This is located in a strip mall with a lot of restaurants, a sprouts, and a trader joes. You're never going to have trouble finding parking. I had the blackened catfish po boy and my partner had the pan roast. I really liked my sandwich and the fries were nice too. My partner helped me eat half the sandwich, the portions are huge! The pan roast tasted good, I liked the spices, very flavorful. It was however a little too spicy for my partner. The staff let us know that this batch was a little spicier than most batches. I thought the spice level was fine though. I think they kept a lot of the interior from the restaurant that came before them. A little sad that they're gone now though.

I am beyond disappointed with my experience ordering from California Fresh Grill. I placed an order…read morethrough Uber Eats, paid full price for my food, and received less than half of what I actually paid for. Instead of taking accountability for sending out an incomplete meal, they hid behind the food delivery app, refusing to issue a proper refund or make it right. They are deliberately taking advantage of delivery customers knowing it's harder to resolve issues after the order leaves their doors. It is utterly dishonest to charge hard-earned money for a full meal and send half an order. Shame on this establishment for scamming paying customers and refusing to take responsibility for their own mistakes. I will never spend another dime here, and I strongly advise everyone else to avoid them. Save your money and order from a business that actually respects its customers.

Note, when most people think Los Gatos, they think downtown, however this restaurant is on the edge of Los Gatos/San Jose. But don't let that deter you, the interior of the restaurant felt trendy and on par. Since this was our first time here and we're not too familiar with Eastern European dishes, we opted for the chef's menu and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing and the presentation was even better. Everything felt very fresh. The egg and the macaron bites are so unique, I would definitely recommend giving them a try. Service was impeccable, I don't think our water glasses ever got even halfway empty before they were refilled. Our server explained the menu and food/wine extremely well. With 10 items on the chef's menu, the portions were perfect. I actually appreciate a menu with more items and smaller portions, allowing you to taste more without feeling too full to eat the last few dishes. One of us has a tree nut allergy and they were able to accommodate them with no problems at all. Something to note, the chef's menu was pretty seafood heavy, which I love, but it might not be for everyone. I did overhear the table next to us sing praises of the short rib, so I will definitely be back to give that a try!

We've been to Lily Cafe many times and always love it, so we were excited to try Lily's Kitchen for…read morethe first time. The space is beautiful -- very stylish, modern, and thoughtfully decorated. The moment you walk in, it feels like you've stepped into a completely different world. The ambiance is really special. The food was excellent overall and definitely had that European/French influence they describe. One of our favorite dishes was the mushroom and potato pancake-style dish, which was rich, comforting, and delicious. We also had the chicken liver, which came with warm toasted madeleines, and the combination of sweet and savory was surprisingly wonderful. We also ordered the pork and the squid ink scallops, and both were very good. The one dish we did not enjoy was the oysters. They came with a tomato-flavored shaved ice/granita topping that was so cold it actually made our mouths hurt, and we could barely taste the oysters underneath it. That one was not for us. Our server was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the dishes, but I do think there was too much upselling. We had already ordered several starters and told him we wanted to wait before deciding how many entrées to order. He strongly encouraged us to order two entrées right away because he felt we would still be hungry. We followed his recommendation, but by the time we finished the earlier courses, we were completely full and ended up taking most of the entrées home. I think when customers say they would prefer to start with a few dishes and order more later, that choice should be respected. We could always have ordered additional food, whereas in this case we ended up overspending, taking food home, and having no room for dessert. That said, we still had a wonderful evening and really enjoyed the restaurant. The food is creative, the atmosphere is beautiful, and it feels like a great place for a special occasion. It is definitely on the pricier side -- our dinner for two with two drinks, several starters, and two entrées came to just over $200. Overall, I'd give it about an 8/10 and would definitely return, especially for a special night out.

The place is fairly simple and straightforward as far as decor/furnishings and the lunch special menu could be from any random Thai restaurant. But service is very laid back and friendly, and the food is authentic and tastes great. My wife has the pad see ew and loved it, and I samples some and it was really really good. Not too salty, but flavorful. Big portion and good amount of protein. I had the mango curry chicken and while I love mango and curry, the way they'd theoretically combine in my head slightly exceeded reality. But it was still very good and satisfying and any shortfall I think was more just my personal perception of how mango and curry went together rather than falling short of the execution on the restaurant's side. I'd probably order a more traditional red, green, yellow, or Mussaman curry next time. It's a little out of the way from where we'd normally go, but it's well worth taking a little detour to get here as the food is quite good. One of our new favorite Thai places.

Thai Soul Kitchen wouldn't take a reservation for two, but I was told I'd be added to the waitlist…read more Luckily, when we arrived Tuesday evening for dinner, there was a table for two available with no wait. The seating is very cramped. We were right by the door and felt like we were in the way of other tables around us. Greg, the owner/server was very attentive to all the tables, but gave off a somewhat frantic demeanor as he rushed around. The place was busy, so i understood and appreciated the hustle. The food was phenomenal. We ordered the mussels in curry sauce for an appetizer. Unfortunately, it arrived after our entrees, but all of the food came out pretty fast, so it wasn't too big of a deal. We ordered the pad kee mao with chicken, my go to, at a level "hot" (they do mild, medium, hot, or Thai hot). I was pleased that hot really means hot - they don't skimp on spice here. We also had the beef pad phed, also hot, with jasmine rice for an extra $3. The portion sizes were quite generous; enough for leftovers. I had a glass of cabernet, which was a very nice big pour for only $12. They seem to have a pretty good takeout business, as we saw a few people do pickups in during our hour+ long visit. I loved the food so much that TSK will be a solid addition to our takeout list (they're on DoorDash too).

Great service, relaxed atmosphere, and a nice spot for a casual meeting. I'd definitely come back.

A New Favorite Local Gem: Exceptional Service, Scratch Kitchen Magic…read more We visited Shepherd & Sims for the first time yesterday for happy hour, and it exceeded our expectations from the moment we walked in. The host greeted us warmly, and that friendly, upbeat energy carried through the entire team. The space itself is gorgeous, featuring spacious indoor and patio seating, as well as an incredible full-bar display complete with a rolling library ladder. Our server, Kai, provided top-tier service. He gave us a wonderful breakdown of the menu, highlighting how the executive chef crafts everything in-house--from the blue corn tortillas and slider buns to the potato chips and onion dip. My husband had the ahi tuna tostada and a selection of daily oysters, both of which he absolutely devoured. I ordered the "Only Burger" slider, and after a little push from my husband and Kai (who accurately described the "awesome sauce" as an upgraded In-N-Out spread), I kept the sauce on--and I'm so glad I did! The slider was flawless in both size and flavor. Paired with those ultra-crispy, perfectly salted homemade chips and dip, we left completely satisfied. We will without a doubt be returning again and again--and bringing friends next time!

We usually sat in their lovely covered outdoor patio, but this time we decided to sit at one of the high tables in the bar area inside. Their modern and upscale interior looked very welcoming. Service was friendly. Instead of my usual Sip n' Slurp Combo, I decided to try their Taco 'Bout a Lady Combo. It came with a glass of sauvignon blanc and a beer battered fish taco with cabbage slaw, avocado tomatillo salsa, creama and cilantro on top. The fish was piping hot and its size was decent. Every bite was delish. My husband enjoyed his go-to Combo: One-Hitter Quitter, which included a smash burger, a shot of whiskey and a beer. He added fried as well. I had some of his fries, and they're hot, crispy on the outside and well-seasoned. We also shared an order of Mushroom Cigars, which had 3 "cigars" with different types of mushrooms wrapped in phyllo dough and a side of sundried tomato tappenade. We liked this dish a lot as we both loved mushrooms. Another delicious and satisfying meal without breaking the bank. Until next time!

They give you five or six large, pillow-soft raviolis stuffed with lobster in a creamy vodka sauce that also has chunks of lobster and a few halved cherry tomatoes in it.

I'm not sure if I've ever had lobster ravioli before, but I'm definitely a fan.

My husband got the fish and chips and the portion was massive, definitely enough to fill you up. I went with the clam chowder in a bread bowl, and it was delicious.

Great spot if you're in the mood for solid seafood in Willow Glen.

The lighting is perfect and they have small lamps at the table for those who may need a little more light to see their menus. Service is great. Walking in, on the left, is a small table/counter where they check you in if you've made a reservation (or not). This is my second time here and I have to say, service is consistent. They're attentive and will check in a good amount of times without being invasive to your dinner. The first time I was here, my friend ordered the lasagna and absolutely loved it. I had the pasta with truffles and pesto and I loved it so much I ordered it again. I will order something by else next time! I was apparently influential and everyone at my table ordered the same lol My friends also ordered the pear and bursts salad and we shared the bruschetta both of which we really enjoyed. I was also very happy that they had Hugo Spritz (Aperol is not my thing)! It was a wonderful place to spend dinner with friends. Can't wait to come back and share with my family!

The ambiance of the inside looked as beautiful but not as the outside.... Food is decent but comparing it to the quality of a homey cozy comforting meal in North Beach SF... this doesn't hold a candle unfortunately; food was just OK nothing super revolutionary that you can get anywhere else. Service sounded soo wonderful but not to certain tables that were waiting outside. A waiter sings happy birthday beautifully to some tables but not attentive to ours, Infact without any server checking in our table while waiting for nearly 40 minutes for a steak & caccio e Pepe's, it's like they had to go farming for food on the table. After raising concerns to a waiter, one of them whispered into a chain reaction of others to give us an update... ultimately could've just apologized or just been an honest forgotten table? Who knows. You'll definitely be treated more nicely based on your attire and appearance, emphasis on that... in 2026 The star of the dinner was just the burrata plate. Not super stunning but the flavors were there. I ordered the steak which was a daily special, beautifully seasoned and charred to perfection, the steak cut fries with the weird green mint parsley concoction? Not so much. Not pictured was the Cacio e Pepe. Overly sauced like it was Alfredo. The cheese wheel part was fun but all gimmicks. Ultimately I'd love to give places another try because it's usually an off day sometimes but there was definitely just more attentive and care for other parties that just made me not want to come back.

Let love blossom cocktail: lovee this drink, I would even be down to drink the non alcoholic version of this. The drink has ginger and citrus flavors, super refreshing and light and you don't taste the alcohol at all. *forgot what drink* - the red drink next to my cocktail wasn't bad, but wouldn't order this again. Appetizers: Mini lobster roll - I loved these! They're fun to eat, the bread rolls were soft and buttery and they give you a good amount of lobster meat. I love that they give you lobster bisque in little cups. Truffle fries - loved these fries, devoured the entire plate. Could use more truffle, but they were still amazing. Ribeye steak: the steak was cooked to perfection, perfect medium rare and super juicy inside! Very tasty too. Salmon with potato puree and broccolini: the salmon was cooked to perfection, I never order salmon at fancy restaurants but the cook on this salmon exceeded my expectations. It melts in your mouth! The flavors were just okay though (for me.) Service is great, all of the servers are so friendly and welcoming! You also get a free birthday dessert - their delicious bread pudding (huge slice & great for sharing!)
