'Review' - a new label.

When cooking reluctance meets famished tummies, a new label is born. Some restaurants provide an opportunity for the zealously driven cooks and gourmands to mingle. Here is my personal assessment of how good some of the local eateries are.

Review: California Cafe, Los Gatos

Sage Tea, Potstickers in the foreground. Belgian Waffles with Applewood bacon. Warm and toasty breads/muffins with butter. Mmm mm mm.

Vegetable fritata.

Opens on Sat at 11:30am. We were at the door at 10:57am. Got to choose a shaded area where we could park the stroller. Set in downtown Los Gatos with a view of LG hills, under the shade of an unknown yet huge tree, with a musician playing her guitar passionately but soothingly, California Cafe gets high points for service, ambience, taste and price. Anniversary brunch cost me $37 inclusive of tip. The Banana Republic across the street cost my husband 10x times as much soon after. My thumbs up for a place that is just 15 mins from S. San Jose.
