It's a nice location tucked a bit off the Main Street with ample outdoor and indoor seating. They had some cards and jenga available to play as well. It was a solid spot to stop at on our way back to San Francisco from Santa Cruz area. Definitely would not mind making a pit stop here again!

I've never been to another wine bar that does this, but I still feel all the positives far outweigh this one negative. Their bottle pricing is super fair, and I can always find something good to drink. The food is also excellent -- you should definitely try their Burrata Bowl.

Solid place for vinegars and olive oils in Downtown Los Gatos! I asked for a sample of the aged…read moredark balsamic and a sample of the olio nuovo (new olives) which is their premium limited batch first press olive oil. Their vinegars were not that great, didn't have much flavor and had too much vinegary kick. Good vinegar is supposed to be incredibly complex and smooth in flavor. Would give them a 2/5 on the vinegar alone. The olive oil is where I feel this place really shines. In particular, their Olio Nuovo is really punchy and flavorful. I would give this place a 4.5/5 based on the quality of the olive oils. So come here and give things a try -- make sure to skip the vinegar!

We frequent both the Los Gatos and Campbell location and enjoy the wide selection of well curated…read morebeers and seltzers. The ambiance is very welcoming as all the patrons are typically locals. I am leaving a one star review based on a consistent pattern of outright rudeness from the red haired bartender at the Campbell location. She is not only consistently rude and combative, but today in particular took it upon herself to add a hefty tip that we did authorize (additionally we bought two four packs and took them to go so it was not a sit in situation). We returned to remedy this and the other bartender was very helpful. However I was told it's "pretty common for us to add a 20% tip" if a customer walks away before the tip screen is presented. As a long time food service and viticulture employee I can tell you definitively that this is NOT industry standard, and is a blatant violation of the law. While automatic gratuity is something establishments can opt to do, it is illegal for a server or waiter to add an unauthorized non mandatory tip. Check your receipts and avoid the redheaded bartender as she has no integrity or customer service skills. It is deeply unfortunate that such a nice establishment has been marred by the illegal and misguided actions of one individual.

There's a menu of different beverages available. What I enjoyed is that each has its own presentation. The camera came on a rotator so it spun around.

Well worth it and would like to visit again. Service was really friendly, knowledge, and helpful. Shoutout to Wi for the great experience and offering me a pen. Glad we had him as our server!

It definitely gives me a different perspective, and I'm looking forward to coming back and giving Soda Works another try. Thanks again for the kindness and professionalism--it did not go unnoticed.

Food, drinks and staff have always been solid and consistently great but my evening tonight topped it all. After my friend left, I ordered food to go and a drink, went to the bathroom. The bartender was so fast.. but noticed I was alone so she kinda hid my drink until I got back. Then a little later I got sad because of a recent loss of a loved one. I was quiet, calm but this amazing woman noticed and checked on me. ‍ if I didn't love this place enough already, my stars tonight touched my heart. Thank you

We decided we wanted Mexican food, so I was poking around yelp when I came across this restaurant…read more The menu looked great, and then I went to their website and saw that this was named after a pet chihuahua, who honesty looks grumpy in the logo, so I was sold. I'm down for a place that named their restaurant after a dog. I appreciated that the chip basket wasn't huge - therefore we didn't over eat before our meal came. I ordered iced tea, and unfortunately, it was from the fountain, not fresh brewed, so I asked for a soda instead. This is one of the reasons I docked them 1 star. Salsa was decent, but the chips were a mix of stale and not stale. I am not sure how that happened, but I think they could improve their chips greatly - especially if they are mixing older ones with newer ones. I prefer light crispy thin chips and these were thicker. Food was really good - I had a fish taco and a shrimp taco with rice. My partner had shrimp fajitas. The fajita portion was incredibly generous and my tacos were great. If I came back, I would hold the sauce, because I don't like creamy sauce slathered on my tacos. The rice was the highlight of the meal - it was perfection. The interior of this place is fresh, modern and clean - not something you get very often in a sit-down Mexican restaurant, so I was a huge fan. Service was attentive, even though we were at an odd time, well after lunch but before dinner.

They focus primarily on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir--and honestly, that works perfectly for me. It's worth knowing upfront, but what they do, they do very well. The tasting experience is awesome with inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, plus an on-site restaurant that makes it easy to linger and enjoy the food, wine and the setting. The main reason I came back was for their Pinot Noir, which I've loved in the past--and it absolutely delivered again. If you find yourself in the Los Gatos area, make sure to add this winery to your itinerary. They also offer membership with some genuinely nice perks, which makes repeat visits even more alluring and enchanting. Until next time--what are you waiting for?

Date of Visit: 4/26/2026…read more We visited Shepherd & Sims with our friends and babies on the last weekend in April. Both of us brought our babies with us so I checked online and found this kids-friendly restaurant. Shepherd & Sims was opened by Jim & Angelique Stump, and they also own Lamella Tavern and The Table in Willow Glen. I made a reservation beforehand and was sit right away. Mermaid's Kiss $16 I got the blue cocktail made with Barcardi rum, blue curacao, Cointreau, lemon, pineapple, and simple syrup. Really like Blue Hawaiian cocktail. Fortune Teller $16 One of our friend ordered the cute cocktail made with Gordon's gin, luxardo maraschino, gifford violette, lime, and sage decorated on top. Hibiscus Arnold Palmer $6 My husband got the hibiscus lemon iced tea. Denver Omelet $20 For the food, I ordered from the brunch special menu. The Denver omelet has ham, bell peppers, onion, and cheddar on top. With crispy golden hash browns on the side. Mushroom Omelet $20 Our friend got another flavor of the omelet, with bacon, gruyere and also hash browns on the side. Spaghetti & Manila Clams $26 Husband picked the spaghetti and Manila clams, made with squid ink noodles, white wine, shallots, garlic, Calabrian chili, and butter.

The steak frites were 11/10. The steak was so well seasoned and had a nice flavor from the grill. The fries were addicting. For $32, it's pricey, but I split it with three coworkers so it was more reasonable. The carne asada fries were nice to split as well for $20, but I think upgrading to the steak frites for $12 extra is worth it. Board games were fun to play and the environment gives off chill brewery vibes. Great place! I'd come back if I have money to burn and want to spend a good time in Los Gatos haha
