A shared plate dining experience, The Lex offers modern California cuisine with global influences. Chef Ethan Carreon and his team shop 3-4 times a week at the Farmers Markets to offer an ever changing menu in tune with the many seasons of the Bay Area. The Chicken from Fogline Farm and The Lex Burger is a always a stand-out as well as our vegetarian & seafood dishes. Owner Stephen Shelton is the leader of the passionate & authentic service staff on the floor and heads up the well curated cocktail, beer and wine program. Our Patio Dining is a great option for dining or dropping in for a cocktail and a bite around the fire-pit, all offering great views of the hustle & bustle of Downtown Los Gatos. It is well heated & covered for the cool and winter nights (dressing warmly is still recommended). The dining room and bar is a hip, yet sophisticated vibe for date night, a special celebration or just getting together with friends or business colleagues...The vibe is always right!

    Been here multiple times and always had a good experience, unfortunately last night’s experience wasn’t great, service was disappointingly slow , the entree’s came out 20 mins apart , my wife only had a charcuterie board, our freind had the cassoulet( ribs) his came and I waited 20 mins for my burger….? By which time he had finished. The food was good but the service wasn’t up-to normal standards . It wasn’t overly busy . Our server was also tending bar so not attentive to the tables she was serving . A comment also made by another table . If you have the burger , it’s great but doesn’t come with fries or anything so make sure you add something.

    Great upscale place to impress your date :-) Tasty food (albeit the portions are on the small side), very good and accomodating service. Thank you!

    Decent ambience and vibe, but we sat at the bar and were basically ignored by the one bartender who was working and overwhelmed with work. Great burger, also recommend the fries.

    All good was good. Be aware it can take a long time and dishes won’t come out at same time. We ordered a burger and a steak for the mains, the steak came out almost 30 mins after the burger

    Didn’t love the food. And the wine selection by the glass was so small and expensive. Not my favorite place to eat.
