We went here last night for my birthday. We had a reservation. When we arrived at 5:30 the…read morerestaurant was empty. Soon a table of three showed up and then a table of 10. The server was nice, but there was only one for the entire restaurant. She took orders and made drinks. When we were finished with our meal the one server was taking the orders for the table of ten. By the time she took the orders and entered it in the computer, it had been about 30 minutes. She asked if we wanted dessert and I said no because I was just tired of waiting. So we asked for our check. They use one of those little handheld devices to pay at the table (which was great!) but we had to wait for her to make more drinks first. The food was decent but way too salty. Almost every dish was so salty I almost couldn't eat it. The octopus was cooked ok but quite bland. The duck rice was probably my favorite. The dishes got cold really fast sitting under the A/C, which probably didn't help. The drinks were pretty good. I'm honestly shocked that this has Bib Gourmand status and from the same owners as Adega. Maybe it's a different experience on the weekend when it's busier. Honestly, if they didn't want to hire more than one server/bartender they should just close. The lack of people working didn't help their reputation in my mind and I don't know if I'd ever go back. For the price I expected a lot more from the reputation.

Absolutely amazing experience dining here…read more Walking in already feels like you're somewhere else. The live music and atmosphere make it feel like you've stepped into a little piece of Spain.

I've enjoyed every visit, but this evening made me want to become a regular. The owner helped us choose our dishes, and his recommendations were perfect. We savored everything: the wine, cod, pulpo, langoustine, potatoes, shrimp, sausage, spare ribs, and bread. Every dish was delicious, and every sauce made us want one more bite. What makes La Catalana special is the whole experience. The setting is beautiful and intimate, the live music adds so much, and everyone made us feel welcome. There's a warmth to the room that seems to spread from table to table. We even felt a connection with other guests. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger, and we did for three and a half hours. Seeing the owner and chef again at the end of the night was a lovely surprise and a perfect ending to an evening that left us both so happy. I can't wait to come back.

Absolute perfection from start to finish!…read more I had dinner here on Tuesday night, and Teleferic Barcelona completely blew me away. The incredible food and lively atmosphere immediately transported me right back to Barcelona. We started with the Iberian oysters and the Pulpo Teleferic, both of which were remarkably fresh and perfectly prepared. For the main course, the Paella Especial packed with octopus, clam, mussels, and lobster was a masterpiece--richly flavorful and captured those authentic Spanish flavors perfectly. To top off a world-class meal, our server, Julio, gave us stellar service. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire dining experience feel special. If you want an exceptional meal in Los Gatos that feels like a trip to Spain, this is the place. I will definitely be back!

I would have love for more options with vegetables since all their veges are fried. Make sure to make a reservation ahead of time as they are popular.

It was actually my first time trying rabbit, and honestly, I thought it tasted pretty similar to chicken. Service was quick and attentive, and the place is always really nice for a date night.

Customer service was kind and very helpful and that is why I will try again for dinner.

My friend ordered the duck soba, I had the tempura soba, and we also shared a couple of a la carte dishes. Finding high-quality, authentic soba in the Bay Area is quite challenging, so this place is a true gem for soba lovers. While I've enjoyed dinner here multiple times in the past, this was my first lunch visit. I didn't drink this time since I was driving, but their menu is excellent for those who enjoy pairing their meal with drinks. The crowd seems to include many Japanese expats, which speaks to its authenticity. A great, reliable spot for a calm and delicious meal!

Overall, we were quite satisfied with our choices. The grilled beef tongue was incredibly tender, and the fish was very fresh. They definitely make it to the top 5 of our Izakaya list.

All of the pintxos we tried (fr the pan y aceite de oliva, zanahorias rostizadas, indurain blanco, huevos con jamón iberico, cani cabra a la plantxa, to the torta de chocolate) were delicious & the service was courteous as well as efficient. What was disappointing was that I had specifically mentioned our daughter's birthday upon making the reservation as well as when we ordered the torta/cake, but neither the hostess/server who took our order nor the server who brought us the pintxos ever wished her a happy birthday. And it wasn't a busy night; only two or three other pairs of patrons were there. Excellent food, but disappointing place to hold a celebration that went unacknowledged.

The server (who seemed like an owner) greeted us and let us view the menu. When we were bewildered by the choices, she enthusiastically walked us through the entire menu, especially focusing on the anchovies, available as salted or oil cured. She especially recommended the Gazpacho. Never miss a server recommendation. the cucumber-forward Gazpacho soup and tumaca, I marveled at the rich tomato. California tomatoes are often a disappointment but these were amazing. The chef strolled by, so I asked. Me: Where are the tomatoes from? Chef: My backyard. He went on to say he only uses tomatoes in season and has to disappoint customers asking for those dishes in winter. I'm not a big anchovy fan, but leaned into the anchovy dishes and was not disappointed. We tried both types and loved the combinations of flavors. Even the lone anchovies were accompanied with a perfect sauce. The delicias, bacon wrapped dates with Marcona almonds and Maldon salt were off the charts. The wagyu albondigas were spicy and yummy, but I would pass on them in the future in favor of the lighter, more subtle and complex flavored dishes. We ate too much and had no room for dessert, which was a rookie mistake. We'll have to come back for the huevos dishes (both Spanish tortillas made from hominy) and dessert. Limited wine list, but a great, well paired collection of exclusively Spanish wine. Take a seat, Napa, this is not your job today. Great staff, great vibe, great place. A great value for the experience if you imagine it in a tasting menu model.
