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!

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.

Awesome as always. I can't think of any restaurant as creative a menu and as excellent in execution that doesn't have a Michelin star. Wake up Michelin man!

Lexington House is always an amazing meal, the staff is fantastic, the food is amazing. We went for the Monday Family Meal, the chicken nuggets have the best texture I've ever had out of fried chicken, and the light heat from the Nashville seasoning is fantastic. Everything was very tasty and very chill on this Monday menu. Their regular menu changes, but I've never had a bad or even ok meal here. It's always been amazing.

We went with another couple (their first time) and they (like we always are) were beyond happy with the food and cocktails. Everything we ordered was unique and deliciously tantalizing. We love The Lex!!

Great food and cocktails. Some inconsistency in the size of the plates so ask which are larger and smaller for sharing. Everything was delicious. We will definitely go back
