    We had a great time here for a girls lunch. Service was fast and accommodating. We love the ambiance of the restaurant. They even have a bag stand for all the ladies. We enjoyed the coffee and food here.

    Such a cute brunch spot! I came here with a party of 3 on Sunday morning. We were seated after 10-15 minutes and the interior is so pretty! We ordered the Pandan Waffles and Fried Chicken, spring rolls, and Pho Banh Mi Dip. The pho was my favorite!! The portion was great and packed with a lot of flavor. The service was super quick and out server was nice. I would definitely come here again and try more dishes. So good!!

    I went here for Mother's Day brunch. I had reservation and so seating was almost immediate. They have a good variety of Pan-Asian brunch dishes. I ended up ordering their Pork Belly Fried Rice , Crab Burrito and side of Pancake with side of Fries. Pork Belly Fried Rice was absolutely delicious. The pork was perfectly cooked and crispy. I would definitely try this place again for the food. Though I didn't like the service that much. They were not very cordial.

    this is a vietnamese fusion brunch spot and as someone who is vietnamese, I LOVE THIS PLACE!! FOOD: delicious and unique pho poutine 10/10 - the pho flavor comes through SO well - i cant fathom a pho poutine tasting better than this RBF 10/10 - pandan waffles, fried chicken, ca phe sua da Syrup - such a genius combination..... i think about this dish very often and what i compare to whenever i try other chicken and waffle dishes Coconut coffee 9/10 Pork belly fried rice 7/10 - standard! nothing extraordinary but delicious :) Banh xeo tacos 6.5/10 - I personally wouldn't order this again. The idea is good in theory but I left wishing I got more out of it. I wish the shell resembled like a banh xeo more ube pancakes I only had a bite of this and WOW the ube flavor really comes through Service: - Very accommodating when it comes to seating. I've has a party / reservation for 10 people before - I love coming here for birthdays, they always give the birthday person a treat :) Ambiance: - Lovely decor and space - Every time I've come here, there's a DJ. I don't mind, but it's definitely not the typical brunch vibe you would expect as DJ can get loud.

    Pho poutine and viet coffee

    Went here again, they weren't too busy at 11am on a Saturday. Parking is definitely rough here, so account for that if you make a reservation. It's better to look at a lot than banking on street parking. I personally tried the pho poutine, fo sizzle, viet coffee, and banh xeo tacos. The pho poutine is honestly the only thing worth getting here. It is a very heavy dish so I would either share the dish amongst a few people or just get it as an entree. The fo sizzle was pretty good, but all the food here was definitely over priced. If I went here again I'd probably order the fo sizzle again. The banh xeo tacos are definitely impractical to eat. They fall apart so you just end up eating it crumbled up on your plate. The viet coffee was nice and strong but $8 is kind of insane for a coffee especially cause it feels like less than a normal cup of coffee. My friend ordered the pho banh mi dip and she definitely didn't like the dip. The pho broth, which I tried, was really bland. I personally wouldn't order it. Service was nice, they came by often to check on us and refill our water.

    Super beautiful interior with delicious coffee and food! The portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and the staff is incredibly friendly. It wasn't what I was expecting, but I was pleasantly surprised. My husband ordered the crab cake Benedict (not pictured) and gave it a 10/10. It is a little on the pricier side, and parking can be difficult to find, but we both thought it was absolutely worth it.

    We recently visited a modern fusion Vietnamese restaurant in Los Gatos for breakfast and brunch, which features a DJ. The place was bustling when we arrived, but fortunately, we had made a reservation a few days in advance. The interior is beautifully designed, resembling a Western restaurant rather than an Asian one. The restaurant offers full bar service, including cocktails, wine, and a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The menu is pleasantly concise. For appetizers, we chose the Banh Xeo Taco and Pho Poutine. For the main course, we ordered the Resting Brunch Face (RBF) and Crispy Pork Belly Fried Rice. We also tried the "Sleep When You're Dead" (Café Sua Da) and coconut coffee. The food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the Banh Xeo Taco and Crispy Pork Belly Fried Rice. The coffee was also excellent. While the prices are on the higher side given the portions, it's understandable given the Los Gatos location and the unique dining experience they aim to provide.

    Coconut Coffee
    Toby M.

    This place left us absolutely speechless. The best thing about a restaurant is when they offer dishes you can't find anywhere else, and this is one of those places. Starting off with atmosphere, the dining room is elegant when it comes to the look and even the gold trimmed furniture. There was also surprisingly a DJ playing the entire time (throwback R&B jams that fit the brunch vibe). RBF: subbed the coffee syrup for coconut syrup and it paired really well with the pandan waffle. The chicken are thighs compared to some places that will just use tenders and the breading tasted so flavorful. Pho poutine: what I meant by something you can't find anywhere else! It's definitely meant to be shared - super filling and such a unique dish. Banh mi pho dip: probably our least favorite as the meat is definitely chewy, but the broth was really good. We would come back for sure! There's so many dishes we want to try.. but I don't know if I would even want to get anything else with how good the above was already!

    Resting Brunch Face

    A heavily-hyped (by Tik Tok and Instagram influencers) brunch spot in downtown Los Gatos I was prepared to be bored by, yet surprisingly, despite all the flash, had decent food. I hate the ambiance. The DJ is too loud, tables are too tightly packed together, and everything about it screams Snapchat filters. Service was totally fine - though I never did figure out why they have robots on the side of the room. Parking is a nightmare. But the food: pretty good. The pandan waffle was well made, even though there are better options in East San Jose. The chicken that came with benefited from sauce. The tacos coated with shrimp had a nice distinct Vietnamese flavor. It's interesting fusion, especially for brunch, but it works despite all the glitz around it.

    Loco Moco
    Jonathan T.

    Food Noodle please ($17) + Prawn ($10) - It was fine but I'd skip it. It's like garlic noodles and kind of on the heavier side. Loco Moco ($24) - I'd order this one again. It's a beef patty with a sunny side up egg on a bed of rice with gravy. Tasty and the pickled onions help cut some of the fattiness. There was a lot on the menu that seemed intriguing but there was only so much I could order. Service It was fine. Got seated almost immediately and food came out at a reasonable time. Nothing over the top but also not neglected. Ambiance They have a burger bot which is fun to watch. It's a nicer up scale restaurant. It's heavily Vietnamese inspired infusion spot.

    such a unique asian fusion brunch place, especially with vietnamese dishes I've never thought i would see at a brunch spot! RBF 8/10 - this was their take on chicken and waffles. they made a pandan waffle (very viet) with a cafe su da (viet coffe) syrup, which i thought was super interesting, it actually tasted like a coffee thick syrup. the chicken was pretty big and juicy Vietnamese Coffee 7/10 - this was not bad, i like mine tasting like the classic vietnamese coffee, so if you want something more elevated and creamier, this is what they were going for Banh Xeo Tacos *discontinued* - these tacos were massive! and they loaded it up with the protein, it was more like 2 burritos. i actually enjoyed these alot since they grilled the protein, but it was a little hard to eat bar area is beautiful and they have live dj's here sometimes, which can get pretty loud and hard to talk, but love the ambiance and the decor here!

    Churro French toast
    Izzy T.

    ABSOLUTELY loved coming to this place, I actually came here two days in a row their interior and menu is so aesthetic also! First their pho poutine fries: what a fun unique combo of an appetizer that's both crispy and soft from the pho toppings. It's a LARGE plate too so you can definitely share this. Absolutely must have is the churro French toast, it's a Hawaiian sweet bun with a vanilla custard stuffed inside!! It comes with 4 pieces so it's the perfect little sweet treat to share. The loco moco was ok, only because I like my gravy a little more thick and this one was definitely thinner! RBF?! Amazing pandan waffle with three pieces of boneless chicken breast? Thigh? Either way deliciously crispy. It comes with a hazelnut syrup on the side and it all pairs wonderfully. Our server both days came to check in multiple times and the food comes out quickly! Definitely come check out the vibes! Sometimes they have a live DJ as well on weekends!

    Is the dj playing during the morning hours on the weekends?

    We have a DJ on Saturdays and Sundays from 10-3!

    I'm thinking of taking my family of 6 for dinner in Carmel, but I've been hearing so many good things about this place just not sure if you serve dinner, do you? It's for our 29th year anniversary. Thank you in advance for your reply!

    When is the live music?

    When I had lunch/brunch, there was a DJ playing music which is not LIVE music.

    Are kids under 21 allowed inside? Me and my girlfriends have babies and just needed a quick brunch with the moms but we got turned down by a couple of restaurants. apparently, anyone below the age of 21 are not allowed to some restaurant-bars.

    I have definitely seen kids in there, but I would get there by 10:30 to make sure you get a good table. They don't take reservations as far as I know

    Is there anyway we can make a reservation?

    At this point there is no reservation. It's first come first serve. I had 16 people and still have to wait.… Read more

    Are DJ daily or just on weekends?

    Do they take reservations? If so, do I just call?

    Not that I can tell, but you can always call ahead, especially if you're bringing a large party. I'm sure they'd appreciate the courtesy call.

On my most recent trip, our reservation unexpectedly grew by a few people, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. We really appreciated how hard they worked to make it happen! The cocktails are next level creative, delicious, and unlike anything you'll find at your average bar. My absolute favorite is the Bidi Bidi Bom Bom shot! And of course, we always order the caviar because... why not? The vibe here is everything. Whether it's girls' night, date night, or a celebration, there's always an amazing crowd. The DJ knows exactly how to read the room and keeps everyone singing along/ dancing with banger after banger. One night there was even a live saxophonist who absolutely stole the show, it made the whole experience feel so special!

No big deal, as I wanted the bar anyway, but something others should keep in mind. The cocktail list is plentiful and intriguing. I tend to avoid tequila, so that eliminated a good chunk of the options. I went with Rose Colored Lenses, which was fantastic, and decently sized. Presentation was beautiful. My friend had All a Dream, also very good. The wine offerings are minimal, this is very much a cocktail or champagne type of place, with caviar being the primary food service. Speaking of service, the bartender was excellent, both in his mixology and demeanor. It took awhile to get the drinks, but I assume that was due to the complexity of the cocktails, paired with having just opened the doors a few min earlier. Two notes: 1. The barstools were a little too low, imo. I don't normally pay much attention to that detail, but these were uncomfortably low for me, even with my long torso, I was hyper aware of my posture. So maybe that's actually a good thing 2. Other patrons were rolling in shortly behind me, so there is probably an early crowd when they first open, then a late night group that appreciates the 2am closing time. Interior is beautiful, and you can use the steps up to the 2nd floor either from N Santa Cruz or the rear parking lot off W Main. More substantial food options are a mere few steps across the hall at Heritage.

Love the creativity. - Fun glassware: for some they have great receptacles to go with the personality of the drink - Theatrical ones: those are the creme de le creme and so much fun. I've had them all. Faves of those: -- Dead men tell no tales: pirate themed comes in a chest you can open and the drinks are in diamond shaped glasses. But it's not just a fun show. The drink is amazing. A smooth, complex, clarified bunch. 5 stars -- Magic carpet one: when they had that it was one of my faves I'd order regularly. 5 stars -- Rinse and repeat: one of their classics which comes in a bathtub complete with foam and a rubber duckie. Refreshing and not sweet. 4.5 stars - New for the summer. Tried a few -- Bear necessities: little honey bear with cantaloupe, white miso, and sauvignon blanc. Quite delicious and summery. 4.5 -- Open container: artsy clear version of a paper bag. Interesting ingredient mix with Havana club rum, fermented pineapple, almond milk, and others. Little bit sweet. 4 stars - Their now more standard drinks are still some of the ones I still rely one.

Some of my go tos -- Crab toasts: 4 little pieces of lovely toast with a dollop of avocado mousse and a heap of dungenous crab topped with lemon beurre blanc. My fave snack I always have to get. 5+ stars -- Grilled cheese: wonderful combo of white cheddar, monterey jack, and provolone with a bit of truffle flavor--not too much--on a nice fluffy roll. Served with soup to dip it in--often times a nice tomato. 4.75 stars -- French dip: solid version on the same type of roll. 4.5 stars - Can make reservations now online which makes it a lot more convenient - Wines: have a fabulous wine by the glass list but I can't ever pull myself away from the cocktails - Bourbon/whiskey: have a stellar collection and knowledgeable staff to tell you about them (but again never get to it) - Staff: friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable - Atmosphere: relaxed yet fun Midlights: - They used to have a nice nut mix I enjoyed but not on the menu anymore Lowlights: - Books up for the holidays so grab those reservations when you can

Cooked perfectly: soft on the inside with a nice crispy outside. - fried chicken sandwich: it was supposed to come with Dutch crunch but it didn't- sad. Also the breading was not very crispy or flavorful. The fries were the best part of this meal. The fries were the right balance of crispy and soft. The potatoes saved the meal. Wouldn't come back but it was to try it.

    Came here for dinner on a Friday night, made reservations the day before and options were fairly…read morelimited. We had made the reservation for a hightop since that's all that was available inside, but to our delight we were seated at an actual table when we arrived. Two of us ordered a variety of apps and one main to share. We started with the beef tartare, cabbage, oysters, and beet crostini, then got the duck pappardelle ragu. To drink we each ordered two different cocktails. I loved the pasta, both of my martinis, and the cabbage. My boyfriend pointed out that the cabbage didn't taste a lot like miso or chili oil, which is what he was excited for, but this was still one of my favorite dishes. The ragu didn't have a ton of meat, but it was still so good, I would without a doubt order it again. The oysters were also good, but at $4 a pop, I'll enjoy those on a Wednesday when they have them on special for half the price. The beef tartare wasn't super oniony, which I did like, but the meat pieces were a little bigger than I'd expect and it just felt like it was missing something. The beet crostini was good, but it felt a little pricey for what it was and I would skip it next time. Service was fine, it felt like they were understaffed and could have definitely benefited from having another person or two on the floor.

    After the change in ownership, the restaurant unfortunately feels like it has lost some of what…read moreonce made it special. To be fair, we visited for Mother's Day lunch, so the menu was understandably more limited than usual. Still, the overall experience felt much more casual compared to when I used to come here 12 or so years ago, when it had a more elevated and refined atmosphere. The service staff seemed fairly inexperienced, the interior decor now feels a bit dark and dated, and the food portions were surprisingly small. The food itself was good overall, but the limited selection was disappointing and left us wanting more variety. I may give their dinner service another try sometime down the road, but for now, I probably won't be returning anytime soon.

    Great place to stop whether you're walking through the area or stuck in traffic. They offer beers,…read morewine, and a refreshing Frosé (frozen rosé slushy). All the drinks pair well with the wide range of food options on their extensive menu. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outside, plus several TVs throughout for watching sports. I ordered the Hop Holistics, a fresh, fruity Hazy IPA with a low 5.6% ABV, making it easy to enjoy more than one. I also tried the Alpha Dog West Coast IPA, which has a higher ABV and was another tasty choice, especially with my burger. I went with the smashburger and fries, and it was fantastic. Packed with flavor from the Memphis‑style BBQ sauce, avocado, and pickled red onions on a brioche bun. We were sharing it, and they even split it onto two plates for us -- a small touch we really appreciated. Only complaint was the bartender was NOT friendly at all. We felt like we were making him work. Definitely need to get someone that wants to work and not that guy! Despite this, we'll definitely be back to try more of the menu and enjoy another brew.

    Am genuinely surprised by the hype for this place and disappointed that we didn't enjoy as much as…read morewe thought we would. We were driving to Santa Cruz on Memorial Day and it was such jam packed crazy peak traffic taking hours to move a mile, we decided to detour and take exit to Los Gatos. Now I've been to this cute rich neighbourhood city couple of times and enjoyed a lot. We parked at nearby garage. It was so damn now so loved the outdoor seating concept with play area for kids. My son loved running around here! Beer flight was decent, I didn't like any of the 4 beers given. We had pesto chicken sandwiche. It was not warm and tasted very normal Fried were cold and not seasoned well too. But it's great for outdoor seating and chilling with friends and family Self service , but good and drinks were super quick to arrive.
