About the restaurant

We, Hashiri Bettei Kaiseki Aoki, deliver the experience of “kaiseki ryori,” a type of Japanese fine dining which historically developed to be served in the Japanese tea room. The tea room, as a space, symbolizes the home of the Japanese tea ceremony, a simple yet transformative experience offering a pause in time to appreciate the seemingly small experience of sharing tea. As such, we’ve designed both the architecture and the experience, to condense an infinite expanse into an extremely small space.

The space is designed sans distracting elements. Lighting will be subtle and architectural details are clean yet warm. Designed to allow dishes to remain the focal point of the experience, our space represents the endless potential for an intimate dining experience that continues to linger on pallet and in mind well after the end.

About the restaurant

Grand Opening March 29th.

Pacific Catch is a WestCoast Fish House dedicated to delivering high quality sustainable seafood with a unique perspective. From the day we opened we've been mindful about where our ingredients come from and how to bring to life the vibrant flavors and feeling of the Pacific.

It's our commitment to our guests to keep things interesting, innovative, wholesome and thoughtfully sourced. That's why we've formalized our relationship with the Monterey Bay Seafood Aquarium's Seafood Watch, James Beard Foundation's Smart Catch and the Surfrider Foundation by becoming a partner and bringing on a director of sustainability to help steward these efforts.

We will be following the most stringent protocols on cleaning, sanitization, social distancing, and protections for employee health including temperature taking and the use of protective masks and gloves.

The restaurant wasn't very crowded for our early dinner on New Year's Day. The waitstaff were all very nice and helpful. I had the salmon burger, which featured a nice whole piece of grilled salmon fillet, cooked properly. The sweet potato fries I added to it should have been much crisper. I didn't like having a ton of cilantro in the sesame slaw, so couldn't eat it, since cilantro tastes like soap to me. There was nothing on the menu about the slaw being full of cilantro or I would have asked for a substitute. My friends enjoyed the small West Coast salmon bowl (which I'd recommended, based on having had it at a different Pacific Catch) that one had and the regular size Teriyaki bowl, which my other friend asked to have with tofu. He said the tofu was really delicious. So the food was very good, with the exception of the soggy fries and over-cilantroed slaw. I would imagine that when the restaurant is very crowded, it would get noisy, but since it was less than half full yesterday, it wasn't noisy. The booths are comfortable. It's good that the restaurant has several less expensive options (like the bowls and salmon burger) and also alternatives to sushi and sashimi, for those of us who don't like to eat raw fish. All in all, a pleasant and generally delicious dinner for the three of us.

Los Gatos

About the restaurant

Nestled in downtown Los Gatos, Polenteria serves up Italian cuisine, that is Celiac safe.
We are a small 22 seat restaurant, that is very intimate. With a European feel, many of our guests proclaim that they have been whisked away to Italy or France. We love that!

Many accolades from the SF Chronicle, and the Mercury News as well as Eater SF hail Chef Yvonne and her team at Polenteria for being on the cutting edge of the Gluten Free Movement, and more importantly providing a safe space for those with Celiac to dine without hesitation.

We are a small restaurant and therefore we do have a strict no show- cancellation policy. we need 24 hours or more. Please be considerate of this.

We thank you and look forward to being of service.

The food was great, and the service was spot on. We were there for lunch and liked it so much we made a reservation for dinner as my aunt who is gluten free was in for the Holidays. 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

We did a quick booking to have a family gathering there. The menu offers many choices to suit individual tastes, and the food was delicious. The ambience was more open and not so private, but it works well for our type of casual dining.

The carne asada plate and the enchiladas is to die for, also the spirits and homemade tortillas make a delicious signature. Plenty of tables, public parking across the street, take a nice stroll afterwards and you’d have a great night out.
