    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.

    Beeeeeer

    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

    If you are looking for amazing beer, this is the spot ! Not only are they family owned and operated - they produce a variety of beers / seltzer's for everyone to enjoy. Definitely recommended for locals & if your visiting !

    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.

It wasn't busy for a Saturday afternoon, so the vibe felt relaxed and I didn't feel rushed at all. Service was great and the food came out pretty quickly. I ordered the KFC bowl and it was delicious with just the right amount of spice. Also had the steak bleu salad, the steak was cooked exactly how I asked and tasted amazing. The Gal-Bi tacos were a great appetizer too, full of flavor with a nice hint of spice. Overall everything was delicious and the experience was super enjoyable. Definitely coming back and recommend trying.

We had a party of 10, 6 adults and 4 kids and were able to get seated immediately. Very clean modern place with a really nice and well stocked bar. Food was an interesting combination of pub food and asian fusion, which just happened to fit our tastes. I had the loco moco and my partner had the mushroom risotto. Food was tasty without feeling too heavy for gastropub food and the servers was super attentive to us and the kids. Our friends liked their poke bowl and katsu curry as well. Shout out to our server who went above and beyond getting a toy our toddler dropped behind the bench. Definitely a place to consider if you need a place to rest and eat when you come thru Gilroy, hopefully next time we will get a chance to try our the cocktails!

We grabbed a white wine flight that was extremely well curated, every pour was refreshing and easy to enjoy. The flatbread was surprisingly really good too and paired perfectly with the wine. The back patio completely makes the experience though. Beautiful weather, live music setup, relaxed crowd, and just an overall easygoing Los Gatos afternoon vibe. The guava mimosas were also a standout. Light, fruity, refreshing, and perfect for patio sipping.

We started with Sangria (both red and white) and tho I like the white a bit more, both are really good. We also had the "a little bit of both" share charcuterie, and that was much more than expected! Not fancy, but 2 cheeses, 2 meats, assorted nuts, olives (have pits be safe!) and grapes with a few slices of a nice crusty bread and these really good large cracker type bread that was just perfect to have with our sangrias. We sat outside while a great local band played, the heaters were perfectly warm, nice string lights, and a good atmosphere. We also ordered a coffee and a beer later on, but I forget what kind of beer. Was good, I just don't recall the beer or ale. Staff was pretty attentive most of the time. The reason for not 5 stars: while I was in the industry for almost 50 years, our server seemed to get bored with us at some point and we had to flag her down. It was busy so I understand but the attitude changed a bit. Also, we wanted an item on the menu from The website and it wasn't available as the website wasn't updated. Minor issue, but the server seemed annoyed. Next time I keep the menus so that doesn't happen again. Still, totally worth the visit and since I live in the area now I would love to become a regular! Next time I want to try the flatbread

When he visited his parents recently they had talked about MoHi and when they visited downtown, he saw the restaurant and automatically knew we needed to try it. We travel everywhere with our dogs and he found out that they had a dog friendly patio. A few months later, we were in town and decided to try it for breakfast. There were not a lot of reviews or pictures of breakfast so he made it a point to order some items recommended by our server, Ty - who was phenomenal by the way. Always checked in on us and even complimented how nice and chill our doggy was. We ordered a vanilla latte, orange juice, the breakfast pizza, and the eggs Benedict. The breakfast pizza came highly recommended by Ty. On paper it sounded delicious, but we were still reluctant, because a breakfast pizza? It was delicious, lol. They have a sauce on there that is very similar to what In-N-Out uses and the farm fresh eggs and cheese brought everything together. I decided to try the eggs benedict because the English muffin is scratch-made. The benedict was savory with confit potatoes and fruit. The only thing that threw me off was the fresh fruit was tossed in a pesto dressing. I can definitely do sweet and savory, and all the other weird, eclectic mixes, but this one was just too different for me. The orange juice was a highlight because they literally squeeze it right in front of you at the bar. They have other mixes that they can do as well like orange carrot or orange strawberry. So make sure you ask what is on the menu for fresh squeezed fruits because this one you don't wanna miss Outside there are at least 20 tables with dog friendly written all over the patio area. They have water bowls, turf, and even a cute little fire hydrant. There was a doggy on the patio already who was well-behaved. Overall, we'd be back to try the rest of the breakfast menu!

    Southern Farm MOHI…read moreFarms delivers true farm-to-table dining as they serve up locally sourced seasonal ingredients, including some from their very own Uvas Farm. They are part of the Léal restaurant group, which has several similarly named restaurants in the works (MOHI Pasta and MOHI at the Grove), as well as a vineyard (Léal Vineyards) and a flower bar (Luxe Flower Bar). They also apparently own a theater, mansion, ranch, and an upcoming complex that will include housing, shops, and more restaurants. The Good: * Several free lots and free street parking * Catering available * Outdoor dog-friendly seating * They also have a bakery and café available if you're just looking for a light morning breakfast. * Service was friendly but stretched very thin during both our visits as the servers were working more tables than they should've been. * Overall, their pricing is very fair for the quality of the food. * Local beers on tap, as well as a large wine menu. * Wood-fired pizza oven. I didn't try the pizza, but my son wolfed it down. * Carissa loved her brunch Short Rib Fried Rice bowl, especially all the perfectly cooked butternut squash. * Tempura broccoli was fantastic. I loved that they served this instead of the ubiquitous fries to go with the burgers. The Meh: * I don't know why they can't have a menu on their website? The only way to view what's available is you have to pretend you're making an order. * The Brunch Loco Moco was just okay; the hamburger was a bit overcooked for my liking. Otherwise, the egg, rice, and gravy were delicious. * Their burger-to-bun-to-topping ratio is not good. It's mostly that their buns are much, much too thick for the tiny smashburger patties, and the whole thing ate very dry despite all the cheese. I did enjoy the crispiness of the bacon, though. * The salmon in the Roasted Salmon Bowl was also overcooked, and the amount of salmon for the price point wasn't really worth it, in our opinion. The Ugly: * Vegetarian Farm Spring Rolls were pretty bad, if I'm being honest. The only reason we wolfed them down was we had just arrived after a long 5+mile hike and were starving. The ricepaper skin was tough and leathery, and the filling wasn't very substantial. The sauce also needed to be thicker to stick to the rolls. * Parking can be a bit of a hassle, especially if you arrive during the nearby farmers market (Sat 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.), as they are located in the large parking lot on Depot St. Conclusion: Overall, we had very high hopes for this place, as this is the type of place we usually love. However, even after two visits, we just don't see ourselves coming back for another visit anytime soon.

For drinks, we ordered the Palomas. This was my first time having a Paloma, and I am a fan. It was perfectly refreshing and not too strong, but not too weak. I was actually really hoping to walk over here often to watch the Kings games since I can't get those games on my YT TV, as they are not local. But they told me they don't have the "sports" channels beyond the local teams. Bummer! You'd think with big TVs they would. The large TVs make the place feel like a great place to watch the games. But they are limited. I'd easily give them 5 stars if they had the sports channels. But I will be back! The bartender was very friendly. She told me about karaoke night next Thurs. I'm so there!

The host who helped us was a young girl and she was very polite, nice, and helpful. :) Something I really love about this restaurant is that they have so many amazing different options to select from. It was honestly a bit tough to make a decision because everything sounded so great in the menu! lol. Eventually I did decide I would try something new so I chose the Filet Mignon Pasta because it sounded like something that is very unique. I have never heard of this before so I was inspired to try it out! :) My boo got the Chicken with rice and broccoli. Everything was delicious! &Wow the food arrived very fast. I must say we absolutely LOVED the Filet Mignon Pasta it was PACKED with so much juicy, meaty, flavor. Yum yum! Highly recommend. Everything with our experience here was lovely and our server was pretty decent also. I only took one star off because the restaurant experience leaves a little to be desired like we don't necessarily love it enough to come back but it was definitely a nice experience overall. :) The #1 memorable thing about our experience was the delicious pasta :D but everything else was pretty standard. Still I would definitely recommend for a date night, small get together, and/or a quiet business meeting (since I noticed a few going on at the time lol.)
