They just opened last year so I guess not many people know about it. But the drive up is rough and winding. The one way dirt road is shared with hikers too. It is sister winery to Mount Eden. Mount Eden is only open weekdays while Domaine Eden is only open weekends. They serve both wineries' wines for tasting. They have 5 tasting flights varying from $30, $40, $45, $60, and $65. 3 wines per flight and they pour a good portion. We got to try 3 different flights to share. Mount Eden Estate , Chardonnay, and Cabernet flight. All the wines were pretty good. Fruit forward and bold. Our favorites were the first Chardonnay , Pinot noir Tanaka project , and Cab from Mount Eden library. I believe it was 3 bottles purchase to waive a tasting fee. Pricey wines. There was only one male staff. He was friendly and made sure we had enough shade when the umbrella shade moved. You can bring outside food. Nice Mountain View.

Overall, the food was decent, but the ambiance is definitely the highlight. It's a beautiful place and perfect for taking pictures!

We visited Gardenia in Los Gatos on a Sunday morning around 10 a.m., and unfortunately, the…read moreexperience was very disappointing. The restaurant was less than 10% full, yet several items listed on the menu were unavailable. It was surprising to be told that they were already out of multiple options that early in the morning with so few customers. The seating was dirty and did not appear to have been properly cleaned before we sat down. The coffee was also terrible and served cold, which made the experience even worse. What was most disappointing, however, was the service. The staff did not come across as professional or attentive, and overall, we did not feel that the level of service matched what you would expect from a restaurant in Los Gatos. Between the cleanliness, cold coffee, unavailable menu items, and unprofessional service, we left very disappointed. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Gardenia and hope management takes these issues seriously and makes improvements.

I drove 45 minutes to Hakone Gardens recently at the end of March and found out that most of the cherry blossoms were gone. I was like whaaaa....I usually go during the end of March and they would be in full bloom. Apparently, they bloomed earlier this year. I was looking forward to seeing the wonderful pink color all around. Anyways, Hakone is still a treat to walk around and is very nice when the flowers are blooming. I love sitting near the beginning of the trail and looking at the ponds, bridge, koi fish and all the trees. It transports me to Japan without the airfare and passport. Parking can be difficult on busy days and will be waiting for awhile for someone to leave. Gift shop is cute and there are many cute finds in there. Admission is now $12 but parking is still free.

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.

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.

The venue is situated on a beautiful property and our group had the best photos. During our reservation, we were warmly looked after by Tamara, Owen and Corbin. Each provided great service and were wonderful hosts! For the wines, our group's favorites were the Sauvignon blanc and GSM. Since it was quite hot, the Sauvignon blanc was perfect! Despite the heat, we were very comfortable because of all of the umbrellas providing ample shade. A huge plus for us was that they were dog friendly too so we were able to bring 2 of our pups with us. We'll definitely be back here again!

My husband and I return to the Inn at Saratoga every year to celebrate our wedding anniversary,…read moresince we got married just down the road at Saratoga Springs. It's become our tradition and this place always makes it feel special. This year we had to cancel our stay unexpectedly due to a personal emergency, just a week before we were set to arrive. Both Booking.com and the Inn at Saratoga handled it with so much understanding and compassion -- no hassle, no pushback, just genuine kindness during a stressful time. We already planned to keep coming back every year, but this experience made me want to leave a review specifically to recognize their customer service. It means a lot when a business treats you like a person and not just a reservation. We can't wait to be back next year to celebrate again. Highly recommend this inn -- beautiful property, wonderful staff, and a business that clearly cares about its guests.

The team was also incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. They were helpful throughout our entire engagement, regularly checking in to make sure we were on track, and we did a full walkthrough with them and our wedding planners before the wedding. They were very understanding and accommodating of all of our requests. One thing I especially appreciated is that they genuinely try to help couples save money when that is a priority. Compared with many Bay Area venues, I found them to be extremely reasonable, especially for a Saturday wedding at around $10K for the venue. Also - they allow a huge guest count (we had 260) and that was amazing! One of the few in the Bay to do so. It was also very important to us that they allow outside caterers. We are Indian and really wanted to be able to choose the food and caterer that felt right for our wedding, so having that flexibility was a huge plus. There was another wedding happening at the venue at the same time as ours, which I initially wondered about, but it honestly was not an issue at all. We barely heard them, and everything felt very relaxed and separate. Overall, we had such a great experience. The setting was beautiful, the team was helpful and easy to work with, and the pricing and flexibility made it an especially great option for a Bay Area wedding. Highly recommend!
