    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    Chicken wings

    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.

    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!

    We went for dinner on a busy weekend. Since we had a reservation, we were seated right away outside on a side patio. The seating was a bit odd since it was right by the entrance and not part of the main patio, but the staff was super friendly and welcoming. Our server even changed the heater gas tank for us, which we really appreciated especially on a cold winter night! Food-wise, the roasted potatoes were pretty bland and not our favorite. The gnocchi was very flavorful, and the truffle pizza was good too. We also had some wine and a mocktail with our meal. Overall, the service was great, and I'd definitely come back again because of it.

    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.

    The wife wanted to hang out in Los Gatos last Sunday so we walked around for a while and did some window shopping. She had heard about Oak and Rye and wanted to check it out. So we killed time until they opened for dinner at 5pm. The place looked pretty small from the entrance but it looks like there are more seating areas to the left of where you enter. But we wanted to sit at the bar anyway, so that's where we went. Bar was open so we bellied up and got our menus. We weren't really ready for a full-on dinner so we ended up splitting a pizza and a salad. This ended up being pretty much the perfect amount of food and certainly could have served as a dinner for 2 people. The Arugula salad was very good. It was well-dressed and a large size. The pizza we shared was the Scotty 2 Hottie, (throwback to the old WWF wrestling tag team). The pizza was good but not amazing. Since going to Italy last year and starting to make pizza dough and pizza at home, I guess we've kind of become pizza snobs. Don't get me wrong, the pizza was good. It just didn't blow us away. But the stand out part of our experience was the bartender, Austin. He was very friendly and informative. I spoke to him about how I was recently laid off from my job and had long thought about getting into bartending. He told me how he got started. So we had a few drinks, a glass of wine with the pizza and I got an Amaro flight after dinner. Austin was very helpful with making suggestions. Overall, the experience at Oak and Rye was very good and we would certainly come back.

    Margarita pizza, tomato bisque app, and i believe the bronco
    Hannah K.

    We dined here for the first time last night with my dad. The service was excellent. We had an estimated wait time of 30-45 min but got seated in 20 which was amazing (we arrived at 7:30pm)! The staff was great and the food came out so quick despite how busy they were. The food was alright i wouldn't say it was the best but the vibes made up for it. They have primarily vegetarian pizza options We are still happy we tried it!

    Do they offer a gluten feee crust?

    No, the woodfire oven is too hot for GF crust.

    I believe the happy hour menu includes selected pizzas for $10 from M-F 3-5pm :)

    Yes it is.

If you're hoping to sit inside, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. The service was wonderful from start to finish. My friend and I both ordered the smash burger and I've got to say it was easily one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned so well. The sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and absolutely delicious. And whatever you do, DO NOT skip the bread pudding. It was a 1000/10! Not overly sweet, perfectly balanced, and the texture was incredible. If you're on the fence about dessert, just order it, you won't regret it. The only minor downside was that the sodas were very flat and tasted a bit syrupy. Other than that, everything was fantastic. The prices were reasonable, the portions were generous, and the overall experience was excellent for such a cute spot in downtown Los Gatos. Will definitely be returning soon!

I absolutely love the interior of the restaurant, very spacious and classy looking. We were a group of four and ordered 6 dishes and that were enough portions for all of us.

Selection of daily oysters: I am not a big fan of oysters but these were surprisingly great. The size was just right and there were three different sauces.

    TLDR: Top 5 pork chops…read more So, my wife loves pork chops. For her birthday, I decided to find a place with good chops. It was a bit tougher than expected. I wanted a restaurant that serves nice THICK pork chops, grilled to perfection. Seems like a lot of them are located around Los Gatos... So here we are, for her special day! The best porkchop she's had in California was in Half Moon Bay. Unfortunately, I think the restaurant has closed... It was called Cetrella. But Asa might have the second best pork chop she's ever had. And so, since Cetrella has closed, this has become the new de-facto best porkchop! For that reason, this place gets 5 stars. I had a bit of it. It was cooked so well, white flesh all around, no pink at all. I think it was grilled and not sous-vide because she's had it done SV style and it still wass pink in the middle, even though it was all "thoroughly cooked". But despite the well-done, it was still juicy and soft! Pork is SOOO Easy to get dry. And especially since this is a thick chop. It was great! And no sauce... just an herb rub. I ordered the steak... it was cooked well. I've had better, and I generally prefer rib-eye over New York. But it wasn't bad at all. Just a little chewier than I would have liked. Plus $50 for a 12 oz, seemed a bit steep. I'd rather have ordered the pork chop. We also ordered the Chili Fries, which were a little too salty. But the taste was really good, and the fries were crunchy. If you dip them in the aioli, it's not as salty. For special occasions, my wife likes to treat herself to a cocktail. She really liked the Peach Punch with the Clarified Milk. It had a heavy dose of rum, and not too sweet. Plus it looked very pretty! We had 3 desserts! The basque cheesecake was ok... it looked deflated on one side, so it didn't look that appetizing. The taste was ok, it's not my favorite type of cheesecake... too airy for my taste. Almost like a souffle. I really enjoyed the chocolate chip cookies though! Freshly baked, huge and gooey. It was definitely worth the $15 for the 4 cookies. Worthy of some of the best bakeries I've been to! Finally, for her birthday celebration, the restaurant gave my wife a complimentary cocktail ice cream. It's kinda funny, she could really taste the alcohol, whereas all I could taste was the banana. But we both agreed it was a great ice cream. She hates ice cream and she still finished almost a third of it! The ambiance is a bit loud. Not a romantic atmosphere, but it's not a club atmosphere either. The service was great... the waiter and busboys were super attentive to us, even though the place was pretty packed. The host was also super friendly. Highly recommend this place! The one bad thing about this is, since it's attached to the Best Western, it's hard to find parking. Most places say it's for hotel parking only, so you'd have to generally park on the street, unless you get really lucky and find a non-hotel parking spot in the lot.

    After years of wanting to come here, I'm happy to report that Asa lived up to the hype that I…read morecreated in my head. Food, service, and ambiance were all great! To eat three of us shared some apps, mains, and desserts. We started with the Mixed greens and heirloom beets salad and Delicata squash, then got the Mushroom pasta and Argentinian steak, and finished with the Molten chocolate bomb and Basque style cheesecake. The starters were good, they just weren't my first choice, there were others on the seafood section that I wanted to try more, but that's a reason to go back. Both entrées were great, the steak was cooked perfectly with the most delicious chimichurri, and I couldn't get enough of the mushroom pasta. I would get either of these again. I was still a little hungry after the food, but that left room for dessert and not leaving the restaurant uncomfortably stuffed. We brought our own bottle of wine but also got cocktails there. I didn't like my cocktail very much, but everyone else liked thiers, and I tried a sip of the martini and really liked that. They did have a pretty massive wine selection, so very easy to find something you'll like. We made fairly last minute reservations the day before we wanted to go, three of us looked and all got different availability options on open table, but luckily it allowed me to book. The only option was the covered outdoor patio on what was a very intense rainy night, but that patio is sturdy and rain resistant. It was filled with heaters and stayed very warm, if I weren't sat right next to the opening I wouldn't have been able to tell it was raining.

    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 had such a wonderful experience celebrating our anniversary dinner here. From the moment we…read morewalked in, Serene made us feel incredibly welcome. She was warm, friendly, and genuinely hospitable, setting the tone for a fantastic evening. The food was excellent and arrived surprisingly quickly, which we really appreciated. Throughout our meal, Serene checked on us regularly to make sure everything was perfect, and her pleasant demeanor made us feel truly valued as guests. The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, but what really made the evening special was the exceptional service we received from Serene. Her kindness and attention to detail turned a great dinner into a memorable anniversary celebration. We can't wait to come back!

The diavola pasta had a great texture and a flavorful sauce, although it felt a little simple since there weren't many other ingredients mixed in. The crispy brussels sprouts weren't for me, not very crispy and a bit hard. The gelato was much better than I expected and ended up being a nice way to end the meal. The service was great though and the lighting inside nice! Overall, the meal was a bit hit-or-miss, but I'd come back to try more of the pizzas since those were definitely the highlight

    A month or two ago, I wrote that Dos Burros was my new favorite spot. Flowers now rivals that, but…read moreI suppose that's no surprise given they are "sister restaurants"! I don't want to write about both restaurants on the Flowers page but I think it's worth calling out that the service / hospitality and craftsmanship for both food and drink in both restaurants are standout. For drinks, we ordered the Flowers Old Fashioned and Cantarito. For the Cantarito, I loved the tart passion fruit with the slight carbonation of the grapefruit soda--this was definitely my kind of drink! For food, we shared everything: tuna wonton tacos, prawn cigars, duck with risotto, scallops, and brussel sprouts. This was the perfect amount of food, as we left full and satisfied but not stuffed. The tuna wonton tacos had a good amount of tuna, and had a such a punch of (well-balanced) flavors; I loved the touch of heat. The duck was also incredibly tender with a crispy outside, and I think the natural fattiness / oiliness of the duck paired well with the relatively sharp, Parmesan flavor of the risotto. I also enjoyed the flavors and sauces with the other dishes but those two aforementioned were my favorite. Lastly, the bread pudding for dessert was excellent! It was the perfect size to share, and I loved the various crunchy "garnishes", from the graham cracker crumbs to the caramelized sugar piece and the little chocolate balls. Will definitely come back again to try more of the menu!

    We saw a review on Check Please a few years ago and always intended to try it. We had a wonder…read moreexperience. The restaurant is small and intimate. Service is excellent! We started with the beef carpaccio and it was tender and delicious. We also had the shrimp cigars and two old fashioned. For main course I had the miso cod and it was tender and very flavorful- the miso saturated the entire fish. Going forward I would have ordered a vegetable to pair with it. My husband ordered the duck and that was a bit disappointing. They hadn't rendered the fat properly so the skin was chewy rather than crisp. The duck was slightly on the tough side. On a very positive note, the wines are market price rather than the large markup you see in most restaurants. The chocolate cake was overly dense. Since it was a birthday celebration they also brought out little chocolate cream filled cups that were delicious. We will definitely return.
