cheesecake. The starters were good, they just weren't my first choice, there were others on the seafood section that I wanted to try more, but that's a reason to go back. Both entrées were great, the steak was cooked perfectly with the most delicious chimichurri, and I couldn't get enough of the mushroom pasta. I would get either of these again. I was still a little hungry after the food, but that left room for dessert and not leaving the restaurant uncomfortably stuffed. We brought our own bottle of wine but also got cocktails there. I didn't like my cocktail very much, but everyone else liked thiers, and I tried a sip of the martini and really liked that. They did have a pretty massive wine selection, so very easy to find something you'll like. We made fairly last minute reservations the day before we wanted to go, three of us looked and all got different availability options on open table, but luckily it allowed me to book. The only option was the covered outdoor patio on what was a very intense rainy night, but that patio is sturdy and rain resistant.

The meat wasn't as tender as I would expect for a $55 petit cut of NY. The pasta was the spicy version but it want spicy at all. Not sure the noodles were made fresh. The sauce was well proportioned to the pasta and freshly grated Parmesan was a good addition. We LOVED the cucumber salad and highly recommend. It was probably the best thing we ate. We finished with the panda cotta which was very flavorful and had good texture as panda cotta can come too gelatinous and firm or too runny. This was done well with fresh berries on top. All in all we enjoyed our dinner and the service was impeccable. I won't order the steak next time but venture out to another entree like the pork chop.

Celebrated my bf's birthday here on a Thursday night. I read great reviews about this place, specifically the steak, so took the gamble and booked reservations. It is a Michelin recognized restaurant so had high expectations and wow were they exceeded ! We were running late and so gave a call to see if we can still be accommodated which was no issue at all or rush. Upon arrival we were greeted with a happy birthday and welcomed with a delicious, homey, & warm chicken broth to start our visit. Hostess then guided us to our table and on the walk you see the candy table and the beautiful open kitchen. Ambience is fine dining meets modern day with beautiful shades of blue with just enough dim lighting to make it intimate for your table. Volume decent enough to have conversation. When we sat there was already a birthday card and my bf was very happy and excited. It included a bday card with staff signatures and a $2 bill - it was so cute! Our server was Aaron who was outstanding. He had great suggestions without being pushy and was very honest on recommendations. He listened to our requests and guided us with a delicious meal based on our preferences. We also were not rushed during the whole dining experience - the timing between getting orders and checking in was perfect. We had enough time to finish each meal without scarfing ourselves or crowding our table with other food. & there was never a wait for service. This we really appreciated and found unique to our dining experience. Staff also were quick to provide refills. To the food ! We were given complimentary vegetable crudite - seasonal fresh cooled veggies and a flavor bomb of a dip ! Cream cheese, white miso, garlic, & other stuff. Who would've thought simple veggies can be yummy. Next our drinks came in and we had time to sip and look at the menu. Delicious schramsberg wine which is now my fave and apparently can get bottomless during their brunch buffett ! We ordered the trio of bread, all of which were delicious, but wow the rolls ! Soft, warm & fluffy. Then got the ravioli verde, ribeye, & pork fried rice. Originally wasn't going to get the fried rice but Aaron recommended it and I am so glad he did. I could've just ate that for my meal and been satisfied. It was savory, crispy & very flavorful. Italian American meets Asian flavors without being overwhelming. The ribeye medium rare cooked to perfection and perfectly paired with the "funky onions" & demi. We had everything on the side. Steak was a good quality and tasty steak, but with the onions and demi that's where it shined and separated itself from other high quality steaks. It was delicious with the rice. Ravioli was tasty as a pre-meal and glad I swapped to it bc we did order pretty heavy. Prob one of the best steaks we had. And we are steak eaters ! My bf tied it with his #1 steakhouse. Overall all the food was more than enough for the two of us to share. Then ofc ended our night with the table flambé sticky toffee pudding which was immaculate! I will say the caramel was either over cooked or too much alcohol bc there was a bitter taste towards the end. But the dulce de leche ice cream helped balance the bitterness. We also got a complimentary s'mores ice cream cake for the bday ! It was yummy, but too sweet with the marshmallow but again the chocolate and cherries created balance. 5/5 star review I am so looking forward to dining again. I definitely believe that they deserve a Michelin star if that's what they are aiming for. We do plan to try out their brunch buffet one day. Shout out to the whole staff for making this a memorable experience and a 10/10 birthday celebration! We will be back !

    Where do I even begin to start about brunch at Be.Steak.A. This is indeed a special dining…read moreexperience. My bestie and I came here for their all you can eat buffet brunch on Mother's Day. We started out with complimentary glasses of Prosecco and sparkling cider while we waited to be seated. There was a little delay in getting our table, but it wasn't really a problem because we were chatting and enjoying the drinks. Before we entered, they had a floral photo wall where we took a photo together to memorialize the experience. And when we sat at the table, they had placed a lovely Mother's Day card on the table signed by the staff. The decor at Be.Steak.A is modern and feels very upscale. I think the bathrooms say a lot about a restaurant's attention to detail, and the bathrooms at Be.Steak.A were elevated - essential oil infused salt scrub to wash your hands, bidets, etc. The brunch buffet is just as described - hot items and pastries in the kitchen (so cool), a caviar bar outside, a separate station for cold seafood, another station for fruit and charcuterie, and then assorted desserts on the bar. The food was excellent. We started with the caviar -- the options and accouterments were plentiful and delicious. The caviar bar was so fun and felt luxurious. This was one of the highlights of the whole experience for me. For the other seafood, we enjoyed oysters, shrimp, crab legs, and other little seafood dishes, which unfortunately weren't labeled, so we didn't always know what we were eating. My friend had some dietary restrictions she was concerned about, so that was a little frustrating for her. But my favorite bite of the entire day was one of those unmarked seafood dishes- I wish I could tell you what it was -I think it was possibly squid. But it was so fresh and flavorful. Yum! The hot food in the kitchen was a neat experience. They had skewers and prime rib and many other dishes to choose from. I kept coming back to the seafood skewers. We were a little bummed that the beef Wellington was just gone when we entered the kitchen. There was still about another hour and a half of brunch service left so that was a disappointment for us. They also had numerous pasties and this amazing bread pudding that I drizzled a Nutella sauce over and added some strawberries to. This was probably my third favorite bite of the day (after the little seafood dish and the caviar experience). I'd be remiss if I didn't give the truffled deviled eggs from the charcuterie area a shout out. These were so good we kept going back for more. The desserts were good but a number of them were a little dry, I have to say. Surprisingly, my favorite was a little passionfruit tart that had just the right amount of sweetness. I'm usually a chocolate kinda gal but there weren't that many chocolate options, I have to say. A few other things- our server was lovely and gave us a lay of the land to start. She made sure we had any drinks we wanted and plenty of extra silverware. While there just aren't as many touch points with a server at a buffet, the interactions we did have were very positive. And even though I was disappointed that they ran out of the Beef Wellington, I was so impressed with how they kept replenishing and refilling the other dishes right up to the end of the buffet. This was an incredible dining experience. I'd highly recommend this brunch buffet experience for special occasions. I'm looking forward to dining here for dinner in the not so distant future!

    Hercules is a fantastic spot to grab a bite - it has a gorgeous atmosphere paired with truly…read moreexceptional food. We've tried their fish, carnitas, and birria tacos - all of which were amazing, though the birria and fish tacos were the clear standouts. The mango paired with the crispy fish is a true winner & you can't beat the ultimate comfort food of the birria taco. The presentation of the food is also stunning, with dishes served beautifully on black slate plates and mini cast-iron pans. I have to give a special shout-out to the chef: this is officially the only restaurant where I have actually finished the accompanying sides of refried beans and rice. They were absolutely outstanding! If you haven't been to Hercules yet, it is a must-visit. Don't miss out on their great drinks either--the hibiscus margarita is highly recommended!

    I was very very pleased with the food and our experience here. We came here on a Saturday night and…read moreI was very surprised that it wasn't busier than it was for the location being great and the food being wonderful. Enjoyed the large tables, lights and ambiance. Would be a fun place for a group to get together. Now for the food - we were very happy with everything we ordered. We started with the queso fundido which was smaller than I expected but very good! For entrees we tried the quesabirria and fish tacos. The birria taco may have been my favorite bite! Delicious!! The enchiladas trio was also well executed. Tried the TJ Caesar Salad, the tamales and the chips and guac. The guac was another star, but the tamales were probably my next favorite bite. I would recommend trying 1 of each of the flavors. All were good and the sweet corn tamale was a surprise hit!! Would definitely come back here again!

Sweet of our server to ask them to split it for us. -tagliatelle & truffle cream sauce (5/5) chicken was tender & flavors were great, the truffle wasn't overpowering at all -chicken parm with fettuccine (5/5) really good flavors & the chicken still had a lil crisp for parts not drenched in the savory marinara sauce We also got a mocktail; I got one topped with a lychee, very refreshing & not too sweet. Our server was very attentive & fun to talk to. Thanks for taking great care of us! Will def be back for their yummy homemade pasta :) Ambiance is nice, glad we were able to sit in the back away from the hustle & bustle in the main area.

    I ordered pasta bolognese. The sauce was too soupy with little bit of beef in it. You know when you…read moretrim your nails and then you clean up and hold the mess in the middle of your palm? That's how much beef in the plate and I can't pick up with my fork because they're so tiny it fell right off! The girl next table ordered the same thing and my reaction was "oh no...." The pasta texture was kinda hard and crumbly as if it was cooked last night half way thru and reheat in the microwave just before serving. Everything was just so wrong and I eventually had to tell the waitress to take it away and she was kind enough to not charge me for that plate. Me and my friend shared the seafood linguine with white wine sauce which turned out to be pretty good so that's the 2 stars. This is also the first time I've ever had to send a dish back to kitchen.
