I had the lamb flatbread, the ahi rotolo, and the Louisiana Buttercake. The food was off the chain. The flatbread was incredibly delicious, and had the perfect texture. The ahi was seared and cut to perfection. The buttercake was fantabulous. I had a pretty good expresso after enjoying all the foods. I had lunch here with one of my fellow coworkers. He enjoyed his entrée as well, which was a wrap with steak inside of it (I can't remember the exact name of his dish though). Nonetheless, the ambience was pretty chill, and the servers were incredibly friendly and accommodative. I will definitely return to this fine establishment to explore other items on the menu. read more

The reservations were a rough start. Odeum did try to contact me yesterday, it looks like open table was the issue (mostly anyway). When we got to Odeum today, the host was aware about me and what had happened. They explained and were apologetic. I super appreciate the host for all they did and how they treated us once we had arrived (Arisa?, I've botched the name but I hope I'm close). Food: A+ Atmosphere: A+ Staff: AMAZING!!! The patio staff on Mother's Day alone is reason enough to go here :D read more

The food was presented well, service was prompt. We came for lunch, parking was good. Hard to find the entrance from where we parked, we had to walk around the bldg. This is a good place for a dinner date, seemed cozy with their wall fireplace decor and lighting. It was a lot of food for lunch, i'd like to try dinner there. read more

We were excited to try this restaurant after reading some of the reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was not as great as that of some of the others. When we first arrived, we were told to, "Just wait there!!!" by a waiter. I was a little taken back, but figured that they must be busy (which they were not). Less than a minute later they sat us. It was an odd interaction. They sat us on the back wall, which had several small tables close together for couples. This is not my favorite set up, but again thought that because the place seems to be popular amongst locals, they must need tight seating. As we were seated, I overheard the couple next to us. Say that they had been waiting for over 20 minutes for a dessert. They were obviously frustrated. About five minutes later the dessert arrived, and the waiter offered to take the dessert off the meal, which was kind given their wait. We ordered drinks which came quickly. We ordered the beet salad and mushrooms as side dishes to share for starters. Our mushrooms arrived, which were good. Our waiter then came to take our entrée order and asked if we liked the beet salad, which had never arrived. About 10 minutes later it finally came. They're definitely seem to be a lack of communication between the waiters and the kitchen. We then we're going to try the spring rolls or braised short rib, but both items were out. Given that our experience hadn't been great to this point, we decided to ask for the check and visit a different highly rated restaurant in the area. I wish our experience would've been better, but it was definitely lacking. read more

I came here with the wife last night for Valentine's Day. I have to say that I was quite disappointed in finding out once we were seated that they only had a prix fixe menu for 125 per person. I was hoping to try their full menu and would have appreciated a heads up on the menu when booking the reservation. There was no such message on open table or through text. Felt really unethical and shady tbh. Apart from that the food was.. fine. For 300+ after tax and tip my wife and I were kind of underwhelmed. The seating was super cramped as well even though the restaurant was far from full. Some weird choices on the menu as well. The lamb riblets were.. not great, especially for a Valentine's Day menu. I'm not tryna get my hands messy to pick as a few bones. The ragu and the desert were probably the best items we had. We might be back to try their full menu at some point, but I hope this restaurant is more transparent in the future. We saw a couple and their child leave as well after being seated. read more

Ambience is pretty nice however If you like dining in somewhat tight quarters this is the restaurant for you. If you don't I would recommend asking to be seated outside. The timing soup to nuts was pretty good. If I could make a recommendation for consideration. I would be mindful of the incessant asking if each utensils, dish and glass could be cleared was definitely a bit overkill. This interrupted our date night from beginning to the end. This made our dining experience feel hurried up. I understand tables need to be turned over on a Friday night but this was too much. My 69.00 New York steak said Prime however I could tell the quality was a lower grade cut of beef as I had mouthfuls of gristle at times. My husband had Alaskan True Cod he loved it! The crack bread was also delicious! Dessert was yummy. I strongly recommend the LUISIANA BUTTER CAKE. read more

Odeum is very delicious! The food is high quality and we always bring our out of town guests here for a memorable meal

Odeum came highly recommended for a great dinner - and it did not disappoint! I arrived early and opted to sit at the bar. The staff was very friendly & welcoming. I immediately felt like I entered into a family kitchen. Jimmy, the newly appointed bar manager, provided excellent recommendations. I started with the Ahi Rothko. Not only pretty, but the taste was phenomenal. Not too filling, but it left me wanting more. The main course was the rack of lamb. It was cooked perfectly, served over a bed of the best mashed potatoes and green beans. I finished off the meal with the Loukoumades, Greek donut holes. This dish is definitely shareable and very tasty. I highly recommend Odeum for a flavorful meal and friendly atmosphere. read more

Food was great, service was not. Waiter was not attentive, did not check in during our dinner (had to ask the bus man to get our waiter twice), and had to go up to the bar to get a second drink. Service took way too long. On a Thursday night with no one else in the dining room, we were there for over two hours. They also kept messing with the music and kept changing the song until they found the one they liked. After the song, they put on another song they had already played. If the food wasn't great I would've given them one star. It was amateur hour. Shoutout to the chef. read more

I made reservations online for Valentine's Day hoping I could try their menu. A woman called me and confirmed my reservation and didnt inform me of the special valentines menu: the food on the menu was 4 course meal for 140 per person. I was able to pick from the choices however it wasn't what I wanted. The waiter asked me if the hostess called me explaining how the menu works and what specials they had for menu. I told him no nothing was explained. Parking was challenging, also the tables were crammed in there leaving no space. The ambience was horrible as I couldn't even hear my husband. a waiter dropped a plate on my back. We were sitting by the bar and people were coming in an out. It took 25 mins for our dessert to be packaged to go. My husband and I were really angry and we don't want to return. Additionally a lady was passing roses to all the ladies but I never got one. read more

Odeum was bustlin' on a Sunday at 5:00pm! My friend got the polipo and duck confit (two primis), and I got the moussaka. - Polipo ($22): Tender, but not much flavor. The beans definitely balanced it out since they were quite spicy! 3/5 - Duck confit ($20): Substantial enough to be a main dish. The skin was crispy and the meat was pretty moist. 3.5/5 - Moussaka ($35): Greek version of shepherd's pie. After the rave reviews from the staff, I expected more. Overly salted, and overall just ok. 3/5 Very dimly lit indoor area. That's how I can tell I'm getting old...almost had to bust out my phone light to read the menu. Service was ok. Slow to refill water, our server wasn't sure of the specials or that the Moussaka was on the menu when I ordered it. 20% auto service fee. Reservations available on Opentable. read more

We love the food here. Tonight, we door dashed our favorites, the skirt steak and the quintet. The skirt steak was listed as a la carte but had a picture of how it is served in the restaurant along with a description stating it included veggies and lemon potatoes, for $60. We received the steak pictured. I called and the hostess told us that is how it comes now. Pretty annoyed because that seems like a bait and switch. That steak dinner will now be $70+. The food was still delicious though. read more

Food, service, ambiance, music. All wonderful. Sat inside and while cozy was stylish, lively and just pleasant. Everyone was great from the hostess, the wait staff and the bus staff.

We were greeted right away. Even though the restaurant was packed, No one rushed us at any point. We had a great table. It was a cold night but the temperature of the restaurant was monitored nicely. Our friendly waiter answered all of our questions. The quality of food, presentation and the taste was perfect. We were given a complementary appetizer. Will definitely go back. The only thing was the table next to us ordered some kind of sea food with a very strong smell. We could smell it the whole time they were eating. We both like seas food as well. I'm not sure why it bothered us so much. Maybe because the tables were about a foot apart. I'm not sure if that is a normal thing or the tables were that close due to the number of customers. Overall very happy with my dinner. read more

Been there about 20+ times. Great Service, dishes that are consistantly "delish"! Tonight had a number of items, the Scallops, Oysters, skirt steak, salad & a fantastic desert to top it off!

Had a great meal here during a road trip. Coming back for the food! The restaurant was crowded, and the service was good although I felt the hostess was a little snooty at first But she warmed up.

We celebrated a birthday in this artisan restaurant. The weather is nice here in Morgan hill. We sit outdoors, the sun is perfect, the staff has helped moving the heater next to us as it's a bit windy. There wasn't many crowd in a Sunday morning but enough to feel the vibe. We ordered a hummus - the bread is so crunchy though soft, sprayed with all kinds of spices. Even before you eat it, you can smell the lighted based spices and their mixed aroma. This dish has opened up our appetite perfectly to welcome the next few. The main dishes we ordered are grilled chicken souvlaki as well as the signature odeum gyro. The chicken has a good balance of nutritions with grilled vegetables and every ingredient preserves their own taste while creating an amazing mix with each other. The gyro came with lamb, potato, tomato, red onion, arugula, yogurt and feta cheese, interesting mix, the lamb was very tasteful, the arugula salad is very fresh and a great balance. it's so huge that we have to Togo it in the end. The dessert was on the house, it's a strawberry pudding with cinnamon, it was a great surprise, I like the mixture of fruit sour and dessert sweet. The experience is definitely great, with the staff attentive to you. I would like to try their dinner menu next time. read more

Odeum - [Morgan Hill] - Skirt Steak -Sept 2024 - Mediterranean Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

Long review but basically, food was ok, service was not. I'm so bummed to write this review. I love eating at our local restaurants and not having to go all the way to San Jose, but our service was horrible, I would have rather sat in traffic to go to a farther place with good service. First, the water that was poured into our glasses was warm and it also had bits of things floating around in it. One of my friends asked if this was water that had lemon or lime in it, because that would explain the floaters. The server just said, "No, I just filled this pitcher." When we showed him the floaters in the water he said, "I don't know what that is." Didn't offer to take the waters away and get us clean ones. So we asked for that water to be taken away and we ordered sparkling water instead since we knew it would be bottled and clean. When he brought out clean glasses, there was no ice in them. So, we asked for ice. And we continued to ask for ice at least 3 times before we were actually brought ice. 3 glasses half filled with ice, for the 5 of us. We were celebrating a birthday and all 5 of us ordered a salad and shared 3 pizzas. I had the Mediterranean salad with the dressing on the side. I did really enjoy that. The pizzas came out and were not hot, they were just kind of warm. We asked for red pepper flakes, hot oil, and parmesan cheese, you know, the things that come with pizza. The hot oil made it out to us, but after asking multiple times for the pepper and cheese, those never came. Although, we were brought cracked black pepper and then regular pepper, that we didn't use because we never asked for that. We also brought a cheesecake to surprise our friend with. Not much of a surprise when the server comes out and says to the entire table, "You brought a cheesecake, we're going to charge you $5 a plate to plate it up for you." Not quite sure why they couldn't have said that to the ONE person that went inside to let them know we were ready for the cheesecake. And, the cheesecake was not refrigerated for us as we waited to eat it. Another thing that ruined our vibe as we tried to catch up and chat was the server kept asking if there were plates that could be taken away. We would nod and say, "Oh yes, thanks, these are good to take." And then he'd wait at the end of the table until we passed him the plates. There were also several plates that we said he could take away, but he never did. Odd too, because the plate with the salad dressing I had on the side sat the entire time at the end of the table closest to him and after letting him know multiple times he could take it, he never did. Hopefully with better training things will get better. read more

Food was good! Service was OK but took a very long time to get our food (greater than 1 hour). The patio was a nice place to sit and we overall enjoyed ourselves despite the wait. read more

We were very excited to celebrate a special occasion as we'd heard some good things about this restaurant. The ambiance is nice. Eclectic decor and a good vibe. Service was good, very friendly staff. Two people in our group ordered the special lamb shoulder. It was so overcooked one person sent theirs back, which is not something we do easily. They couldn't cut into it with their knife. The server graciously replaced the dish. The second one was better but overly seasoned. I ordered the sea bass and it was completely burnt on the bottom. At first I thought it was charred but this was well past char. It was simply burnt. Additionally it was very salty. I wasn't able to eat it and was surprised the server didn't ask me when he saw my food was virtually untouched. My daughter ordered the gnocchi which was not cooked through. She wasn't able to eat it. Again, the server boxed up the food without inquiring why it wasn't touched. So much of the food was bad, and this place has such good reviews, we wonder if someone in the kitchen was new. A disappointing meal. read more

We arranged, many days in advance of Mothers Day, a reservation for a party of 22. We ultimately were only 15. This was the worst communication I have ever seen in a restaurant. We requested a menu multiple times, and never received it. The Chef finally sent us the entire menu for Mothers Day, 2 days before or arrival. It was the standard menu, for Mothers Day, that all patrons could order from. We arrived early, and were asked to sit in a waiting area and order some drinks. We were finally seated a full 45 minutes after our reservation time. We were given menus, and when we started to order, we were told that we could only have the family style meal, with only 3 items, that we never saw a copy of in our numerous texts or emails. We ended up paying our bar tab and walking away without food. Never again! read more

5/5 Food was amazing as usual. We had the shrimp salad, steak panini, and crack bread. 2/5 panna cotta, more on the jello side than cream. Strawberry compote was yummy but I just didn't like the texture of the panna cotta 5/5 excellent service by Juanita. Wrong order quickly fixed. Personable and friendly service. Thank you for celebrating our anniversary early. 20% service charge was a bit off putting since it was just the two of us. Our server deserve much more and we tip as such for her great service. In my mind tips are based on service not an automatic "IOU". read more

Odeum - [Morgan Hill] - Did not expect a 20% service charge for two people. - Mediterranean Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

Odeum is a cute little restaurant tucked away in a garden in Morgan hill and features the culinary delights of Michelin awarded chef Salvatore Calisi. We had a delightful champagne filled lunch where we ate most of the appetizers off the menu! Loved the ambience and service of the restaurant, the staff ensured we had heaters around us and were prompt with orders and asks. At first when I read the menu, I was like what is this place trying to be - primarily Mediterranean flavors, but then also Italian and California cuisine? As you read about the chef's background you get it, but it's still a very confused menu and doesn't have an identity. Don't get me wrong, fusion and creativity have it's room but a straight up section on pizzas/panini's and then another on gyros just seems like it is trying to cater to more clientele. My two cents, the menu could through a major trimming and keep their best while saving costs, in line with the more artisanal restaurants. Quintet - An assortment of 5 mediterranean dips with pita. All were great but the ricotta with honey was the best, Tzatziki was very refreshing. Definitely recommend. Pita was nice but not freshly baked and spongy. Polipo (Octopus) - this was MY FAVORITE wow. It is so easy to turn Octopus into rubber, but it was braised and then grilled nicely. But the star was under it - escarole and cannellini beans, sauted in garlic and lemon.. very Italian wedding soup-esque, I'd go back just to get that! Crab Cakes - were nice, we ended up getting 4 orders of this among 6 people. It was well flavored and moist, crab meat could have been fresher. Crack Bread - as described decadence in a bread soaked with all the good stuff, everyone at the table loved this butter, garlic, cheese toasted baguette. Funghi Ripiene - This was mushrooms stuffed with a truffle risotto and topped with a decadent garlic sauce (as a nod to local garlic produce). This was excellent - in terms of creativity, execution and felt more farm to table. Keftedes - The yoghurt sauce and pepper, olive relish on this plate stole the show for me. The meatballs were flavorful but a little dense in my opinion but a bite with all of it together - awesome. Beef Tartare - well executed, hard to do that with a tartare so good job Odeum. The tartare was well dressed - beef not overpowered but good balance of acid, brine. Knife skills could be better with finer chopping. Calamari - So well executed, this actually reminded me of Venice with fritti calamari in paper cones. Not greasy at all, fried lemons were a great touch. Finally we had two birthdays at the table that we were celebrating, it was really nice that they got 2 and didn't skimp to give us dessert! Nice touch. It was a panna cotta with raspberry and creme fraiche. A little on the denser side but great finish to the meal! If we're in Morgan Hill again, we'll come back for sure. Would love to see it in the evening with string lights and music! read more

One of the better restaurants in that area, which is lacking great restaurants for the most part. I had the pizza which had a nice crust and was wood fired. The rest of the family had fish - and they enjoyed their dishes, even if they were a little heavy with the sauces. Service was good as well although having to walk outside and then go back inside to go to the restroom was strange. Ambiance was okay but the place is small and a little loud. read more

I have been coming here for a few years now I thought it was Morgan Hill's finest. I feel since the pandemic it's just not the same. Well the past 2 times it has not been the same. I feel that the food quality has gone down along with the service. The specials are not that special anymore they are always the same. We ordered two appetizers and both sold out, that's a first. We ordered the Wienerschnitzel it was horrible,dry, bland and the cold potato salad didn't complement the dish. The Ahi Tuna was also tasteless and the mash potatoes were salty! We were so disappointed with our meals. The crack bread was the only good thing. Also the servers are new and not trained well. They were so overwhelmed. Took forever to give our drinks, and ended up giving us the wrong ones. The back room I don't recommend it was so hot with no AC and with the kitchen next to the tables makes it even hotter(the blue curtain doesn't work). Sadly we will not be coming back, and will not recommend it no more Morgan Hill has no good fine dining. read more
