    Arugula salad with anchovies
    Gerald L.

    Oak & Rye is right on Santa Cruz Avenue in downtown Los Gatos, and reservations are highly recommended. We went on a chilly December evening. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The heat lamps work well enough to be comfortable. Inside, there is a mix of regular and bar height tables, which gives it a lively feel. The arugula salad was a highlight, especially if you like whole anchovies. The tomato soup was a bit acidic, but the garlic bread with it was excellent. Wings were average, and the chili sweet sauce was the only one that stood out. The pizzas were pretty good. They are wood fired, with puffy crusts and a slight char, if you like that style. Service was slow and a bit scattered. Our server tried to be funny, but the focus was not there. At one point, we had already paid and were brought the check again, which was confusing. Took forever to get boxes and finally went in to get them myself. Good pizza, but the service needs work.

    You can't spell "ok" without Oak. First, I was seated in a corner of a wall, in an uncomfortable hot room, just two small pizzas away from loud, coughing children and their oblivious parents. Considering the other two tables had unnecessarily loud kids and clueless parents, and bad echoing acoustics of the room, it felt more like a Chuck E. Cheese. Whether it's the 6:00 hour or the ineffective Los Gatos parents, I'm not sure. If I went back I'd have to insist on sitting at the bar, in the patio, or after a minor lobotomy. After enjoying some refreshingly warm, room temperature water and a $4 can of Diet Coke, we had a soft pretzel, that was too soft. Like "did the oven break?" soft. Like right after a cold shower soft. Then we had some arancini. They were so flavorless we had to ask for salt and pepper here. Salt salt salt salt salt and pepper here. The lemony fried potatoes with black pepper and dill (and a watery ranch they call smoked creme fraiche) were awesome. Someone who loves food and people created that recipe. I don't think they work there anymore. If they do, I hope they don't get fired for secretly making something tasty behind the executive chef's back. After the potatoes I was thinking "now they're cookin' with gas" but the barely cooked pizzas came out and then I thought maybe they're cookin' with lighters. The margarita pizza is named that because you will need to down two margaritas after wasting your money on bland, flimsy, truly disappointing sauce-dough. The Jack Burton pizza with arugula was fine. But if you don't know underdressed salad and undercooked pizza, you don't know Jack. At least service is good and fast and the toilet faces an 80s TV playing videos. The TV had a big number three on it, which is weird, but thank God it wasn't a number two.

    Panna cotta

    Had a great experience at Oak & Rye - this place is perfect for a date night. The food is consistently excellent, especially their pasta. The gnocchi is honestly one of the best I've had across the Bay Area - perfectly cooked, rich, and super satisfying. Their pizzas are just as impressive: well-cooked, flavorful, and made with great ingredients. Dessert panna cotta was a great way to end the meal. What really stands out is the service. The staff is incredibly kind and accommodating. I once called in because I was running late for my reservation, and they happily adjusted it by 15 minutes without any hassle. They're always courteous and go out of their way to make your experience great, including accommodating small customizations to suit your preferences. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a place you'll want to come back to again and again. On top of that, the pricing feels very reasonable for the quality of food and service you get. Overall, it's a must-visit spot in Los Gatos--highly recommended!

    Fried potatoes
    Astha A.

    Love the ambiance of this place. We took the patio seating and it was perfect on a hot summer day. The servers are attentive and they take care of you. We tried their fried potatoes, hot wings and goomba pizza. The portion size for the fried potatoes was big but the food itself was not quite upto expectations. The hot wings was delicious with the variety of dipping sauce. We loved the goomba pizza, minimum ingredients but wonderful taste with everything coming together.

    I came here to use my resy credit through Amex and didn't exactly love the experience. While it wasn't horrible, it also wasn't the best. We got a few drinks, their best selling apps and their pasta to share. The drinks were decent, but transparently I was most disappointed by their lack of flavor within their food and their service. There have been several reviews commenting on the service before, I was hoping it had changed since it had been some time, but unfortunately it hasn't. I don't think I'd come back. Was quite sad because of all the great reviews. Hopefully it was just a one off

    My husband and I came for a dinner reservation at 5 PM on a Monday night and I was shocked to see that there was already a line outside before they had even opened. We were the only party there that had reservations and got to sit in the "upstairs" dining room but was on the edge and my poor husband had to sit right next to the stairs where everyone would be able to see him from the entry way. There's outdoor seating available and it looked like a fair amount of groups had opted for that based off of the fact that nearly all the outside tables were taken when we left (calling this out b/c it was 45 degrees out and heat lamps only provide so much warmth). I do like the fact that their pizzas are light and that they actually slice the pieces well to make it easy to tear. I kind of just wished they would leave the condiments on the table rather than you needing to ask for them. We ordered: Pretzel: 2/5, it was a bit thin and too soft for my liking but the beer cheese was good Shaved brussels sprouts: 3/5, interesting flavor but personally I thought it was too much cheese because I wasn't able to taste any of the lemon vinaigrette The Jerk: 4/5, good flavor and unique Truffle Shuffle: 2/5, I was so sad because this is the one I was looking forward to the most. It smelled amazing but tasted like nothing ~~Parking: The restaurant is located in the Los Gatos downtown area so there's an okay amount of street parking and there's a few public parking lots available as well. Parking can be difficult depending on the time you come. ~~Service: Good. I'm not one who likes dark dining and asked to have the lights turned on b/c they were just off with only a candle for light. Towards the end of our meal the overhead lightbulbs seemed to be finicky and kept turning off and on. I noticed the table that was next to us was asked if they wanted anything with their pizza upon delivery but we had to ask for crushed red peppers. ~~Return: Possibly, to try other items on the menu.

    Oak & Rye has shaded seating outdoors, and indoor seating (with the AC set to a perfect temp on the inside. The servers are nice and respect your time to think before you order. We sat at a table in the bar side of the restaurant, the music playing IMO was great and it is loud enough to here but not loud enough where you could not have a conversation (perfect) I ordered the Loverboy Pie (comes with crushed tomato, mozzarella, pecorino, double sausage, pepperoncini, garlic oregano, and basil (I added pineapple. wifey ordered the Gnocchi, made in house comes with Kale, butternut squash, basil pesto, parmigiano, garlic, and chili flakes. (added Sausge) and for dessert we both ordered the chocolate mousse. The Pie crust was very soft, not crispy but that does not mean bad, just different. unfortunately the dough was a little chewy (maybe a little high in gluten?) and the pizza tasted like a Totinon's frozen sausage pizza, again...not necessarily bad but I expected a lot more (I did pick up on the flavor of Oregano) but still I felt it was lacking. The Gnocchi were soft and creamy and the sauce was spot on, (this is a very good dish) The chocolate Mousse is the bomb! they use a lot of semi sweet chocolate with whipped cream? and almonds on top. This is a must to satisfy any sweet tooth.

    Chicken wings
    Matt V.

    If I could give Oak & Rye extra stars for vibes alone, I would. This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Los Gatos. The interior has that old world, warm, slightly rustic feel that immediately makes you want to settle in. Add genuinely great customer service and a prime location and it already feels like home before the food even hits the table. Now the food. I am a huge soft pretzel fan and that is what brought me here in the first place. The pretzel absolutely delivers. Crispy on the bottom, chewy inside, almost reminds me of Korean salt bread. It is dangerously good. If I am being picky, and I am, it could use just a touch more butter to be perfect, but I still think about it regularly. The pizza is where things get serious. The pizza with their hot chili and honey is unreal. It honestly reminded me of Pizza 4P's in Asia, which is a very high bar. I am officially an elitist when it comes to pizza now and I am not sorry about it. The crust, the balance, the flavor, it is all there. Fantastic is not an exaggeration. My only wish is that they leaned even harder into creative cheese options. I would love to see a five cheese situation with brie, camembert, truffle oil, or even a charcuterie option for apps. Putting that out into the universe. The tap beer was excellent and the recommendation from our waiter was spot on. Love when the staff actually knows what they are talking about. This place is especially lovely on weekends but do yourself a favor and reserve on Resy because everyone else has figured it out too. Oak and Rye just gets it.

    Coach Goni
    Sarah S.

    Man this was a bummer with one shining exception- the gnocchi. Oh my gosh the gnocchi. It was so flavorful and delicious- fat, acid, salt, heat- it had it all- perfection in a bowl. Then there was a really nice and helpful server, and the decor was very hip and modern and cool. But unfortunately, this is where the good notes stop. The coach Goni pizza was bland and the buttermilk ranch was anything but. It tasted like watered down cream- no ranch flavor. The potatoes had no real flavor either- they tasted just like cooked potatoes- no seasoning, nothing special. Our kids were with us and they also liked none of it, so then we had cranky kids on top of not great food. But the worst, by far, was the shaved Brussel sprouts salad. It was so so so bad. It tasted like raw shaved Brussel sprouts tossed with maybe a sprinkle of lemon juice and topped with a little bit of Parmesan cheese. It was incredibly bitter and dry and it was so bad. We ate some because we paid for it and because it was "healthy" but we couldn't stomach much. We asked for balsamic, ranch, anything we could to help make it palatable. And to wash it down, well, they had warm water. I know this is authentic to Europe to not use ice but we're not in Europe. We need ice! They brought some upon request but it took some time to get. I would not go back but that gnocchi could convince me otherwise- it was so so good!!

    Dont understand the bad ratings! We went on Monday evening and it was hopping almost to full capacity. Husband and I ordered cocktails and 2 pizzas-the margarita and the goomba. Loved the charred edges on the crust and the pizza was amazing! Best eaten hot. Cocktails were good too though on the smaller side. Service was friendly and we will definitely go back! Total was $100 with tax and tip for 2 codktails and 2 pizzas.

    Mushroom
    Amber L.

    We came here on a Wednesday night at 5pm with reservations. No issues getting in. Getting a table. Started with the mushrooms, unique flavorful and amazing. Then we went to risotto balls which were perfect in texture with crunch and softness with a ripe tomato sauce that was so subtle but nice. Then we went to the Scotty to hotty. Was delightful. Service was attentive and timely. I will be back.

    Konami Code Pizza
    Chinmay S.

    Picked up a couple of pizzas from Oak & Rye for a nice afternoon picnic at the Vasona Lake Park this weekend. My friends also joined and ordered their pizzas and a couple of the Brussels Sprouts Salad. Everyone enjoyed their orders. Both the Margherita and the Konami Code pizzas that we tried were great. The pizzas were a little soft, but that's likely because we had them after almost 30-40 mins. Better soft than tough/chewy TBH. Pro-tip: get their hot chili oil - it gives just the right amount of kick to the pizzas. The service was quick, and they also gave us some plates to go when we said we were doing a picnic in the park - that was really nice of them. Looks like they have some good rye-based cocktails. I'll keep that for next time. Definitely recommend!

    Ramen special this month
    Moe R.

    I've started having dishes other than pizza here. Oak and Rye calls itself a pizza place but it's so much more. Elevated dishes reflect fine dining in a casual place with an energizing vibe. Yesterday was ramen day (yes, ramen, with a tonkatsu broth that honored the pork. I also had the gnocchi with jerk chicken, a staff favorite that is now a favorite of mine, too. Stellar service from genuinely happy people. And did I mention the food? And, yes, I still think the pizza is the best in the Bay Area.

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!

I was able to make a last minute reservation without having to commit to a deposit, which was a breath of fresh air these days. After our great experience I regret not trying the restaurant sooner, but hey, better late than never. I made reservations for 5pm on a Friday. There was ample parking at the private lot since it was still early. ASA had a pretty interior with a relaxed upscale atmosphere. Overall customer experience was exemplary. Employees were very friendly and courteous, and the wait staff was especially attentive. Also appreciated that our food came out in a timely manner. We shared the king trumpet mushroom appetizer, arrabiata pasta, and the Argentine steak, which was the perfect amount of food. Everything was incredibly flavorful and delicious. The appetizer surprised me the most with its uniqueness. The mushroom stems were cut paper thin and had the slightest essence of smokiness. Loved the chickpea puree. The Argentine steak was perfectly medium rare, and the meat itself was so tender. The fries were excellent. The fries were made the way I love them - light, airy, and crispy. Addictive and hard to resist. Lastly, the arrabiata pasta was solid. I did think the pasta was cooked 30 seconds too long, but the sauce really made up for the dish. The arbol chili and fresh garlic packed on some heat. We look forward to coming back for the steak and to try the mushroom rigatoni that everyone raves about!

Entrees were very good. Two of us had the exotic mushroom pasta, and it was outstanding. Al dente pasta, rich sauce, and plenty of mushrooms. Two of us had the halibut special with white wine risotto and red pepper coulis. The risotto was impeccable and the coulis sharp and creamy. Sadly the fish was overcooked for both of us. We would have sent it back, but no one checked to see how we were enjoying the entrees. The Argentinian steak and chimichurri was quite good. The two desserts we tried (panna cotta and cheesecake) were satisfying, but portions a bit small. Wine list was well-curated and cocktails all delicious. Overall, a lovely dinner.

I ordered the halibut for dinner and they substituted for cod and charged me for a salmon...They were also already out of the short rib and one other entree on a Saturday early dinner service around 5 pm. Not sure what is going on here that they are running out of proteins so early in the weekend. The food for brunch and dinner are both good, a little pricey. We started with the deviled eggs. I ordered the halibut that was substituted with a cod served over forbidden rice and a side of broccoli. The fish was cooked well and the vegetables were also cooked perfectly, very buttery and delicious. My husband ordered the scallop risotto that was also cooked perfectly. Comes with three hefty scallops. Risotto was also a perfect cook. Come back for the atmosphere, maybe grab a nice latte or coffee beverage, but not sure we'll be back for a substantial meal.

I highly recommend, just know that it is a bit pricey but the experience is totally worth it. P.S. they give you palate cleaners snack in between courses for free. I had hibiscus herbal tea and and an adorable mini waffle cone, filled with crème fraîche, and topped with caviar (honestly never thought I'd like caviar before trying out this place for the first time).

    Cocktail Drinks - poor presentation and tooooo sweet.

We visited today 9.12.26 at the bar before having dinner. My husband had aged dry steak and i had chesse burger. Over cooked. We were dinning with friends and family didnt make any fuss. We are disappointed. Thank God we brought 2 bottles of wine from Chateu Montellena. Corkage $35 per 750ml bottle. Maximum of 2 bottles. And we have 7 adults drinking. I guess they want us to utilize their bar. There are more better and nice place that's worth the price of this restaurant.

    Wow! Everything was so good here and the service was amazing too. The owner took the time to…read moreexplain to us the inspiration behind the dishes and that really made the restaurant super inviting. We started with the crab crostini and the Brussels sprouts. The crab was very fresh and each crostini had a large portion of crab on top. The Brussels sprouts were very crispy and very umami with the cheese and bacon combination mixed in. The empanada was honestly a showstopper. I don't know how to describe it other than you have to try it. Both pastas were good but I prefer the mushroom one over the short rib ragu. The halibut was also good, and the basil sauce made it even better. I was already super impressed with everything but I think the stars were the 2 desserts. The Dubai cheesecake was an Italian style cheesecake, so it was a lot lighter than I was expecting (which was welcomed) and captured the essence of Dubai chocolate without being too overwhelming. The Lira in Wonderland was also SO good. It had a crown of cotton candy and was a mix of biscoff cookies, dehydrated red velvet cake (don't knock it till you try it), butterscotch sauce, and strawberries. I was honestly blown away by this meal.

    I had high hopes for this upscale Mediterranean spot in downtown Campbell. Lots of hype, but the…read morefood was average and service was all over the place. I thought some dishes were great; the wagyu burger was decadent. Other dishes were not that special. The scallops didn't taste too fresh (likely frozen) and combining them with hummus didn't quite work. The side of bread was practically insulting. $5 for stale table bread was a surprise. Dishes arrived very late; we were nearly forgotten when we tried to order, and then after ordering, we waited 40 minutes between appetizers and the main course. Not because they were cooking it; they just forgot we were there and when they brought out the dishes, the scallops were no longer just-cooked, and the burger had been sitting for a bit. No apology, just an acknowledgment it was late, and no discount (not even on the stale bread). They offered us wine, we said we didn't drink, and they just moved on. I debated a lot about how to review this. It's my personal experience that was disappointing, and I'm glad some reviews are very upbeat. But there's a handful of reviews noting frustrating delays... and that needs to be worked on.

    We've had this place on our list for a few years and only just checked it out this summer. This was…read morean overwhelmingly good experience, and the vibes were really great. Definitely an upscale elevated version of a family restaurant, including the warm hospitality and generous portion sizes. The decor and size of the restaurant were awesome too, and great for all sorts of celebrations. Large comfortable waiting area as well. Everyone from the host, to server, runners, and bussers provided exceptional hospitality and service. Food was well balanced and flavorful, with good plating Steak and sides were decadent and tender and flavorful in all the ways you want steak and carbs to be. The Brussels salad ended up being a sleeper hit and great palette cleanser throughout the meal. Cauliflower was lowkey S tier, crispy, saucy but still light. Cookies and cream did the final KO into the food coma on the way home. Drinks were well crafted as well. Overall, instant hit for us

    Took two of my friends here to celebrate their 30th birthdays and the vibes were immaculate!…read moreBlossom & Bourbon is such a beautiful restaurant, and it was surprisingly busy for a Wednesday night. One thing to note is that they don't accept reservations for smaller parties, so if you're coming with a small group, I'd definitely recommend getting there early because it can get busy. There were three of us and we ordered the lobster rolls, house dip trio and chips, spicy honey pizza, truffle fries, and diavolo pasta. We definitely ordered a lot, but honestly, I'm glad we did because everything was so good! The lobster rolls came three to an order, which was perfect for the three of us. They also came with a side of soup and were absolutely delicious. The house dip trio and chips were also SO good. It came with guacamole, a corn dip, and another dip that I can't remember the name of, but all three were delicious and we definitely cleaned those up. The spicy honey pizza was really good, but the truffle fries were probably my favorite. They were skinny fries with LOTS of truffle flavor, which I absolutely love. The portion was huge too, so we kept snacking on them throughout our entire meal. Last but not least, the diavolo pasta was perfectly cooked and super flavorful. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor, and with three girls sharing five dishes, there was definitely more than enough food. We actually ended up taking quite a bit home! Overall, we had such a great time here. Between the beautiful atmosphere, great food, and fun birthday vibes, I can definitely see myself coming back here for another celebration!

    Me and my wife dined for dinner last Friday and we had such a great time. First off, the restaurant…read moreis cozy and reminds me of a home in the middle of the woods which is beautiful of course. We sat outside and enjoyed over a few cocktails, sushi bites, Fork & Knife Caesar, and their 16oz Bone-in Ribeye. Everything was perfect. I'd like to specifically thank Gabriela for doing such a great job with her customer service and treating us like such important guests. She's attentive and also knowledgeable about the menu. We loved their steak! This is one of the best rib-eye steaks I've had up to date. I can taste the grill and also the texture is tender and buttery. Heads up, they don't have steak sauce because they don't need it!! The steak is perfect on its own literally. I recommend changing their scalloped potatoes for mashed potatoes instead. I paired this with their Hero Espresso Martini; it was super light tasting and creamy. No punch at all which is nice. Me and my wife love Hero Ranch and will definitely come back again soon. Thank you again Gabriela!

    TL;DR: Fine dining with a slightly heavier touch on the flavor balance. Quality cuts of meat with a…read morefriendly corkage policy - very good choice for celebratory meals The cuts of meat on the ranch platter were really delicious. If you have a party of 4 or more, this is definitely the way to go to get a taste of it all. Despite being a red meat forward establishment, their octopus was a winner for the best dish of the meal! Unfortunately, all the other dishes were underwhelming and over seasoned. We'll be back to celebrate the next milestone and the corkage policy is the behind-the-scenes MVP! Cheers, Hero Ranch Kitchen!
