Farmstead

A literal take on farm-to-table: elements of the fixtures and furniture are actually from the restaurant's farm, Long Meadow Ranch, and the building itself is a former barn. LMR produces wine, make... read more

Go Fish

Despite taking its name from a children's card game, Cindy Pawlcyn's seafooder could be mistaken for a more serious place than it is. The mash-up between a classic oyster bar and a sushi joint toys... read more

Los Gatos Brewing Company

We generally eschew "brewing companies" because they tend to draw a night-ruining noisy frat crowd - thankfully not here. Atmosphere is warm, friendly and chatty and, surprise, chef Jim Stump is a ... read more
