Reviews
We indulged in four French wines by the glass, all of which were wonderful, if a tad expensive.
Service was super friendly, and the ambience is lovely: an old brick building, with a great tall window frontage.
We’d return if we were in the neighborhood, but probably won’t make a special trip down there again (we live in mid-Peninsula).
Since taking over two years ago, the new owners, D’Avonny and Adam, have truly transformed this place into a gem. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality shines through in every aspect. Whether you’re looking for a lovely night out or a venue for a future event, this bistro is an excellent choice. Highly recommend!
Tasty appetizers (escargot & caviar toast)!
Boeuf Bourguignon and Cassoulet Avec Confit de Canard were ok
The food was all very tasty and is made of very good quality. We ordered three cocktails, and the three of us shared a salad, soup (solo for the hubby), a dozen oysters, bread service (our waiter gave us extra), steak tartare, two entrees (duck confit and salmon), one coffee and shared beignets for dessert; the total was $300 after tip and tax. Not bad for a fancy dinner in Los Gatos.
Our server was Charles and he was very attentive. The food arrived in a timely manner and he cleared the dishes fast, always checking in on us in-between.
Parking was easy. Lots of street parking but there are also nearby lots that require a short walk.
Would definitely go back.
We ordered a couple of classic French bistro dishes: poulet roti and steak frites. The chicken (served with pureed potatoes and broccolini) was ok according to my wife. Although I ordered my steak medium rare, it arrived well done. It was cooked properly after our server replaced it, but the steak was still much too thin, fatty, and gristly to command a $42 price tag. Paper-thin ribeye isn’t typical for this dish, so a different cut of meat might have made a difference. Ending on a positive note, at least the beignets (served with warm caramel syrup) were just right for dessert.
Service was ok, but not exceptional given that the restaurant was less than half full.
I was hoping to raise my rating from four to five stars. But based on our dinner, I’m lowering it to three stars (i.e. “average”). To be fair, Epernay has only been open for a couple of months so we’ll give them another chance sometime soon.
ORIGINAL REVIEW 6/1/2021: This cute little French Bistro is a terrific addition to the downtown Los Gatos dining scene.
We reserved a table for Saturday brunch and were seated promptly on their outdoor patio. I liked their take on a classic BLT, served on a croissant. My wife had Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon which she really enjoyed too. We shared a side order of perfectly cooked pomme frites. Food was priced fairly given the quality of ingredients. We lingered over a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc which we thought was a good value too.
We didn’t have a chance to meet the chef/owner Ty, (who’s also a sommelier) but it turns out that our very helpful server, Katie, is his girlfriend. Service always seems to be better when its all in the “family”.
It takes quite a lot to earn a five star review from me since it implies that there’s no room for improvement. A handful of wines priced for everyday drinking is at the top of my wish list. French press coffee would be a nice addition, especially at brunch. And it would have been helpful to know what’s on the chalkboard menu (visible only to inside diners.)
Epernay Bistro is located in the historic Beckwith Block at the former site of Billy’s Boston Chowder House. It’s small, so reservations are recommended. We’ll definitely be back for dinner, so stay tuned for an update.
I called in to order take out. I was told to stay on
hold. I stayed on for 10 mins and still nothing.
I decided to hang up and called back.
Twice, the phone went to voicemail.
I guess this restaurant has more business than it can handle. Good for them.
