    Lamb chop
    Sonia H.

    This is a restaurant that has nice decor, great vibe and comfortable seatings that people would want to hangout with friends to have a nice meal. Service is great and I especially love the plates and utensils they have. Beets salad: it has yellow and red beets. This is a great starter for beets lovers! Steak appetizers: it has tender steak bites. The seasoning is a little sweet more like Korean bbq flavor. Lobster risotto: the lobster is juicy. The risotto is very al dente. I prefer creamier risotto consistency. Lamb chops: it's juicy and well seasoned. I especially like the side potatoes that's crispy and flavorful. The restaurant opened at 5 pm and by 5:30 pm it's already filled up. Definitely make a reservation before you plan to come.

    An all-around fabulous experience. Amanda was an amazing, definitely next level service. It all went together well; ambiance, service, food and cocktails. As for food, beef carpaccio and Caesar salad were excellent. As a group we ordered duck breast, Misoyaki black cod, lamb shanks and I ordered the Nero royale linguine. Mine was good, but in all honesty I enjoyed the bite of all the other dishes way more. The linguine just didn't have the complexity of the other dishes. As for cocktails, as a group, which I had taste of each, we had the flowers old-fashioned, kiwi do you love me, Stone fruit sour, garden of Eden, bottle service and day at the spa mocktail. All were good and their own right. The cherry on top was we came for our 29th Anniversary, but didn't say anything until we got here. They made it special despite being notified last minute, wow! Of course dessert didn't disappoint either.

    Flowers Saratoga is a lively and visually stunning restaurant with an inventive menu and beautifully handcrafted cocktails. It's absolutely the kind of place designed to impress for a special occasion, with a price point that reflects the experience. The service was warm, energetic, and welcoming from start to finish, beginning with the front desk and continuing through the attentive staff at our table. Every appetizer felt like a conversation piece, taking familiar ingredients and presenting them in creative ways with unexpected textures and flavor combinations. One standout dish featured burrata stuffed inside a hollowed out tomato, which was both clever and genuinely fun to eat. The misoyaki cod was an exceptional interpretation of the classic miso cod, perfectly prepared and deeply flavorful. For dessert, the panna cotta with raspberry sauce was easily my favorite, light, silky, and the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience and a memorable night out.

    Hummingbird cocktail - so good

    4-5 stars for the food, 10 stars for the service (if I could!). Big shout out to Amanda! If I were the owner I'd send her to French laundry because you're not going to find other wait staff that's this fantastic. Flowers has the perfect mix of beautiful decor, Michelin level service, and great food without the stuffiness of a snooty, Michelin restaurant. This is what we ordered: Salmon nigiri - 5/5 soo good! There could have been a tad more salmon but it was so fresh. Seriously more fresh and buttery than the sushi restaurant down the street. Tuna tacos - 5/5 my favorite! Crispy wonton tacos stuffed with fresh tuna, along with creamy wasabi and sriracha aioli. Miso Cod - 4/5 this would be soo good but the miso was so salty. Maybe it was an off night. For cocktails, hummingbird was so delish - not too sweet and like with everything else, the presentation was top notch.

    Lovely interior design with flower themes and great decor. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Each dish has its unique taste and texture: crispy fried rice, Burrata Cheese with tomatoes, scallops, lobster risotto, lamb chop, miso cod. Strongly recommend.

    The ambiance is lovely, the restaurant is a flower theme (subtle and not over the top). I would describe it as romantic, they have fresh flowers on the table in a cute bud vase (so cute). Is perfect for date night. Service is great. Our waitress was attentive Food was pretty and tasted yummy. My only small complaint was I wish the scallops were hotter. It was a bit lukewarm and not piping hot. But it was a minor thing.

    Celebrated Father's Day here and they were running a special where if you ordered a specific $65 steak dish, they gave you a Bourbon cocktail "for free" - we totally fell for it. The focus of Flowers is definitely on the food's artistic presentation as well as the restaurants overall ambiance, being very cute and feminine. Lots of flowers sprinkled in the dishes (the name is making sense now) and overall just beautiful to look at, but a tiny bit lacking in the flavor department. The scallops were pretty good but just a tad salty, but I enjoyed the lamb chops. The steak that they were raving promoting was plated gorgeously but was not that great of a cut. Otherwise the service was excellent!

    This was my second time coming to Flowers. This time I came for my birthday. We ordered drinks and I decided to get the cantarito. It was definitely tart in refreshing way. Our server was great at explaining the drinks and menu . It was pretty busy for a Friday so make a reservation if you can. We've been able to do walk in and waited a bit. As for food, I ordered the shrimp cigars and the beet salad. The shrimp was a little greasy but the sauce had good citrus flavor. I absolutely loved the beet salad. It definitely tasted like spring. My husband got the pork chop and I ordered the filet. I also wanted to try the risotto. My steak was cooked perfectly and the whipped butter they added...so good. This will not be the last time I come for dinner.

    Miso Cod with ... maybe Korean Rice?
    Oliver C.

    Friendly and welcoming staff, a very pretty interior and the food was nicely presented and very tasty. If you reserve online there is a penalty for a less than 24hr cancellation policy. I happen to call in same hr, on the way to the restaurant to make a reservation, so this wasn't a consideration. Someone welcomed me in and shook my hand upon entry as the hostess was walking me to a table. Maybe the owner? Warm welcome, but a quick intro would have been nice. Or maybe he thought he recognized me. Neighboring table had their food delivered right before we ordered. The food looked delicious. We ordered completely different dishes and our food looked equally nice. Well the cod plate looked a little empty and maybe could have used a tiny bit of vegetable. But an additional quick side order was handled expeditiously. I look forward to a future visit and dining experience here.

    We've been here for birthday celebrations and again we came because of their availability for big party reservations and overall decent food and service. Our waiter was warm and friendly. He took countless photos for us and took care of everything, including the ice cream cake that I brought in. And there's no corkage fee! Big bonus for a birthday celebration! The menu added a couple things but the two times I came it was both the winter menu. Overall the portions are quite large, for Shared apertizers, we ordered 2 for our party of 8. For entrees, we ordered 1-2, the lamb is so big that we just got one and there's left over. Crispy Rice Shrimp $30: crispy rice topped with a creamy avocado edamame crush, ponzu marinated shrimp, finished with a touch of kizami wasabi and crispy fried leeks offering a gentle heat that lingers. OK, our bad that none of us read the description carefully, as we all thought it was some crispy rice paper that with shrimp on top. The flavor is good but the whole thing was mushy other than the top crisps. So we were a bit blindsided by the word "crispy" on the menu. Flowers Wagyu Mini Slider Trio $30: mishima reserve wagyu beef, brioche bun, espresso truffle aioli, tomato jam, micro arugula. You can hardly wrong a small burger, wagyu or not. I mean there's wagyu, truffle and brioche bun, not much you can criticize. And it's a good volume filler too in case you want to maximize on the appetizers. Beet Carpaccio $20: red & gold beets, arugula, candied walnuts, boursin cheese, champagne vinaigrette, balsamic drizzle. The 2 kinds of beets are thinly sliced at the bottom of the plate with arugula covered on top. I like this texture more than the chunky beets. Portion is not too big for 8 people sharing, but flavor is good. Misoyaki Cod $42: black forbidden rice, carrots, celery, sauteed red & yellow bell peppers, garlic, shallots. Cod is flaky and nicely cooked, I wish the black forbidden rice has more flavor. Everyone probably thinks the same as we couldn't even finish all the rice. Lamb Ossobuco $48: creamy polenta infused with gruyere, caramelized shallots, roasted carrots, chive oil, cabernet demi-glace. This dish is huge in volume! The lamb is soft and the polenta is creamy. Seared Duck Breast $42: herbed risotto, cherry cabernet demi-glace, argula, meyer lemon vinaigrette. The duck is heavy in flavor and delivered a strong punch to the taste bud! The meat is not overly sauced so we could taste the duck more in its authentic way. The meat was served as a whole piece, so for sharing we had to cut it up on our own. 8oz Prime Filet $50: au-gratin yukon potato with garlic cream, bacon wrapped asparagus, cabernet demi-glace. Everything tasted good! The potato cake was presentable and delish, the steak was cooked to perfection and soft texture of meat. We also added a Truffle Parmesan Fries side. The fries are thin and crispy with good truffle flavor. Another hard to not miss item. For birthday celebration, we were gifted of 2 complementary plates of desserts. I didn't try it but the mini chocolate cup with some red berry mousse inside received good feedback. I loved the small chocolate wafer balls rolled around the mini cups. Overall it was a pleasant experience for our birthday party. We were largely left alone for our girls chats, but our waiters skillfully inserted themselves in refilling water and removing dirty dishes without being a bother or distraction. I like that it's a high end ambience but not uptight and formal.

    Tomato Stuffed with Burrata
    Melanie E.

    This was our second visit to Flowers. The food was exceptional! We really enjoyed the burrata appetizer, the flavors were really fresh and showed off the produce. This was our second time ordering the lobster risotto. The lobster was perfectly cooked, grilled for even more flavor. The risotto was al dente and the perfect complement to the lobster. The filet mignon was delicious and was paired with an outstanding potato gratin. We shared our entrees, the best way to fully enjoy the bounty offered at Flowers. Regrettably, we didn't have room for dessert.

    **3.5 stars Drink/Food: Island Vibes + Sides (Brussels with Bacon and Truffle Fries) + Tuna Wonton Tacos + Flowers Wagyu Mini Slider trio + Panna Cotta Price: $10 | Sides were $12 EA | $26 | $30 | $18 Overall: I came here for dinne to catch up with my sister. We got seated at the bar around 6PM. The aesthetic of the restaurant is floral and pink which was very cute. Once we ordered, the drinks were quick but the food took about more than 45 minutes. My favorite bites were the Tuna Wonton Tacos and the Brussel Sporuts with Bacon. I think that the appetizers are on the pricer side but it is better to share these with another person. This is a nice spot to take a friend and wine down here.

    Bread pudding
    Sally A.

    I stopped by this spot for the first time after a nearby photoshoot, hungry and a little indecisive. Yelp led us here, and after briefly considering the place next door, the host let us know they had bar seating available at their sister restaurant. We took the offer and were seated right away on a Friday evening. From the first round of drinks, it was clear this place takes presentation seriously. Nearly everything arrives dressed with delicate floral touches. We ordered the Blanco Franco, a bright and flavorful tequila cocktail, along with an Old Fashioned and one of their signatures, the Hummingbird. That one was the showstopper, topped with a cloud of Turkish cotton candy that was a tasty treat. For the mains, we went with the blackened salmon plate and the seared duck breast. The salmon was beautifully plated and paired with a creamy, distinctive sauce that made each bite feel intentional. The duck breast was tender and well-executed. Both plates were so delicious! Dessert sealed the deal. We followed our bartender Eli's recommendation and ordered the bread pudding, which turned out to be rich, warm, and completely worth the indulgence. Between the atmosphere, attentive service, and thoughtful presentation, the whole experience felt elevated without being pretentious. It's an excellent choice for a celebration or just a night when you want something a little special. I'd happily return next time I'm in the area!

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.

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.

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

The only thing that wasn't really our favorite was the deviled eggs, but everything else was solid. Overall, a great spot for a drink and a few bites. Definitely one of those places I'll be coming back to, especially since there are still quite a few things on the menu I'd like to try.

The gnocchi itself was sizeable and decent. Fries (4/5) - medium shoe string cut fries that were hot, crispy, and lightly seasoned. So fresh and right out of the deep fryer. Parkside Bread Pudding: vanilla gelato, pecan praline (4/5). This was delicious. Therese was told by the kitchen staff that they unfortunately ran out of the pecan praline when she brought it out. Though, it was still decadent and divine. Therese even brought us a complimentary beignets for a birthday celebration. We will be back! Congratulations to Los Gatos Parkside on almost 3 years here in LG. Support your local business.

    I was invited by my daughter to check out this hidden gem in Los Gatos and absolutely love it! I've…read morebeen here twice, and both times, I've had a very pleasant and welcoming experience. 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.

    Cute dinner place and great location in Los Gatos with street parking and a small lot around the…read morecorner. I managed to get a spot during peak dinner time last night. 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.

    I had high hopes for this upscale Mediterranean spot in downtown Campbell. Lots of hype, but the…read morefood was average and service was all over the place. I thought some dishes were great; the wagyu burger was decadent. Other dishes were not that special. The scallops didn't taste too fresh (likely frozen) and combining them with hummus didn't quite work. The side of bread was practically insulting. $5 for stale table bread was a surprise. Dishes arrived very late; we were nearly forgotten when we tried to order, and then after ordering, we waited 40 minutes between appetizers and the main course. Not because they were cooking it; they just forgot we were there and when they brought out the dishes, the scallops were no longer just-cooked, and the burger had been sitting for a bit. No apology, just an acknowledgment it was late, and no discount (not even on the stale bread). They offered us wine, we said we didn't drink, and they just moved on. I debated a lot about how to review this. It's my personal experience that was disappointing, and I'm glad some reviews are very upbeat. But there's a handful of reviews noting frustrating delays... and that needs to be worked on.

    Lira is a well run quality restaurant with a super tasty burger and outstanding staff…read more I really like the lit-up bar and comfortable outside seating. The huge windows are perfect for people watching. A great spot to get a drink and a tasty meal this winter,

    Based on yelp reviews, we chose this for our date night! This place had very cozy, candle light…read moredinner atmosphere. We did not reserve so it was just walk in, but luckily got seated. I would suggest reservation. Service was excellent, our attendant made us feel comfortable. Food was excellent! Truffle fries : Generally we have never finished fries. These fries are so good that we didn't realized how quickly we devoured them :). Spicy seafood pasta : This dish is creamy heaven! Amazing quantity, lots of creamy sauce. There were plenty clams and few shrimps. If you're in mood to indulge, definitely go for this. Spice comes from red paper flakes which doesn't overpower original dish, perfect ! Beet salad: I decided to order this based on other reviews and I'm glad I did ! One of the best beet salad, perfect for summers. Very refreshing! Skewers: They are perfectly grilled chicken skewer with some glaze on it. I found the glaze too sweet but my husband loved. I had spice nice cocktail, which was ok, I would try something else next time! Overall amazing place, Highly recommended !

Wagyu sliders - $5 each. The pattie was a good size, and it was super juicy with some melted cheese on top. The buns were perfectly toasted and this was honestly my fav item we ordered 2. Fried calamari - if you enjoy bigger calamari rings with thin crispy breading, this place does it well! Comes with 1 red sauce and their green tangy aioli. The portions were pretty good on this dish as well 3. Mac and cheese truffle bites - these were huge! I was expecting them to be as small as top golf's balls are haha but it comes with 3 huge balls. The pasta noodle itself was cooked to perfection, al dente and not super mushy. I was pleasantly impressed with this one and it came with the same green aioli sauce 4. Tomahawk steak - $7 each, honestly this is a confusing one. I was expecting steak bites similar to how a regular carne asada taco is, but it came in one huge chunk of meat, which wasn't even the best quality or cooked well. This is a skip For drinks we got the mango deck drink and the presentation was super fun! They lit it on fire and the chamoy stick was soft and easy to eat. Drink itself tasted sweet and easy to down in 1 big gulp! Overall the happy hour items offer lots of variety and our server was great!
