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.

GOGA is one of those restaurants that reminds you why independent, chef-driven dining is so…read morespecial. We had a 5:30 reservation on a Friday. First tip: it's a little tricky to find! It's tucked behind the buildings just off Saratoga's main strip. Trust Google Maps, head to the rear parking lot, and follow the sign through the alley to the restaurant. Dinner is prix fixe only -- $93 as of August 2026. We mentioned that we had plans afterward and just wanted a lighter dinner and some wine, and they were incredibly gracious about letting us split one prix fixe. Honestly, the portions still felt very generous, and we ended up spending about the same amount on wine anyway. The wine list is small but really thoughtfully curated, and they also allow you to bring your own bottle for a corkage fee. The standout for me was the Hokkaido scallop with crab and caramelized carrot. Genuinely one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. A couple of dishes were liberal with the finishing salt, but the flavors, seasoning, creativity, and technique were top tier. Everything is cooked to order by the chef, and it showed -- every course came out beautifully prepared and cooked to perfection. The whole place feels like a passion project. The chef has spent decades in the industry, including time in Shanghai and Hawaii, and it feels like he and his wife basically said, "This is what we do, this is the food we love -- let's make a place for it." And I love that. There are some rough edges that come with making the space work for them, but the things that actually matter -- food, service, organization, and cleanliness -- were excellent. Even the single restroom was very clean and well kept. It's a small, intimate space, so I definitely recommend making a reservation. That said, they seemed genuinely accommodating to everyone who came through and clearly care about making people feel welcome. More than anything, the restaurant just felt happy. Everyone around us was having a great time, people were ordering liberally from the wine list, and by the time we left around 7, it felt like a room full of people who understood exactly what this place is about. GOGA isn't trying to win you over with a bunch of empty promises and trendy decor. It's about really good food, wine, and hospitality from people who clearly care about what they're doing. I'd love to see the space evolve over time, but never at the expense of the food or the wonderfully unique experience they've created. We'll absolutely be back -- brunch is next.

To start out, I am a HUGE fan of Hawaiian food and Asian fusion cuisine; thus, I was very excited…read moreabout visiting GOGA to celebrate my birthday with my wife (who shares the same birthday) and my two kids. We found GOGA on Yelp and it seemed like it had just the right vibe (a laid-back atmosphere with the meticulous and intentional attention to detail that only a master chef can bring to a meal). I'll start out with the good. We were seated quickly (as the first reservation of the evening should) and they offered us a burger and fries option for our small children; this is nice since kids are often too picky to appreciate the mixture of flavors/textures on offer. My six-year-old had the burger and he reported that it was good (with one thumb up) but not great (two thumbs up); I think that if he had not removed the tomato and lettuce, it would have been better but he is a much tougher critic than me. On to the areas where improvement is needed. The chef's attitude toward small children is not inviting. For example, my son is small, 36". He does not put his feet on the chair because he wants to but because he needs to in order to prop himself up to a comfortable height. The chef yelled at him from the kitchen, "Tell the young man to put his feet down!" I get it, the chairs are upholstered in a leather material but a better approach would be to send the server over to communicate in a friendlier way, offer a booster, or to ask if he would be willing to remove his shoes if he needs to prop himself up in the chair. The next thing was the smoke. At one point before they decided to turn on the range hood the entire restaurant was filled with smoke that was pretty irritating and a bit alarming. They seemed to get it under control but the whole restaurant stayed musty at all times, it definitely needs more circulation. One idea would be to install a large folding door on the side of the restaurant next to the entry-way to create a sort of indoor/outdoor dining that makes use of the entry-ally way. It would also help to avoid the feeling of claustrophobia from being in such a small space. The prix fixe menu for the evening was a four-course meal at $95 that included the tuna sashimi salad, a lobster roll, American Wagyu, and raspberry tiramisu. The tuna salad was decent, very smooth, rich and well matched to the veggies and avocado. The lobster roll is where things started to fall apart. The bun was butter and overly salted and over-powered the meager bits of lobster that was included within. Last was the Wagyu (which we were highly anticipating due to having to wait 45 minutes after the lobster roll to arrive). Sadly, it was also over-salted, dry on the outside and chewy on the inside with a very gamey flavor (it was the worst steak I have had in a long time and definitely the worst Wagyu I have ever tasted). It was paired with a single spear of broccolini (extremely over-salted) and a large cut of heirloom tomato. Nothing about this pairing brought to mind Hawaii and its unique savory and sweet profiles but then again it just did not taste good. Last was the tiramisu. It was good, perhaps a bit heavy on the cream but overall good. The only other thing to note from this portion of the meal was that their only attempt at helping us celebrate our birthdays was a single heart-shaped candle which is nice but definitely minimal effort. As I was getting ready to sign the bill (around $400 total including a mimosa, three prix fixe, and a burger) the chef visited our table. I thought this was going to be a visit to ask how our meal was but instead he wanted to let us know that there were other guests waiting for our table... wait what?!? We arrived promptly at 5:30, they took 20 minutes to serve our salad, another 30 minutes to bring the lobster roll, 45 minutes to bring Wagyu, and 20 minutes to serve desert and somehow we are the ones holding things up?!? Frankly, I was too impressed by their total lack of self-awareness to get overly angry. Conceptually, I'm OK with the chef not adhering to the Hawaiian theme (regardless of the Hawaiian music playing throughout our visit) as long as they provide food quality that matches the fine dining price. Perhaps I visited on an off-night (since the menu is likely changing frequently) but for nearly $100 per person I expect better. Sadly, it looks like I'll still be waiting for a fine-dining approach to Hawaiian cuisine because GOGA just isn't it.

The steaks are great, the pizzas are delicious, and they also have a great selection of appetizers that are perfect for sharing. We've never had a bad meal or anything to complain about. We've also celebrated several birthdays and milestone events here, and it's always been a great place for a group. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces have a wonderful atmosphere, whether you're coming for a casual dinner or celebrating something special. The desserts are always worth saving room for, and the staff has consistently been friendly and attentive. The only drawback is that they don't take reservations. You can call ahead, but on busy nights we usually still end up waiting for a table. That said, it's always worth the wait. Great food, great atmosphere, and a place we continue to come back to.

We left the house closer to that time as we could track our place in line. When we arrived there we got to know that there is a wait-list for walk-ins as well which is not factored in the Google wait-list, hence they asked us to wait a bit longer in their outdoor lounge area which was fabulous btw. We waited for about 15-20 mins which was too bad.. then we got taken to our table. The place was packed on a Friday evening. We ordered the salmon tartare, burratta, lobster bisque, mushroom pizza. We really liked the salmon and burratta. Lobster bisque was ok - it was bit salty and wasn't as creamy as we would like it to be. The mushroom pizza didn't really have the flavors we would have liked it to - it was loaded with a lot of cheese and the flavors of mushroom and basil were subdued and we couldn't taste much of the truffle either. Overall we were 50-50% content with the food. We loved the ambience though. There are lots of parking space so always a good option for that. I would love to give it another shot

I was able to make a last minute reservation without having to commit to a deposit, which was a breath of fresh air these days. After our great experience I regret not trying the restaurant sooner, but hey, better late than never. I made reservations for 5pm on a Friday. There was ample parking at the private lot since it was still early. ASA had a pretty interior with a relaxed upscale atmosphere. Overall customer experience was exemplary. Employees were very friendly and courteous, and the wait staff was especially attentive. Also appreciated that our food came out in a timely manner. We shared the king trumpet mushroom appetizer, arrabiata pasta, and the Argentine steak, which was the perfect amount of food. Everything was incredibly flavorful and delicious. The appetizer surprised me the most with its uniqueness. The mushroom stems were cut paper thin and had the slightest essence of smokiness. Loved the chickpea puree. The Argentine steak was perfectly medium rare, and the meat itself was so tender. The fries were excellent. The fries were made the way I love them - light, airy, and crispy. Addictive and hard to resist. Lastly, the arrabiata pasta was solid. I did think the pasta was cooked 30 seconds too long, but the sauce really made up for the dish. The arbol chili and fresh garlic packed on some heat. We look forward to coming back for the steak and to try the mushroom rigatoni that everyone raves about!

Entrees were very good. Two of us had the exotic mushroom pasta, and it was outstanding. Al dente pasta, rich sauce, and plenty of mushrooms. Two of us had the halibut special with white wine risotto and red pepper coulis. The risotto was impeccable and the coulis sharp and creamy. Sadly the fish was overcooked for both of us. We would have sent it back, but no one checked to see how we were enjoying the entrees. The Argentinian steak and chimichurri was quite good. The two desserts we tried (panna cotta and cheesecake) were satisfying, but portions a bit small. Wine list was well-curated and cocktails all delicious. Overall, a lovely dinner.

There were so many delicious sounding things on the menu though, that I think I'll have to try new stuff next time, just to try more of it! The portions were really good, especially the Spatzle, and all of that was plenty of food for the three of us. I wanted to be able to eat more, but sadly I was getting too full. We ordered a variety of cocktails and wine, our server was very generous in letting us try the different drinks before ordering. I ended getting a glass each of an Austrian and German wine, and loved both. Cocktails were also thoroughly enjoyed by those that had them.
