Outstanding, higest-quality fine dining. Ambience is lovely and energetic yet intimate in an irreverent, fashionable yet elegant setting.
Guest restaurant was Ocean from Portugal. Every course was a fantastic experience, with the “ocean pudding” and piri piri chicken being highlights, with many memorables such as the mushrooms and langoustine. The wine pairing was excellent, but the non-alcoholic pairing was outstanding and innovative with many custom beverages created by the sommelier and team. Ending with an edible Super Mario was a fun surprise. Big kudos to the team, especially for executing so perfectly far from home.

It was a wonderfull lunch today. The tutkey sandwich was hot, fresh and nothing but quality ingredients.
The facility was neat, clean and well maintained. The bathroom was also very clean.
Other than getting a parking space the entire meal was wonderful.

This may have been the best meal I’ve ever had. I know the crescent cake with vanilla ice cream was the best thing I have ever eaten ever in my life.
Update: while Manresa has closed, the staff of Ritual at Manresa keep the dream alive. Every month a new chef brings their creativity and excellence to share their specialty with those lucky enough to reserve. We’ve attended two of the recent meals and were amazed by both, but I was completely blown away by tonight’s trout and wine pairing. Absolutely sublime pairing.
If you get a chance and want to really treat yourself or that special someone, reserve a meal here. You won’t be disappointed .

Just got back from Manresa in Los Gatos – wow, what a place! The food was incredible, really ambitious and beautifully presented. We had a huge tasting menu, so portions were definitely generous, though pricey. It was super busy, we waited quite a while for our table. Parking was a nightmare, honestly. I heard some folks had issues with unexpected charges too, which is frustrating. Honestly, it felt like a special occasion, but I’d recommend booking way in advance to avoid the queue.

The winner in terms of best value for a Michelin 3 star restaurant in the Bay Area. Fantastic food in a relaxed atmosphere that seemed to not take itself too seriously while still being of exceptional quality. That is challenging. Too often service here can feel stuffy and overdone, but it struck a perfect balance of being cordial and convivial without being chummy.
The food represented an extremely fresh selection of local fare with truly delightful baked goods, breads, and small bites. The main courses were somewhat unexceptional, sort of blending in among the crowd – but none of us dining really minded. It wasn’t a strike against in any way. The plates themselves were playful without being overly gaudy, which I think reminds me of some of New York’s more artistic offerings in the culinary space.
Nothing felt out of place, although some flavors just weren’t very striking. The richness of savory dishes was subtle, artful, not aggressive on the tongue. Everything here wouldn’t offend a sensitive palette, and it felt as though the kitchen staff didn’t have to spend 7 hours on plating – like they do at some places.
I think it’s wonderful that 3 Michelin stars can settle here in the South Bay and that reviewers don’t REQUIRE more pretention. Manresa is delightful and if I were worth 8 figures I’d be dining here regularly, as if this was a neighborhood gem. Just a splendid atmosphere.

Manresa knocked it out of the park for my 40th birthday. We had an amazing seafood-driven dinner, course after course. The cuisine was phenomenal, the presentation was impressive, and the service was as good as I’ve experienced anywhere. It was a lot of food, but thankfully we were able to enjoy each course. The drink & wine pairings were also top notch. It was well worth the 3000 mile journey from Maine.

The dinner I bought tickets to was advertised as an Alex Atala dinner. A Michelin 2-star chef. I believed, like other dinners of this caliber I might take a photo with the chef, give him a gift, and possibly have him sign something. I paid $1,000 per person.
I was very upset to learn that Chef Alex was in Brazil. He is/was not present at the restaurant for his whole last week at Ritual. It’s like buying Taylor Swift concert tickets and her understudy’s understudy performs. It’s not the same, it’s false advertising. His sous chef was the one who was responsible for our meal.
I even asked to switch to a meal he was cooking, and was turned down.

This dining experience left a bitter taste in our mouths. Not because of the food, which was decent but certainly not great..rather the $860 per person cost was so far removed from the quality of the experience that we felt ill to have spent so much for a less than stellar experience. While some dishes were quite good, that only represented about a third of the dishes and drinks. The rest were decent, at best. Perhaps for someone who has never experienced fine dining outside of the US, this might be considered special, but to be paying 2-3 times the amount of Michelin star dining experiences in Europe while experiencing something less than exceptional…that doesn’t leave a great impression. Save your money and splurge for a truly great restaurant on your next trip to Portugal or France or Denmark or Italy…We’ve eaten at better establishments in all of those countries for less than half or even at a third of the price of Manresa. Oh, and the fact that we were only given the menu listing the dishes after the meal (so that everything remained a surprise…) how insulting and unclassy.

Intimate atmosphere, friendly, unpretentious service. Food was very good but not spectacular for my personal taste. Had a few memorable dishes like the salad called “Into the Garden,” and the dessert courses were amazing. I can see why this place was awarded 3 Michelin stars but my palette loves French/Asian fusion cuisine such as 1 Michelin star Gary Danko in San Francisco. Maybe my pallete isn’t a huge fan of French cuisine. But by all means try it. Their menu is seasonal so maybe you’ll have a different experience than I did.

Lives up to the expectations. Absolutely delicious courses. Each dish introduced unique flavors that I have never tried before. The service began a tad slow but reached good pace by the middle of the meal. Reserve three hours for the experience as there are many courses that will leave you feeling full if you eat too quickly.
