We love the food here. Tonight, we door dashed our favorites, the skirt steak and the quintet. The skirt steak was listed as a la carte but had a picture of how it is served in the restaurant along with a description stating it included veggies and lemon potatoes, for $60. We received the steak pictured. I called and the hostess told us that is how it comes now. Pretty annoyed because that seems like a bait and switch. That steak dinner will now be $70+. The food was still delicious though. read more

Odeum was bustlin' on a Sunday at 5:00pm! My friend got the polipo and duck confit (two primis), and I got the moussaka. - Polipo ($22): Tender, but not much flavor. The beans definitely balanced it out since they were quite spicy! 3/5 - Duck confit ($20): Substantial enough to be a main dish. The skin was crispy and the meat was pretty moist. 3.5/5 - Moussaka ($35): Greek version of shepherd's pie. After the rave reviews from the staff, I expected more. Overly salted, and overall just ok. 3/5 Very dimly lit indoor area. That's how I can tell I'm getting old...almost had to bust out my phone light to read the menu. Service was ok. Slow to refill water, our server wasn't sure of the specials or that the Moussaka was on the menu when I ordered it. 20% auto service fee. Reservations available on Opentable. read more

Food, service, ambiance, music. All wonderful. Sat inside and while cozy was stylish, lively and just pleasant. Everyone was great from the hostess, the wait staff and the bus staff. Would not hesitate to go back over and over. Definitely best place I have been to in Morgan Hill by quite a bit. read more

We were greeted right away. Even though the restaurant was packed, No one rushed us at any point. We had a great table. It was a cold night but the temperature of the restaurant was monitored nicely. Our friendly waiter answered all of our questions. The quality of food, presentation and the taste was perfect. We were given a complementary appetizer. Will definitely go back. The only thing was the table next to us ordered some kind of sea food with a very strong smell. We could smell it the whole time they were eating. We both like seas food as well. I'm not sure why it bothered us so much. Maybe because the tables were about a foot apart. I'm not sure if that is a normal thing or the tables were that close due to the number of customers. Overall very happy with my dinner. read more

Been there about 20+ times. Great Service, dishes that are consistantly "delish"! Tonight had a number of items, the Scallops, Oysters, skirt steak, salad & a fantastic desert to top it off! Sometimes you feel like a short drive, Morgan Hill these days is a short trip from San Jose/Los Gatos & it is worth the drive. Make your rezzie & enjoy. You will be happy with your visit!! read more

Long review but basically, food was ok, service was not. I'm so bummed to write this review. I love eating at our local restaurants and not having to go all the way to San Jose, but our service was horrible, I would have rather sat in traffic to go to a farther place with good service. First, the water that was poured into our glasses was warm and it also had bits of things floating around in it. One of my friends asked if this was water that had lemon or lime in it, because that would explain the floaters. The server just said, "No, I just filled this pitcher." When we showed him the floaters in the water he said, "I don't know what that is." Didn't offer to take the waters away and get us clean ones. So we asked for that water to be taken away and we ordered sparkling water instead since we knew it would be bottled and clean. When he brought out clean glasses, there was no ice in them. So, we asked for ice. And we continued to ask for ice at least 3 times before we were actually brought ice. 3 glasses half filled with ice, for the 5 of us. We were celebrating a birthday and all 5 of us ordered a salad and shared 3 pizzas. I had the Mediterranean salad with the dressing on the side. I did really enjoy that. The pizzas came out and were not hot, they were just kind of warm. We asked for red pepper flakes, hot oil, and parmesan cheese, you know, the things that come with pizza. The hot oil made it out to us, but after asking multiple times for the pepper and cheese, those never came. Although, we were brought cracked black pepper and then regular pepper, that we didn't use because we never asked for that. We also brought a cheesecake to surprise our friend with. Not much of a surprise when the server comes out and says to the entire table, "You brought a cheesecake, we're going to charge you $5 a plate to plate it up for you." Not quite sure why they couldn't have said that to the ONE person that went inside to let them know we were ready for the cheesecake. And, the cheesecake was not refrigerated for us as we waited to eat it. Another thing that ruined our vibe as we tried to catch up and chat was the server kept asking if there were plates that could be taken away. We would nod and say, "Oh yes, thanks, these are good to take." And then he'd wait at the end of the table until we passed him the plates. There were also several plates that we said he could take away, but he never did. Odd too, because the plate with the salad dressing I had on the side sat the entire time at the end of the table closest to him and after letting him know multiple times he could take it, he never did. Hopefully with better training things will get better. read more

We arranged, many days in advance of Mothers Day, a reservation for a party of 22. We ultimately were only 15. This was the worst communication I have ever seen in a restaurant. We requested a menu multiple times, and never received it. The Chef finally sent us the entire menu for Mothers Day, 2 days before or arrival. It was the standard menu, for Mothers Day, that all patrons could order from. We arrived early, and were asked to sit in a waiting area and order some drinks. We were finally seated a full 45 minutes after our reservation time. We were given menus, and when we started to order, we were told that we could only have the family style meal, with only 3 items, that we never saw a copy of in our numerous texts or emails. We ended up paying our bar tab and walking away without food. Never again! read more

Had a great meal here during a road trip. Coming back for the food! The restaurant was crowded, and the service was good although I felt the hostess was a little snooty at first But she warmed up. The restaurant is spacious and has a quiet back area along with a noisy front. I'm looking forward to making this another stop on another road trip soon! read more

We celebrated a birthday in this artisan restaurant. The weather is nice here in Morgan hill. We sit outdoors, the sun is perfect, the staff has helped moving the heater next to us as it's a bit windy. There wasn't many crowd in a Sunday morning but enough to feel the vibe. We ordered a hummus - the bread is so crunchy though soft, sprayed with all kinds of spices. Even before you eat it, you can smell the lighted based spices and their mixed aroma. This dish has opened up our appetite perfectly to welcome the next few. The main dishes we ordered are grilled chicken souvlaki as well as the signature odeum gyro. The chicken has a good balance of nutritions with grilled vegetables and every ingredient preserves their own taste while creating an amazing mix with each other. The gyro came with lamb, potato, tomato, red onion, arugula, yogurt and feta cheese, interesting mix, the lamb was very tasteful, the arugula salad is very fresh and a great balance. it's so huge that we have to Togo it in the end. The dessert was on the house, it's a strawberry pudding with cinnamon, it was a great surprise, I like the mixture of fruit sour and dessert sweet. The experience is definitely great, with the staff attentive to you. I would like to try their dinner menu next time. read more

We were very excited to celebrate a special occasion as we'd heard some good things about this restaurant. The ambiance is nice. Eclectic decor and a good vibe. Service was good, very friendly staff. Two people in our group ordered the special lamb shoulder. It was so overcooked one person sent theirs back, which is not something we do easily. They couldn't cut into it with their knife. The server graciously replaced the dish. The second one was better but overly seasoned. I ordered the sea bass and it was completely burnt on the bottom. At first I thought it was charred but this was well past char. It was simply burnt. Additionally it was very salty. I wasn't able to eat it and was surprised the server didn't ask me when he saw my food was virtually untouched. My daughter ordered the gnocchi which was not cooked through. She wasn't able to eat it. Again, the server boxed up the food without inquiring why it wasn't touched. So much of the food was bad, and this place has such good reviews, we wonder if someone in the kitchen was new. A disappointing meal. read more

What a gem! Came here on our last day in Gilroy with my husband as a treat. It's pricey but so worth it. The staff was really nice. We got lucky with the weather and we were able to sit outside. We got the ricotta which was good and the blackened ahi tuna. DELICIOUS. Perfectly cook - it was like melted butter. You should try it out! read more

One of the better restaurants in that area, which is lacking great restaurants for the most part. I had the pizza which had a nice crust and was wood fired. The rest of the family had fish - and they enjoyed their dishes, even if they were a little heavy with the sauces. Service was good as well although having to walk outside and then go back inside to go to the restroom was strange. Ambiance was okay but the place is small and a little loud. read more

5/5 Food was amazing as usual. We had the shrimp salad, steak panini, and crack bread. 2/5 panna cotta, more on the jello side than cream. Strawberry compote was yummy but I just didn't like the texture of the panna cotta 5/5 excellent service by Juanita. Wrong order quickly fixed. Personable and friendly service. Thank you for celebrating our anniversary early. 20% service charge was a bit off putting since it was just the two of us. Our server deserve much more and we tip as such for her great service. In my mind tips are based on service not an automatic "IOU". read more

Very un-impressed. I never write reviews, only my second time, if I do it's because it sucked. Appetizer, cocktail and wine was great, but I went there for the food, 1 hour later we got white doughy pizza (WTF sucked) and the capellini pasta was good (just like your average joe restaurant, but pricey). We really want to like this place, somehow it always comes up short. How I paid $160+ tip is a mystery. Calling my credit card company. All dressed up but obviously nowhere to go, BS read more

Best restaurant in Morgan Hill and possibly the best restaurant in South Bay Area! The atmosphere is very New York - urban and modern but warm and inviting. The chef is innovative, attentive and accommodating. We've frequented the restaurant, and have also used them for catering. Upcoming we have a private event which we are so looking forward to. This is a gem of a restaurant with a truly passionate chef. The food is fresh, sustainable and delicious! Can't wait to share photos of the event! We will continue to keep supporting this business! read more

We went there to celebrate a friend's 60th birthday and unfortunately had terrible service from beginning to end. They served us water with things floating in it. When we asked what it was and why the water had it, the server had no idea and just said it was new water that was just put in the pitcher. No offer to bring new water, new glasses or anything. We ended up ordering sparkling water since the water wasn't drinkable. We asked for ice several times before it was brought out, asked for chili oil and red pepper for the pizza. The chili took a long time to come out (we were almost done by that point) and they brought black pepper instead. We brought a birthday cheesecake that they brought to the back before we started dinner, however they did not refrigerate it so when they served it, it came out melted and also announced to the table that they were charging us $5 a plate for serving it. We asked for the birthday dessert as well that they would normally give, and they said they would bring it out and never did. The pizzas weren't hot when they came out - they were mildly warm. It was just a disappointing night in general. In the past, the food and service has been good, but this time it was far from it and I will not be going back. read more

I have been coming here for a few years now I thought it was Morgan Hill's finest. I feel since the pandemic it's just not the same. Well the past 2 times it has not been the same. I feel that the food quality has gone down along with the service. The specials are not that special anymore they are always the same. We ordered two appetizers and both sold out, that's a first. We ordered the Wienerschnitzel it was horrible,dry, bland and the cold potato salad didn't complement the dish. The Ahi Tuna was also tasteless and the mash potatoes were salty! We were so disappointed with our meals. The crack bread was the only good thing. Also the servers are new and not trained well. They were so overwhelmed. Took forever to give our drinks, and ended up giving us the wrong ones. The back room I don't recommend it was so hot with no AC and with the kitchen next to the tables makes it even hotter(the blue curtain doesn't work). Sadly we will not be coming back, and will not recommend it no more Morgan Hill has no good fine dining. read more

Been here several times and generally is ok/good. However, this most recent experience, staff were terrible. Zero compassion for anyone. Stuck us in the corner where we couldn't even fit, even with a reservation. Asked several times for another table to accommodate our reservation to which there was zero resolution. read more

We recently had a most enjoyable and satisfying meal at Odeum; it was a special occasion, a group of us were seated in the beautiful outside patio under the trees. The early fall weather was prefect, service was actually quite good (I was concerned due to many negative comments from the reviews). Chef Sal (owner) came out to greet us, since our friend/hostess is a regular here, he offered to put together a special tasting menu for us. It was our lucky day. We had many dishes, some were from regular menu and many were special of the day. Portions were very generous unlike the typical tasting menu where you'd receive very tiny portions and go home still hungry. For appetizers we shared the calamari, crack bread, quartet with toasted pita and a special thin crust pizza. Everything was yummy but not nearly as special as what came next. For the tasting menu, we each received the following: -Grilled octopus with white beans, the octopus was grilled to perfection, tasty, tender with the right level of chewiness, no wonder it's one of the signature dishes. -Scallop over homemade pasta, a large scallop wrapped in bacon over a bed of very rich, super delicious noodles. This was a special of the day, one of the best pasta dish we've had in a long time. -Sea bass over risotto cake served with Asian seasoning and bok choy. Again, an excellent dish except some of the thinner pieces of fish were on the saltier side and slightly over cooked. -Tomahawk steak; a huge steak grilled to medium rare served on top of a large platter of French fries and vegetables. It was an impressive sight and equally as tasty. -Butter cake for dessert, very good but we were all so full We had sauvignon blanc and cabernet sauvignon with our meals; noticed that the wine mark up here is quite reasonable. The dinner is definitely on the pricier side but well worth the $$$ considering the quality and generous portions especially with Chef Sal's special touch. Highly recommended. read more

Our friends came into town from AZ as a last minute adult trip. We saw this place on Yelp and IG and everything looked amazing especially the wood fired pizzas!! We had just spent the whole day being tourists with our friends in Monterey and ate great all day.... Once we got back to town we were hungry and that's when we found this place in our search to find the perfect place to end the night. We arrived with no reservations for 4 people on a busy Saturday night, about 7pm. They added us to the list and we ordered drinks, and sat in the hallway looking at all the cool and interesting history down the hallway of the old railway station. They ended up forgetting about us. Seems a lack of communication.... We didn't care and we asked to be sat outside because inside felt a bit stuffy and it was extremely warm, despite the cold night. We had a younger dude as our waiter and he was very lax.... When he spoke to us he was cussing and we were surprised.. it's supposed to be a nice restaurant and he's speaking to us like a bro.... Not very professional.... Service was lacking the whole night. The kid would hardly look at us, even while I attempted to raise my hand like a school girl... lol We sat forever before getting our orders in and had to get up and ask someone who was standing around to get our order and our friend went up to the bar to go order more drinks because we sat there empty for 30 min or more.... Every time we tried waving him down he would avoid eye contact and we were right by the door on patio, so the kid walked past us every single time he was heading in and out. I understand it was busy and he had a lot of people but acknowledging that and US, at that, would have been the way to approach that or even ask for help from a manager or hostess that was practicing her cheerleading moves lol... They apparently do not service pizza at dinner, which we were unaware of when we chose this place. We didn't see anything about that on IG or Yelp while salivating over the pictures. We did see the kitchen produce a pizza while we were waiting but apparently that was for a "very special guest" and that was not us.... They refused to make an exception. Although our friends were only in town for the next night longer and we wouldn't be back for lunch to try the pizza, especially after the service we had. Bummed to say the least!! I ended up having the best meal of all 4 of us.... I saw some orders for the chicken n waffles going out to others while we waited and it looked amazing. I've never had it before and thought I'd give it a try since the chef is a Michelin star chef & there must be a reason so many people ordered it that night. I also used to live in GA and it's popular down there, although I never tried & I couldn't tell you if southern chicken n waffles is better, or here. :) It did take a long time for food to come out... Had we not had good company we would have been more irritated but we got to catch up with our friends.... Having drinks flowing would have been even better as well, but we only had 2 drinks the whole time we sat and that was for 2.5 hours. Huge portions, I took most of mine home and even shared with the table so everyone could try it. I was impressed and I would recommend it to anyone going there. However I think maybe we caught them on a bad night, and next time we know to call ahead and make a reservation... BUT we really wanted to try the pizzas.... So if we do go it'll probably be a lunch time thing so we can try them. Otherwise I'm sure other things on the menu are good, we just didn't get the best experience while we were there. Will give it a try another time and see if it changes or if it's the same... then I'll adjust my rating up or down. Also- I loved the hummus and pita plate & we had their crack bread I think it was called. Omg! Delish! Give me all the carbs! Haha That's the reason for the 4 star rating, I loved the food. I would have rated lower because of the service, if the food wasn't so good. :) Looks like a cool spot to have a special occasion dinner as well. read more

Probably the worst service ever. Food was eh which has not been my experience in the past, we had three of the pizzas for the group that came out warm, among a couple other items. We were served water that was warm and white stuff floating around in it when he poured it (no lemon in the water that would explain the floaters), took several times asking for ice to finally get it, tried asking for red pepper and kept getting different versions of black pepper (they didn't bring the spicy oil, red pepper and Parmesan cheese with the pizzas), plates we asked to be taken away weren't, but the server kept asking if there were dirty plates to be taken away and never got the ones we needed gone, we brought a cheesecake to celebrate a birthday which was not kept refrigerated and they came out to let us know they would be charging $5 per plate when they bring it out (thanks for ruining the surprise) and didn't bring out the birthday dessert that was requested. Oh and the floating stuff in the water? Said didn't know what it was, water pitcher was just filled and took several minutes to get the server to understand we would not be drinking it and needed other glasses...felt like we were getting pranked the entire time. read more
