Forbes Mill Steakhouse - Steak house in Los Gatos - 206 N Santa Cruz Ave, USA

Honestly speaking- I wish I could give Nick a 10 star review. Let’s just say he puts the H in Hospitality. Last night we celebrated my fiancé birthday and boy were we in for treat. We even received a friendly reminder phone call to confirm our reservation and best places to park. I thought that was such a nice touch. When we arrived Nick greeted us with a warm smile. He also asked if it was our first time dining at Forbes and welcomed us to the restaurant and said I’m happy to answer any questions. He was extremely knowledgeable, he was kind and the service he provided was unmatched. We visit several steakhouses, but it was his bubbly personality and kindness that made us feel so welcome and the food was amazing!! The steaks were like butter and the sides were the icing on the cake, we got cream spinach, sautéed mushrooms and asparagus, we loved every drop lol!! We also asked if he could take our picture for memories and he said of course! I know the perfect area near the wine. Nick it’s because of you Forbes now have a customer for life and I plan to tell as many people as I can about this Steakhouse! Nick you are incredible and thanks helping making my fiancé birthday unforgettable!

This place needs to be good for what they charge for the food. Meets are good and you can find better places in the Bay Area. Sides are the best part in this place. Potatoes and spinach are the best Thing better. Service is good could be better. They have tables outside and they are pet friendly. They a really good wine selection.

We managed to get a late booking here, and boy was it worth it. Incredible steaks, with delicious sauces and sides. There's a great wine list with plenty by the glass. It is on the expensive side, but the ambience and service are really great. Our server Jeffrey was so fun to talk to, he really made the evening special!

We had an amazing dinner last night, the food was prepared to perfection, everything we ordered was amazing. The service was outstanding, you definitely felt taken care of. Looking forward to going back.

Great seafood or steak , portions is not that big , but great save space for their greatest dessert ! 2 people without alcohol over $200

This review is Based upon three recent visits. Have been fans of Forbes for many years. Consistently impressed with Forbes. Per usual, our waiter was very professional, smart, knew the wine list...( Great Pinot) Fact: Sat night is a busy night. We were with best friends and celebrated a special event. The meal (2: loved seafood Risotto) was so great. Cannot wait to return. Superb service.

A classy restaurant with good wines and good service. The appetizers and desserts were exceptional. We tried all the desserts amd there were none that we did not think it was amazing. Great place to plan for any memorable events

Disappointing experience both food and service on a Saturday night. Our family has lived on both coasts, the center of the country, and the south. We have frequented many restaurants similar to this across the country. We are pretty easy going and don’t leave reviews often, but we felt compelled to in this case as it was such a disappointing evening at the Forbes Mill Steakhouse despite the high quality reputation and reviews. We didn’t complain - just said please and thank you and paid our bill. We won’t be going back. Here was our experience. - Service: 25 minutes before someone came to our table to greet us and provide water to the table. Server didn’t offer a drink order, to review the menu, the evening special, or try to create a connection to the dining party. 100% transactional interaction. We ordered our evening selections immediately given the above and flagged someone down later to order a drink. Waitstaff was not present to order another drink during the remainder of meal service. Water service was refilled at the end of dinner. No one came to our table to check on the dining experience. - Food: Mains: 3 of us ordered the bone in ribeye. All three were bland and unseasoned. 2 were ordered medium rare and were cooked drastically different. Meat quality was lacking - tough with sinew like strains throughout. It did not come close to the standard of certified angus beef that was aged for 28 days the website menu describes. Kids buttered pasta was dry and barely warm. Sides: Mac & Cheese had good flavor, but the noodles were overcooked. The dish was covered in a clump of half melted cheese rather than a crispy top shown in some of the reviews photos here. Neither the mac & cheese nor the au gratin potatoes spent enough (any?) time in the oven/broiler to produce a satisfying crust. Mushrooms were cooked unevenly which was likely due to inconsistent size / cut. Brussels sprouts were decent. Dessert: We didn’t bother. Other: The menu posted on their website is well out of date both in terms of offerings and price. This place has a great reputation and we were looking forward to a great meal and experience. Our experience indicated they are relying on their reputation rather than execution & delivery. Poor front end service, poor kitchen quality, poor customer engagement … all combined suggests poor management … which likely explains how a restaurant of this class doesn’t manage to keep the menu current on its website current. There are many better options to chose from in the area.
