Oak & Rye in Los Gatos is one of those places that instantly pulls you in with its cozy yet energetic vibe. The bar is lively, the lighting feels just right, and the staff know their menu inside and out. I started with a miso-inspired cocktail that was incredibly unique—smooth, savory, and balanced with just the right touch of sweetness. I followed it with a creative twist on an Old Fashioned, and both drinks were crafted to perfection.
For food, we shared two pizzas: the Jerk and the Commissioner Gordon. Both were absolute standouts. The crusts had that perfect wood-fired char, thin but still chewy, and every topping was layered thoughtfully for flavor and texture. The Jerk had a smoky, spiced kick that was addicting, while the Commissioner Gordon delivered a mix of savory and tangy that was just right. We also ordered the fried potatoes, and they were decadent—crispy on the outside, soft inside, and perfectly seasoned.
Everything here feels elevated but not overdone. You can tell the chefs and bartenders really care about what they’re creating. Between the atmosphere, the flavors, and the creativity behind every dish and drink, Oak & Rye is easily one of the best dining spots in Los Gatos.
