    Oh my lavender, triple IPA with a touch of lavender at the end

    Great choice of variety of beers, they go large here! they definitely have something for everybody. I will stop here more often to wet my lips on my way to Monterey most definitely.

    Staff was friendly and attentive to our needs. On Wednesdays the beers are $2 off. The system looked clean and well maintained. Nice to see Gilroy growing.

    I don't often give five-star reviews but this spot hands down deserves it. Each time I come in, it gets better and better! It's a small family-run business, Robert and Giovanni have been brewing beers together for over a decade and have finally made their dream of opening up a spot many can enjoy. There is seating at the bar top, high top tables, low tables and a small patio standing bar so there is plenty of space. They do special events so it can get packed, but there's down times as well where everyone can have a seat. They also have crowlers available for purchase once you find a favorite beer, and merch like sweatshirts, tshirts, beanies, etc. I will be coming back again, and again, and again, and again! Thank you Robert and Gio!

    New brewery in downtown Gilroy with a great selection! I had the Barley Pop, Poison Apple, and Red Ryeding Hood. My favorite was definitely the Red Ryeding Hood... Barley Pop is great for you hazy IPA lovers and Poison Apple is a strong sour. The atmosphere of the brewery is super welcoming. They even have free popcorn and a board games section, along with foozball. They'll usually have a food vendor outside and you can bring the food in to eat. Make sure to check them out, they have their grand opening May 20th!

    Flight of four different pours they recommended.

    Amazing rotating list of house made craft brews on tap and also in-can if you want to take some to-go (I did). Very friendly service with an intimate level of knowledge about each brew if you're looking for recommendations. They have some fun games like Jenga and often have food trucks show for tasty eats.

    Don't be fooled, the beer may be called settle down, but it's very much, set it up. Everything here is good, wide varieties of flavors and beer types for all you beer mongers. Be savvy and settle down at settle down brew.

    Can't wait for their tap room to be finally open. I've know the brewers for like, 10 years and I've tried hundreds of their brews. Seriously, hundreds

    Went to a "comedy" show at this location. Won't do that again. Was not much comedy to be had. The so-called comics had the wrong audience.

The area tends to be a bit dark but I did not feel unsafe. The restaurant itself is on the Main Street and has ample outside and inside seating. Our group was in the back and we had the area to ourselves. There is large bar with 2 TVs playing games. I did not try drinks from the bar because those were provided by the group I was part off but the staff were helpful and attentive. We also did not order from the menu but had a buffet - small pieces of bread, butter, salad, mashed potatoes, pasta with shrimp, skirt steak and chicken. Unfortunately no dessert. The food was good, especially the skirt steak. The reason for the 4 starts is that nothing really stood out in the menu where I wanted to go back. The place was not very crowded, at the bar or tables. Maybe 3-4 tables were filled. The decor was warm and inviting with mostly wood on the walls and bar. The area was surprisingly quiet for a Sunday evening. The restaurant is definitely worth a try!

    Came here before heading to the Gilroy Premium Outlet. Wasn't sure what we wanted to eat but chose…read moreto try ramen. Supposedly this was a top choice for Ramen in Gilroy. I got to be honest, it wasn't that great! I'm not saying I'm a ramen connoisseur but I've been to many ramen places including in Japan and this one was fair at best. I ordered the shoyu ramen, added an egg for an extra charge. I didn't like that the chashu was served on the side and clearly was cold along with corn, bamboo shoots and shitake mushroom. The egg wasn't even seasoned and was just a boring soft boiled egg. Nothing screamed authentic . For the ramen- I give 3 stars (will likely not come here for ramen) The garlic edamame was fair. Nothing special. 3 stars The unagi was $4 each and ordered 2. That was pretty good. 5 stars Service- it was one waiter who doesn't fit the Japanese vibe. He liked to say "Hell yah" so if you are a local and frequent here, you know who it is. He forgot our straws for our soda til at the end and handed it later with his hand. No paper on the straws. Chose not to use it. Overall, super disappointed at this place. It's a fail on me for choosing it. Place is small - maybe about 15 seats so be wary if you decide to heed my warning .

    There aren't many places to get Ramen in the Morgan Hill / Gilroy area but this place was a super…read moreauthentic restaurant a few years ago when we used to live in Gilroy. I remember we went in once and I asked if the Chicken Teriyaki was breast meat and the waiter had a hard time understanding me because he didn't speak very good English. It must be under new management now because the place seems very "Gaijin" now. Unfortunately the Ramen broth was kind of tasteless. I even put on a bunch of the spicy powder but that didn't help much. Pretty much everything we had was "meh". The sushi was just OK. The wife ordered their matcha pudding dessert that the waiter said was home made, but she said that it was pretty bland also. We certainly wouldn't come back.

    Probably one of the most hostile places I've ever been…read more We walked in and there wasn't a single person inside. We stood there for about two minutes before someone finally came out. He didn't say a word, so we asked for a table and all he said was, "Sit anywhere." Once we sat down, my boyfriend asked what beers they had on tap, and the guy just waved his hand toward the bar and said, "You can read them over there." Mind you, we weren't sitting anywhere near the bar, so my boyfriend had to get up just to see the list. Then he ordered one of the beers on tap. "We're out of that." So he picked another one. "We're out of that too." So... you get annoyed when we ask what beers you have, but then when we order the ones on your tap list, you're out of them? So what tf do you have? Honestly, if the server had just been polite, none of this would've been a big deal. But the entire interaction felt like we were inconveniencing him by simply walking through the door. like God forbid you have to serve customers at your job? After that, we just closed out our bill with our two drinks because we had zero interest in eating somewhere that made us feel that unwelcome. And to top it all off, my lemon drop martini SUCKED. save yourself the headache and just go to chilis.

    Found this gem by accident on karaoke night of all nights. CNS Karaoke (find them on Facebook and…read moreInstagram) instantly won me over. I didn't get a chance to eat, but the curry aroma alone told me it's the real deal. The staff (Kayleigh , Lisset, Lindsey and Brandon) make you feel like family, and even though it was packed, it never felt crowded -- never waited for a drink. We'll definitely be back, especially since we're renovating a hotel nearby. Don't pass up the chance to stop in.

The ambience is pretty nice, they have nice animal pictures throughout the restaurant. They have indoor and outdoor seating, a full walk up or sit down bar, and TV's. 3 stars. #3. The service was fantastic, glasses constantly being refilled, asked us if we wanted more bread and butter and our server made some great recommendations "5 Stars" The Food: #1. They gave us 2 nice warm bread rolls with a room temperature salted butter cube. The bread at first tasted salty but then my palate caught up and oh snap! this bread was good!! 5 Stars! #2. The server recommended the beef Wellington. "I ordered it med rare, it came to me med rare" it comes with mashed potatoes and longstem broccoli with cherry tomatoes, and a wine/vinegar reduction for the Wellington. The broccoli had a nice crispness to it and were seasoned perfectly, the cherry tomatoes added some brightness. The mashed potatoes were silky smooth and paired perfectly with the Wellington. NOW THE BEEF WELLINGTON: OH MY .....GOSH!!! My eyes rolled back into my head, it was so good!! The beef was as soft as butter, I could have used a butter knife to cut it (not kidding) and it melted in my mouth. The seasoning with the dough and the spinach with the mushrooms inside nearly caused a wet dream (if you get my point) "and don't even get me started on their reduction sauce for the Wellington!" The waiter walked up to me and smiled and said "and I quote"... gives you goosebumps, right? Oh he knew, HE KNEW!! 5++++ Stars! #3. Wifey ordered the Grilled Salmon salad. She ate the Salmon so fast that I barely had a chance to taste it. She said she really liked it, now I did get a chance to taste the salad and I must say that it was so good that it could have been a stand alone dish. Again 5 Stars. #4. And for dessert we had tiramisu. It came plated beautifully with a raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, whipped cream, and a beautiful orchid flower. The flavor while not the best I've had was still pretty darn good 4 Stars. Overall food and dining experience at the restaurant easily hits 5 stars! Total bill for said food - tip $124 pricewise I felt it was well worth it. Oh I will be back!

    Positives - have never had a bad meal. The food was good…read more Negatives - The service was very slow and our server seemed like he didn't care very much about being our waiter. He came to our table just after we were seated and before we had a chance to look at anything. Stood there looking annoyed as we scrambled to look at the menu for drinks and appetizers. We very quickly told him we would need a few minutes. The few minutes though turned into 10-15 before he came back to take our order. The appetizer took an extremely long amount of time to get to table. The young man who brought it wasn't our server and did not check to see if we needed anything else. When our waiter eventually came back with our cocktails. He just held them out to the nearest person and made us pass them down the table. Eventually after another long wait, our meals arrived. Server nowhere to be found. By this time our first drinks and waters were empty. Server didn't come by for quite awhile after. Some of our party asked for more drinks and water. We never got more water. Server never came by mid meal to ask how we were doing. If we needed anything else. I would've ordered another drink if I had a shred of confidence that it would've been delivered before I finished my meal. Speaking of the cocktail. YOU DO NOT MUDDLE THE CHERRIES IN AN OLD FASHIONED. It was just a mash of fruit floating around at the bottom of the glass. We finally saw our server again when he came by to ask if we wanted desert. He dropped off the menus and then disappeared for another 10+ minutes. At which point I had to go find him to inform him that we wanted to order dessert since we were celebrating my father's birthday. When the other young man brought our desserts we had to ask for new plates and clean utensils. We again had to ask for more water since it wasn't brought when previously asked for. Our server then eventually showed up for the check. He told us the first card didn't go through. He did not do this quietly or with tact. He came back after the second card didn't go through. We did not get any banking notifications about these and inquired if perhaps their system was the problem. It wasn't until the third card didn't go through that he admitted they were trying to fix the problem on their end. He did not apologize. We've dined at this restaurant multiple times a year for several years. This was by far the worst experience I've ever had here. If you care at all about the service you pay for then I would suggest you avoid this restaurant. Very disappointed. Next time we'll be dining elsewhere.
