"Happened by this lovely restaurant in an old victorian home in downtown Los Gatos on a sunny, cool Sunday morning. I chose to sit in the garden near a fire pit. It was quieter and more intimate than indoors which buzzes with groups chatting. It was close to noon so I ordered the roast beef sandwich french dip. The beef was quite tender and came with a tangy dijonnaise sauce on the side. Very satisfying and large. I took half home. My friend enjoyed the vegetarian omelet. Cappuccino was good and the service reasonably attentive and friendly. Prices were average for this area. Definitely worth a visit."

"Great atmosphere. I liked the Philly cheesesteak sandwich, but the coffee and corned beef hush puppies were not great. Overall, it’s a nice place for a weekend brunch."

"While exploring Northern California, I stumbled upon a truly enchanting spot: Gardenia in Los Gatos. Even without dining, I was completely captivated. The ambiance is pure romance — think twinkling lights, lush greenery, and elegant touches that make every corner feel like a scene from a movie. The photos and videos I captured barely do it justice… just wow. It’s the kind of place that instantly makes you want to plan a special evening. Though I didn’t get the chance to try the food (this time!), I was thrilled to learn they offer a full menu and a Sunday brunch. Whether it’s a cozy date night, a girls’ night out, or a celebration of something big (or small), Gardenia feels like the perfect backdrop. I’ll absolutely be back — and next time, I’m staying for the meal."

"Ambiance: A charming house turned into a restaurant with a beautiful, cozy vibe. The patio is lovely, though the tables are so small we could barely fit two plates. The bathroom is adorable. Customer Service: Staff were nice and friendly, making the experience warm and welcoming. Food: Fantastic! So many great options, with delicious drinks and outstanding brunch dishes."

"The Food was good we got a steak, the asparagus was so so, but the steak and the potato were good! We had a reservation so we were seated shortly after we arrived! Everyone was attentive and friendly The atmosphere, the inside was okay but we loved the outside and the potential this place has. We just weren’t such big fans of the music playing (it was pop music).We were just expecting something more classy to fit the visual. It would have gave it more of a charm.
