Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Gilroy

My family celebrated Thanksgiving at Shepherd & Sims. We could not have had a better experience. The food was delicious and the service top notch! Thank you Sergio for taking such good care of us along with all the other staff.

I brought my parents here for Thanksgiving dinner, and it was a truly lovely experience. The food was fantastic—exceptionally flavorful, creative, and beautifully presented. We enjoyed the oysters, draniki (potato pancakes), short ribs, and a dessert sampler. The oysters were fresh and delicious, and the draniki might have been my favorite, topped with fresh herbs and smoked fish. The short rib was rich and flavorful—my father absolutely loved it. The dessert sampler was both inventive and delightful. We opted for the wine pairing, which was thoughtfully curated and complemented the meal perfectly. The staff was gracious, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. I haven’t visited their sister bakery next door yet, but after this meal, I’ll definitely be stopping by soon to try some of their pastries.

The cashew chicken salad was delicious! The lavender & lemon “Refresher” mocktail was a perfect accompaniment. We arrived at 11:30 and it was nice and quiet. It became more loud and lively as the place filled up. Tip: It is one of the few local restaurants open on Monday, so a reservation is a must! Parkside remains one of my favorite lunch spots. 👍🏻

We had an absolutely wonderful time. The whole experience was superb, from the moment we arrive the staff was friendly. welcoming and very attentive. The food was incredibly delecious andservic impeccable. Could not have had a better time. We'll definitely be back.

always a lovely experience. food excellent.. once we got going all was good.. they were busy so a tad too long to order cocktails, other than that all was very nice.. it is very energetic though.. in case you are looking for quiet
