Tapestry A California Bistro

Nice Little Friendly Neighborhood Bistro

I am not a big fan of the ambiance. I usually like the intimate vibe of the smaller restaurants. However, the tables at Tapestry were so close together I almost felt like I was having a double date with the couple sitting next to us. That alone made this restaurant a less than 4 stars establishment.

The food is a notch down compare to other finer diners at Los Gatos neighborhood and the price reflects this. This is probably not the best choice for a romantic special occasion dinner. It might not be a bad choice for casual night out.

• Cons: Mediore Food

great food, service and wine

by travelagentRN at Citysearch

Sunday, July 26, 2009, we stopped to eat. The restaurant was empty and we were doubtful but stayed. The waiter was delightful and even when more people arrived, his attention was the same. The food was outstanding, cooked to perfection. The waiter selected a white wine (since we started with Champagne), it was a terrific South African sauvignon blanc. Kudo's to the chef and staff. We will be back.

• Pros: the best kobe beef tenderloin
• Cons: summer wasps

A great little restaurant

by Bryan26 at Citysearch

My wife and I have been to this restaurant twice, and both times have been great experiences. The wait staff has been incredibly friendly and helpful. We sat outside the first time, and I was accosted by a bee, who seemed to like their salad as much as I did. The waiter patiently tried to shoo the bee away. The food was excellent. I had a different type of steak each time and they were both prepared very well. The spinach salad could have been a little more interesting as it consisted solely of spinach leaves, tomato slices, and the pancetta vinaigrette, but it still tasted good. The deserts were excellent. I had originally balked at the idea of sour cream apple pie, I am not too fond of sour cream, but I am glad that I took the leap because it was excellent. My wife and I are planning on going back to this restaurant often, it has definitely become our new "date" place. I am truly surprised by the number of bad reviews.

Simply bad!

by Sandra08 at Citysearch

This was our first and last time at the "Tapestry". The wine is bad, first I tried a Sauvignon Blanc- ick, and after I had a glass of Chardonnay that tasted corky - The waiter took it away and told the manager or owner, I don't know this ignorant guy, but this guy tasted the wine in front of me without saying anything and put it back in the fridge! The food was disgusting, Linguine with a lemon sauce, crab meat, corn, (usually they even add mushrooms, we could just avoid this) it tasted like leftovers just thrown together in the pan, apparently there was no time for grocery shopping.

We paid a hundred bucks and believe me - we should have given the money to the homeless, because that would have made us feel better and not worse after a long day of work!

These people don't know anything about wine & dine, my suggestion to the owners:

Look for another profession!

Great food and excellent atmosphere

Eaten at Tapestry twice in the last 4 months or so. Both times a great experience. Food was perfectly prepared, very well presented and the service staff very attentive. The atmosphere is also a great, especially the patio when the weather allows. Highly recommended!
