I have been to Dacha for a casual dinner with a friend, for a birthday dinner with my mom and her…read morepartner, for an intimate date with my wife, for a special event they held (Georgian Food prix fixe) and for a wedding celebration. Every single time I have felt so very warmly welcomed, nourished and taken care of. This is a unique experience in the San Francisco restaurant scene. Dacha means "summer home", it's a special family getaway and that is how coming to Dacha feels. The beautiful couple that owns the restaurant, Katya and Suki, have put their entire heart and soul into this space. It is welcoming to everyone, but has a special place in the hearts of the LGBTQ community. Do not hesitate to try this spot out. It's incredibly special.

I had been planning to visit Dacha for brunch for a long time, so I was really looking forward to…read morefinally coming here. Unfortunately, this time I left feeling like something was just missing. First of all, their steamer was broken, so the only coffee available was black coffee. Coffee is an essential part of breakfast for me, so that was disappointing. I feel like at a place that focuses on brunch and breakfast, it would be nice to have a good variety of coffee options and different kinds of milk. That said, I really enjoyed the syrniki! I especially liked the slightly brûléed, caramelized top -- it was a fun and unique idea, almost like crème brûlée. Unfortunately, the draniki didn't impress me at all. They were quite hard, especially around the edges, and not juicy at all. The buckwheat with meat also had very little flavor and felt like it was missing salt and seasoning. I honestly don't want to leave a bad review or give the place a low rating because I really like the concept of Dacha, the atmosphere, and the people behind it. I genuinely want to support what they are trying to create. But at the same time, I want my review to be honest, and unfortunately, my experience this time wasn't very positive. I truly wish the team lots of success and hope everything comes together for them. I would definitely like to come back and give Dacha another chance, because I really want to enjoy their food and experience the place the way I had imagined. Maybe we simply came on an off day.

We caught happy hour (which ends at 6:30 p.m.), enjoyed live music from a talented saxophone player until around 9:00 p.m., met a photographer selling beautiful, high-quality glass-encased photos, and were completely amazed by a magician performing unbelievable card tricks right at our table. What truly made the evening, though, was the staff. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely seemed to enjoy making guests feel special. That level of service elevated the entire experience. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, with elegant décor, gold accents throughout, beautiful brickwork, and spotless restrooms. Every detail felt thoughtfully designed and added to the upscale atmosphere. This is definitely on the pricier side, so I'd recommend taking a look at the menu beforehand if you're budget-conscious. That said, my steak was cooked to absolute perfection, and the quality matched the price. Overall, this would be a fantastic spot for a date night or a special occasion. I would absolutely come back. P.S: Hi V!!! My father Robert said he had a great time as well!!!

Really loved this place. I don't eat Austrian food very often, but everything we ordered was so…read morecomforting and good. We started with the Crispy Spring Roll, which was really good, but my favorite savory dish was the Chicken Paprikash with spätzle. The spätzle is kind of like Austrian mac and cheese/noodles and I loved it. So creamy and comforting, especially with the chicken. We also tried the Auberginen Lasagne, which is their eggplant lasagna. But honestly the desserts might be my favorite part here We tried the Salzburger Nockerl, Apfel Strudel, and Schoko Kuchen and I loved all three. The Salzburger Nockerl was super light and fluffy, the apple strudel with ice cream was so good, and the Schoko Kuchen was rich and chocolatey. I would come back just for dessert. Also tried the Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen, a German smoked beer. Definitely a unique one and fun to try. service is fantastic Really cozy place, great food, and definitely somewhere I'd come back to.

Everything was so good. I subbed the mixed vegetables for the potato salad and it was a variety of fresh, delicous veg. My weiner schnitzel and veg lasted about 4 meals for me-incredible serving sizes. We all shared the apple strudel and it is wonderful. The service is incredible-very attentive and helpful.

My only caveat is if you have tried German food and didn't like it, then don't bother. If you have never tried it, give this place a try. And if you love German food you probably have already been here, and if not, come try it out. They also have an excellent selection of southern German and Austrian beers! Score!

The goat cheese was so light and creamy and had a luxurious mouth feel against the crunch of the greens in the salad. Yum. And they def don't skimp on the cheese either. You def get the bang for your buck here. The French onion soup is made right just how it should be. It wasn't too watery or too thick either. Loved every bit of it. Maybe served with a tiny chunk of bread would have been nice, but that's just me. The staff was helpful, kind And most importantly happy. From the maitre'd to the table servers. Very cute cafe that def gives off the vibes of a typical French bistro. Well done and thank you!

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.
