"Nice upscale place in DT Los Gatos. Love the rine selection and the service was delightful. We had a few starters, the labane with the black crunch rice was specifically great, so does the crudo. Their French fries are absolutely amazing."

"Tasting House is a Los Gatos gem with an excellent wine and champagne by-the-glass list, so perfect for a special night out or celebration. We sat in the bistro seating by the bar on a Friday — there is live music, so it can get quite loud as an FYI. The menu is from local growers but is very Northern European influenced, so be ready for some delicious, hardy dishes. The head chef was out sick for the night so we were unable to order the tasting menu, but the January 2026 bistro menu was quite fulfilling. To start, we had the crab roll (think lobster roll, but with Dungeness crab) and smørrebrød (a Danish open-faced sandwich with rye bread) with smoked sturgeon, including some exceptional wine pairing suggestions from the knowledgeable staff. For our mains we had the fish and chips and the wild boar rigatoni. The fish was moist yet flaky and crispy which paired great with the mushy peas. The ‘chips’ were large wedges of purple potato— good but quite dense. The wild boar was filling— some of the meat was dry while other pieces quite moist. The homemade rigatoni was flat (it’s fresh so don’t expect your perky round pasta) and a touch undercooked, but overall the dish had great flavor. To wrap up the meal, we had the sticky toffee pudding. It came out as a slice (dense bordering dry) covered in toffee and vanilla ice cream. The cake paired with the ice cream was necessary but balanced flavor nonetheless. We would give the restaurant a 4.5 (although you can’t give halves here) because the quality of the food is great, the staff knowledge of the wine is exceptional, but the attentiveness and attention to detail could use some work (spacing between courses, waiting a considerable amount of time for plates to be cleared, having to take several minutes to hunt down leftovers…that shouldn’t be the case. One time they didn’t even bring us our leftovers which was half of a whole meal..not cool). All in all, great meal and wine. We look forward to coming back and trying the tasting menu along with the impressive wine selection available."

"I will forever savor in this moment.....I was honored to have taken part in the artistic journey that is Chef Julian's tasting menu. What an absolute work of art! Worthy of a much higher price point and a Michelin review, this experience was like no other. I was brought to tears several times with how beautifully executed the dishes were. Each one, a gem in its own. Just when we thought it was over- there were more and more courses. It was a such a special moment that I didn't want to end. The service was some of the best I've had. This place is a 20 outta 10. Please go with an open heart, a willingness to be awed, and a great palette- both metaphorically and gastronomically. It's a deliciously moving experience.💎"

"The trade winds blew west and delivered a staggering breath of fresh air, the South Bay desperately needed. A clever and immersive journey of sensual palate-plays and texture-teasers. Each course progresses with more intention than the last. Cigarette novelties, followed by Herbaceous genius amplify a profound sense of being. Attention to detail, attention to people. Chef Julian and his team exemplify a revelation of elegance and witt - piloting the notion, of bringing joy to sophistication."

"I have enjoyed many delicious moments at the Tasting House, from a celebratory glass of champagne in the Champagne Bar to the Chef's Tasting Menu with clients and friends. A few days ago, I finally was able to experience their high tea; Tea at the Tasting House is a must! From the moment you arrive & are seated by the incredible hostess Cindy to the final touches, including a special thanks; prepare to escape to days gone by. Every detail from the tablescape to the menu, the grand piano being played in the lounge to the selection of teas served in cast iron pots from France, inspires joy and relaxation. The sandwiches & other in house made bites are delicious, the service impeccable, but not imposing and deserts....ahh! Move over Savoy-High Tea at the Tasting House has arrived; a hidden gem for all to enjoy."
