We ordered a burger and a Cobb salad, both were excellent made with fresh ingredients and very large portions. I would come here again.

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.

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!

Good thing someone paid for me but if I had to pay, I would be really mad and would send them back to the kitchen. - Egg Benedict: if you look at the pictures, you can see the eggs are WAYYYY overcooked. I didn't even need to cut them open to know. I used my knife, barely touched it and I instantly knew the eggs were overcooked. How did it even get on the plate. HOW? That plate was $48 and the eggs weren't cooked properly. I couldn't believe it and still can't believe it. Besides the flavor was just okay. - The egg Benedict with Chorizo was super salty. Couldn't even it it. - Bone marrow was really salty too - Same with Fried calamari. It was just okay. The fried calamari I had at Tasty pot at a much cheaper price is way better. - The side of Brussels Sprouts was burnt The ones that I do like from this restaurant is Miss Peaches cocktail and yogurt parfait.

Won't be going back. Again VERY disappointing

They just do a few a little differently I noticed. When I come, I order a pound of shrimp: jellyfish smack, medium, with an addition of sausage. (Corn and potatoes too if I'm feeling really hungry.)

It normally isn't too busy and they provide you with all the utensils: a bucket to dump ur shells, a bib, gloves, salt, pepper and lime if you need it as well.

Unlike the other seafood boil places the food came in a ceramic serving tray. We ordered the house sauce with medium spice with shrimp, king crab and clams.The spice level was perfect and so was the sauce. Very pleased with this service, portions, pricing and the flavors. Definitely coming back to taste several other items on the menu. I would have loved for them to play some music rather than the silence. I wasn't too bothered. Y it though since I was too focused on the food.

It was spacious for sure with a mini bar section for drinks and sauce. I ordered the Birria and an Empanada, and so did my coworker. There were free chips as appetizers too and their sauces (red/ green sauce). For the price and size of the meal, it was pretty decent. $16 (tax included) for 2 birria and 1 empanada with chips. If you come here and know you're here for the birria then this is the place! I'm an empanada lover so I had to try it- had a good crunch, but could have had less cheese and more shrimp inside, otherwise pretty good! I would come here next time to try their drinks and a to go order of their empanadas!

Quesabirria tacos are basically like a Mexican version of a French Dip sandwich. The tacos were really delicious...the shredded beef was so tender but did need a little salt which helped a lot. The consume needed some stirring as all the delicious flavor was at the bottom. Once you got all those spices to the top and dipped the taco in it, oh man! It was sooo good. The chicken tinga bowl was absolutely amazing. The chicken was super tender, juicy and had such a fantastic seasoned taste. The rice, beans, quac and queso were fresh and just epic. I think I even liked it better than the tacos! Service was great and I loved the atmosphere. Will definitely return when in the area!
