Ritual at Manresa - Fine dining restaurant in Los Gatos - 320 Village Ln, USA

Good takeout options for those who want to enjoying good food in comfortable settings. Didn‘t require any reheating. The duck breast was really good.

The winner in terms of best value for a Michelin 3 star restaurant in the Bay Area. Fantastic food in a relaxed atmosphere that seemed to not take itself too seriously while still being of exceptional quality. That is challenging. Too often service here can feel stuffy and overdone, but it struck a perfect balance of being cordial and convivial without being chummy. The food represented an extremely fresh selection of local fare with truly delightful baked goods, breads, and small bites. The main courses were somewhat unexceptional, sort of blending in among the crowd - but none of us dining really minded. It wasn't a strike against in any way. The plates themselves were playful without being overly gaudy, which I think reminds me of some of New York's more artistic offerings in the culinary space. Nothing felt out of place, although some flavors just weren't very striking. The richness of savory dishes was subtle, artful, not aggressive on the tongue. Everything here wouldn't offend a sensitive palette, and it felt as though the kitchen staff didn't have to spend 7 hours on plating - like they do at some places. I think it's wonderful that 3 Michelin stars can settle here in the South Bay and that reviewers don't REQUIRE more pretention. Manresa is delightful and if I were worth 8 figures I'd be dining here regularly, as if this was a neighborhood gem. Just a splendid atmosphere.

This was an incredible experience, each dish was artfully and carefully crafted. Manresa absolutely deserves the 3 Michelin stars that it has. We also chose to enjoy the wine pairing, and it was perfect. I appreciated that even a saison style beer was included because it fit with the salad fantastically. We especially enjoyed the sashimi, the shrimp and morel mushroom dish, and the waygu dish.

Manresa knocked it out of the park for my 40th birthday. We had an amazing seafood-driven dinner, course after course. The cuisine was phenomenal, the presentation was impressive, and the service was as good as I’ve experienced anywhere. It was a lot of food, but thankfully we were able to enjoy each course. The drink & wine pairings were also top notch. It was well worth the 3000 mile journey from Maine.

Definitely worth the Michelin Stars. Service was excellent, attentive and friendly without being overbearing or aloof. Food was well proportioned and a variety of flavors/textures/and something always new. It is expensive, and some may dislike one course or another (palette is subjective and people like/dislike differently), as a whole it is a great dining experience

Lives up to the expectations. Absolutely delicious courses. Each dish introduced unique flavors that I have never tried before. The service began a tad slow but reached good pace by the middle of the meal. Reserve three hours for the experience as there are many courses that will leave you feeling full if you eat too quickly.

Service, presentation, and atmosphere get 5 stars, but we weren't overly impressed with the food. The staff were overly attentive and friendly, arguably the best wait service. The restaurant is small and cozy. While the presentation of dishes was stellar, we weren't overly impressed by the menu. Flavors were decent but nothing stuck out as memorable.

Amazing food, fantastic service. Very cozy and friendly atmosphere. Loved all food selections. Wine pairing and overall flavors were fantastic. Needless to say it’s an expensive place but if you have a special occasion, it’s very much worth it. A very memorable experience.
