    My wife and I had a terrific Valentine’s Day dinner and drinks. The prix-fixe menu options were excellent. The oysters, tuna tar-tar, strip steak were done perfectly. The bread pudding was possibly the best I’ve ever eaten. My wife’s halibut may have been a touch overdone—but just a touch and that’s only relative to everything else being absolutely perfect. The service was prompt, courteous and pro-active. The atmosphere and large table in a cozy nook was perfect, too. Highly recommend!

    We had the personal chicken garlic pizza, which was really good and cooked perfectly. Also had the romaine gorgonzola salad. It was good, but too much dressing on it. The happy hour from 4-6pm is a good deal.

    I brought three out of town friends here for dinner last night. As usual, the menu was new and creative so I couldn't recommend many things except to say I've never had a bad dish or cocktail there. We asked the server for her opinon of the best items on the menu and proceeded to order 4 appetizers, 4 mains and desert to share using many of her recommendations. Each dish we had were some of the best any of us have ever tasted with a fantastic combination of presentation, textures and tastes. Thanks to Lex House not only for not only representing yourself so well, but for showing off how great a food experience Los Gatos can offer.
