michelin starred greek restaurant at losgatoshotel. it's a little posh but they are awesome with children. we brought 4 kids in and no one blinked an eye. my babies loved the lamb and octopus. dips were excellent.

maybe i am not the appropriate person writing a review for them but i share a sense of belonging with this place. the sole reason being our annual company offsite being held here every year up until the last.

the hotel losgatoswhere dio deka is, is in an upscale locality. losgatosin itself is pretty upscale hamlet near san jose and san frisco. we used to lodge here as well so starting from breakfast to lunch used to be the buffet spread they offered.

all in all food here is authentic greek as i have come to understand and the taste of course is exemplary. the use of yoghurt and minimal spices is what excites me about greek food.
the steaks are a stand-out and so are the freakishly awesome chocolate balls which melt right away once you pop them in your mouth. panacottas is the other recommendation.

my review is based on the conference lunch spreads only.

dio deka is an upscale greek/mediterranean restaurant in sleepy los gatos. the location of the restaurant was lovely – in the quiet almost suburbia like los gatos.  the restaurant is in the same building at the losgatoshotel, which is a nice romantic looking building.  it almost felt like we were somewhere in europe, which was perfect for a dinner out. menu is fairly simple – with about two pages of choices but not overwhelmingly so. there is also a nice offering of meats off the grill – rib eye, strip loin, lamb and even porterhouse. we ordered: silogy $14 assortment of greek spreads: taramas, tzatziki, ktipiti and tirokafteri i loved every single spread, typically i love chunky spreads but these were a range of smooth to chunky spread.  i honestly don’t know what is in
