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!

    My wife and I enjoyed another wonderful meal here. We actually went out on New Years Eve and had the price fixed 5 course NYE dinner. There were both vegetarian and meat options for all of the courses other than the salad. Everything was delicious, properly seasoned, and prepared well. We didn’t realize until we left, but it was a four hour dinner! They are known for their craft cocktails, but they also have a nice (although very small) wine list, and usually offer a ‘special’ wine by the glass option of something higher end that they will rotate through and keep new and different. The head chef is talented especially considering his age. Although they suggest shared plates, the menu is suitable for traditional meals as well, just be sure to mention to your server that you’d like the courses timed out that way when ordering. If you’re visiting from out of town, you’ll find a classically Northern California dinner experience with fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients. If you’re local, you’ll find a friendly conversation at the bar or with your table servers. Because their menu is seasonal, it is constantly changing every 2-3 months as their farm suppliers deliver what is most fresh. They have strong relationships with their farmer suppliers. Great spot and highly recommend!

    We were seated on outside in the Patio for New Years Dinner. The food was awesome and each coarse had options (including plant based) so we were all able to have our preference. The wait team was on top of it and we had a perfectly paced meal. Thanks for a wonderful New Years meal.

    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.

    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.
