Had a mixed experience at this restaurant. On the plus side, the decor and atmosphere here is very warm, inviting, and elegant. The front desk staff is top notch and very welcoming. The cocktail I had was well made.
However the food left us underwhelmed. We ordered the trio of dips, garden pastilla, and saffron risotto. The dips were lacking punchy seasoning, but were not bad. However the waitress asked if we want more pita bread, and then charged us $5 for the pita. When she asked, I told her to give us just a half portion thinking it was complimentary, but she didn’t mention we would be paying and charged for the full portion anyway. The pastilla was well made, but the portion was small and it was not a composed plate. A little side salad or something to provide a bit of freshness would have been great. The risotto was the biggest disappointment, it was thick and clumpy, and under seasoned with nothing to break up the monotony. The waitress never brought us the hot sauce or harissa we asked for either. And then to top it off there was a 4% cost of living charge in the bill.
It makes me sad to write this critical review since I think the South Bay needs more high quality eating spots. Dar has a lot of potential, and I wish they would make some much needed changes to their food and service.

I have read reviews about this new restaurant in Los Gatos, which is amazing Bay Area city I frequently visit. It made it to my Sunday Funday list. I got to tell you, this place is so slept on. I couldn’t decide where to sit because the vibe was just right everywhere. My espresso martini was made with fresh espresso from an amazing Italian manufactured machine at their full bar. The bartender also agreed with me that Baileys makes an espresso martini taste better. I did not have any food but did have a second cocktail which was an espresso Old Fashioned, to continue enjoying my afternoon. I will be back and thank you to the bartender for the excellent Sunday afternoon buzz.

Came here for a mid-week lunch and was surprised to see it so empty. We were greeted kindly and were given the option for indoor or outdoor seating. The weather was favorable so we opted for outdoor in the semi-covered patio. Things we liked about the food & drink: lovely amuse-bouche lentil soup, varied wine list and choices by the glass, moist-cooked grilled meats, lovely sauces and dips. The one improvement would be for the dessert. (Lots of honey but not a strong pistachio flavor) Service was truly acting as host of a home, educating us on the owners, their intention and vibe. I can just picture this being a great dinner hangout. I would like to return for dinner.

Saturday evening nightcap with my 4 legged companion in downtown Los Gatos. We sat outside in their heated patio and enjoyed the evening with complimentary wifi. Thank You for wifi password Dar Restaurant and Thank YOU! to their bartender that night for the perfect espresso martini. We started with lamb riblets and finished with chocolate mousse. Restaurant was quit busy when we arrived and continued to stay busy as we left.

Dining at Dar Mediterranean is an exceptional experience! The food here is phenomenal, bursting with flavors in every bite. Their trio dip, butternut squash, and lentil soups are perfect starters, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal.
For the main course, the dry-aged steak and chicken are top choices. The steak, ordered rare to enhance the dry-aged qualities, is exquisite, while the chicken is perfectly prepared and delicious.
The service at Dar is outstanding. The staff is welcoming and attentive, they have the perfect balance between being helpful and giving diners space, making the experience feel genuinely personable.
In the summer, dining on their patio is a must. With shaded areas and heaters for cooler times, it provides a comfortable and uncrowded outdoor setting. The interior is cozy and intimate, adding to the charm of the restaurant.
I will definitely be returning to Dar and highly recommend it to friends and family. This place is a gem!

This place deserves more than 5 Stars! All around amazing place – food, service and atmosphere, so incredibly warm and welcoming. We were there for our annual end of year get together of close friends. There were six of us and all our food and drinks were absolutely amazing, the staff so helpful and friendly and they didn’t rush us at all when we continued to sit, chat and laugh long after our meal was done. Thank you everyone at Dar for being so welcoming and helping us make this a special and memorable evening. We will be back ☺️
Not to forget – excellent vegan and vegetarian options!

This was my first time in Los Gatos, and this restaurant perfectly matched the town’s atmosphere. It has an elegant yet comfortable vibe, and the staff was incredibly friendly and engaging. Even though I only sat at the bar and shared some appetizers, I felt like I could stay for hours with friends. I’ll definitely be coming back to try the full menu. This is my new go-to spot when I need to escape the city, enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, and unwind with great food, drinks, and service. If any place deserves a five-star review, this is it!

My family had a fantastic experience here for dinner. The food was flavorful and beautifully presented. We loved the dip trio, duck confit & branzino. The owner is super friendly and hospitable. Our sever Shadi created several custom cocktails that were delicious! We will definitely return soon for another meal and some drinks.

Took a client for a stroll in beautiful downtown Los Gatos and a client appreciation lunch at Dar Restaurant and received exceptional treatment like I did that first time I visited. We had BBQ prawns, beef meatballs with a sweet date jam, fresh pasta with a rich ragu of veal and beef. lamb gyro, chocolate mouse and special made to order KANAFEH. One of Israels majestic desserts…warm, sweet, crispy…cheese. I love the culture going on at this restaurant. Thank you, Dar team, for impressing our client.

I am a big fan of Mediterranean food and there are many restaurants I’ve tried in the past. I can definitely say Dar Restaurant & Bar is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants I’ve been to. The food is very tasty and the menu is diverse offering a lot of traditional dishes. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the pleasant mellow music on the background. The servers were very nice and polite. Whether you are planning to celebrate something or simply have a good time with your friends or family, Dar Restaurant & Bar is definitely a place to go!
