Our newly reopened Los Gatos location offers a completely reimagined and redesigned space by John Sofio (Delilah, Poppy) and a menu that celebrates today while paying homage to yesterday by Chef Julio Aguilera (Saison, Copas, La Urbana). Our beautiful hacienda in Santa Clara in a historical building at the heart of Silicon Valley embraces the rich history that put us on the map. Experience a legacy.
