We had a great lunch at Ladera. The food was delicious and the server attentive. We went with a group of 7, and everything was wonderful. I had the prawn and Beet salad and a cup of clam chowder. Everyone was happy with their choices as well (filet mignon, cioppino, lobster raviolis). Definitely recommend. The food won’t disappoint!

Four of my girlfriends and I just finished having dinner at Ladera, what a treat. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of food and service. I made reservations for a party of six, we ended up only having five for dinner hemce we asked if we could move to a booth and they graciously allowed us to move. The booth more comfortable and intimate. We enjoyed five entrees, three of us had the pasta special, one of us had the antipasto and another had the hamburger with fries. ALl of the meals were fantastic, delicious, fresh and hot. The dessert we shared was the special banana coconut with caramel dressing and ice cream. They served this dessert for years, it's one of the best! I recommend making reservations,we were there on a Monday night at 6:00pm and it was quite busy.

The food was amazing especially the truffle Mac and cheese, if there was only that with a melted layer of gruyere I would have been happy. The Wellington was made as requested and the puff pastry was buttery, flaky, basically just right. Of course we ended with NY cheesecake which was rich, baked cheese cake, not too sweet, the fresh berries gave all the sweetness needed. Left fully sasiated. We went again about a year later, the steak was just as perfect. The mushrooms were simple button mushrooms, just as delicious. I had a chicken sandwich this time, it was wonderfully spicy, really enjoyed the fresh tomatoes and avocado in the sandwich, might have been a bit better with thicker bacon or crustier bun to give some crunch or texture. The best part of this visit was Kyle our waiter, with highest recommendations and a kind demeanor when my wife spilled her spirit every where, he just switched us to a new table, focused on getting us comfortable and fed, cleaning up the mess in-between. Perfect service!

Ladera Grill is a very nice experience. Great food with excellent service in an upscale, modern, comfortable dining area. While certainly a bit more expensive than some other places, chalk that up to an amazing menu of taste sensations that are sure to please. Perfect for a first date, business gathering, anniversary, or just to treat yourselves to something wonderful. And don't forget dessert!

Was in the area on business travel, so this dinner was expensed. I took advantage and ordered the most expensive steak on the menu. I’ll start with the atmosphere and service. The restaurant was buzzing but there was no wait on this Monday night. The service was attentive and always approached with a smile. Didn’t wait long for the Cowboy Steak to arrive after ordering, but any amount of waiting would have been worth it. All 22oz were cooked medium rare as agreed upon with my waiter, and the quality of it was palpable. The sauce marinated on my taste buds, and was well complemented by the Truffle Mac n Cheese. The baked potato was tasty but nothing special. I cleaned the plate with difficulty, but well worth the food coma I immediately fell into upon returning to my hotel room. I dreamt of steak that night. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Wow. What a fantastic place to eat. We were driving through the area and needed a place to stop and eat. Found this and decided to stop in. Great decision. Staff was pleasant. White linen tablecloths. We had lunch, but I’m sure it’s a great place for dinner. Ordered the Cajun sandwich and the Ladera Turkey Sandwich. Came with fries. Both sandwiches were absolutely delicious!! We would recommend this to anyone wanting a delicious meal.

Upscale restaurant, you're going to pay above average prices but you're getting phenomenal food. I got the beef wellington im going to have to say it's one of the best I've had. Nice thin flaky crust, very savory flavor will definitely be back

This is a beautiful restaurant, incredible service, and the food is amazing. Locally grown & fresh. This is an excellent place to meet friends, hold events, enjoy on a date night. We have always enjoyed this restaurant. Very special conversations & memories we have shared here.

Great cocktails. Food was out of this world. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Well worth the monies.

Everything was excellent especially the service. Sandra was very helpful and an awesome server! We chose Ladera Grill for our retiree friendship dinner because of this. Thank you!

We were a party of 8. All the food served looked great. I enjoyed my meal. Service was a bit scant, but probably understaffed. I'd eat here again.

Perfect spot for lunch or dinner. They have daily specials and a great menu. They seem to really care about their food quality and creativity in their cuisine offerings. They also have outdoor seating. If sitting outdoors please be mindful of the proximity of the main street flowing through downtown Morgan Hill which could be loud due to motorcycles and loud car engines which could make the dining experience disappointing.

Great place the food is really nice and well served. Served with warm bread and butter on house. Ordered seafood linguine was outstanding. The lamb chops were good as well. One complaint though it was apparently under staffed that you had to wait a while for everything.

Bruschetta,eggplant Beretta were excellent. Had simple pasta again which was good too.

Ambiance is upscale, servers are attentive and entrees were on the larger side and seasoned well. Many options from salads to steak, chicken, pastas, specialty dishes like beef Wellington. Delicious desserts. Great place for special occasions.

After we arrived on time, we were seated and provided with menus. We then spent 26 minutes waiting for service. Patrons who came in after us were attended to before we were finally acknowledged. We addressed this with the server, Alfredo, who checked in with us. . He was apologetic and attentive. The caprese salad was perfect. My scallops were slightly over-cooked, but overall, the dish was delicious. The sea bass was very nice. Alfredo saved the day. We were 4 minutes away from leaving and posting a 1-star review.

Food was great. Service not so much. New York steak cooked correctly, pork Osso Bucco fantastic, Mary's Organic Roasted Chicken great. I think our server judged us and decided that we probably wouldn't be good tippers so based service on that. Not terrible but lacking for sure.

Edit August 26, 2025: Our last three visits have been so disappointing. The service is terrible, the portions are smaller, and the food comes out just warm. The prices are much too high for what we get. After coming here for many years, we will take our business elsewhere. 😔 Edit 10 months later: This restaurant is still great. Delicious food. Jason the bartender makes great, strong drinks with a smile. Extremely impressed by our dinner tonight. Kevin was a perfect waiter. Never had to ask for anything. We all got a different salad and all three were delicious! Drinks were good. Only disappointment was the truffle fries; not much truffle flavor. Keep up the great work guys!! Be back soon! Went again and enjoyed the beef short ribs and the salmon salad. Both were very delicious and huge portions!

My wife and I had dinner at the bar in Ladera Grill … The server/bartender talked non stop to a couple next to us, while never asking us once about our meal or if we needed anything else,etc… The server seemed to be having some personal crisis that she was sharing with the couple while completely ignoring us for the complete meal. The “blackened Sea Bass”, ordered had no flavor and the cheesy bread we ordered for an appetizer was delivered cold with our meal… overall I found the Ladera experience was overshadowed by the vacant service. This is the 10th+ time I have been to this restaurant but the first time eating at the bar… I am very underwhelmed by this experience

Like others have said, the food is good but, for the prices, could be better. My steak (for $78) was a bit overdone compared to what i asked for. This was probably because it was way too thin. They will keep cooking even after you take them off the grill or stove but the chef should know that. Like others have mentioned, service could be improved.

They threw away my leftovers. They asked if I wanted a box and they threw it all away. What a crappy experience. Waitress sucked too. Never really came back to even ask how the food was. Previous experiences were good but all it takes is one time to ruin it all. The helpers were awesome though. They were very attentive. Way more than the waitress. Seemed like she didn't even want to be there.
