Uber trendy to a fault, 180 misses the mark with forgettable food and aloof service. You'll also pay a premium for the poor experience.

we had a spectacular dinner sampled appetizers main course and dessert service was outstanding and Nick the chief came out and met us The ribs were the best! Offered on a appetizer sampler platter so good my husband had them make it into a dinner. The meat just fell off the bone. Crab rissotto was creamy with lots of crab. Meatloaf was outstanding. Cant wait to go back. Would highly recommend it to everyone. Hard to find so park in back and

Noisy when the bar fills up. I plan to visit again, the food was good but I was disappointed by the wine selection. Too dark for me but it's supposed to feel loungy/urban.

Although the loungey decor is dark and oudated, the wonderful food and warm reception make it all worthwhile. Chef Nick Dufu (originally head chef at Cafe Marcella- and creater many of the dishes they still serve) is without a doubt the most underrated chef in Los Gatos, probably one of the most underrated in the entire South Bay. His innovative cuisine combines new American and classic French receipes.

Chef Nick Difu has developed some great selections on this California cuisine menu that changes seasonally. Really good food with interesting preparations but sometimes combinations a bit over the top. Good portions and his daily duck preparation is terrific. Nice atmosphere but a bit noisy as connected to bar that fills late. Service is friendly and with some exceptions trained. Bravo.
