Nick's on Main is a perpetual favorite among denizens of quaint Los Gatos. It's a place where local couples flock on date night... or any night for that matter. The banquettes lining the cozy room and intimate tables under the spiraling iron chandelier are almost always packed with regulars who chat with the staff (and Nick) like old friends. Reservations are necessary. The well-prepared American fare highlights local, seasonal ingredients, as in tender pan-roasted pheasant breast with creamy Tuscan white bean puree, grilled corn kernels, and silken sautéed wild mushrooms at dinner. For lunch, try the Kobe burger with braised pork belly and melted blue cheese. Finish with the buttery goodness of banana bread pudding, and you too will "trust the chef. "
