The food was exceptional and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere was enjoyable & friendly. We did not have a reservation but they were welcoming, and although we had to wait nearly an hour for a table in the dining room, they made sure we had a table in the bar at least to get drinks and appetizers. Many of the... More

Visited this restaurant with a colleague, who knew it from his past experience, and was pleasantly surprised. Despite the fact, that it was on Friday night and the restaurant was full, we didn't have to wait more than a couple of minutes to get a table and being served. The waiter was very helpful and efficient, recommending us dishes to... More

Stopped into this swank little spot in downtown Los Gatos for some delectable appetizers, a cocktail and a glass of wine. Everything was lovely except I missed the St. Michael's on the cocktail menu. Hope the saintly Mike will make a return soon--maybe spring? More

Cin Cin has become a personal favorite in the two years I've lived in Los Gatos. As their chef has become more skilled he adds his unique creativity to the menu and he is one to watch out for - truly talented. The bar scene here is lively and fun but it has now become a really great spot for... More

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Los Gatos. The food is really fun and often unusual and they feature great wines from around the world. The staff is very friendly. There are some good deals at happy hour. They change the menu a lot, which is great as you can try new things, but sad when a killer... More

The small plate samplers are well chosen, imaginative, and delicious. The "large plates" are substantial enough to share, and there's no filler to be seen (scoops of rice, heaps of pasta, etc). Service is friendly, informative, and efficient (thanks Liz); tables are well spaced and comfortable. Eclectic wine list has some interesting choices (e.g. Soter Pinot Noir, a seldom seen... More

We had viewed several local restaurant menus prior to our trip, and my husband selected this one. The staff was very attentive, we enjoyed the small shot of Gazpacho Soup, and the Ahi as well as the Korean Tacos, which were so tasty. We would return and try other entries, good place to go with a group and order several... More

The Cin Cin Winebar is tucked away on Village Lane, but its off-the-main-street location hasn't hurt its popularity one bit. You better have a reservation made before going there. We went with good friends in the middle of the week and the restaurant was packed. It says that it's a wine bar, but it also has a full restaurant menu... More
