The iconic La Cañada Building is one of the most recognizable spots in town, squarely located
in the Los Gatos Historic Commercial District. And now, a new name is emerging for the second story of the building: Heritage Pub and Chophouse. Owners Walker and Kristi Pearce-Percy, who are also husband and wife, plan to open the doors to their new restaurant by the end of this month. Working
alongside Executive Chef Yvonne Khananis, they have been preparing the space and menu for the past year. Banners for the new spot were hung up in the windows one year ago; now, their plan to create a vintage Los Gatos experience is coming to fruition. ➝ Heritage, 12
