    Korean Fried Chicken - KFC , order it! No regrets found!
    Ken D.

    Cool find in Gilroy. Ample parking , lots of seating indoors and outdoors, pretty good sized bar with seating as well. The interior is relaxed and friendly, yet modern. The service was super friendly, patient and full of explanations and suggestions on the menu. The food was great. Portions were ample, quality was high, taste was excellent, price was ok for the quantity and quality. We'll definitely come back again!

    Loco Moco and Chicken Satay
    Katherine N.

    If this restaurant were in San Jose, it would be packed all day, every day! I've been here multiple times with different people, and the food has been consistently amazing every single visit. They serve American-Asian fusion comfort food, and everything I've tried has been delicious. On my most recent visit, we ordered the Loco Moco and the Chicken Satay. The Loco Moco was definitely the star of the meal--it was absolutely incredible! The staff is always friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The restaurant is clean, modern, and well-maintained, with plenty of seating options, including tables, a bar, and outdoor seating. Even though it's in Gilroy, it's absolutely worth the drive. I highly recommend making the trip--you won't be disappointed!

    What a life saver! We were coming back from Carmel and wanted to stop by the area for lunch. Our original lunch plans fell thru since there was a huge wait at the restaurant but we saw that Alehouse And Bistro was also in the same plaza and decided to give them a try instead. 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!

    Steak salad
    Jessica L.

    First time coming here, I stopped in for a late lunch and had a really great experience. Walked in and got seated right away and I loved that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. 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.

    Pulled Pork Grilled cheese
    Vanessa D.

    Kimchi friend rice had a little kick but so flavorful! Cooked perfectly. Pulled pork grilled cheese was greasy goodness. Garlic toast with saucy pulled pork and cheese in the middle. The garlic fries were a great addition. Kids chicken tenders weren't anything great but a solid item. The bathrooms were gender neutral but the toilet seat covers were on the opposite wall from the toilet. Not convenient. Our server was friendly but i wish he would've checked in on us a few more times as i needed a water refill. Great menu selection though! A little bit of everything.

    Wild mushroom risotto, add shrimp

    Place is modern and clean. All staff greets you when you walk in the door. Santana was our server. He was super nice and kept checking on us. Food was great! Only downfall is I ordered a Diet Coke and it was in a can and not a fountain drink.

    Happy birthday!
    Paula C.

    Great food, awesome ambiance, and a great staff makes this one of our favorite places! One of my favorites is the Panko Fish and Chips. I love that they vary their beer on draft selections, and can always count on my waiter to recommend a hit!

    We were looking for a new spot to eat at for lunch in Gilroy. After a quick research on Yelp, Alehouse and Bistro was highly rated so we decided to give them a try. We arrived on a late Saturday afternoon for lunch. The restaurant is located in a nice plaza in Gilroy. Parking is easy and accessible in the large parking lot. Upon entering, the bistro had a clean sleek modern decor to it with an enticing bar that looked inviting. The patio was large and looked lively especially on a nice warm night. Our server/bartender Jacob was friendly and informative on the menu. We ordered a couple of happy hour drinks, strawberry sour and the island oasis. Our son got a strawberry watermelon lemonade. All our drinks were refreshing and delicious. As for food we ordered a hot stone bibimbop, kid's chicken strips, and a heirloom tomato and burrata. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. The Korean sauce for the bibimbop was so tasty and had the right amount of kick to it. The heirloom tomato and burrata was crisp and light. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Alehouse and Bistro. The local bistro atmosphere was a good vibe. I liked the Korean fusion in some of the menu options. We hope to be back again to try other dishes and the happy hour menu.

    Hot stone bibimbap
    Rinku I.

    Great service , excellent food and convenient location. We sat outside so didn't get a chance to explore the interior but there were a lot of people ; young and old alike. We walked in at 7:30 pm on Friday , the place was busy , but we were lucky to get seated outdoors right away. Our server was friendly and professional, service was prompt. For appetizers we ordered the coconut prawns 4, and mahi mahi tacos 4.5, both were fresh with excellent flavors. Although the tacos were my favorite. We also ordered the Hot stone bibimbap as main course to share. Excellent flavors and generous quantity of food, it was a perfect plate to share. 4.5 Drinks were good too , bees knees 4 Overall I would definitely visit again.

    Really good beer

The music playing was loud mariachi type which is fine by me. I'll mention that my guy friend and I are as white as they come and I was nervous going to this establishment as it's obviously geared towards the Hispanic community. However, there were no problems and we all got along just fine. I mention the race thing because unless you've been living under a rock, there's always a divide between Hispanics and whites and whatever and a lot of the community assumes it's too dangerous to be downtown at night because of that fact. I was born and raised in Gilroy I know how it goes . However I refuse to let that keep anybody from relaxing and having a good time..it's ridiculous to hate for no reason. There were no problems we had fun. Thank goodness there is an establishment open til 2am on most nights. We've been there twice so far. Second time was more crowded and it was a good time, no fights and no super drunk people Bring quarters for pool, there's only 2 tables. People were nice enough to let us play instead of claiming a table for the night. I would give 5 stars if they had shuffleboard and more pool tables. Maybe open earlier also like 12 for those that want to spend a day off practicing their pool game.

    A Great Spot for Pizza, Less So for Wine…read more We came here for a birthday party. The place is nice, and the staff is more than friendly. One heads-up: you can't bring your own drinks, not even water, since they want you to buy theirs. That would be fair if they offered a full selection, but they don't carry sparkling water, which we're big fans of. They serve pizza on weekends, and I have to give a shout-out here: the pizza was great! Crispy crust, good cheese, and a nice hint of garlic. Now for what could be better. At a winery, you'd expect some good wines. Sadly, not here. The white selection was limited to Pinot Grigio. It was a bit watery but pretty good, and unfortunately they ran out of it. This year's Rosé has the sweetness of unfermented grape juice. It's so heavy you can barely drink it without diluting it with water. The red, Cask 140, is the most expensive on the list. I don't think I've ever tasted such a dense red. If you're hoping for nuanced flavors, you won't find them here. Everything is overpowered by prune, and it's very tannic. So of the three wines we tried, two I'd never order again, and the one decent option ran out. Honestly, this place feels more like Fortino Pizzeria than Fortino Winery.

The staff member behind the bar greeted us with a blank, deadpan stare (otherwise known as a "GenZ Stare") that made the whole interaction feel awkward from the start. When we mentioned it was our first time visiting and that we were excited to be there, there was no warmth, no enthusiasm, and no effort to tell us about the wines or the property. Even the pours seemed careless. I know this is Gilroy and not Napa, but I still expected a welcoming experience and better wine service. Unfortunately, both the service and the wine itself were disappointing. The best part of this place was definitely the beautiful grounds, which would make a gorgeous wedding setting. Maybe this place is better suited as an event venue than a wine tasting destination, but based on my experience, I would not return. The two stars are for the beautiful grounds.
