Happy Hops IPA 6.5%ABV - Russian River Brewing Co., Windsor, CA ($9)

John D.

Big Dill Offshoot restaurant to the adjoining, similarly named Lelé Café next door, it features a fusion menu of Eastern European classics with modern California twists. The Good: * Reservations via OpenTable * Private shared parking lot with tons of space. * Service was great as the waitstaff worked together as a team to take care of you. * Constantly changing seasonal menu * Romantic and classy ambiance, and a great spot for a date night or celebratory meal. * Beers on tap, as well as mead and a full oeuvre of fermented grapes, as well as a certified sommelier on staff. * "Trust the Chef" seven-course tasting menu ($159/ea) with available wine pairings ($60-99/ea). We would've normally gone for this, but they had a lot of stuff on the menu that we weren't necessarily interested in trying, so we opted to go à la carte instead. * The Sweet & Savory Macaron might be one of the strangest and most delicious things I've ever tried. It made me giggle after eating it because it was such a unique experience. Definitely give it a go! * Mushroom Draniki was utterly fantastic and again a great combo of the light and airy potato pancake (draniki) mixed with the savory umami of a myriad of mushrooms combined with fresh dill that just danced on our palates. Definitely the dish of the night. * Pommes Dauphine was another winner and basically a potato hush puppy that was crispy on the outside and full of a delicious creamy mashed potato filling. * Calamansi cake was delicious and not overly sweet with a great citrus punch. The Meh: * No outdoor dining * Not the cheapest spot, but it's worth it for a special occasion or a romantic date night. * Overall, both of our entrées, Liberty Farms Duck and Kurobuta Pork Chop, were delicious, but unfortunately, both of our proteins were overcooked. I would've liked my duck a little more on the rare side, and the pork more towards medium than medium-well. Unfortunately, we didn't specify this when we ordered, but we assumed a place of this caliber would know that. The Ugly: * My one complaint about the service is they really, really try to push the wine on you. If you're a wine connoisseur then this probably won't bother you, but when you're not, it can be a little annoying. * If you're not a fan of dill, then this might not be the place for you. We noticed they use it quite a bit in a lot of their dishes, which was fine with us, but I just figured I'd throw that out there. Conclusion: Lelé Kitchen might be the most unique restaurant we've visited in recent memory, as the terrific service and unique dishes have us wanting to return again to see what other treasures we can uncover. If it weren't for the overcooked proteins, this would've been a solid five-star review, but it still comes highly recommended.

Dinner for 2. - Ambiance (5*) Beautiful, dark interior perfect for date night. We were only able to book bar seats, but I actually quite liked this experience vs. the tables because it was easy interacting with the staff, and you could see the chefs plating. The music is really loud in the restrooms- I told my wife it's like entering into the secret club with the Russian mafia waiting in back. Ironically, my imagination added to the Eastern European vibe. - Service (4*) All very friendly. Somm was super nice and spent time chatting with us at the beginning. One of the primary chefs explained dishes to us in a thick accent. Waters constantly refilled. Napkins folded when off to restroom. Unintrusive 5* service. 1* docked because the pacing was a bit slow. - Trust the Chef, $157 - Marin Miyagi Oyster, 5* Briny, meaty, nice pops from the trout roe. - Grenka, 5* A tad hard to eat. Would have been easier as a slightly smaller bite. But when put all together, the herring and accompaniments were so good. - Kvass Pie Tea, 5* The superstar of the night. Yes the pine cone was cute and tasty, but mashed in there with the creamy liver... mmm don't remember the last time I had something so good. - Sweet & Savory Macaron, 3* Could have done without this. Innovative concept, beautiful dish. Perhaps ruined by the slightly stale macaron shell. - Egg à la Russe, 4* Cute presentation. Harmonious flavors. - Dranik, 5* Perfectly thin potato pancake below. Amazing toppings. Beautiful presentation but also just really tasty. I could've eaten an entree portion of this. - Striped Bass, 5* Hard to get striped bass that tender. Amazing crispy skin. Nice pops from the caviar. Appreciated the cookery on the sunchoke. Veloute good as well, though couldn't really detect any Earl Grey flavor- maybe too subtle. - Aukashi Wagyu Ribeye, 4* Beautiful cut of meat. That onion was so, so flavorful. The bordelaise was a bit salty for me. - Cheese & Cake, 5* Still not sure what the cheese was. "Sheep and goat, not young" was all I could decipher. Mixed with that bashkirian honey was wow. Then add in the flavor of the pear- I was scraping my plate. - "Porcini" Cake, 5* So playful. So cute my wife was afraid to cut into it. Once you broke the "mushroom", the surprises inside were so so good. The pops of berry flavor with the creaminess of the Brie, with the chocolate. Mmm, top 5 ever dessert for me. - Value (4*) Considering the number of courses, feeling plenty full at the end, and the execution, I think this is a pretty good deal. - Final Word Excellent spot. Inventive, tasty food. I trust the chef indeed. I hope they change the menu as frequently as they imply.

The food, service, and interior of this place are amazing. When you consider that it is in a strip mall across the parking lot from a gas station, it's kind of mind blowing. You really feel like you could be in SF or somewhere fancy when you're inside. I went here as part of a small group and we all got the chef's tasting menu. This is definitely the right thing to do since it's seasonal and interesting, and it's always fun to try more things than fewer. You can check the photos for the various items, but I'll say that all the flavors were great, everything was cooked properly, and the chef has some really great approaches to textures, colors, and plating. It's obviously done in the Michelin style with some whimsical platings and a highly curated drinks menu. Specializing in vermouth drinks, of all things! I tried two mixed drinks and they were both delicious and interesting, my favorite combination. The meal itself took a little over 2 hours to complete with the dishes arriving regularly. Service was properly paced and the overall quantity left me feeling full at the end. This is of course not a guarantee with these types of menus, so I was happy that a post-meal taco wasn't needed. The interior is very beautifully done, again surprising me given the location. And the service was amazing, our waiter, the servers, and the chef were all able to answer questions and make recommendations. Cost-wise, with tip and tax, it was ~$250/person. This is quite pricey, obviously, especially for the area, but I would consider it worth it. If this restaurant was in San Francisco nobody would bat an eye at the cost given the interior, service, and food quality. While I can't say I'll be back soon as this is a splurge/special occasion restaurant, I do strongly recommend it. Also parking is easy and they take reservations.

It's overall good but nothing to write home about. The vibes are great and intimate. Great place for a date or to catch up with your friends. All the food was fine but for the price, it fell short. Everything was plated very nicely though. Our fave was the sweet and salty macarons. Fun little bites. Everything else was ok. The carrot cake was a bit disappointing.

My husband and I had been here a couple of times for special dinners with wine pairings. We loved their causal upscale atmosphere, we respected how passionate Chef Ulad and Fedar were so passionate about their crafts, and most of all, we truly enjoyed their food. We're so happy that we brought our daughter here for Father's Day brunch (they're not usually open for lunch), and she fell in love with the place as well. It's so unforgettable that I could still remember the dishes after so many months. Their staff were friendly and professional as usual. We started with some complimentary scones with jam and cream. They're nice and warm, and very additive. I ordered the smoked trout dranik. My husband and daughter shared the wagyu dranik and the egg Benedict with sausage and potatoes. My husband also had a beautiful and tasty ube latte. I liked that they always brought out smoked dishes covered. A great presentation, and we could smell the intense smoky flavor when they lifted the cloche. The food was fresh, well seasoned, and put together with great care. We'll be back again!

Came here for a birthday dinner and it was amazing. The service was impeccable and they did an amazing job explaining the thoughts of the dishes. Every dish was top notch and held such unique flavor. Ambiance is great as it's both casual but also nicer vibes. Would come back again for special occasions!

We came here spontaneously to celebrate our anniversary, planning just to enjoy small plates and some nice wine. It is a long, narrow restaurant, but tastefully decorated within its space--the dim and elegant decor is perfect for date nights. The owner greeted us when we arrived and was very accommodating with our table request. A card was placed on our table, wishing us a happy anniversary, which we thought was thoughtful. We decided to sample the à la carte menu on our first visit. The food presentation was Michelin-star level. The wine pairing and selection were excellent--carefully curated. Our waiter's appearance was a bit of a surprise. We joked that he must have just left his bar job at a club last night and rolled in to work here. Haha! Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience. It was a bit loud for us with the crowd and the music, but if this is your vibe, you will not be disappointed. We plan to return to try the prix fixe chef's menu when we have a bigger appetite.

What an incredible experience! We already can't wait to come back again. Every interaction with everyone here felt so warm and friendly and truly made us feel welcome. The food and wine were superior. The sommelier was so kind and knowledgeable and kept coming back to make sure our glasses were full all while telling us wonderful backstories on the wine we were drinking. We love supporting California vineyards and thoroughly enjoy trying new wineries! We had a tasting of appetizers, entrees and desserts that managed to feel both elevated and deeply comforting at the same time. The oysters, bread, macarons, scallops, pasta, cheesecake, ice cream, apple dessert, etc. EVERYTHING was extraordinary. This was beautifully executed and there was so much flavor in every bite. What makes the experience that much better is the service. We could go on about how warm and friendly each individual was with us, and you could see just how enthusiastic they were about each dish and bottle of wine. Thank you very much for welcoming us into your restaurant and making the experience feel so personal. You know it was a wonderful evening when we're still talking about it days later!

It has been a while since I've been wow'ed by a restaurant that had compelled me to write a review. Especially in the South Bay there aren't as many restaurants that live up to the quality, service and taste to the level that Lele kitchen delivered. We happened to stumble upon this gem on a Sunday evening when we actually wanted a quick bite. I knew I wanted something delicious, some fresh food, seafood that's fresh. We've been to Lele Cakes in the past and really like it so figured this place would be similar. We walked in and the ambience felt upscale. The decor was amazing! Refreshing, welcoming and just pleasing to the eyes. We were seated promptly, it was a family of 4 with 7 y/o and 2 y/o . We contemplated bouncing out since kids aren't really suited for fine dining. But they did great :) Angelo our server was fabulous! He walked through the entire menu, gave us recommendations and also was very thoughtful about the children. He was so attentive and made the overall experience very pleasant. Now for the real review that's the food. Wow! The chef gets it! The flavors, textures, presentation and the course all were on point! We ordered: Miyagi oysters - 2 of each topping. Our favorite was Concord grape but honestly everything was absolutely spot on! Savory macrons - absolutely loved this sweet and salty combo with the roe and smoked salmon. For appetizer we got the beet salad and Pommes Dauphine. The freshness of beet salad and cheese was so great! The basil mayo that comes with Pommes Dauphine was out of this world. The Pommes could have used bit more salt but nvm it was fab! For dinner was got: Homemade crab ravioli - 10/10 so much delicious crab. It's obvs on the heavier side but definitely worth it for sharing! Scallops - it was cooked to perfection and the veggies it came with were cooked to perfection. It's the attention to detail of every ingredient that makes this place so good! No compromise. The scallop was a tad salty but the miso hollandaise sauce balanced it out. Lastly, for dessert we got peach cake and were wowed by the presentation and taste. It was light and perfectly balanced. And if you're wondering what the kids ate, they got buttered papperdale pasta which according to my kid was the best! Highly recommend this place and I can't wait to come back for their fall menu!

Lele Kitchen delivered an exceptional experience from beginning to end. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance feels intentional, warm, and beautifully composed. The food was outstanding. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, with incredible depth of flavor and clear attention to quality. Nothing felt excessive or overworked. Instead, each element felt purposeful, allowing the ingredients and execution to speak for themselves. You can tell there is a genuine level of care behind what is coming out of the kitchen. Alejandro was absolutely amazing. He was attentive, gracious, and effortlessly professional, anticipating needs without ever being intrusive. His presence elevated the entire experience and made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of.

I can't believe I've lived in the Bay my whole life and only recently discovered Lele Kitchen! Everything we had here was not only beautifully plated but also so delicious. There were so many nuanced flavors that elevated and balanced each other -- there wasn't a single dish I didn't love! These were also some of the plumpest, juiciest oysters I've ever had. Some of the other standouts for me were the smoked trout chips and dip, and the potato pancake piled high with fish and gorgeous fresh veggies. Can't wait to come again!

Wei Y.

We had such a lovely dinner here. Both the service and the food were top-notch. The restaurant uses super fresh ingredients, and every dish was beautifully plated -- a true celebration of Eastern European cuisine with a modern twist. The most memorable item for me was the Sweet and Savoury Macarons. I wouldn't say they were mind-blowingly delicious, but the concept was super creative -- the balance of sweet and savory flavors really cut through the usual sweetness of macarons, giving them a unique flavor profile. We also tried the Draniks with Akaushi Wagyu short rib on top -- the beef was super tender, and the potato pancake underneath had a nice crispy edge. I especially loved the pickles inside -- slightly sweet and crunchy, which added freshness and balanced out the richness of the dish. For entrees, we ordered the Gloucester scallops and the Petrale sole 'schnitzel' -- both were delicious and beautifully cooked. Dessert-wise, we had the dark chocolate cheesecake (a bit too sweet for my taste) and a seasonal fig ice cream that wasn't on the menu -- that one was a hit! Overall, I was very impressed by the creativity, presentation, and quality. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes!

We had our anniversary dinner here and loved the meal/experience. We both opted to do the "Trust the chef" tasting menu and we had no regrets. Every dish from the amuse bouche to the dessert was a hit and there were no misses. Fresh ingredients, perfect blend of flavors, and left feeling full and satisfied. Service was excellent, as exemplified by a sweet handwritten Happy Anniversary that had ready for us. We both felt it had the quality of at least a Michelin Bib gourmand, if not better than some one-stars we've been too.

Service was above and beyond and they were very accommodating with us decorating the table to make my dad's 60th birthday so special! The family set menu was amazing- so many different options and dishes you can't get anywhere else. The grenki and dranik's were our favorites!

Had a reservation for 4 on a Saturday at 8pm. The restaurant was half full despite it being relatively late, and we were promptly greated and seated upon entering. It's dimly lit inside with sleek modern decorations. Our server described the entire menu and made recommendations, and we ended up ordering 8 dishes for the 4 of us. We were celebrating a birthday, and were given a free dessert, which was some sort of raspberry jelly and a pleasant surprised. Of the dishes, the miyagi oysters, mackerel crudo, scallops, and ravioli were the best - mostly for both featuring fresh seafood and well balanced sauces and garnishes. The pacing of the food coming out of the kitchen was great, but we did find ourselves without a single water refill until after we received the check. Despite everything being good, I'm not sure anything was truly outstanding or worth the price tag. It was worth a try, and is definitely a unique option in the area. read more

I drove 50 minutes from San Francisco just to try their menu, and every mile was worth it. The food is full of unexpected twists and elegant pairings (must-tries: the oysters and the draniki. Trust me!). Eastern European flavors are seamlessly woven into seasonal local ingredients, creating a globally inspired menu that feels both grounded and inventive. This is what happens when you give two artists (Chef Ulad Skoblia and chef-sommelier Fedar Kamkou) -- deeply in love with their craft -- the freedom to co-create. Lele Kitchen is a true South Bay Area gem: an uncompromisingly creative dining experience, paired with an impressively curated, all-California wine list. I'm convinced this place is a Michelin star contender for next year. Perfect for a date, a celebration, or simply a night you want to make special. read more

I've always enjoyed brunches at Lele Cake, so my expectations were very high going into this dinner. Even so, it exceeded all my expectations. The restaurant was beautifully decorated. It felt upscale without being prissy. The service reflected this. Our server was friendly, professional, and knew everything about the menu. The beer pie tees would have belonged in a tasting menu at a Michelin-starred restaurant. It was savory and incredibly addictive. We also had the smoked salmon dranik, and it wasn't any less delicious. My wagyu flat iron was cooked to a perfect medium rare. For dessert, I went with the apple pie(?). It was creative and I enjoyed each bite of it. What looked like an apple on a plate was actually a white chocolate shell encasing an apple pie filling. I can see myself making the drive to Los Gatos just to dine here again. Would highly recommend. read more

Although there are some kinks to smooth out (as expected with a new restaurant), the food itself was amazing! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfect.

What a fantastic restaurant I finally had the chance to visit! I celebrated my birthday at Lele Kitchen with friends, and it couldn't have been a better choice. Since there were eight of us, we went with the special Family Style menu--a generous assortment of nearly all the restaurant's dishes, served at once for everyone to share and enjoy together. The only slight challenge for our group of four couples was having to divide some dishes into eight portions ourselves. And when the food is this delicious, sharing isn't easy! Having dined at Michelin-starred restaurants before, I can confidently say that Lele Kitchen is more than worthy of being in the guide--and could easily earn all three stars. Every bite, from appetizers to mains to dessert, was simply divine. With an excellent selection of Californian wines, outstanding service, and a beautifully designed interior, this place is a gem. We can't wait to come back! read more

Have you ever been to a restaurant where the soul lives? Where every little detail is thoughtfully designed, down to the perfect placement of forks and spoons? Where the atmosphere, service, and decor come together in perfect harmony, creating a sense of warmth and perfection? I've been to many places, but I have never found one quite like this. Here, you can savor a glass of wine, enjoy heartfelt conversations, and truly feel that this is a place you deserve. And the food... that's a whole different story. The flavors are indescribable! I ordered the meat, and for a moment, I felt like an expert from a famous animated film--one bite, and I was transported somewhere beyond words. The taste was so unique, I couldn't even compare it to anything. The meat melts in your mouth, leaving pure delight. And everything served with it feels like it was meant to be there. And the dessert? Simply wow! An apple filled with airy mousse and delicate apple purée--a true culinary masterpiece. And the tea... absolutely divine! If you haven't been here yet, you must visit. This is a place you'll want to return to again and again. A huge thank you to the Lele Kitchen team for this incredible experience! I'll definitely be back! read more

Lele Kitchen is a Bay Area hidden gem. So happy I found the place. The food is both soulful and refined, blending bold Eastern European flavors with California freshness. Every dish feels intentional: from bites to mains. I brought my mom to Lele Kitchen - she is visiting from Eastern Europe. She loved it! We started with oysters - fresh and creamy! Salads were beautifully presented and very yummy. While the draniki (hand grated potato pancakes) is chef's signature dish, the soup stole the show. Sorrel and potato soup was so comforting, playful, and flavorful, that I am still thinking about it. You can tell the chef and the team care deeply about quality of food. Cozy space, good service, and a creative menu that's unlike anything else in the area. Highly recommend for a special night out or a thoughtful dinner any day. read more

Over the course of the past decade I have had the opportunity to dine at a handful of restaurants which went on to receive Michelin stars. Dining at Lele gives me the exact same feeling, this is Michelin level food. I can't say that they will ever see a Michelin food critic, because like many of the south bay's dining gems, Lele is located in a strip mall with a Walgreens, Dog Grooming, Dance Studio, Pilates Studio etc. The restaurant is an extension of the bakery next door. Lele is self described as Eastern European food, having spent time in Eastern Europe I recognize many of the dishes as Slavic cuisine only re-imagined as high end California cuisine (Butterbrots (open faced sandwiches), Draniki, preserved fishes, liver mousse etc. My wife and I had the Chicken Liver mousse butterbrot, the bread for this was light and airy with melted butter, garnished with cherries, dill and edible flowers. A Grenik Butterbrot which was herring on buttered rye bread, with sour apple, ginger and picked red onions radish slices and chervil. I have to admit that I am a sucker for chervil, parsley and cilantro's most delicate cousin. It's a hard to get ingredient and when I see it on a plate, it's an indication of the level of commitment that the chef has to their food. The Pommes Dauphine which are like little potato pâte à choux(s), they were incredibly well done with the most creamy decadent mashed potatoes inside. They were served with dill mayonnaise and chervil. Smoked Trout Dranik (potato pancake) which was an incredibly thin potato pancake topped with avocado spread and smoked trout with herbs (Cilantro and Dill) cherry tomatoes and crispy onions served smoked under a cake dome. For main courses we had the Lemon Asparagus Ravioli with Crab and the Fish Schnitzel. The Lemon Asparagus Ravioli had shaved asparagus and parmesan and the Fish Schnitzel (halibut?) came on a bed of ajvar (an Eastern European Eggplant/Pepper/Tomato pesto) with dill mayonnaise and smoked Salmon roe (Ikura/Ikra) and dill, it was served with a small salad with that had rhubarb, grapefruit and fennel which is a nice palate break from the oil in the fish. We had the Apple Cake, which is probably their signature dessert. It's an apple shaped shell over whipped cream, cake and apple compote on a bed of graham cracker crumbles. Overall the meal was absolutely amazing. I would come here for a special occasion birthday, anniversary etc. read more

If you are debating on going to Lele, here is your sign to go. The cuisine is exquisite, mindfully sourced and presented like a Michelin restaurant while having strong roots in Russian and Ukrainian flavor, there is NOTHING like this around. Ulad is the head chef and spoils us each time we visit and is kind enough to take time to come check in on us even on the busiest nights! Fedar has crafted an exceptional wine list, with some really cool and historic wineries. The atmosphere is cozy but upscale with lots of European influence in design, this is the ultimate date night spot and place to celebrate. Enjoy your experience here, we always do!

Second time reviewing this place, and it absolutely deserves it. I'm pretty picky with food, and have well trained palette, and honestly, this was the best steak I've ever had. The imperial steak was just incredible. Service is friendly, relaxed, and makes you feel comfortable right away. Totally worth every penny as you can really taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into the food. I'm surprised to see reviews calling it "nothing special," because the quality and execution really speak for themselves...we drive from SF every month to taste the seasonal menu changes. read more

What an amazing place for dinner! We love the cafe next door for breakfast and go almost every weekend. However the restaurant next door might be even better. The ambiance is super casual and feels like you're eating in someone's living room. All of the food we've had has been amazing, but I especially recommend the dranik and the wagyu flat iron steak. Service has been amazing both times we've been! I don't mind any of the issues we've had (having to move tables & longer than normal wait for food) because they've communicated it to us early on and also gave us free glasses of wine and other snacks. I could not recommend this place more, 10/10 read more

This place is a gem ! Staff was so knowledgeable, considerate and welcoming throughout the evening. We ordered and shared a little bit of everything- macaroons, smoked trout, salad, ravioli, steak and salmon.... Each dish was thoughtfully prepared with so much dimension, texture and fresh flavor. Timing between dishes was just about perfect. We all loved every dish and we're literally scraping plates... the ambience was warm and welcoming with very light music in the background was easy to communicate and felt at home. We've been to a lot of "upscale" restaurants locally and this one hits number one across-the-board... unique cuisine, service and experience. Thank you, Chef and staff for such a wonderful evening.

I'm not quite sure where to start with this review as lelé kitchen defies the typical food review. Let me say that the recent SF Chronicle review of the restaurant doesn't do this place justice. The Blossom Hill Road location is quite unassuming to say the least, but don't be fooled by a book's cover as the saying goes. Do not pass up the oysters! They are presented in a unique and yet simplistic manner, no bed of crushed ice for these succulent beauties which are seasoned way beyond a typical tartar sauce along with horseradish. The Wagyu and halibut entrees were artistically presented along with vegetables which were perfectly prepared. The apple cake is one of those rare desserts that you will remember for its creativity and exquisite tastes. Life is short, eat dessert, and be prepared to be wowed. The service was also very attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. They understand the magic that happens in the kitchen, and they do an excellent job of completing the entire experience. lelé kitchen is destined to be a jewel in the SF Bay Area dining scene! I'm glad I found this culinary treasure in its early days as getting reservations are going to be a real challenge once the word gets out! read more

Decided to come try Lele Kitchen because we saw such great reviews. My sister flew in from out of town and we picked her up and had a reservation for 8:30. We usually never ever eat that late, but it was just because that's the time she would be here. Didn't realize the menu is kind of odd - like nothing we've ever eaten before. Very small dishes with very high prices $$. Seems like a come to only once restaurant. Everyone seemed very serious and stern ? The man who was serving the wine seemed angry the whole night and seemed to rush us to finish. Decent taste but probably will not return. Just not for us. read more

This restaurant feels like it should have a michelin star. The food concept is one of a kind (especially in the Bay Area)-eastern european inspired farm to table. And the execution of that concept is impeccable. Besides getting to try new things (such as Pinecone!) , we also enjoyed the very creative and unique combinations of flavors (such as potato pancake with smoked trout, macarons with goat cheese and smoked salmon, honey thyme ice cream). We went as a party of 6 and ordered many dishes to sample but there are still things on the menu we want to go back to try. Additionally, the parking was easy, the ambience was intimate, cozy and comfortable, and service was attentive and friendly. We cannot wait to go back. It took us 40 minutes to drive there but it was absolutely worth this trip! read more

On a later visit, I spent a few hours working there and ordered drinks. When a friend joined me, he sat down and was completely ignored. No one came over to greet him or ask if he'd like anything. We eventually had to flag someone down just so he could place an order. After that, our server mentioned that Tuesdays were buy one, get one free on wine. I ordered my second glass, but it never arrived. When I asked another server about it, I was made to feel like I was inconveniencing them. The irony is that I would have happily paid full price--I wasn't the one asking for a deal. They were the ones who brought up the promotion, then acted bothered when I politely asked about the wine that was never delivered. The final straw was our most recent visit. We were seated at a table by the staff, only to be told a few minutes later that we had to move because the tables were supposedly reserved for the party sitting behind us. We moved without making an issue of it, but no one ever ended up using those tables for the entire time we were there. It was frustrating to be relocated after being seated, especially when the explanation didn't match what actually happened. At this point, it's hard to view these experiences as isolated incidents. The common theme has been inattentive service and an attitude that makes customers feel like they're an inconvenience rather than guests. There are too many great wine bars that genuinely appreciate their customers for me to spend any more time or money here.

She kindly answered a few questions that we had. I decided to order their Baja Fish Tacos and my friend ordered the Elote Street Corn Salad with Tri-Tip. My tacos came with a choice of two sides. I chose black beans and guacamole. We also ordered some soft drinks. The inside is very nicely decorated. It's a very modern/hip vibe inside. They have a full bar with seating there. They also have several other seating options. Our food came out with in 19 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. My friend liked her salad. It was a nice size salad with a hefty portion of Tri-Tip. They brought her dressing on the side as she requested. My Baja Fish Tacos were amazing. They were huge and filling. The fish they use is cod and it has a light crispy batter that is not overly greasy. It came topped with shredded lettuce, Cajun remoulade, pico de gallo. The remoulade had a little spice to it and I loved it. I added, the side of guacamole on top of each taco, and I was in heaven. The black beans were a small portion but tasted good. Honestly, I was so full, I don't think I could have eaten more than what I was served. An overall excellent experience, delicious food with a friendly atmosphere. Our waitress gave us the best customer service. This is definitely the perfect neighborhood spot for good food and drinks. I look forward to returning with my husband for lunch and dinner.

While seating is limited, you can sit at the bar, a booth, a table, or the patio, which allows pretty views of people returning their safeway carts and middle schoolers. That's a dangling participle: They don't return their middle schoolers, but they probably wish they could. Anyway, the Americanized-Mexican menu is heavy on burgers and bar appetizers, which were hit and miss. The French fries were unusually hard and crisp. The smashburgers looked better than they tasted, but that's not too insulting: they look outstanding. On two separate burgers the bland buns fell apart, so hopefully they'll get better options in future. If they won't toast the bun for me next time, I'll bring a lighter. The guac was good (my wife and I are picky) but the "queso" is queso-tionable. It's not the authentic, pale, chile-flecked queso you might expect from even Chipotle, but bright orange school snack bar nacho cheese. The elote salad was not very elotey and it was flavorless (my wife asked for lime, which helped juice it up). The beer list is impressive. They offer rotating slush drinks. I loved the strawberry margarita ($11 or $8 happy hour) but returned the mojito. It tasted like fake mint. It was a nojito.

The brick walls and blackboards looked familiar. There's still a long table in the middle. With the new chairs and tablecloths, the place looked more classy than before. The floating shelves at the top of the walls were all lined with wine bottles. There're some gigantic bottles towards the back as well. It's quite a nice place to have a quiet, intimate dinner with the causal, yet upscale vibe. There're about eight tables (1-2 persons@) while we're there, and service was attentive, despite having only one server. For the $80 dinner for 2 special, we got to pick one item from each of the first two selections to share, two entrees, and one beignet each. We also added a beet salad to share, and my husband had the wine pairing. For our first course, the two baked oysters were cheesy and rich. It would be better if they were bigger, though. Our second course, the caramelized onion soup was perfectly prepared, one of the best I had ever had. The beet salad was refreshing, and the dressing was so tasty that it made arugula tasted good. I had the sole as my entree; it was cooked well, light and delicious. I took a bite of my husband's slow braised short ribs; it was tender and flavorful. The beignets were delightful, and paired really well with the dark chocolate and salted caramel sauce. I really appreciated that all their hot dishes came out really hot. Overall, it was a really enjoyable dinner. Would be back to have the onion soup again and try other items on the menu.

Unfortunately, our most recent visit completely changed that. We had reservations for a Saturday evening and were seated promptly. That's where the positive experience ended. After being seated, we waited 20 minutes without a single acknowledgment from staff--no greeting, no water, nothing. Meanwhile, other parties who arrived after us were attended to right away, which made the situation even more frustrating. After more than 30 minutes of being completely ignored, we decided to leave. It was honestly one of the most uncomfortable and disappointing dining experiences we've had. As strong supporters of local restaurants, this was especially disheartening given how much we used to enjoy coming here. Sadly, this experience has permanently changed how we feel about this place, and we won't be returning. I hope the staff takes this as a reminder that every customer deserves the same level of attention and respect.

We have been fans of Lele Cake, the charming café next door, for quite some time now, and with the opening of Lele Kitchen, it was only a matter of time before we ended up visiting it. Specializing in Eastern European/Belarusian-inspired dishes with a "California farm-to-fork" ethos, this restaurant brings a fresh, innovative approach to dining. Their commitment to sourcing high-quality ingredients from local farmers' markets and nearby farms truly shines through in every dish. Open for dinner with reservations required, we were delighted to secure a spot and easily found parking in the nearby lot. Appetizers and Starters We began our culinary journey with an exquisite Oyster Tasting Trio: - Mignonette: classic preparation that highlights the fresh, briny flavor of the oyster while adding a tangy and aromatic twist (preserved lemon and champagne mignonette sauce). - Cream and Roe: Clean and refreshing, perfectly complemented by a horseradish cream and the indulgence of Tsar Nikolai smoked trout roe. - Granita: A delightful pairing of raspberry and honey, offering a subtle sweetness that elevated the briny freshness of the oysters. Next, we savored the Pommes Dauphine, golden potato puffs served with a rich and herbaceous dill mayo. Light, crispy, and bursting with flavor, they set a high bar for what was to come. The Mackerel Crudo was a masterpiece of balance and complexity. Thinly sliced mackerel was paired with cucumber, radish, citrus, horseradish, pistachio, yuzu, and parsley oil. Each bite was a harmonious mix of textures and bright, fresh flavors. The Dranik, a Belarusian-inspired potato pancake, came topped with smoked trout, avocado, cilantro crema, and crispy onions. The contrast between the rich, creamy toppings and the crispy pancake was delightful. Main Course: For our entrées, we were blown away by the depth of flavor and artistry of the dishes: 1. Wild Northern Halibut: Perfectly cooked, the halibut was paired with a duo of roasted and puréed cauliflowers, sweet baby broccoli, pearl onions, and a luscious miso hollandaise sauce. Every component on the plate was executed with precision and added to the dish's elegance. 2. Wild Mushroom and English Pea Tortelloni: Handmade pasta stuffed with earthy wild mushrooms and sweet English peas, topped with a dill rye bread crumble and chervil. This dish was the epitome of comfort and sophistication, with layers of flavor in every bite. Dessert To close out the meal, we indulged in their Cheesecake, a creamy delight that struck the perfect balance of richness and sweetness. As a special surprise, we were also treated to their Apple Cake, a beautifully presented dessert that truly showcased the kitchen's creativity and finesse. Each dish at Lele Kitchen was a work of art, not only in flavor but in presentation. The immaculate plating was so impressive that we hesitated to dig in, marveling at the effort and skill that went into each creation. This level of attention to detail, combined with the thoughtful incorporation of local, seasonal ingredients, made the experience truly special. From start to finish, this was a sumptuous dining experience. Whether you're a fan of Eastern European cuisine or simply appreciate culinary excellence, Lele Kitchen is a gem worth visiting. The warm hospitality and surprise touches--like the Apple Cake--made us feel right at home. We can't wait to return! read more

Yesterday we couldn't ruin the poetry of taste with meaningless chatter. Last night I learned a very important lesson. Some dinners are too divine for small talk. Too sacred for gossip. Too perfect to dilute with words. We went to Lele Kitchen to experience the magic of the one and only chef Ulad, and honestly, we fell silent the moment the first dish touched the table. And that says a lot because Grrusha and I are usually the kind of girls who can talk through a tornado and still find something to giggle about. But not yesterday. Yesterday we couldn't ruin the poetry of taste with meaningless chatter. Ulad is not just a chef. He is a creator. A vessel of something celestial. A man truly touched by God. And the wildest part is that he's entirely self-taught. No Michelin training, no culinary academies, just pure talent pouring out of him like light. I've been lucky enough to attend his private Savory Talks dinners, where each dish felt like a portal into another world. So when I heard he was launching Lele Kitchen, I was counting the days until I could step into that space and taste whatever his brilliant mind had been dreaming up. And yesterday... it finally happened. There is zero doubt in my mind that this restaurant is destined for Michelin stars. Zero doubt that one day reservations will be booked out months ahead. Zero doubt that people will fly across states just to experience this flavor universe he creates. Because what happens on your tongue at Lele Kitchen is... transcendence. Hot and cold. Sweet and tangy. Creamy and crispy. Soft and bold. Textures dancing, flavors colliding, and your whole body just melting into this sensory bliss. It is, quite literally, an oral orgasm. I would live next door to this restaurant if I could. Visit every day or at least every week. Because it's not just food. It's a full-body aesthetic experience. Everything organic. Everything sourced from small farmers. Everything chosen with love, intention, and a kind of emotional precision that feels rare in this world. And if you're from Eastern Europe, brace yourself. This place will teleport you straight into childhood. Crispy draniki. Red caviar. Bashkir honey. Pollen. Tiny fir-cone preserves. Those nostalgic, quirky flavors that hit you like a memory you didn't know you were missing. You don't talk through a dinner like this. You surrender to it. So here it is. My love letter to chef Ulad, a man so gifted it feels almost unfair how talented he is. If there is such a thing as divine culinary energy, he channels it. Lele Kitchen is not a restaurant. It's a revelation. And you must go. read more

A Truly Memorable Culinary Journey at lelé kitchen x Birichino April 27, 2025 We had the absolute pleasure of experiencing the six-course tasting menu at lelé collaboration with Birichino, and every moment of the evening felt like a beautifully orchestrated story told through food and wine. The journey began with Steamboat Oysters paired with a vibrant 2022 Sémillon from Yount Mill Vineyard. The interplay of blueberry and earl grey tea granita elevated the oysters into something unexpectedly ethereal. Next, the Shapes of Delta Asparagus brought a burst of spring to the table, complemented by a bright 2023 Vermentino. The sheep brynza and orange accents added richness and zest, balancing the dish perfectly. The Dranik course was a standout -- smoky, creamy, and herbaceous -- especially paired with a 2023 skin-contact Malvasia Bianca that echoed the dish's complexity. The Rabbit "Golubets" (rabbit wrapped in tender layers and served with a luxurious caviar beurre blanc) showcased incredible technique and depth of flavor, harmonizing seamlessly with a bright Cinsault from Mokelumne River. For the main course, the Creekstone Striploin arrived flawlessly cooked and paired with a lively 2023 Grenache. The carrot, rhubarb slaw, and tarkhun-mustard accents created a masterclass in balancing savory and tangy elements. Finally, the Lemon "Cake" -- WOW!!!! It was the perfect endnote -- tarragon, shortbread cookies, and olives surprising the palate with each bite, while a playful 2022 Pétulant Naturel Malvasia rounded out the meal with a light, slightly effervescent touch. Every course was thoughtful, innovative, and impeccably executed. The wine pairings enhanced each dish without overpowering, showing a careful hand in curation. lelé kitchen and Birichino truly created a night to remember. I cannot wait to return and bring our whole team here read more

Lele Kitchen is an absolute gem that redefines the modern dining experience. From the moment you step in, you're welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere that immediately sets the tone for a memorable meal. The staff is nothing short of exceptional--attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly. Their hospitality makes you feel like a cherished guest, and the excellent service adds a layer of comfort and ease to the entire experience. One of the most remarkable aspects of Lele Kitchen is how it masterfully incorporates subtle notes of Russian and Ukrainian cuisine into its contemporary menu. This fusion feels effortless and natural, offering flavors that are both nostalgic and innovative. The result is a culinary experience that feels unique yet universally appealing. The food is absolutely incredible. Every dish is a testament to the chef's skill and passion, with perfectly balanced flavors and a presentation that could rival any top-tier restaurant. Each bite is a celebration of quality ingredients and culinary artistry. And then there are the desserts--truly a revelation. Even though I don't usually gravitate towards sweets, the desserts at Lele Kitchen are nothing short of magical. They're crafted with such creativity and care that they feel like little works of art, leaving even the most indifferent to sweets thoroughly impressed. Lele Kitchen offers more than just exquisite food; it provides an experience of unmatched quality and warmth. With its delightful combination of innovative cuisine, fantastic service, and a staff that goes above and beyond, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking to savor exceptional flavors in a welcoming setting. read more

Title: Great Food, but Disappointing Service Experience We visited Lele Kitchen last night around 5:30 PM without a reservation. When we arrived, the restaurant had plenty of open tables, and we were seated promptly. The food quality was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu, and we enjoyed a variety of courses, including starters, appetizers, soups, main dishes, and dessert. However, the food delivery was somewhat slow, which we initially didn't mind as we were enjoying the evening. Unfortunately, things took a turn around 7:00 PM. While waiting for dessert, a staff member approached our table and asked us to move to the bar because another party of three had a reservation, and the restaurant had no other tables available to accommodate them. Although they offered free desserts and drinks as compensation, the request completely disrupted our dining experience. For a restaurant that positions itself as upscale (our bill for two people was nearly $300, including tips), this kind of treatment felt unprofessional and unacceptable. It reminded me of a Soviet-era dining experience, where customers were expected to comply with whatever the establishment decided, regardless of the inconvenience or disrespect it caused. This is the first time in over 30 years that I've been treated this way at a restaurant. Needless to say, we will not be returning to Lele Kitchen ever again. While the food was fantastic, this service misstep, the slow pacing of the meal, and the disregard for our experience ruined what could have been a perfect evening. read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Lele Kitchen, the newest Californian Eastern European restaurant that has just opened its doors in Los Gatos, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The interior boasts a charming blend of rustic and modern European decor, featuring soft candle lighting, elegant wooden furnishings. The intimate seating arrangement makes it perfect for both romantic dinners and casual gatherings with friends or family. Service is impeccable. The staff are not only attentive and knowledgeable but also exude genuine warmth and friendliness, making you feel like a cherished guest rather than just another patron. Moreover, the wine selection is impressive, featuring an array of California vintages that complement the overall dining experience perfectly. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or simply enjoy a good glass, there's something to suit every palate. In addition to the exceptional ambiance and service, the restaurant often hosts music on weekend evenings, adding an extra layer of charm to the experience. Lele Kitchen has quickly become a favorite spot for locals seeking an authentic Californian Eastern European atmosphere in a cozy setting. If you're in Los Gatos and craving a memorable dining experience that combines warmth, elegance, and a welcoming environment, look no further. I can't wait to return and enjoy more of their exquisite offerings! read more

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. They took the time to explain each dish in detail, sharing not only the ingredients but also the inspiration and background behind them. It's a small, intimate space, which allows for a highly personalized dining experience--something that truly sets it apart. One moment that really stood out was the attentiveness of the staff. One of my fiancée's drinks was taking a bit longer to arrive, and before we even had to mention it, our waiter came over to let us know it was on the way and graciously offered it on the house. Then, when the drink finally arrived, they went above and beyond by bringing one for her friend as well--simply because they overheard her friend expressing interest in trying it. That level of attentiveness and hospitality is rare, and it did not go unnoticed! As for the food--wow. Every dish was unique in the best way possible. The flavors, presentation, and creativity behind each plate made for an unforgettable meal. We highly recommend trying multiple dishes to fully appreciate the range of what they offer. This was one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time, and we will absolutely be back. If you're looking for exceptional service, innovative food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this is the place to go! read more

What an amazing dining experience! Lele Kitchen effortlessly blends the best of Eastern European flavors with California's farm-to-table freshness. As someone with Eastern European roots (Poland), it was such a treat to find nostalgic flavors that were both familiar and exciting. The dishes had subtle, surprising combinations that left me pleasantly surprised at every bite. The service here was top-notch -- warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. We felt well taken care of from the moment we walked in, and the staff made great recommendations throughout the meal. I came with my 10-year-old daughter, and she loved it just as much as I did! The ambiance was relaxed but elegant, with a cozy vibe that made it perfect for a family outing. A special mention goes to the apple dessert -- it's to die for! A perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, with the most delightful textures. We couldn't stop talking about it after we finished. And the black cod entrée was cooked to perfection. If you're looking for a unique, elevated dining experience with charm and fresh, Easter European-inspired ingredients, Lele Kitchen is a must-try. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

Lele Kitchen is a culinary gem that offers a unique dining experience from appetizers to desserts. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted, making it a delightful journey for the taste buds. My personal favorites are the fresh and flavorful oysters, and the draniki filled with delicious fillings that perfectly complement any meal.

I absolutely loved my dinner at Lele Kitchen. The food and service were incredible, and the style and ambiance of the restaurant were very elegant and welcoming. Our server was very helpful in explaining the menu and sharing the culture and dishes at Lele Kitchen. The flat iron steak was phenomenal and I see why the sauce is Julia Child's favorite! All the food tasted very fresh and the dishes were very well thought out and designed beautifully. We had a wonderful dining experience and will be back! read more
