If you're looking for pure Los Gatos this is it. It's fun. Not too crowded. Feels like what the California pizza kitchen wishes it could be. The bar... great! Good drinks. Consistent in taste and the service is fast. Two sips from empty we were asked if we wanted another round. One sip from empty the next drink was served. My only complaint was the AC didn't seem to be on or could cool the building. It was 92° outside so we were hoping to find some relief. It was not here. Oh! And who ever crafted the drink menu needs to research the original Trader Vic's Mai Tai. It absolutely does not have orange or pineapple juice. The original 1944 Mai Tai I oz fresh lime juice 1/2 oz orange curaçao ¼ oz orgeat syrup or Homemade Orgeat Syrup ¼ oz sugar syrup I oz dark jamaican rum I oz aged martinique rum Shake well with plenty of crushed ice. Pour unstrained into a double old-fashioned glass. Sink your spent lime shell into drink. Garnish with a mint sprig. The meal Food was great! We started with what I think is the best thing on the menu. The crab cocktail. Decent sized bowl of crab served with melted butter and cocktail sauce simple but great. Grilled fish. I had sea bass she had halibut. Desserts chocolate truffle cake & crème brûlée. Both desserts were good but the chocolate cake won out. It was rich and complex. Service.... Fast friendly and courteous. Music... There was music but it was faint and hard to hear. Noise level... at 430 no one was there i At 530. Place was packed and loud. I'd def go back.

Thoroughly enjoyed my Sunday afternoon lunch here. The atmosphere was lovely, the service fantastic, and the food delicious. I ordered the seafood linguine which came topped with prawns and loaded up with crab. I don't think it was possible to get a crab free bite even if I tried, it was fantastic! My mom went with the prawn blt and was happy with here choice as well. For dessert we went with the chocolate truffle cake. The first bite was just okay but as we made our way into the gooey and warm inside it got quite delicious. I didn't get a cocktail, but my mom did order one and when she thought the taste was off and asked if she could get a different drink, our server Tony was happy to offer before we could even finish asking. He was great throughout the meal, very personable and friendly. Looking at the menu before we came in sort of threw me off as I always imagined Steamers as an upscale fish house, and the prices, atmosphere and service are just that. The menu however seemed to have many items with sides I wouldn't expect to find paired with seafood, ie. beans and coleslaw. But alas, they also had more traditional seafood items that I geared towards. Overall I enjoyed my meal here and would come back. It is a little on the pricier side and does feel very nice inside so I'd probably save it for a special occasion over a casual meal.

The restaurant, like down town Los Gatos is quite posh and lovely. The service is super kind and amicable. Our server was named Tony, and he was super friendly. The food was really good. You can tell it is freshly made. I had the prawn BLT which is quite unique and surprisingly delicious. My only complaint was the bread they served was a little stale but other than that this place is solid. Overall, I definitely would recommend this restaurant!

Another yummy lunch at steamers. The fish is so fresh and they offered two different kind of fries. I tried the sole with shoestring potato fries. The fish had a lite sauce that was very, very good. Our waiter,Charles, was so nice to us and we really appreciated his sense of humor. Please note, this restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday for lunch. The interior is lovely and we plan to return but we need to save up some more money first.

Been coming here lately. Food is good but the kitchen service is a bit slow. When you're in a hurry, not a place to get lunch. It took 30 minutes for the food to come out. For a Pasta and a sandwich, it's shouldn't take that long. However, our waiter Charles was great.

The food really is okay , the appetizer is staple and the presentation of the food was alright too. What made it a 4 star ? The service ! This server went all out and all of them are super attentive. He knows the menu and the drinks really well . Called all the ladies in my table madame and the guys sir. The ambiance is great as well . I can see myself coming back. Yeyyyy

This is a great restaurant. The ambiance is a large restaurant with a quaint and warm environment. The staff was really friendly, and catered to everybody's needs. The food was delicious! My favorite was the braised short ribs! Our friends loved the steamers linguine. And the Rombauer Chardonnay, went great with the meals! Definitely will be back!

AMAZING FOOD! Pork chop and mashed potatoes with veggies and this amazing sauce. The Pork chop was huge and I needed to take part if it home. Husband enjoyed his linguine and prawns. The food was so good! Service was great by the waiter who showed us a few dishes as we mulled over the menu. Restaurant decor was very nice. It was packed so get a reservation for a weekend night. Prices are not cheap but they do have a Specials menu for the night. Full list of wines, cocktails and beer. Tons of parking underground and nearby. They have outdoor dining as well. I can't wait to go back!

(Update to earlier reviews) My wife and I ate lunch here today, arriving around 2pm. We were seated immediately. Our server was very helpful with the menu choices and our food was great. First, I must address the rumors swirling around town.... Steamer's is NOT closing. They are in business for the long haul. The rumors appears to be based on the fact that other establishments nearby have closed. Steamer's lease is good until the end of December 2024. They are currently in negotiations with the landlord to renew the lease for hopefully 10 more years. [This information is from the manager of Steamer's]. We are glad that the rumors are false! As usual, the food was delicious. We started with a half order of steamed clams ($14). The taste of the clams and the accompanying broth was great. I'm glad that there was plenty of bread to use to absorb the broth after we finished the clams. My wife had the Roasted Prawn BLT sandwich ($25). She ordered it only slightly spicy which was perfect. She said that it was a perfect blend of tastes of the blackened prawns and the bacon. French fries were included with the sandwich. I had the Blackened Snapper ($26), which was served with a nicely spiced rice and beans. The fish was covered in just the right amount of spices and was moist and delicious. Note that there is a 3.5% "Economic Adjustment" charge added to the bill. I don't mind paying such "fees", but it would be better if the menu prices included all "fees" built into the prices, rather than a surcharge. The fee was disclosed on the menu, but some people might not see it there. The restaurant's decor is nice, but I noticed that there was noticeable dirt on the tops of the arches, the crown moldings, and by the air conditioning ducts. It would make a nicer ambience if everything was cleaned. There is no sign of dirt in the lower areas where people are seated.
