Editorial Review for Steamer's Grillhouse – by Laura Reiley
The Scene
The restaurant attracts a lively crowd for dinner, as well as after-work drinks. Young Silicon Valley professionals gather at the olive- and camel-colored bar, where they carefully sip cosmopolitans while checking out the cutie two stools down. It's a more mature crowd than other Los Gatos stalwarts like the Black Watch, but the air of romantic possibility hangs no less heavy. The main dining room is cooler, with bare wooden tables, wide open spaces and big expanses of stone floor.
The Food
Locals come for the classics (the house seafood linguine, shrimp cocktail, grilled fish). But order a margarita plus one of these options: the house chowder, a rib-sticking soup that packs a fair-minded number of chewy clams; malpeque oysters with a hint of cucumber; or a simple grilled filet of sea bass or swordfish.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoThe weekend wait for a table can extend to a staggering two and a half hours.
Where to SitThe noise level from the bar can make conversation impossible. If talking is crucial, ask to be seated in the smaller terra-cotta front dining area, or on the outdoor patio.

I've been here a couple of times for dinner and the drinks are generally good, but the portions for many of the fish dishes are small, and the salads can be on the bland side. If they spiced things up a little, and brought down the prices, might be better.

My husband and I, along with some friends of ours, went to Steamers one night after trying to figure out what new restaurant to try. I can't believe I didn't know of this place before. It was absolutely phenomenal! I dont normally order soup, but their clam chowder is to die for. For the main dish, I had a sweet pea and hazelnut stuffed chicken breast on the bone with creamed butternut squash and mixed sautéed root vegetables. I never order chicken when we go out, but this sounded so good! I wish words could describe how wonderful our meal was. The service was also friendly and the ambiance was perfect for a great Friday night out. I cant wait to go again!
