Steamer's Grillhouse

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.

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.

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. Parking: It's the common parking for Los Gatos and is ok if you get there early. Otherwise you might be walking a ways. Wheelchair accessibility: Good, wide aisles and accessible tables.
