Came for Sunday brunch. Ambience is super nice, shaded patio area with a lot of plants. Brunch menu was pretty plain. Knocked off a star because it took awhile for the appetizers to come out and we had to flag down our waiter to order our actual food, which took additional 20-30 min to come out. Took the time to hangout and walk around. There's some fun coffee, shops around. All the drinks everyone ordered was good. Overall a cute place to come with a group and catch up! read more

Excellent food excellent service and excellent company. Came here to meet up with my friends from junior high that I keep in contact with. Lots of available parking on the street and nearby. We ordered the skirt steak, the blackened ahi, the shrimp Francese and the Chilean sea bass. Each dish was unique and delicious. I could not choose my favorite. The atmospheres nice and quiet with a chill setting. Maybe because there were no kids around. I advise against bringing the loud ones as it may ruin the serene atmosphere. I'm definitely coming back and bringing my family here as there was so many different dishes to choose from that. I know each person will love. read more

Odeum in Morgan Hill is in a league of its own. From the moment you arrive, the level of care and attention makes it clear this isn't just another night out -- it's an experience. Chef Calisi has been amazing. The way he treats his guests, the precision, the presence -- you can feel it in every detail. And the food... truly exceptional. Every dish is elevated, thoughtful, and executed at a level you don't come across often. Places like this set the standard. If you know, you know. read more

Odeum - [Morgan Hill] - Delicious appetizer - Mediterranean Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

This is a good place for a date night, catch up with a friend at the bar, birthday dinner double date, or even a nice anniversary dinner. From the crack bread to the Chicken Souvlaki everything is cooked to perfection and flavorful. Lots of fresh herbs and oils/butter. The service was great but might've been slightly understaffed. Gave us some complimentary flatbread that was great. read more

We ate at Odeum tonight with some friends. We hadn't been to Odeum in 10 or so years, so we were excited to dine here for dinner tonight. My memories of the food and service were stellar. Tonight's experience didn't meet that expectation on a number of fronts. First we started with cocktails (4/5) and two appetizers: fried calamari (3/5) and ahi tacos (5/5). There were two per order, but packed with fresh/flavorful ahi...easy the best bites my wife and I had tonight. My wife and I both ordered steaks for our entrees, me the bone in ribeye (4/5) and she the filet (3/5). My ribeye was cooked correctly, but was much thinner than I expected for what was advertised as the Cowboy Ribeye. I would call it a cowgirl ribeye. My wife's filet was rare plus, when she ordered her steak temperature medium. She doesn't ever send her food back to get it right in fear of retribution. So I gave her my steak that was closer to medium and I ate her filet. Both steaks were seasoned aggressively, which I appreciated. My main issue with Odeum was the service. While our server, Steve, was pleasant and friendly, he lacked responsiveness. We brought a very nice bottle of wine. We had to request him to open the bottle after being in the restaurant 20-30 mins. Then we had to ask for wine glasses. While 2 of us drank our cocktails, my wife and friend sat drinking water waiting for Steve to get the wine poured. Conversely the service support staff was the opposite of Steve. Their frenetic pace and trying to clear partially finished plates while we are having conversations was frustrating. They had to be told on multiple occasions that we were still eating. This is a pretty small restaurant with hard surfaces so it was very loud, making conversations difficult. All four of us had to lean in to hear each other talk. I'm sure this review reads like I'm a complainer, but I feel like management and patrons should know when a long time successful restaurant has areas that need attention. While I was happy to learn that Odeum was still around after all the years of us being out of the area, I was just disappointed that it was a much different experience than the times we dined here years ago. Enough said. read more

The bread was probably my favorite part of the meal. It was so crispy and the garlic and butter added really nice flavor to it, I loved it. The Tuscan fries could've used a little more salt to them. The pizza was good as well, but I probably would have preferred to not have the jalapeños in them, but that's my fault for not asking them to take them out. But overall really good pizza. Service was good, and the vibe of the restaurant is great for a nice dinner, I feel like this is a very underrated restaurant in town. read more

Everything is excellent including the ambience. The Lamb chops are quite simply the best! Could not recommend more highly

A lively neighborhood gem - every table was full, and the restaurant had a very festive vibe. Food presentation was great with generous portions. The crack bread was the standout and a must-order. The Norcino pizza was flavorful but a bit salty, and the radicchio salad was excellent. A couple of misses: our anniversary was noted in the reservation but not acknowledged, and the Spicy Ginger cocktail took an unusually long time to arrive, showing up just minutes before my meal was finished. Service was still very pleasant overall, and the energy of the place made for an enjoyable experience. read more

We had appetizers for dinner. Wonderful assortment! Tasted great! Only downside was it wasn't to ADA friendly. It was a long walk to the front, up the elevator then walk more around the building, thru a doorway ( the rug there is horrible for walkers and old people walking) then down another long hallway, go outside to enter restaurant! Food was great! Service was great. But not a good place for Seniors with ADA needs. Music was very loud too. read more

Odeum is such an amazing restaurant! I love coming here with my friends whenever we want a great meal and a fun night out. The food is incredible and the atmosphere is always great it's a perfect place to relax, enjoy good company, and have an amazing dining experience. Chef Sal does an amazing job. You can really tell the care and creativity that goes into the food, and everything we've tried has been delicious. The service is also some of the best I've ever had. The staff is attentive, friendly, and makes you feel really welcome every time. Highly recommend everyone gives Odeum a try. One of my favorite spots! read more

What a great gem in downtown Morgan Hill. I was passing through and looking for a cute place to stop for lunch. I tried the quintet, which is all 5 of their dips with pita bread. It was a delicious selection of dips and the pita was soft fluffy and flavorful. I was also obsessed with the risotto stuffed mushrooms. They could've used a little bit of a crunchy element but the flavors were all there. Overall a great little spot to visit! read more

I recently visited Odeum for the first time to celebrate my birthday and had made a reservation for 15 people a week in advance. I also confirmed the reservation both the day before and the morning of to ensure everything was set. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were informed by the hostess that our reservation had been canceled by the owner due to no confirmation, despite my prior confirmations. While the miscommunication was disappointing, the staff was able to accommodate our group with a table in the back after about 30 minutes, which we appreciated. The food was great and the service was good overall, but it was disappointing not to receive the original outdoor reservation we had planned for on such a special occasion. read more

Odeum in Morgan Hill absolutely exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, the experience was thoughtful, flavorful, and memorable. The atmosphere is calm for lunch which I loved We started with the Tyrokafteri, which might have been my favorite bite. Creamy, and incredibly well balanced. It set the tone for the entire meal. The spicy Caesar salad with grilled chicken was another standout. Crisp, bold, and not shy on flavor, with chicken that was juicy and well seasoned. The grilled vegetable gyro was outstanding. The vegetables were beautifully grilled, smoky, and hearty, making it incredibly satisfying without feeling heavy. Every bite felt intentional and well executed. A special shoutout to the bartender Josh for the mocktails. Each one was creative, balanced, and thoughtfully crafted, making us feel just as included in the experience as cocktail drinkers. Odeum delivers not just great food, but genuine hospitality and attention to detail. We can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu. read more

Made a reservation on open table for dinner at 5pm. It wasn't busy at 5pm and they offered a high chair or booster seat for the baby and allowed us to pick any spot. We ordered : Stuffed mushrooms- mushrooms topped with cheesy risotto. Very tasty and savory 9/10 Crack bread- buttery , soft , with a sprinkle of cheese and crispy on the edges. This was amazing. 10/10 Margharita pizza - loved the tomato sauce on the thin crust pizza, good amount of cheese. Enjoyable and fresh. 8/10 Skirt steak - served with mash potatoes and asparagus. The seasoning was slightly sweet , while tasty , I thought the other entrees especially the appetizers stood out more. Was too full for dessert but otherwise would've loved to try the butter cake. We were really impressed by the appetizers and could definitely be full just eating those alone. Solid place for a date night and service was great. Nice ambiance. read more

One of our favorite places to dine and support the local community is a restaurant we revisit often. This Father's Day, we took my husband and son-in-law to one of their favorite spots as well. While it can be quite costly, it's worth it to celebrate a special occasion with loved ones. Thanks to our advance reservations, the staff was able to accommodate our party of six half an hour early, which was a nice surprise. However, parking was a bit challenging that evening, likely due to the many families celebrating Father's Day in downtown Morgan Hill. We ordered several appetizers, including their renowned Polipo. The calamari we tried was very crunchy and flavorful. For the first time, we sampled their Miyagi Oysters and the Grilled Lamb Riblets. The lamb was tender and delicious, with no gamey taste at all. For the main course, my son-in-law chose a brunch item for dinner: Chicken & Waffles. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, even though that dish is typically not served at dinner. My husband enjoyed the Halibut, while I had the Shrimp Francese, both of which were delicious. We also ordered a few more dishes (not shown in the pictures) like the Tuscan Fries, Crispy Beef Mac & Cheese, Mediterranean Salad, and Fungi Ripieni. A must-visit dining place in Morgan Hill. read more

I took my wife (and 4 year old Izzy) here to celebrate her birthday. This place is very elegant and serves flavorful dishes. I would highly recommend the Sea Bass.

Odeum - [Morgan Hill] - Beautiful location outside and inside this is the bar - Mediterranean Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

The two stars I give the restaurant is for the service. The food tasted amazing. Presentation and taste was quality. The restaurant itself was beautiful, there was a musician outside singing and playing guitar. The service needs a big improvement. I can tell that the staff are inexperienced because our party of 4 arrived at the restaurant right when they opened at 430pm. We were told immediately that we could order our main dishes but they would be started until 5pm when the kitchen was fired up. This is ridiculous because why advertise that your restaurant is open when it's clearly not ready. I ended up having to cancel a training session I had planned in San Jose after dinner. Also I could tell the inexperience because of the flow of how everything came out, missing waters, etc. We did order small appetizers the hummus sampler and the crack bread which were very fresh and tasted so good. Beautiful presentation. Our food came out at about 530 an hour after we arrived. All the food was amazing. When we got out split check one of the platters was priced over ten dollars from the listed menu price. We asked why and the waiter said oh that was for plating the entree separately. Which is fine for the charge but charges should be explained beforehand. Don't just tack it onto the platter price without explaining. Again, the inexperience shined through out our experience. Also I could hear loud talking and laughing from the hostess and other workers which is fine I guess if it is in the back but if I came with my husband on date night or a special occasion I would be so mad. Overall I would come back if I were in the area and do a lunch here, I wouldn't drive out of my way from San Jose to come here because there are other restaurants at a similar price point where you can get the most amazing service. If I lived in Morgan hill and for a special occasion I would skip this spot, and take the extra 30 min to go to another place. If the service was a lot better I would have given them a 4 star rating. read more

One of the best restaurants in downtown Morgan Hill. If you're looking for a great date night, I would recommend this place. It's a great ambience, cool vibe, really good food, great cocktail menu, and an awesome staff. This place will not let you down. Everything on the menu is really good and I would ask your server what recommend so they can guide you through the menu! They also have a great patio, with outdoor heating. read more

TLDR: Slow service, chef's hair in my food and not given options forced to pay for it, disregarded gluten-free request, waiters did not know menu. However, servers were largely friendly, the food was good outside of the hair. Drinks were okay. Nice patio with good ambience. We came here yesterday, first customers and made a reservation. At first they were welcoming and accomodated our party. We ordered drinks - I wanted a coffee and asked for a menu or options and if there were flavors. The waiter said they could make espresso beverages but did not provide a menu nor say if there were flavors. I got a latte and it literally just tasted like milk, next to zero coffee flavor (and then in dessert time the menu revealed there were flavor options... I was bummed.) The service, despite us being the only one where was exceptionally slow. One of our members said they were gluten free and the waiter offered options but then one of the options he gave actually was not gluten free when she got her food - waiter could be trained on options. When we got home she got sick... it totally is not on the restraurant for not having a GF menu (i didnt choose the place... ) but if they are told there is a gluten allergy they should be trained.... My lamb burger had a thick coarse hair lodged within the meat. The waiter took it to the chef and came back 10-15 minutes later saying they were already making me another one... Why would I want ANOTHER of something I just had a hair lodged in? The waiter could have offered options instead... a HAIR is pretty nasty. Two other people at the table got the lamb burger too and it ruined their meal because they were looking out for hairs the whole time. They gave us a burger to go because I said I didn't want the burger and the waiter insisted he was already making it so my option was to take it home. So while that is kind, and I do appreciate it... I do really hate hair in my food and so no one wants to eat it... Just given the prices and expectations... it would have been nice to get good service and safe food. One sweet thing was they did have freshly made apple juice my daughter loved and the rest of the food was good. read more

Odeum is such a hidden gem in the little city of Morgan Hill. It is located in the cute downtown area but has their own secluded parking lot which made it very easy to park there. I was able to make a reservation easily on Yelp the day of because I didn't know how busy it would get. I love how they have both an outdoor and indoor seating area. Both have a beautiful modern ambiance with lively music. To start off, the service was amazing. The first time I came here I ordered the gnocchi which I loved so much. It was cooked to perfection with a delicious red spaghetti sauce. However, when I visited this place a few days later they didn't have it but our kind waitress let us know that the kitchen could still make it for us. The chef also gave us some flatbread to sample which was delicious as well. The strawberry cocktail was also pretty good and not too strong. Overall, this spot is a perfect date night spot. Everything is priced averagely for a nicer dining restaurant. The pasta was about $30, drinks about $20. I will definitely be back soon! read more

Food was average, not great. Service was horrible, super slow. Had 3 appetizers sitting on the table for 15 minutes before cocktails came. Took an additional 10 minutes for our bottle of wine to show up. Waiter never checked on us after food came. Never came to ask how our food was and if we needed anything. Never came to poor wine when glasses were empty. Never asked our non-wine drinker if he wanted another beer. read more

I have reviewed this restaurant before and commented on the menu, the service, how they allowed me to come and eat although I was a mess with nasty-looking open wounds all over my face and neck (I asked to be seated in the banquet room where no one could see me; my out-of-town guest wanted a last minute change and I could not postpone my surgery... ... ...) But the reason I am reviewing today is, in a word: CARBONARA!!! I had not found any restaurant in MH that serves it! Sicilia in Bocca used to feature it on their menu, I'm sure that Maurizio could make any- and everything (but it wasn't on the menu) Noah's has lots of pasta dishes, Giorgio's, etc. but nope! no one was making it... ... ...FINALLY I saw it "pop" on Odeum. A lot of people think that carbonara is pasta swimming in a heavy cream sauce. Non è vero. I am OBSESSED with this version: it's exactly what carbonara needs to be! The pasta is perfectly al dente, and it is tossed with CHEESE and what I believe to be some pasta cooking water, so it emulsifies and coats the linguine, but does NOT taste like "cream soup" or "butter soup." The pancetta is crispy and well done--they weren't hurrying and they didn't give me "almost-cooked, chewy pancetta" in e.g. a "pancetta mac and cheese." I don't like how dark the restaurant is (and I always sit facing the window, and so I am blinded by the sun... ... ...my friend has old, problematic eyes like I do, so I let him sit facing away from the door/window.) The chairs have significantly improved--they used to be very uncomfortable. I don't usually drink cocktails when I go out, but once a while ago I requested a martini made with very specific modifications and it was PERFECT. I usually go out to lunch vs. dinner and I wish that they were open every day for lunch. Please, please, por favor, don't take this dish off the menu!!! read more

The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. When you walk up to the restaurant you have to walk through the outdoor dining area which is not bad. However, the entrance to the actual restaurant only has 1 door and you have guest entering and waiters exiting to serve the guests outside, making things feel very cramped. The restaurant doesn't seat too many so a reservation is definitely recommended. It's nicely decorated, and the low lighting gives it a romantic vibe. I had the curried prawns and they were delicious!! My husband ordered the special- duck. He enjoyed it but said it was slightly dry. Overall the food was good and look forward to trying out other items on the menu. read more

Odeum in years past has gotten quite a bit of mixed reviews, often due to the inconsistency of experience and dish execution. However as of late I've been seeing more and more positive reviews and decided to give it a chance. The ambiance was very cozy and modern, I enjoyed how the space seemed to welcome you into the dining room. The service was very prompt and attentive, we really appreciated how smoothly the dinner went. The signature cocktail list impressed me, a lot of interesting options. We ordered the Milk Punch, Straw All Day, and Amarillo by Morning; the highlight was the Milk Punch which was flavorful and smooth. For an appetizer we enjoyed the Polpio which was cooked very well. As for entrees we had the Skirt Steak and Chilean Sea Bass both of which were delicious, I especially enjoyed my Skirt Steak which I actually felt was good value. We finished up having a Chocolate Skillet for dessert which was made well. Despite mixed reviews in the past I feel that Odeum is a quality restaurant for a nice meal, definitely worth heading down to Morgan Hill for. read more

We went here for a team lunch and I have to say the ambiance of this place is extremely welcoming! Very warm and cozy, it truly was a place I wanted to spend time in. The service was also excellent. They really tried hard to be close to fine dining. The servers were helpful and very prompt, the food came out very quickly as well. We started with the Quintet sampler which in my opinion was the best dish. The vegetarian dips were good. The Ricotta was the best in my opinion, and the pita was soft and warm. We got the falafels which were pretty average. The others on my team got calamari and octopus which they liked. I believe their sea food dishes were quite good. For vegetarian entrees, even though their online menu boasts a fair few options there was only a margarita pizza. It was a basic cheese pizza so I was disappointed. We did finish with the latte which was pretty good. Overall the food wasn't something to wish for but still an overall good experience. read more

The service was on point! Johnny was our server and bartender for the night. He was super friendly and very attentive on service and always made sure we were doing great! We started off with the Quintet sampler and a "Fall for you" drink and the apple cider. The sampler was great, If I were to come back though, I deff would only get the spread with the bacon on top. I love savory and all of the spreads were super different and this was the only savory one. We tried almost all of the drinks and the "Fall for you" was by far my favorite (like apple juice). After the first round and the sampler, we got our entrees, in the pictures below, both were sooo creamy and cheesy and flavorful and just absolutely amazing!! We split the plates which was seriously just the best idea... and ended with the butter cream cake! Suuuuuppppperrr tasty and buttery but not crazy sweet more like delectable.. sooo yummy read more

Great food but too loud. Extremely difficult to have a conversation. Very disappointing because we like it.

I had the lamb flatbread, the ahi rotolo, and the Louisiana Buttercake. The food was off the chain. The flatbread was incredibly delicious, and had the perfect texture. The ahi was seared and cut to perfection. The buttercake was fantabulous. I had a pretty good expresso after enjoying all the foods. I had lunch here with one of my fellow coworkers. He enjoyed his entrée as well, which was a wrap with steak inside of it (I can't remember the exact name of his dish though). Nonetheless, the ambience was pretty chill, and the servers were incredibly friendly and accommodative. I will definitely return to this fine establishment to explore other items on the menu. read more
