los gatos need restaurant or spa recommendation

I would like to by a Christmas gift certificate for a young (30ish) married couple who live in Los Gatos.
Can anyone recommend a nice restaurant or day spa.
I went online and two came up that look promising:

The Spa Los Gatos at 100 S. Santa Cruz Ave

Manresa Restaurant at 32 Village Lane

well you can't beat Deo Deca for a restaurant - its at the Los Gatos hotel - beautiful- great food- pretty expensive I think- I have never had to pay for my meal - but nice atmosphere.

Don't know about day spas

Will check with daughter- she slends a lot of time in Los Gatos

Manresa I'm told (haven't been) is "world class" -- all the others are "good" I'm sure but this one is "worth a detour" (quoting foodie friends). I think the prices match the reviews.

After checking prices, I decided on California Cafe. It's looks like a great place too. Tell your daughter thanks sunbum.

I will tell her Nanabee - She will be happy to know she helped you do your shopping. Hope they enjoy- They are lucky to live in Los Gatos- love it there
Daughter lives in Campbell- which is also a cute little place but we always go to Los Gatos when I visit.

It is a darling community sunbum. I'd never been there until a few months ago when we flew up for their wedding in Los Gatos. I love the main street and all the cute little shops.

zelphiacat: you'll fit right in with Los Gatans!

All cats are welcome!

Haven't seen any of the native mountain lions (for which the town is named) during hikes lately, so all additions will be most welcome!
