It's very rare when the drinks are just as good as the food, but Tessora is a GEM with the tasty food and drinks to match.

Pure Olive Perfection & Exceptional Pouring!…read more We Olive is a trusted favorite of ours, so when family visited from out of the country, bringing them here was an absolute no-brainer. As always, the service was top-notch. Our server was wonderfully warm and attentive, guiding us through the options with expertise and recommending an incredible 2023 Alfaro Family Estate Pinot Noir that hit all the right notes. We had a blast tasting a variety of sample olive oils. The standout lineup for me: Jalapeño: A vibrant, spicy kick Fresh Garlic: Bold, aromatic, and savory Organic Meyer Lemon: Bright, citrusy, and sublime I can already taste oven-roasted olives drizzled with that Meyer Lemon oil--my mouth is literally watering just thinking about it! To top off a fantastic visit, the gentleman guiding us through the olive oil tasting reminded us of their bottle refill discount. Since we have an empty We Olive bottle sitting at home, we already have the perfect excuse for another trip back very soon. Highly recommend to locals and visitors alike!

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!

If you're looking for a great spot to get together with friends,Rootstock Wine Bar is your spot!!!…read moreThe ambiance is chill with indoor or outdoor seating set up for enjoying fine wine,a cold beer a light meal and listening to live music. The beer and wine selections are fantastic!! This was my second visit and again...I wasn't disappointed!!! The staff JD,Jayton and Talia,are friendly,knowledgeable,attentive and knowledgeable about the different wines and dishes being served. On my first visit, I ordered the Toscano charcuterie board.Although what was offered was quite delicious,it was a bit pricey. On this most recent visit,I ordered the Chicken Pesto sandwich and an order of truffle chips....and let me tell you...OMG...those truffle chips served with a perfect complimentary dip put me in taste bud Heaven!!! The sandwich was so incredibly yummy and full of fresh flavour as well. The accompanying salad was delightfully light and delicious!!! I'm so looking forward to my next visit!!! Rootstock gets !!!!

I've been contemplating writing this review for 2 days; whether or not it would be worthwhile. I…read morefinally decided the warning of caution is something I should share. Monday night, mostly empty, but service was painfully slow. Friendly, but lagging. We ordered sparkling water with lime, and were told the lime was cut and coming shortly, but it never arrived. We had to ask for napkins and silverware after our appetizers arrived. And the sharable salad was brought without serving utensils. It was also the wrong salad. The pinsas were recommended, especially the funghi, which our server noted as a favorite. The description listed pistachios, but ours came without those. The wine was the highlight, which I suppose is expected at a wine bar. I remembered this place as being good the last few times I went, albeit several years ago. I don't think I will return after this disappointing experience. Especially given the place wasn't even busy. I didn't get any pictures, but trust me, it wouldn't change the tone of the review.

I found this hidden gem in Los Gatos, and I'm so glad I did! It was my first time here, and OMG,…read morethe food was SO good. First, the place itself is really cute. I loved the decor and the ambiance, it felt intimate, cozy, and almost like being somewhere in Türkiye or the Mediterranean. Such a nice atmosphere for dinner. We started with the tzatziki, and I could honestly have kept eating it all night. It was creamy from the Greek yogurt, fresh, slightly citrusy, and so flavorful. The bread that came with it was warm and crispy, and together they were the perfect combination. To share, we ordered the moussaka (vegetarian), and it was delicious. It was rich, creamy, comforting, and full of flavor. I really enjoyed the different textures and layers, definitely one of those dishes where you keep going back for another bite. We also tried the Incik (Lamb Shank), and this was another highlight. The lamb was incredibly tender and flavorful, with a delicious tomate based sauce on top. But what really surprised us was the keşkek underneath. At first, we couldn't figure out what it was, we were wondering if it was some kind of mashed potato , but it had this creamy, thick texture that paired SO well with the lamb. I had never tried keşkek before, and wow... absolutely worth trying! The food was definitely on point this night. Service was good, the atmosphere was beautiful, and everything felt authentic and made with care. We're definitely coming back because there are so many other dishes on the menu I want to try. Such a great find in Los Gatos!

Food 5/5 Service 4/5…read moreAmbiance 5/5 It was our anniversary, and my partner initially had planned dinner at an Italian restaurant but we suddenly didn't feel like Italian food on this day, no reservation, so no harm picking another place. I suggested we check out this place since it was on my list to try for a while now. Called and were able to get a reservation right away. The person on the phone were nice and mentioned they have a-little surprise for us for our anniversary. Upon arrival, we were seated right away. We started with some delicious cocktails and the Meze combo appetizer. Meze combo: 5/5 Cocktail drinks: 5/5 Seabass dish: 5/5 Grilled Lamb chops: 5/5 Dessert: Bread pudding w ice cream 5/5 This is one of the best Mediterranean food we've had so far. We would definitely be back, even though, we never gotten an acknowledgement for our anniversary celebration this year, we still enjoyed our time regardless.

All the stars aligned to make this a STELLAR experience. (heh heh)…read moreBeautiful, 75 degree weather on a Sunday afternoon. We came right before 5pm, before the kitchen opened so we ordered drinks while we waited. Husband was very impressed with their wine list, which is a good sign. He was excited to try different wines and it's awesome they offer half pours so he could try more. But oh-my-gosh. GET. THE. SANTORINI. I loved that drink. Milk punch, yoghurt ... it was so refreshing and milky. I felt like I was in south of France or in Hawaii, sitting on the patio with the slight breeze and plants around and quiet atmosphere. It was so yummy, I got a second. This is a big indication how good the drink is because 99% of the time I usually have my husband finish my drink and never order a second one...especially the SAME ONE. But omg, I need to go back to get another. I've been dreaming of it. Service was great. Esp since we were one of the only guests, they tended to us well. It can be easy to forget about the guests on the patio but their cadence in checking on us was good. Portion sizes for the food is quite generous. We're used to octopus dishes coming out really small as tapas, but they gave a lot. And I loved the fried kidney beans that came with it. I liked how the bluefin tuna crudo came in a light oil and not overly sauced or salty. Pork chop ... WOW. Huge portion, we were so impressed. Rich flavors, delicious. Boar pappardelle, daughter did her happy food dance so you know it's good. Al dente and great taste.

Nestled in mature trees with soft lights to guide you, we couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our friends. Wine and champagne were served. I highly recommend their Pinot Noir, both were excellent. The staff was very kind and attentive. We had beef short rib for dinner and it was delicious. The venue would make a perfect date night stop or backdrop for a exquisite event.

We love sitting at the front of the restaurant, near the windows, it's a perfect space for parties of two. Their food portions are a good size - no tiny amounts that some may expect for French food. We've had their escargot, goat cheese salad, beef bourguignon, duck cassoulet, duck confit, flap steak, tarte tatin and they are all absolutely delightful and just mouthwatering! It's not a place we'd be able to go often on a monthly basis as it's slightly on the pricey side and a bit inconvenient for us to drive to - but this place is known for quality and truly worth returning to. 100% THE best French restaurant that I'd ever been to in the SF Bay Area and I highly recommend this spot when you're in the mood for authentic French cuisine: you will not be disappointed.
