A New Favorite Local Gem: Exceptional Service, Scratch Kitchen Magic We visited Shepherd & Sims for the first time yesterday for happy hour, and it exceeded our expectations from the moment we walked in. The host greeted us warmly, and that friendly, upbeat energy carried through the entire team. The space itself is gorgeous, featuring spacious indoor and patio seating, as well as an incredible full-bar display complete with a rolling library ladder. Our server, Kai, provided top-tier service. He gave us a wonderful breakdown of the menu, highlighting how the executive chef crafts everything in-house--from the blue corn tortillas and slider buns to the potato chips and onion dip. My husband had the ahi tuna tostada and a selection of daily oysters, both of which he absolutely devoured. I ordered the "Only Burger" slider, and after a little push from my husband and Kai (who accurately described the "awesome sauce" as an upgraded In-N-Out spread), I kept the sauce on--and I'm so glad I did! The slider was flawless in both size and flavor. Paired with those ultra-crispy, perfectly salted homemade chips and dip, we left completely satisfied. We will without a doubt be returning again and again--and bringing friends next time! read more

This is one of our favorite spots for happy hour. We came here again last Friday around 4:50pm and they were quite busy. We usually sat in their lovely covered outdoor patio, but this time we decided to sit at one of the high tables in the bar area inside. Their modern and upscale interior looked very welcoming. Service was friendly. Instead of my usual Sip n' Slurp Combo, I decided to try their Taco 'Bout a Lady Combo. 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! read more

American food with what seems like a sprinkle of Asian influence? Outside it looks like a wooden cottage and inside it looks like a Great Gatsby movie set The chicken liver mousse was DIVINE they gave SO MUCH of it too! The fat had so much flavor and would come back just for this lol Meats were all cooked to PERFECTION amazing textures and tenderness not overcooked at all (ribs, pork chop, and octopus all great). Flavors were interesting seemed to draw from Asian cuisines, for example the pork ribs over rice had a viet style glaze. Could've been more savory and pack more of a punch with some fish sauce but still yum!! It's like fine dining but without too crazy of a price tag! Would say it's quite good value read more

Went in for happy hour and then got treated for Thursday music night. Food is very good and flavorful. Started with oysters which were very fresh and diverse. Then the mussels with the thai sauce. Very nice. Went to the beef burger and the chicken slider which were both really nice. I preferred the chicken. Then Thursday music started. It was excellent and find while there. Service was great. Anna made recommendations as we were seated. Our waiter was timely and watchful. We will come back. read more

Was taken here for a birthday dinner and enjoyed everything immensely. I had ordered a cocktail that looked interesting. I didn't really like it and the waiter cheerfully replaced it with something else. I ordered fish and chips and my companion ordered seafood pasta. The appetizer was rice ball croquets. Delicious!! The food came out fast and was absolutely wonderful . We ended the evening with a sticky toffee birthday dessert. Service was 10 out of 10. I will definitely be back. read more

We had a great visit to Shepherd and Sims Monday afternoon for Happy Hour. I was pleasantly surprised to see the amount of items offered during this time. Three of us were in the mood for Oysters on the Half Shell and they were so tasty. My wife mentioned that her Hummus was terrific and the Coconut Prawns that we had also were enjoyed. Courtney, (sp?) was excellent and very warm to us. Service was a bit slow during such a slow period. I will revisit the restaurant when in the area. read more

IMHO Beautiful restaurant, epic customer service from Patty and bartender extraordinaire, Sal, and yummy food. Our party of 7 enjoyed delicious cocktails crafted by Sal for our specific tastes. Sal's suggestion for me was the Chi-Chi (vodka, trader Vic's macadamia nut, pineapple, coco lopez), $12!! The ladies all loved it; we had to order another round of Chi-Chis! We arrived early enough to enjoy Happy Hour appetizers. We ordered a dozen oysters, $2.50 each, New England Clam Chowder bowls, $7, Fried Chicken bites, $15, Coconut Shrimp, $14, Beer Battered Fish Sticks, $12, Patatas Bravas (Yukon gold potatoes, salsa brava, aioli), $12, and a Focaccia bread service, $7. I wish I had thought to order the empanadas! Next time! Entrees ordered included Shepherd & Sims salad, $18, special Wedge salad, $18, The Only Burger That Belongs On The Table, $21, Market Fish, $36, HH Fried Chicken Sandwich Slider, $6.50, HH Beer Battered Fish Sticks, $12, HH Fried Chicken bites, $15, Wagyu steak special, $46. The bun-to-chicken ratio on my HH chicken slider was wanting. There was more bun than chicken and the bun was overly toasted. I simply removed the bun and ate the sweet chicken bite. The menfolk expected their Wagyu steaks to be more tender but thought they were chewy. If it's Wagyu, it should melt in your mouth, IMHO. Patty was concerned that the meat entrees were lacking for one friend and offered to bring him something else. Her concern for his happiness showed and was greatly appreciated. Desserts were divine and beautiful to look at. I love me an Affogato, $12, and it did not disappoint! Delish! Friends ordered the Passionfruit Sorbet, $5, Bread Pudding, $14, Lemon Cheesecake, $14. The restaurant ambiance was bright and clean. I appreciated that I could actually see my menu without having to squint for lack of good lighting. Service was exceptional from everyone, especially Patty who kept us laughing and informed. Our plates were efficiently removed and water refilled often without being obtrusive. We all look forward to returning to Shepherd & Sims again soon! Perhaps during the summer, we could dine outside on their lovely patio! read more

Great experience overall! This was my first time visiting Shepherd & Sims, and I was really impressed. The host was incredibly gracious and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. I visited on a Sunday afternoon with my friend. I asked for an iced coffee, even though it wasn't on the menu, and they happily made one for me. I also ordered the Ahi Poke Bowl with the dressing on the side, and they got everything exactly as requested. The food was fresh, the service was attentive, and the overall experience was excellent. I'll definitely be back! read more

Date of Visit: 4/26/2026 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. read more

Food was excellent. Ambiance was great - the inside is modern and nice- We sat outside because it was a beautiful evening and a bit quieter. The food was excellent. From the chicken bites app to the pork shop and Salisbury steak, it was al delicious and well prepared. It would be a 5* if it wasn't for the service. Nice and friendly, just slow. Drinks came after the appetizer, had to ask for silverware after the meal arrived. I ordered a second beer and it took so long we asked to cash out before it came. We will try it again - perhaps it was just an off night. Might be one of our favorite places in Los Gotos if the service is better next time. read more

Came here with my girlfriend a few time and it was such a phenomenal experience. The restaurant has a classy, upscale feel that is perfect for date night. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. We got the pasta and pork spare ribs with rice. The highlight of the night was the pork spare ribs because it reminded me of home cooked meals from my youth. I was surprised by the variety of cuisines they offer (American, Vietnamese, Mexican) but they're all really tasty. Can't wait to come back read more

Came in at 7pm with a party of 7 for a birthday. The waiter was clearly a bit busy. He got to the table around 7:15 and said he needs a couple minutes. He finally took drink orders at around 7:25. It got to 7:40pm and we did not have drinks. Finally we got up and asked the female manager with tattoos what is going on. She rudely told my mother the drinks have been in for 10 minutes and "what is it that you want me to do" with the kind of attitude that just honestly makes you really dislike someone and get the vibe they are speaking to you like they are irritated they even have to deal with you. Finally got the drinks but honestly was really disappointed by the attitude of the manager. She spoke to us and looked at us like we were these entitled people who just couldn't wait. I am a waiter and my mom was one for 10 years. We get the industry. we tried to be nice and courteous but at some point you have to speak up a bit... Food was good. But what's the point if you have some manager who looks at you like entitled mf's she has to deal with read more

Shepherd & Sims has been on my list to try for over a year now. I finally made reservations and had a fantastic dinner with my partner and friends. My overall score for the food is 4 stars, but the outstanding customer service deserved a full 5-star rating. I can't recall our waitress's name, but we all appreciated her friendly service and warm attitude. It truly enhanced our first visit. The other staff members were also very kind. We were even bid farewell as we left, with a staff member holding the door open. Impressive! APPS * Oysters: we ordered a variety for apps. Delicious! Enjoyed the sauces: sangrita, cucumber mignonette, smoked cocktail sauce. * Heirloom Tomatoes: melons, burrata, mint, orange zest, pomegranate syrup, lemon oil. It was refreshing and light. * Ceviche*: local catch (scallops), lime, onion, tomato, cucumber, pico de gallo, salsa macha, blue corn tostada. This appetizer was delish! Well balanced. The blue chips paired well. MAINS * Baby Back Ribs: Korean BBQ sauce, sesame, pickled cucumber salad, cilantro. I ordered this and absolutely enjoyed every bite. The meat was tender and slid off the ribs. However, they were slightly over. * The Only Burger That Belongs On The Table: American cheese, bacon jam, crispy onion string, awesome sauce, pickles, lettuce. My partner ordered this, and I had a bite. It was tasty. A good old burger. Can't go wrong with it. * Flannery Dry Aged Chopped Steak: garlic mashed potatoes, mustard, pickled ramp sauce. My friend ordered this and devoured it. I can safely say it was tasty. * Mafaldine: Jim's Bolognese family recipe of ground beef and pork, Grana Padano. My friend ordered this and ate half since we had quite a few apps. She enjoyed it and only had positive feedback. She boxed the other half for lunch the next day. Overall, a great restaurant in Los Gatos to savor a tasty meal. read more

This is a long overdue review of Shepherd & Sims. They are located in the Cornerstone of Los Gatos Plaza and has ample parking available. The decor is nice, modern, and bright and cheery. Inside and outisde dining options to choose from. They have a nice full bar. We stopped in with friends for a bite to eat. *Cauliflower: cardamom tea infused, vadouvan curry lentils & chickpeas (no pic, 3/5). The flavors were good but not as tender as we had hoped. Also, the portion size was small, it was a quarter of a head of Cauliflower. *The Only Burger That Belongs On The Table: American cheese, bacon jam, crispy onion string, awesome sauce, pickles, lettuce, French fries (no pic, 3.5/5). Pretty good, seasoned well, decent burger. *Empanadas (no pic, 4/5) - various fillings like chicken, mushroom, cheese & jalapeño. read more

Absolutely BEST dining experience I've ever had! The ambiance was good, not too loud, not too quiet. The food was AMAZING and there were a good variety of choices to choose from. The red wine we got was also smooth (great suggestion from one of the workers). The dishes had a lot of flavor and were perfectly cooked. The staff were very nice as well. They made sure to check up on us and took our old dishes away and gave us clean and new dishes. Thank you so much Shepard & Sims! I highly recommended this place for big group events, date nights, one on ones, and any friend get togethers. read more

Was here for a birthday celebration and this place is pretty nice inside and clean. You can totally dress up or be a bit more casual without an issue. They have a bar with a huge TV and happy hour everyday so if you're close by, would be a great place to grab a drink and a bite. I ended up getting a wedge and the scallop risotto and both were excellent. I always like a wedge salad and the scallops had a great sear and the risotto had a ton of mushrooms and well cooked. Service was really nice and the servers always came to check on us and fill up our water. read more

Great overall dinner! They have a great overall wine selections and excellent fresh oysters. Our waiter was solid as well. Sitting outside was great too, but the interior looked groovy. I would go again! Actually had real Tokaji! read more

Wife and I are here and we both loved this placed. We ordered empanadas, fried chicken, the burger, and beet burrata salad. All there were delicious. Fried chicken and empanada were both seasoned well and flavorful. Burger was amazing and would order everything again. The beet salad was one of the better ones I've had. I loved the lemon "coulis", which added the perfect acidity and pop of flavor. Perhaps a couple more slices of pear, but that's nitpicking - this was a perfect beet salad. We will definitely be back. read more

Second visit to Shepherd & Sims, this time for dinner. Service - since we had a reservation, the host seated us right away -- initially in the noisier bar area but I asked if we could sit on the other side which was much quieter, and he seated us over there. Waiter was also attentive and explained the specials, checked on us several times. Food - I was disappointed that they were out of their delish empanadas (which I had at HH last month) but the Coconut Shrimp were really good. For dinner my husband had one of the specials, a rabbit ragu on fettuccine. He really enjoyed it, I'm not such a fan of rabbit but I had a taste too. I had the Cauliflower gratin which was really good with cheese, good spices and sauce. My Cosmo was also as good as I remembered from HH. For dessert we had the pear tart with Caramel gelato which was a delicious finish to the meal. We'll be back. For quieter seating, ask to be seated on the other side of the restaurant from the bar. read more

I have been a loyal customer of Shepherd & Sims since they opened, and I'm writing this review in the sincere hope that the owner will read it and take these concerns seriously. Shepherd & Sims has a great menu and has the potential to be one of the better restaurants in Los Gatos. Unfortunately, after dining here for years, I believe the biggest problem is consistency--both in the kitchen and in the service. The staff seems to change constantly, service is unpredictable, and the quality and preparation of the food can vary dramatically from one visit to another. Today, Labor Day, was a particularly disappointing example. My husband and I had a 12:30 PM lunch reservation. I ordered a well-done hamburger in a lettuce wrap, and we ordered a salad to share with blue cheese dressing. My husband ordered the strip steak with fries. His steak arrived, but neither my hamburger nor our salad did. Eventually, I learned that my hamburger had apparently been forgotten and had to be reordered. By the time it finally arrived, my husband was already halfway through his meal--and when I cut into my hamburger, the meat was raw even though I had specifically ordered it well done. I sent it back and then waited approximately another 40 minutes for the replacement. During all of this, our salad still had not arrived. When my second hamburger finally came, I once again had to ask someone to please bring us the salad. This simply should not happen at a restaurant at this price point. What makes it particularly frustrating is that Shepherd & Sims should be operating at the same caliber as Wine Cellar in Los Gatos. Their prices are comparable, yet the difference in execution is significant. At Wine Cellar, we consistently receive excellent service and well-prepared food. The restaurant seems organized, the staff attentive, and the meals reliably prepared. I believe the responsibility for creating that kind of consistency ultimately starts with ownership and management. Managers need to be managed, servers need to be properly trained and retained, and the kitchen staff needs clear standards so that the same dish is prepared correctly every time. Something else really stood out to me today. Shepherd & Sims should have been packed for Labor Day lunch, yet the restaurant was surprisingly empty. Meanwhile, even Happy Hound across the street was full, with customers lined up outside. That contrast should be a serious signal to ownership. I am not writing this because I want Shepherd & Sims to fail--quite the opposite. I have been coming here since the restaurant opened because I want to like it and I want it to succeed. The menu is good, the location is wonderful, and the restaurant has tremendous potential. But potential isn't enough. Shepherd & Sims needs consistent food, consistent service, better staff training and stronger management. I sincerely hope the owner pays attention to what longtime customers are experiencing, because this restaurant could--and should--be so much better. read more

Am I not correct in assuming that happy hour is supposed to be reduced prices on drinks and maybe food? So I called the place up interested in how much happy hour oysters are ..he tells me they're 4 dollars a pop. I'm like 4 dollars at happy hour? Yes ..those aren't happy hour prices for oysters. People don't necessarily expect a dollar or even 2 maybe 250 each or 3 tops but 4??certainly that's not a good deal at all.happy hour or not... who pays close to 50 bucks for a dozen oysters ? not even high-end restaurants charge that much well maybe a few read more

I visited this restaurant on a Saturday afternoon before happy hour so it was not busy at all. There are both indoor and outdoor seatings. 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. My favorite dishes: Vietnamese pork rib tips: the meat was tender and just with enough sweet and savory. The rice and veggies were a nice touch to help balance out the flavorful meat. 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. I tried them all and personally I think they were all great. The other dishes rigatoni, and steamed curry mussels. I think they were all fairly tasty. Service was wonderful!!! The waitress for our table was very attentive. Definitely will come again for happy hour or dinner. read more

Visited here for Saturday brunch. We got the rigatoni, pork sandwich, potato rosti with smoked salmon, and grandmas suon kho. My favorite dish was the suon kho! The meat was so juicy, tender, and well seasoned. Paired perfectly with a tangy carrot slaw and topped with fried shallots. Would definitely get this again. The mussels in curry were yummy too. The crispy bread perfectly absorbed the curry broth. read more

We were a big fan of Forthright in Campbell and were bummed when it closed. But we were excited to learn that Sheherd & Sims was owned by the same owner. We've come here twice and enjoyed it both times. Servers are friendly and attentive and we enjoy the food. My wife likes raw oysters so she gets the Sip and Slurp, and I always enjoy the One Hitter Quitter (burger with beer and a shot). Fries were crispy and light, burger was delicious. My wife also had the clams. They have Happy Hour from 2-5:30 and there was quite a crowd inside and out. They have a pretty large covered patio that's totally shaded - nice to sit out there and enjoy the nice weather. We really enjoyed our dinner here both times, and are really happy to have a good neighborhood restaurant we can walk to. read more

This is my third time coming here, and I always stop by on Sunday afternoons for happy hour. They have all kinds of great options on the happy hour menu, and it's honestly one of the best deals around. The place is always clean, inviting, and comfortable -- perfect for a casual weekend hangout. My recommended dishes: Chips and Dip: The chips are impressively thin and super crunchy -- exactly how I like them. Simple but so good. Oysters: I always order whatever oysters they have on special for happy hour. This time the oyster is sweet. My favorite dish: Chicken Liver Pâté: This is my must-order every time. It's creamy, smooth, and flavorful without being too strong. They nail it consistently. The only downside is that they charge an extra 3% if you pay by credit card, which isn't the nicest surprise. read more

Third time here. Consistently good. The space is well done, very stylish, which is nice to see, especially in this bland, strip-mall-y area. Food is tasty, service is good, drinks are quality, what more could you want? We'll def be back for a fourth. read more

My friend and I went here for his birthday since this is one of his favorite restaurants. We picked the hamachi tiradito to share. I chose the corned beef and hash and he ordered a steak salad. The hamachi tiradito came out and it was good. The smell was a bit pungent but the taste was decent. Our entrees came out and my corned beef and hash was one of the best I ever had. Decent chunks of corned beef and potatoes with some onions and peppers throughout. Also the poached egg with the béarnaise sauce on top just made the dish. We both enjoyed the meal Service was great and they checked to make sure we got everything we needed. read more

I had high hopes, but the food and drink just fell flat. The green salad was flavorless and barely had any toppings. The mussels were decent, but it was a small amount and it should clearly list that it is green curry. I wouldn't have ordered if I had known! The non alcoholic drink I ordered had tangerine and vanilla. It was honestly just scented soda water with a little orange coloring. Overall, I was just underwhelmed by the entire experience. read more

Came here on Christmas Eve with family and the warm atmosphere, good food and friendly staff really made the day. :) Food: Tuna tostada 4/5 Decent amount of tuna and the sauce has a nice kick to it! The peanuts and guacamole also complimented Curry mussels 4/5 Delicious, sweet and the mussels are very throughly washed so you don't worry about any grit. Chicken pate 4/5 Overall a sweet and savory dish that leans more into the sweetness. The toast is perfectly toasted and the hazelnuts adds a nice crunch! It feels like a Christmas appetizer. Salad 5/5 The MEAT IS ACTUALLY COOKED MED RARE. That was a great and pleasant surprise. The onions were soaked in water before so there isn't too strong of an onion taste ( good) but you get to enjoy all the crunchiness. The barley also adds fun texture. This salad is definitely a favorite and I can't wait to come back. Service: Attentive and fast! All the dishes came out quite quickly as well. Ambiance: Well decorated and welcoming. A place for all social occasions. read more

Great atmosphere, located at a place where you can have a nice walk after dinner. Seems like they had both indoor and outdoor seating. Food was great, but nothing stood out.

Had the chance to visit a few weeks back for a birthday dinner, and it was an awesome time! Highly recommended, especially if you like happy hours. If you didn't know, Shepherd and Sims is in the same restaurant group as The Table, The Vesper, and Forthright (RIP). If you're used to the menu at those places, this one will have a similar vibe, in a good way. Food is seafood centric, but also has some great land-meats on the menu. We mostly got happy hour stuff so here are my thoughts on some of those items. I'll definitely be back to try more things off the dinner menu! * Happy hour burger / one hitter quitter - a classic as always. Great deal for a big tasty burger, and throw in a pint of beer and a whiskey shot. * Steamed clams - really nice. Light, simple, great wine sauce. * Steak tips - tasty little steak bites in a pretty classic red wine sauce! Our waitress was super attentive, great with recommendations, and checked back on us quite a few times (including right before happy hour ended - good looking out.) Oh and the drinks are all awesome as well. read more
