    Fantastic food, drinks and service. This is a great restaurant to bring the entire family. The braised short ribs are amazing. Also love the pizzas. I highly recommend giving Willow Street a visit if in Los Gatos.

    We come regularly to enjoy our 5* experiences. This time I would say six stars ... as I studied the menu before. My favorite choices (yours maybe a different choice) were beyond expectation, outstanding. Did I say we'll come back? Okay you want to know something not so positive: Teleferic Los Gatos should consider the lightning one space is dark compared to the other. By the way the service is great: thank you Sheila S.

The owner also came out to all the tables to talk to the guests and make sure everything was good. We will be back for SURE
