Have I really never rated this place? And yet, I've spent so many sloshy nights here, taking drinks…read morefrom random strangers, making friends with pretty girls in the crowd, and watching drunken-unruly customers get dragged out of the place on bar stools. What's not to like about that? Such great people watching, staff who remembers your face (but never a name---this place is pretty packed on weekends). You come here for the live music (and yes, you're gonna pay a club cover, but how else do you think DJ's or musicians get paid), and you'll stay for the azz twerkable DJ sets. I'm always fond of DJ Jason Dee or David. Yes, I'm going to dance. And if you've ever wondered if you could pull a cougar, well then wonder no more. Pull up here on a Friday or Saturday and test your suspicions. The worst thing that can happen is your pockets are $10 lighter. Cheers to new adventures.

Had such a fun time at Number 1 Broadway in Los Gatos! We went line dancing and had a great time…read more The atmosphere was lively, the music was fun, and it was such a great place to get together with friends and just have a good time. I'll definitely be back for another fun night!

Checked them out for the $35 filipino-texas buffet. It's probably the smallest buffet I've ever…read moreseen, kind of reminds me of a backyard catering event. However, the food was quite tasty! The pork ribs were very well seasoned, the mac and cheese was cheesy and delish, the chicken was great, and the corn bread was phenomenal. The pulled pork was nothing mind blowing. They also had some type of vegan mashed potato looking thing that was super good, but the worker didn't know what it was called. On the side, we ordered the dino rib. This was like $39 but it was suchhhh a decadent slab of mean. So juicy and tender, and with their housemade bbq sauce it was perfection. Also, the mango habanero sauce is really good here! We tried a couple of drinks here, but they weren't great. Very strong though! I liked the mango tango frozen drink the most. We came on a Friday night and there was band playing live rock music. It wasn't over bearingly loud and overly a really fun time. Lots of creepy men so be careful of that if you're a young girl. Overall: 3.9/5

My bestie sent me a reel about The Cats Restaurant on IG, so naturally we had to check it out over…read morethe weekend while watching a sports event. The location is pretty unique, right off CA-17/Santa Cruz Highway, so definitely pay attention to your GPS and make sure you take the right exit! They're only open Friday-Sunday, so plan ahead. We came right at opening time and there were already customers there while the staff was still setting up, so I guess this is definitely a local favorite. Their AYCE BBQ is $35/person, with around 4-5 protein options like chicken, brisket, pulled pork, and ribs, plus sides like rice, pancit, mashed potatoes, etc. Everything was decent but didn't really wow me. I'm usually all about the ribs, but surprisingly the chicken and brisket sisig ended up being my favorites. Both of us went for about 3 small rounds before we completely tapped out lol. The drinks were actually a highlight! The Calamansi Spritz had me hooked from the first sip and I definitely recommend it. Our bartender was also super sweet and checked on us throughout the meal. My bestie's margarita ended up being too spicy for her, and she was happy to remake it for her. Overall, it was a good experience and I'm glad we made the trip to check out The Cats.

We brought our own picnic stuff but there is a wine tent if you want a refreshment. I didn't see any food but lots of resturaunts are an easy walk if you want to grab take-out. Clean porta-potties are available with a hand washing station. Parking is everywhere, i doubt youd have to walk more than 2 minutes and we parked right in front. It's located in front of the library/civic center (directly across the street from Mikes Bikes). I'd give five stars if they had artists who perform their own original music instead of 70's & 80's cover songs.

Stopped for a tasting in the tasting room. It was easy to book a reservation online…read more Upon arriving, We were greeted by name by Diane. She was very welcoming and got us started on the tasting. We did one of each of the tastings to try the variety. There were good wines on both selections. Having been to Napa/Sonoma I'm familiar with the wine club pitch. It did come a bit early and listened to a lot of 'upsells' to others that had stopped in to get their wine club order. As someone in sales/commercial roles, I can appreciate the hustle and recognize that Diane is very good at her role. That said, we ordered a bottle to enjoy on the patio and took some with us for the wine suitcase to bring home. The stone buildings are pretty remarkable and the patio provides a lot of room to enjoy the venue.

No, jazz is not my favorite music, but the ambiance and atmosphere here is just so fun and relaxing. I love that you can bring your own food and drink and have a picnic with live music in the background. They also have a booth selling wine, and it's usually a local winery pouring. They used to be very strict about not having blankets on the grass, chairs only, but this past summer a lot of people had blankets and they weren't told to fold them up. While it can get crowded, you're usually able to find a spot in the park to set up camp fairly close to the music starting.

Such a beautiful park maintained jointly by the Montalvo arts center and santa clara county parks…read more It's truly a hidden gem in Saratoga with beautifully maintained lawns, and ample trails. The Great Lawn in front of the main building ie the Montalvo Center allows picnics without reservations - just set up camp under a tree. There's a very well maintained Italian garden right next to the great lawn with varieties of succulents, a pagoda like structure and cedars. Also saw a wedding in progress while we were there and it is such a beautiful location for it! I will definitely visit again to explore the trails. Parking can be a little hard on weekends but you gotta just wait till a spot opens. If the event venue is booked out - that makes parking harder since they reserve a lot for guests. Free entry and free parking

All proceeds support Montalvo Arts Center with the aid of a battalion of volunteers, young and old. From the first hello by Gail when greeted at check-in to exiting venue, high touch experience. Thoughtfully coordinated and seamlessly orchestrated, including redirecting exiting auto traffic due to nearby auto accident. Meal was delightful including iced tea and coffee. Can upgrade to wine and bubbly for a fee. There were roaming models (Sunny - a Tita from the Philippines - was in our area) showcasing outfits from a local Los Gatos boutique. Raffle for a 10 person dinner onsite. Gift shop with crafts to buy. Have more time can explore grounds. Was encouraged to take home the floral centerpieces which had plastic floral bags to aid with transport. If don't have a generous friend to treat you to luncheon, can purchase tix for $75. I was excited to learn they host Sunday high teas in November before Thanksgiving. Will add to my Yelp! High Tea collection.

We used their taco guy and he was so nice and the food was delicious. Forgot to start with how Marcus the owner is so incredibly nice and great with communication.

The location is great, the staff is so nice, the space is perfect (tvs, large window, lots of seating and parking is easy). Also we hooked my husband's iPad up to the sound system and he made a playlist and I used the mic to give my little birthday speech. Looking forward to find another event to have here.

Their outdoor seating seemed popular so looking forward to trying that. In terms of drinks, they're a wine bar so mostly wine obviously, but they also do have a few cocktail options too -- though these are batched/pre-made. Deviled eggs are delicious and their pepper poppers are also good!
