Excellent service that feels very personal, a good selection of seafood, all of which was excellent, and a reasonable selection of wines, some of which won’t break the bank.
The roasted mussels appetizer is exceptional. The scallops over risotto were wonderful, the Steamers linguine was awesome, and so was the pasta special.
We will go back.

Our server Charles was excellent! The food very good, I had the fish tacos One companion had the Burger and she said it was very good. The other companion had the Greek salad and she said it was great. Restaurant was clean and tables weren’t too close together, a plus in my book ❤️ The bathroom was clean and kept up. All in all it was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it ☺️

My wife and I have eaten at Steamer’s Grillhouse many times since I posted my first review 18 months ago, so I think that an update is long overdue. My original review was for lunch on the patio. This one’s for dinner in the main dining room.
I love their fresh grilled halibut, especially when it’s in season. Unfortunately, they don’t take it off the menu or give us a heads-up when it’s not fresh. At dinner last month (January 2023) our server said that the fish was fresh, but it obviously wasn’t. It was overcooked, dry, flavorless, and seemed like frozen fish to me. At least the organic mixed greens on my side salad were as good as usual.
My wife really enjoyed her scallops and risotto. The four scallops were plump, juicy, and perfectly grilled, and the risotto was rich and creamy. It’s a great combo, and she’s glad they added it back onto the menu.
Service has been mixed on our recent visits. It’s been efficient at times but occasionally slow. I realize that it’s tough to find a sufficient number of high quality employees these days, so I hope their service will get better in the near future.
The Matulich brothers have done a good job growing their family business from a small storefront to a large white tablecloth restaurant, and they’ve built quite a loyal following over the years. It’s been inconsistent lately, so I’m reluctantly lowering my rating from four to three stars. Nevertheless, we’ll continue to dine at Steamers… at least for now… with the expectation that it’ll improve.

After more than 40 years of consistently great food and service, this family owned and operated restaurant has earned its rightful place as a Los Gatos institution.
This review is just for lunch, but we’ve also enjoyed happy hour and dinner at Steamer’s. Their unique Shrimp BLT is one of my favorite items on the lunch menu. It’s made with oven roasted jumbo prawns and applewood smoked bacon and it’s served on toasted focaccia bread with a generous helping of fries. Other menu items that we’ve enjoyed over the years include the roasted mussels, fresh grilled halibut, tortilla soup, clam chowder, fish tacos and prawn tacos. My wife wishes that they’d bring back their scallops and risotto dish. I’m hoping for a return of their fresh Alaskan (instead of Pacific) halibut.
The dining room decor is looking a bit dated, and some of the upholstery has even gotten a little threadbare, but that’s all understandable given how restaurants are just struggling to survive these days.
Many of the servers at Steamer’s have worked here for years and their professionalism is apparent. This is a white tablecloth restaurant but the food and wine are fairly priced given the quality. Reservations are recommended, especially if you want to sit outside.

Friendly staff. Lots of room. They were following the covid protocols well. They also have plenty of heaters so we were comfortable.
The food is also pretty good here. We had three salmon, steak and the short ribs. They were cooked very well.
Good drinks selection as well.

We visited Steamer’s Grill House on a rainy day. After we were seated, our server Bill greeted us with a genuine smile and engaging conversation, instantly making us feel welcome. We settled on indulging in the Clam Chowder, Grilled Scallop, and Seafood Linguini.
The Clam Chowder arrived steaming hot, tantalizing our taste buds with its rich, flavorful broth. It was a perfect start to our culinary adventure. Next, we savored the Grilled Scallop, which proved to be a true delicacy. The scallop was expertly cooked, tender and juicy with a subtle smoky flavor. But the star of the evening was undeniably the Seafood Linguini. This dish, my personal favorite, was an absolute masterpiece with an assortment of delectable seafood, perfectly cooked to achieve a harmonious blend of flavors.
The combination of exceptional food and impeccable service made our experience truly unforgettable. Don’t miss out— give Steamer’s Grill House a try!

Excellent, service, food quality and presentation. Patio dining is perfectly situated off the street. Food, dessert and drinks are not over priced. Servers go out of their way to ensure your plates are just what you want.

I guess I don’t get it. I have been here three times and am always disappointed. I have ordered a fish dish, pasta and today, Caesar Salad with prawns. The salad I sent back. Minimal effort and maybe a whiff of dressing. I cannot believe how difficult it is to get a decent Caesar salad anywhere but this was the most entertaining. The prawns were amazing.

We dined around 7:30 PM on a Friday night.
Snap.. Service was extremely prompt.
We only waited 5-10 minutes. We sat at a table in the Bar area.
The Steamers were excellent!
Cocktails excellent!
The Short Ribs were excellent!
When in Los Gatos…go to Steamer’s.
Enough said!

I love downtown Los Gatos. Steamer’s food and service is always good. I love their outdoor seating area. Highly recommend this place. However, inside seating can be really noisy.
