Hercules has great food and the service is the best. They have many draft beer choices. My favorite is the stout with the rich chocolate and coffee flavor. We ordered the shrimp fajitas and oysters. Very yummy.

There were four of us. Appetizers included salads and minestrone; dinners included the sole and lobster ravioli. Everything arrived quickly, very tastily prepared, and the right temperature. It wasn't very crowded upstairs, so we could enjoy conversation with our friends. Really like this place.

The only complaint we had was that we had the house red, which seemed off and it cost $18, so I thought that was overpriced. One more thing is that I might not go on Tuesdays anymore as there was a children’s birthday party and of course the kids were loud. I love kids, but it was hard to have conversation over the noise.

About the restaurant

A shared plate dining experience, The Lex offers modern California cuisine with global influences. Chef Ethan Carreon and his team shop 3-4 times a week at the Farmers Markets to offer an ever changing menu in tune with the many seasons of the Bay Area. The Chicken from Fogline Farm and The Lex Burger is a always a stand-out as well as our vegetarian & seafood dishes. Owner Stephen Shelton is the leader of the passionate & authentic service staff on the floor and heads up the well curated cocktail, beer and wine program. Our Patio Dining is a great option for dining or dropping in for a cocktail and a bite around the fire-pit, all offering great views of the hustle & bustle of Downtown Los Gatos. It is well heated & covered for the cool and winter nights (dressing warmly is still recommended). The dining room and bar is a hip, yet sophisticated vibe for date night, a special celebration or just getting together with friends or business colleagues...The vibe is always right!
