I've never been to another wine bar that does this, but I still feel all the positives far outweigh this one negative. Their bottle pricing is super fair, and I can always find something good to drink. The food is also excellent -- you should definitely try their Burrata Bowl.

Solid place for vinegars and olive oils in Downtown Los Gatos! I asked for a sample of the aged…read moredark balsamic and a sample of the olio nuovo (new olives) which is their premium limited batch first press olive oil. Their vinegars were not that great, didn't have much flavor and had too much vinegary kick. Good vinegar is supposed to be incredibly complex and smooth in flavor. Would give them a 2/5 on the vinegar alone. The olive oil is where I feel this place really shines. In particular, their Olio Nuovo is really punchy and flavorful. I would give this place a 4.5/5 based on the quality of the olive oils. So come here and give things a try -- make sure to skip the vinegar!

Food: 4.5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4.5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: no but toast tab Return worthiness: yes Eve award: best quality cocktails in taste and presentation Highlights: - Cocktail quality: everything is top notch and fantastic - Cocktail uniqueness: drinks are truly their own creations you can't find elsewhere. Love the creativity. - Fun glassware: for some they have great receptacles to go with the personality of the drink - Theatrical ones: those are the creme de le creme and so much fun. I've had them all. Faves of those: -- Dead men tell no tales: pirate themed comes in a chest you can open and the drinks are in diamond shaped glasses. But it's not just a fun show. The drink is amazing. A smooth, complex, clarified bunch. 5 stars -- Magic carpet one: when they had that it was one of my faves I'd order regularly. 5 stars -- Rinse and repeat: one of their classics which comes in a bathtub complete with foam and a rubber duckie. Refreshing and not sweet. 4.5 stars - New for the summer. Tried a few -- Bear necessities: little honey bear with cantaloupe, white miso, and sauvignon blanc. Quite delicious and summery. 4.5 -- Open container: artsy clear version of a paper bag. Interesting ingredient mix with Havana club rum, fermented pineapple, almond milk, and others. Little bit sweet. 4 stars - Their now more standard drinks are still some of the ones I still rely one. Faves of those: -- Studio 54: vodka based with lemongrass and bubbles served in a shiny colored disco ball glass 5 stars -- Man and his mule: peppercorn version of a mule and love the peppery kick. 4.5 stars -- Grand larceny: punch of a spirit forward cocktail my husband loves. 4.5 stars - Rotate out cocktails ever so often to maximize the fun - Halloween and Christmas they go all out with their unique menus and decor: no generic national pop ups for them and I look forward to it every year. - Food items: high quality as well. Some of my go tos -- Crab toasts: 4 little pieces of lovely toast with a dollop of avocado mousse and a heap of dungenous crab topped with lemon beurre blanc. My fave snack I always have to get. 5+ stars -- Grilled cheese: wonderful combo of white cheddar, monterey jack, and provolone with a bit of truffle flavor--not too much--on a nice fluffy roll. Served with soup to dip it in--often times a nice tomato. 4.75 stars -- French dip: solid version on the same type of roll. 4.5 stars - Can make reservations now online which makes it a lot more convenient - Wines: have a fabulous wine by the glass list but I can't ever pull myself away from the cocktails - Bourbon/whiskey: have a stellar collection and knowledgeable staff to tell you about them (but again never get to it) - Staff: friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable - Atmosphere: relaxed yet fun Midlights: - They used to have a nice nut mix I enjoyed but not on the menu anymore Lowlights: - Books up for the holidays so grab those reservations when you can

Not sure why we never got around to trying this place before. Came in with some clients and was…read morehonestly pretty impressed. The service was great, the drinks were delicious, and the light bites were surprisingly good across the board. We had the Kobe "Eye of Ribeye" Steak Tartare, Prime Rib Beef Dip, Heirloom Tomato & Burrata, Lobster Roll, Black Truffle Deviled Eggs, Dungeness Crab Toast, and the Hamachi Crudo. The only thing that wasn't really our favorite was the deviled eggs, but everything else was solid. Overall, a great spot for a drink and a few bites. Definitely one of those places I'll be coming back to, especially since there are still quite a few things on the menu I'd like to try.

Food, drinks and staff have always been solid and consistently great but my evening tonight topped it all. After my friend left, I ordered food to go and a drink, went to the bathroom. The bartender was so fast.. but noticed I was alone so she kinda hid my drink until I got back. Then a little later I got sad because of a recent loss of a loved one. I was quiet, calm but this amazing woman noticed and checked on me. ‍ if I didn't love this place enough already, my stars tonight touched my heart. Thank you

We came here on a Saturday night and…read moreI was very surprised that it wasn't busier than it was for the location being great and the food being wonderful. Enjoyed the large tables, lights and ambiance. Would be a fun place for a group to get together. Now for the food - we were very happy with everything we ordered. We started with the queso fundido which was smaller than I expected but very good! For entrees we tried the quesabirria and fish tacos. The birria taco may have been my favorite bite! Delicious!! The enchiladas trio was also well executed. Tried the TJ Caesar Salad, the tamales and the chips and guac. The guac was another star, but the tamales were probably my next favorite bite. I would recommend trying 1 of each of the flavors. All were good and the sweet corn tamale was a surprise hit!! Would definitely come back here again!

They focus primarily on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir--and honestly, that works perfectly for me. It's worth knowing upfront, but what they do, they do very well. The tasting experience is awesome with inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, plus an on-site restaurant that makes it easy to linger and enjoy the food, wine and the setting. The main reason I came back was for their Pinot Noir, which I've loved in the past--and it absolutely delivered again. If you find yourself in the Los Gatos area, make sure to add this winery to your itinerary. They also offer membership with some genuinely nice perks, which makes repeat visits even more alluring and enchanting. Until next time--what are you waiting for?

I absolutely love the interior of the restaurant, very spacious and classy looking. We were a group of four and ordered 6 dishes and that were enough portions for all of us. My favorite dishes: Vietnamese pork rib tips: the meat was tender and just with enough sweet and savory. The rice and veggies were a nice touch to help balance out the flavorful meat. Selection of daily oysters: I am not a big fan of oysters but these were surprisingly great. The size was just right and there were three different sauces. I tried them all and personally I think they were all great. The other dishes rigatoni, and steamed curry mussels. I think they were all fairly tasty. Service was wonderful!!! The waitress for our table was very attentive. Definitely will come again for happy hour or dinner.

From the chicken bites app to the pork shop and Salisbury steak, it was al delicious and well prepared. It would be a 5* if it wasn't for the service. Nice and friendly, just slow. Drinks came after the appetizer, had to ask for silverware after the meal arrived. I ordered a second beer and it took so long we asked to cash out before it came. We will try it again - perhaps it was just an off night. Might be one of our favorite places in Los Gotos if the service is better next time.
