The exceptionally warm and attentive staff adds so much to this place, we felt like we were part of their family. And of course the food was excellent. The appetizer sea scallops dish is one of my all-time favorites. I had a double order as my main course, it was perfecto!

When we opened the menu, they had a three-course prix fixe menu with my roommate's name printed on nice paper (a special touch). We ordered: - 5 oz A5 Maesawa Wagyu Ribeye (5 stars) - 8 oz Filet Mignon - 16 oz Ribeye - Sauce Trio: Cabernet Demi-glace, Cognac Peppercorn, and Chimichurri - Bread - Brussels Sprouts - Orange Dreamcicle (tastes like one) - Jalisco Listo - Butterscotch Crème Brûlée The service was excellent, and the ambiance was great; the music had a beat that blended in well with the rest of the environment. The patrons were all 'business casual' or better. The food was cooked and prepared correctly. At one point in the evening, I was content and relaxed and didn't have my usual daily worries bothering me -- it was a nice change. We spent about two hours to get everything, and the restaurant was more full as the night went on (we were there 6p-8p). I recommend this restaurant for your friends, family, or colleagues to enjoy a nice meal and dining experience.

Forbes Mill had created a personalized menu just for us (Vito's 90th Birthday Dinner) that was inserted into their main menu. As we opened our menus, there was the personalized menu for us! My Dad loved that and felt so special. Such a great touch for Forbes to do and totally unexpected. The food is impeccable and the service excellent. Ambiance was ok/good and only could have been made better by having a city view/landscape and lights to look at but alas that is not the setting in Los Gatos. In any event, this dinner was one to remember and I highly recommend Forbes Mill for a special night out!

I loved how tender my filet mignon was from the crispy edges all the way through and how juicy it was. And what impressed me the most was how everything was not over salted. Everything had the perfect and most thoughtful amount if salt in it—just how I like it. Service was also very good. I’ll definitely come back here in the future.
