New Orleans inspired cuisine.  Cozy neighborhood establishment. Enjoyed the gumbo and hush puppies.  Fried chicken was good, although the accompanying mac n cheese was actually macaroni salad.  Beignets will definitely satisfy any sweet tooth .  Staff were friendly and helpful.

Very cute and cozy New Orleans themed restaurant. Service was excellent. Food was fresh and tasted delicious. Drink menu was amazing as well. We went during happy hour and they had some great deals like the Creole fries and cup of gumbo. I highly recommend the red beans and rice, hush puppies and the beignets!
Only downside was I’m pretty sure my daughter’s boyfriend got food poisoning from one of the oysters but other than that we have zero complaints, we will be back!

've always wanted to visit this place and finally had the chance. I was very surprised at how small the menu was, but I still managed to order some really delicious dishes: fried oysters and amazing fried chicken! For dessert, I had Beignets, which were delicious.

For a one-time visit, this place is really good. It seems more suited for people who enjoy socializing and drinking.

Gumbo is the reason to come here along with the rosé. The Bywater in Los Gatos, CA, is a Michelin guide restaurant known for its New Orleans-inspired cuisine, but based on my recent visit, it didn't fully live up to its reputation, especially considering the steep price.

I dined on the patio, which, despite the pleasant outdoor setting, was marred by a persistent problem with flies. This distraction significantly impacted the overall dining experience, making it difficult to fully enjoy the meal.

The evening began with a glass of Gassac Rosé ($15), which was delightful, light, and crisp—an ideal start to the meal. The cup of gumbo ($11) that followed was rich and flavorful, packed with the deep, smoky notes you'd expect from a well-crafted gumbo. It had just the right balance of spice and heartiness, setting very high expectations for the rest of the meal.

The watermelon poke ($14) was a refreshing and innovative take on a traditional poke, with the sweetness of the watermelon contrasting beautifully with the savory elements. This dish was a standout, showcasing the kitchen's creativity and ability to balance flavors in a unique way.

Unfortunately, the meal took a downturn with the market fish ($38), which was the most expensive dish of the evening and the most disappointing. The fish itself lacked the crispy exterior that typically enhances texture, leaving it somewhat limp and underwhelming. The broth accompanying the fish was bland and unmemorable, failing to elevate the dish in any meaningful way. Additionally, the grits served alongside were unusually large-grained, which made for a less enjoyable texture than the creamy, smooth grits one might expect. This dish felt like a significant misstep, especially at its price point.

The meal concluded on a high note with the beignet ($12), which was light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet. It provided a comforting, satisfying end to the dinner and reminded me why The Bywater has earned its spot in the Michelin guide.

Service throughout the evening was attentive and professional, which helped to somewhat offset the issues with the food. However, the presence of flies on the patio was a major distraction that detracted from the overall experience.

The bathroom was nice except the faucet needs to be replaced or deep cleaned. Photos attached.

In summary, while The Bywater excels in certain areas—particularly with its innovative starters and excellent service—the inconsistency in execution, especially with the main course, and the environmental issue of flies on the patio make it hard to justify the high cost. At over $100 for a solo meal, I expected a flawless experience, but the reality fell short. For those considering dining here, I would recommend sticking to the appetizers and desserts, which seem to be the restaurant's strengths, and perhaps opting for indoor seating to avoid the fly problem.

Förrätter med smak av Louisiana och Fräscha Skaldjur

Börja ditt besök med utsökta förrätter som erbjuder en blandning av texturer och smaker. Räk- och avokadosalladen är fräsch och krispig, medan de friterade räkorna och ostronen lockar med sin gyllene, kryddiga yta och saftiga insida.

Skaldjursälskare kan njuta av Crab Po Boys och Shrimp Po Boys – smörgåsar fyllda med färska skaldjur, krispig sallad, tomat och en len remouladesås som binder ihop smakerna. För en mustig upplevelse är Gumbo Ya Ya ett måste, en fyllig gryta med skaldjur, korv och okra, kryddad till perfektion. Vegetariska alternativ saknas, men de köttälskande kan njuta av rätter som Pulled Pork i smörgåsform eller de mustiga Short Ribs, både i traditionell och gratinerad Parmentier-version.

Dessert och Sötsaker som Avslutar Perfekt

För den som älskar sött är Pot De Crepe en charmig avslutning – tunna crepes med rik choklad och fluffig vispgrädde som smälter i munnen. Beignets är en annan höjdpunkt, lätta och luftiga friterade bakverk som garanterat tillfredsställer sötsuget och för tankarna till New Orleans gator.

California

We absolutely loved our meal at The Bywater. We had high hopes and were still blown away by everything. Our favorite was definitely the shrimp po boy, but the hush puppies and gumbo were both delicious as well. Will for sure be back!

This was written in 2020? Came back Fall of 2025 Excellent and worth the drive. R3d beans and rice Gumbo Yaya ! Fried chicken sandwich #Coffee is great! Beignet s cinomen out to edge auger sifted $102 with two drinks

I'm working my way through my Michelin Bib Gourmand list, and The Bywater is next up. Upon entering, there's a vintage New Orleans vibe. There's 2 outdoor seating areas, both a bit rustic compared to the inside space. We came for lunch, and today the clientele were mostly seniors (which is cool with me). We had the lunch special, which includes a po boy of your choice, fries or salad, and a drink. We also tried a couple of other classic Nola dishes, which we really enjoyed. The food was more mild than I expected, except for the seafood gumbo which brought a little bit of heat. What we ordered: + Hot link sausage po boy with fries - surprisingly the sausage was not hot at all. It was a good sausage but not sure why they call it a hot link. The fries were incredible - super crispy with nice creole seasoning. + Catfish po boy with salad - nicely fried catfish with a cornmeal batter served on a roll that's wonderfully soft and fluffy. The only thing lacking was some pickles to give the sandwich another dimension. The salad was excellent with many different lettuces and herbs in a vinaigrette dressing. + Broiled oyster Musca - first time having oysters, and these were so smooth and juicy. The buttery crumb topping added a nice texture. + Seafood gumbo - finally something with some heat. This had great blacken flavor, lots of seafood, a little rice.

The ambience is very cute, vintage Louisiana vibes, the staff was respectful and friendly. We ordered a few items from the menu: the hush puppies (came out a little too deep fried, was lacking flavor. Could've redeemed the missing flavor with the sauce that came with it, but it was just maple syrup type sauce), the broiled oysters were yummy, and the pot de creme, though a bit on the sweeter side was pretty yummy.

What a fabulous little find! I had walked by here a handful of times and the name stuck out, but it wasn't until it was suggested to go here for lunch on Valentine's Day that I was pleasantly surprised to find a New Orleans restaurant in the heart of Los Gatos. We started with mediocre coffee but it's coffee. Would like to see an improvement on that but otherwise zero complaints. Fried oysters had a great breading. The cocktail sauce had a surprising kick of horseradish and was delightful The po boy was HUGE with so much shrimp, it was never ending ! Crisped to perfection and the ratios of ingredients was exactly what I wanted. Husband got the gumbo bowl and ate it all up! I'm pretty sure he would've licked the bowl if he wouldn't have been stared at. Can't wait to go back again !

Okay so now my newest experience at the Bywater was fantastic. My ideal meal anytime I go here now would be the starter of shishito peppers, the muffuletta, finished by the butterscotch pudding as dessert. The new item of shishito peppers are predominantly seasoned with mam nem which is like a fish sauce. Pairing this mam nem with subtle lemongrass gave vibes of Vietnamese cuisine. The large chunks of sweet pineapple that gave a nice acid touch to cut through the savoriness. The muffuletta is really a delight to eat. The meats, cheese and olive spread is such a flavor bomb. It has crispy crunchy outside due to being a pressed sandwich and a super moist interior. This is definitely something that's uncommon to find elsewhere at any sandwich places and thus a must try/have. Lastly the butterscotch pudding is great because it gives you the deep roasty flavor, not too sweet, and with the flaky salt makes it that much better. Fantastic music and friendly laid back staff that give a buddy buddy vibe. I would come back for specifically these items.

2nd time to Bywater- this time for brunch with our daughter. Everything was tasty a our favorites are seafood gumbo, shrimp salad, biscuit, andouille sausage and the beignets. Service was great! We really like the ambiance.

The fried chicken was MOIST and had amazing flavor...best this side of Louisiana! Fries were fried perfectly! Crunchy crunchy! Wife loved the fried oysters and shrimp. She's a Louisianan ! Now let's talk about that voodoo punch! Oy! Service was on point. Never had to look for our waiter. Good music and seating is comfy. Overall 9/10. Try em you won't be disappointed!

I'm pretty torn about this place! I'm such a sucker for shrimp and grits, but I did not enjoy the one from here. The grit had a nice texture, but I didn't really like the flavor of the sauce and the shrimp were a bit overcooked. On the flipside, the brisket was pretty good! Some pieces were more tender than others but overall I enjoyed it and the biscuit is delicious here! It's so soft and melts in your mouth! The crawfish Benedict was OK. Nothing too special about it and it doesn't even come with a side. Service was great! There's both indoor and outdoor seating which is nice . Definitely a mixed experience for me.

Still absolutely love this place. And just a reminder - this place is inspired by New Orleans. They're not trying to recreate. They're playing on common dishes and elevating them. I'm happy to see the chef is playing with some of the existing recipes. The shrimp and avocado remoulade salad is one of my favorite go-tos. They've added in some whole grain mustard. It's still horseradish forward, and the mustard kind of bridges some notes you didn't know were missing. The chicken liver mousse was back on special. I used to eat this on its own and just love when it shows up again. It had smoked cashews and rhubarb jam which complimented it perfectly. NGL I finished it with a spoon. We also usually get the rich man's red beans and rice which we always adore. It tastes a little like molasses is being added as there was a sweeter note. It was good. I still sort of prefer when there was more smoked pork and a savory flavor. But I won't turn it down. Finally, we had something new on the main menu - crab fried rice. It was heavenly good. Hubby couldn't stop eating so I reminded him about dessert. They use blue crab - I verified. I'm definitely a Dungeness gal, and I appreciated the different flavor the blue crab brought. This is the kind of dish we'll be talking about in a few weeks remembering how much we loved it. We got beignets because of course we did. And a slice of Manressa Bread Pie - which turned out to be like a pecan pie. But different. And amazingly good.it was the kind of thing you want to eat a little bit of everything together. It was well balanced. The crust was so different and worked so well with the pecan filling. And as always we were so well taken care of there. Their whole philosophy is that the right way is the way you, the customer, want it. We were checked in on without having someone hover. The food was well spaced and we never felt rushed. The music is always fun leaving us with something at the tip of our tongues and seeing who can get Shazam running the fastest. We always feel so welcome and comfortable at Bywater. And look forward to showing up when we can.
