    I brought three out of town friends here for dinner last night. As usual, the menu was new and creative so I couldn't recommend many things except to say I've never had a bad dish or cocktail there. We asked the server for her opinon of the best items on the menu and proceeded to order 4 appetizers, 4 mains and desert to share using many of her recommendations. Each dish we had were some of the best any of us have ever tasted with a fantastic combination of presentation, textures and tastes. Thanks to Lex House not only for not only representing yourself so well, but for showing off how great a food experience Los Gatos can offer.
