    Fried potatoes
    Astha A.

    Love the ambiance of this place. We took the patio seating and it was perfect on a hot summer day. The servers are attentive and they take care of you. We tried their fried potatoes, hot wings and goomba pizza. The portion size for the fried potatoes was big but the food itself was not quite upto expectations. The hot wings was delicious with the variety of dipping sauce. We loved the goomba pizza, minimum ingredients but wonderful taste with everything coming together.

    You can't spell "ok" without Oak. First, I was seated in a corner of a wall, in an uncomfortable hot room, just two small pizzas away from loud, coughing children and their oblivious parents. Considering the other two tables had unnecessarily loud kids and clueless parents, and bad echoing acoustics of the room, it felt more like a Chuck E. Cheese. Whether it's the 6:00 hour or the ineffective Los Gatos parents, I'm not sure. If I went back I'd have to insist on sitting at the bar, in the patio, or after a minor lobotomy. After enjoying some refreshingly warm, room temperature water and a $4 can of Diet Coke, we had a soft pretzel, that was too soft. Like "did the oven break?" soft. Like right after a cold shower soft. Then we had some arancini. They were so flavorless we had to ask for salt and pepper here. Salt salt salt salt salt and pepper here. The lemony fried potatoes with black pepper and dill (and a watery ranch they call smoked creme fraiche) were awesome. Someone who loves food and people created that recipe. I don't think they work there anymore. If they do, I hope they don't get fired for secretly making something tasty behind the executive chef's back. After the potatoes I was thinking "now they're cookin' with gas" but the barely cooked pizzas came out and then I thought maybe they're cookin' with lighters. The margarita pizza is named that because you will need to down two margaritas after wasting your money on bland, flimsy, truly disappointing sauce-dough. The Jack Burton pizza with arugula was fine. But if you don't know underdressed salad and undercooked pizza, you don't know Jack. At least service is good and fast and the toilet faces an 80s TV playing videos. The TV had a big number three on it, which is weird, but thank God it wasn't a number two.

    Man this was a bummer with one shining exception- the gnocchi. Oh my gosh the gnocchi. It was so flavorful and delicious- fat, acid, salt, heat- it had it all- perfection in a bowl. Then there was a really nice and helpful server, and the decor was very hip and modern and cool. But unfortunately, this is where the good notes stop. The coach Goni pizza was bland and the buttermilk ranch was anything but. It tasted like watered down cream- no ranch flavor. The potatoes had no real flavor either- they tasted just like cooked potatoes- no seasoning, nothing special. Our kids were with us and they also liked none of it, so then we had cranky kids on top of not great food. But the worst, by far, was the shaved Brussel sprouts salad. It was so so so bad. It tasted like raw shaved Brussel sprouts tossed with maybe a sprinkle of lemon juice and topped with a little bit of Parmesan cheese. It was incredibly bitter and dry and it was so bad. We ate some because we paid for it and because it was "healthy" but we couldn't stomach much. We asked for balsamic, ranch, anything we could to help make it palatable. And to wash it down, well, they had warm water. I know this is authentic to Europe to not use ice but we're not in Europe. We need ice! They brought some upon request but it took some time to get. I would not go back but that gnocchi could convince me otherwise- it was so so good!!

    I came here to use my resy credit through Amex and didn't exactly love the experience. While it wasn't horrible, it also wasn't the best. We got a few drinks, their best selling apps and their pasta to share. The drinks were decent, but transparently I was most disappointed by their lack of flavor within their food and their service. There have been several reviews commenting on the service before, I was hoping it had changed since it had been some time, but unfortunately it hasn't. I don't think I'd come back. Was quite sad because of all the great reviews. Hopefully it was just a one off

    My husband and I came for a dinner reservation at 5 PM on a Monday night and I was shocked to see that there was already a line outside before they had even opened. We were the only party there that had reservations and got to sit in the "upstairs" dining room but was on the edge and my poor husband had to sit right next to the stairs where everyone would be able to see him from the entry way. There's outdoor seating available and it looked like a fair amount of groups had opted for that based off of the fact that nearly all the outside tables were taken when we left (calling this out b/c it was 45 degrees out and heat lamps only provide so much warmth). I do like the fact that their pizzas are light and that they actually slice the pieces well to make it easy to tear. I kind of just wished they would leave the condiments on the table rather than you needing to ask for them. We ordered: Pretzel: 2/5, it was a bit thin and too soft for my liking but the beer cheese was good Shaved brussels sprouts: 3/5, interesting flavor but personally I thought it was too much cheese because I wasn't able to taste any of the lemon vinaigrette The Jerk: 4/5, good flavor and unique Truffle Shuffle: 2/5, I was so sad because this is the one I was looking forward to the most. It smelled amazing but tasted like nothing ~~Parking: The restaurant is located in the Los Gatos downtown area so there's an okay amount of street parking and there's a few public parking lots available as well. Parking can be difficult depending on the time you come. ~~Service: Good. I'm not one who likes dark dining and asked to have the lights turned on b/c they were just off with only a candle for light. Towards the end of our meal the overhead lightbulbs seemed to be finicky and kept turning off and on. I noticed the table that was next to us was asked if they wanted anything with their pizza upon delivery but we had to ask for crushed red peppers. ~~Return: Possibly, to try other items on the menu.

    If I could give Oak & Rye extra stars for vibes alone, I would. This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Los Gatos. The interior has that old world, warm, slightly rustic feel that immediately makes you want to settle in. Add genuinely great customer service and a prime location and it already feels like home before the food even hits the table. Now the food. I am a huge soft pretzel fan and that is what brought me here in the first place. The pretzel absolutely delivers. Crispy on the bottom, chewy inside, almost reminds me of Korean salt bread. It is dangerously good. If I am being picky, and I am, it could use just a touch more butter to be perfect, but I still think about it regularly. The pizza is where things get serious. The pizza with their hot chili and honey is unreal. It honestly reminded me of Pizza 4P's in Asia, which is a very high bar. I am officially an elitist when it comes to pizza now and I am not sorry about it. The crust, the balance, the flavor, it is all there. Fantastic is not an exaggeration. My only wish is that they leaned even harder into creative cheese options. I would love to see a five cheese situation with brie, camembert, truffle oil, or even a charcuterie option for apps. Putting that out into the universe. The tap beer was excellent and the recommendation from our waiter was spot on. Love when the staff actually knows what they are talking about. This place is especially lovely on weekends but do yourself a favor and reserve on Resy because everyone else has figured it out too. Oak and Rye just gets it.

    Dont understand the bad ratings! We went on Monday evening and it was hopping almost to full capacity. Husband and I ordered cocktails and 2 pizzas-the margarita and the goomba. Loved the charred edges on the crust and the pizza was amazing! Best eaten hot. Cocktails were good too though on the smaller side. Service was friendly and we will definitely go back! Total was $100 with tax and tip for 2 codktails and 2 pizzas.

    Mushroom
    Amber L.

    We came here on a Wednesday night at 5pm with reservations. No issues getting in. Getting a table. Started with the mushrooms, unique flavorful and amazing. Then we went to risotto balls which were perfect in texture with crunch and softness with a ripe tomato sauce that was so subtle but nice. Then we went to the Scotty to hotty. Was delightful. Service was attentive and timely. I will be back.

    Konami Code Pizza
    Chinmay S.

    Picked up a couple of pizzas from Oak & Rye for a nice afternoon picnic at the Vasona Lake Park this weekend. My friends also joined and ordered their pizzas and a couple of the Brussels Sprouts Salad. Everyone enjoyed their orders. Both the Margherita and the Konami Code pizzas that we tried were great. The pizzas were a little soft, but that's likely because we had them after almost 30-40 mins. Better soft than tough/chewy TBH. Pro-tip: get their hot chili oil - it gives just the right amount of kick to the pizzas. The service was quick, and they also gave us some plates to go when we said we were doing a picnic in the park - that was really nice of them. Looks like they have some good rye-based cocktails. I'll keep that for next time. Definitely recommend!

    Ramen special this month
    Moe R.

    I've started having dishes other than pizza here. Oak and Rye calls itself a pizza place but it's so much more. Elevated dishes reflect fine dining in a casual place with an energizing vibe. Yesterday was ramen day (yes, ramen, with a tonkatsu broth that honored the pork. I also had the gnocchi with jerk chicken, a staff favorite that is now a favorite of mine, too. Stellar service from genuinely happy people. And did I mention the food? And, yes, I still think the pizza is the best in the Bay Area.

    The wife wanted to hang out in Los Gatos last Sunday so we walked around for a while and did some window shopping. She had heard about Oak and Rye and wanted to check it out. So we killed time until they opened for dinner at 5pm. The place looked pretty small from the entrance but it looks like there are more seating areas to the left of where you enter. But we wanted to sit at the bar anyway, so that's where we went. Bar was open so we bellied up and got our menus. We weren't really ready for a full-on dinner so we ended up splitting a pizza and a salad. This ended up being pretty much the perfect amount of food and certainly could have served as a dinner for 2 people. The Arugula salad was very good. It was well-dressed and a large size. The pizza we shared was the Scotty 2 Hottie, (throwback to the old WWF wrestling tag team). The pizza was good but not amazing. Since going to Italy last year and starting to make pizza dough and pizza at home, I guess we've kind of become pizza snobs. Don't get me wrong, the pizza was good. It just didn't blow us away. But the stand out part of our experience was the bartender, Austin. He was very friendly and informative. I spoke to him about how I was recently laid off from my job and had long thought about getting into bartending. He told me how he got started. So we had a few drinks, a glass of wine with the pizza and I got an Amaro flight after dinner. Austin was very helpful with making suggestions. Overall, the experience at Oak and Rye was very good and we would certainly come back.

    We went for dinner on a busy weekend. Since we had a reservation, we were seated right away outside on a side patio. The seating was a bit odd since it was right by the entrance and not part of the main patio, but the staff was super friendly and welcoming. Our server even changed the heater gas tank for us, which we really appreciated especially on a cold winter night! Food-wise, the roasted potatoes were pretty bland and not our favorite. The gnocchi was very flavorful, and the truffle pizza was good too. We also had some wine and a mocktail with our meal. Overall, the service was great, and I'd definitely come back again because of it.

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

The ambience inside is nice with mood lighting, lots of dark wood, elegant decor, & house music. They have a covered patio area for outdoor dining, in addition to a couple of other tables. The inside has booth seating and standard table seating. A nice bar area with engaging and friendly bartenders. Two separate women's restrooms and one multi-user men's restroom. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding! The hostess was helpful and welcoming who promptly brought us to our table and recommended some of her favorites. Our server was Therese who took excellent care of us. She was welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Also, the manager came around to check up on us, to make sure we didn't have last calls right before the kitchen closed. That was considerate. We decided on ordering the... Grilled Pork Chop: bourbon marinated grilled peach compote, peach, red onion & tomato salad (4/5). The presentation was gorgeous. A Sous vide pork chop with grill marks cooked to a medium temperature. Savory and complemented with the tangy, spicy, and tart salad. A tad heavy handed on the salt for the sauce, otherwise, it was still delicious. Gnocchi Ragu: lamb bolognese, pecorino (4/5). The meat sauce was delicious. 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 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!

Really wanted to love this but most likely wouldn't order again as I've had better. - Argentinian Steak came with fries & chimichurri. Great charred flavor on the steak and cooked perfectly medium rare. Chimichurri also tasted great simple, herby, accented the steak well. - Pesto Pasta seems to be a favorite at this place. Definitely basil forward and tasted the way a pesto should taste. Simple with few quality ingredients. A lil surprised by the egg tagliatelle instead of regular pasta but felt healthier so that was fine with me. - Rum Coffee Ice Cream was the adult ice cream for the evening. You could taste the coffee with each bite but I was really looking forward to tasting some rum which was lacking. - Blood Orange Cosmo even though I ordered this less sweet it was still sweeter than I'd like. Needs a bit more balance and it'd be an amazing drink. - Villa Tempranillo Rioja needed to breath but did get better as dinner went on. Beautiful restaurant, a bit cramped so much that we could hear the entire conversation at the table next to us. But still beautiful. Service was also just OK. Our server was not present most of the evening which made it difficult to ask for simple things like another drink. Dinner also lasted longer than I'd like as it took him a while several times to check on us or even bring out the bill. Was Michelin Bib Gourmand in previous years and now Michelin recognized. Regardless still worth a visit as regulars seem to enjoy Asa. Will try outdoor next time for a different vibe. ++ on the beautiful wine selection range.

Unfortunately, that was the one disappointment. The meat was pretty tough and not nearly as tender as I would have expected, especially considering the overall quality of the restaurant. The cocktails, however, are amazing! The ambience is beautiful and the service has been wonderful both times I've visited. Overall, I really enjoyed both experiences and would definitely come back. The only reason I'm giving 4 out of 5 stars instead of 5 is because of the quality of the steak on my second visit.

    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.

We sat at the bar, where Nate (the bar manager), Skyler, and Juanita absolutely crushed it. They were attentive, personable, hilarious, and somehow managed to all be ridiculously good-looking. Coincidence? I think not. When we realized we wanted to catch the last game of the NBA Finals outside, Juan, the evening manager, was more than happy to move us to the patio. That kind of flexibility and hospitality goes a long way. Great drinks, great vibes, and an even better team. They made us feel like regulars, even though it was my dad's first visit (my second visit). We'll definitely be back!

The diavola pasta had a great texture and a flavorful sauce, although it felt a little simple since there weren't many other ingredients mixed in. The crispy brussels sprouts weren't for me, not very crispy and a bit hard. The gelato was much better than I expected and ended up being a nice way to end the meal. The service was great though and the lighting inside nice! Overall, the meal was a bit hit-or-miss, but I'd come back to try more of the pizzas since those were definitely the highlight

She was delightful and engaging while I was waiting for my friends and told her about some special needs for one individual which she did a perfect job assisting. We had a variety of specialty drinks - all tasty. We had the fried tempura battered string beans appetizer which comes with a zesty sauce. Entrees included lamp chips, truffle fries, and a couple of orders of the pappardelle pasta and braised short ribs. Too full for dessert but another special martini and coffee. Beautiful ambiance too!

From the moment we checked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and making a reservation about a month in advance definitely paid off since the restaurant was packed. For starters, we ordered the fried chicken & cornbread and the summer peach salad. The chicken and cornbread were easily a 10/10 super crispy, well seasoned, and the cornbread was rich and buttery. The peach salad with friend goat cheese (YUM!) was really fresh and bright, a nice lighter dish to balance out everything else. I also had a glass of rose. For mains, we had the Prime Ribeye and the 7oz Harris Ranch Prime Filet, both cooked exactly how we asked and full of flavor. We shared a bottle of Duckhorn cab, and I appreciated that their wine list felt reasonably priced for the quality. We corked what we didn't finished and took it home. The only slight downside was our table being in a bit of a funky spot along a walkway, but service was attentive enough that it never really became a problem. Overall, I'd absolutely come back, and next time I'm saving room for dessert.

This was for…read moremy friends birthday of seven people, which was the perfect amount as we were able to hear each other, and the ambience was not loud at all. The decor is nice and modern and clean, and the food was simply amazing! We started off with the rare tuna tacos that were delicious as well as the salmon sashimi hors d'oeuvres that a friend and I shared. I ordered the miso cod which was rich, but not too rich over a bed of forbidden rice and spinach. I shared with my friend, the salmon that was equally as delicious. I could not choose which one I liked more. I do have to say kudos to Amanda our server was probably the most attentive and best server I've had in a very long time. I will definitely come back, Please note that this was on a Wednesday at 6 PM and there were probably 10 other people in the restaurant. It is not very large and pretty quiet. Parking was on the street or there are some public spots tucked away off the main street. I did not see any electric charging stations nearby, but there are some shaded spots from the trees in some of the parking areas. I look forward to coming again to this restaurant for any special occasion. Great for groups or romantic evening.

We started with the beef carpaccio and it was tender and delicious. We also had the shrimp cigars and two old fashioned. For main course I had the miso cod and it was tender and very flavorful- the miso saturated the entire fish. Going forward I would have ordered a vegetable to pair with it. My husband ordered the duck and that was a bit disappointing. They hadn't rendered the fat properly so the skin was chewy rather than crisp. The duck was slightly on the tough side. On a very positive note, the wines are market price rather than the large markup you see in most restaurants. The chocolate cake was overly dense. Since it was a birthday celebration they also brought out little chocolate cream filled cups that were delicious. We will definitely return.
