A contemporary American restaurant in Los Gatos, Shepherd & Sims is run by longtime locals and restaurateurs Jim and Angelique Stump, owners of several beloved restaurants in Northern California as part of their restaurant group, The Hot Behind You Hospitality Management Group. The 150-seat restaurant pays homage to the town’s lush landscape and rich history. As you enter the restaurant, a mural above the entry ties the owner’s favorite local outdoor experiences to the region.

Featuring over 5,000 square feet of space, including a newly constructed outdoor parklet, Shepherd & Sims showcases a refreshing balance of warm and bright personal touches mixed with an elegant yet lively dining atmosphere. A warm, bright, and inviting space is crafted throughout the bar and restaurant using natural woods, organic materials, layered textures, and pops of warm color throughout. Lighting plays a key role, while mirrored accents create reflectivity and open up the space to diners. Varying seating types and sizes invite groups and couples alike, while decorative screens provide a visual separation between bar and dining, creating flexibility for all party sizes. With Arcsine bringing a thorough understanding of the intersection between hospitality and design, Shepherd & Sims presents a wholesome, whimsical space that welcomes locals and out-of-town visitors to downtown Los Gatos.
