    I'd been to the one in Sunnyvale a few times, so I was eager to try the new location in Campbell. The sandwiches were, of course, the same. If you like the food in Sunnyvale, you won't be disappointed in Campbell. I do not think they are a good value, not really 15 dollars' worth of sandwich, but I know it's getting pricey for Restaurants to exist right now. For our budget though, this was not a good value for us. The Root Beer, on the other hand, IS 4$ worth of Root Beer. Totally worth it, as always. The Employees were a little rushed, friendly for sure, but still maybe working out the kinks in the new location. There seemed to be a to go order causing a slow down right before our order, so we had a little bit of a wait for ours. The main issues I had were -The parking lot was insanely annoying if you need the ADA spot (which we do) -There was not really enough room inside. It was PACKED with people taking up tables while they WAITED for food, some to go, some for eat in. There are some tables outside, so I guess they know they have a space problem. Hopefully that will work itself out once they've been open for a while and the crowds have evened out. The food was good, but very pricey for a place where you can't trust you'll be able to sit or get your food quickly. The Root Beer is excellent. I say grab a Root Beer to go.

    Two of us had lunch here recently. We both had the Melt Dip. It was good, but maybe a bit too much gristle in the meat. We could not get clean bites without running into some of those tough strands. However, the flavor of the meat was good and so was the au jus. We also had their house root beer - that was very good. Biggest disappointment was that they did not have fries. The other location does. Service was fine. Seating was limited, but the space is very new and clean. They also sell their root beer in bottles to take home. It's a bit pricey.

    We shared the Prime French dip with horseradish, potato salad, on tap root beer and finished with the bread pudding. The root beer is fantastic I recommend getting on tap in an ice cold glass. The drink freezes on the sides like a slushie floating on top. The potato salad is good. The only complaint I have is a $20 dollar sandwich should have more meat. The prime rib is excellent and thin sliced and the broth is good but the meat doesn't make it to the end of the bread.

    This is a new dining location on the South Bascom strip. My coworker and I checked it out last week. There are outdoor and indoor dining tables. The outdoor tables have umbrellas which is very convenient. Parking is limited. The menu isn't too big and there's something for everyone. We got the French dip, root beer and pickle. We would have gotten the bread pudding but will get it on our next trip. Another customer in line recommended getting the bread pudding. The root beer came in glass mugs and was perfect for the warm weather. It wasn't too syrupy and had good carbonation. The staff calls out your number and the wait wasn't too long. While waiting, we saw more and more people coming in. The French dip was a great size for the price. The bread was pillowy but still had a bite to it. The meat was tender, not too fatty and sliced well. The au jus wasn't too salty and the container it came in was perfect for the size of sandwich. The pickle wasn't too acidic and had a nice crunch. They also offer sliced pickles but I opted to get the whole pickle for $1.50. Definitely coming back here to try their other sides.

    Right off the bat: yes, the food is just like the original location; no dip in quality, so to speak. So happy there's a closer location to me now.

    Sold out is not a good look, get your inventory under control. Location was closed for running out of meat?

    Prime rib meat cut with the grain - very tough.

    As long-time Sunnyvale customers, we decided to try this new location today. Low score is based on: (1) The prime rib slices in our sandwiches were very, very tough. Why? All slices were cut along the grain, not against the grain. PLEASE TRAIN YOUR STAFF TO SLICE THE BEEF AGAINST THE GRAIN!!! (2) The menu had no French Fries or Onion Rings. If you want fries, McDonald's, across the street, has them. Overall, IMHO, the Sunnyvale location will continue to be our go-to location. It offers more menu choices and they know how to slice the beef against the grain so it's always super tender.

    Really tasty sandwich. Nice staff. Just note that it's priced just for the sandwich - drink and sides are extra.

    This was my second time visiting Water Tower Kitchen. The first time was 4 years ago and for lunch…read more Today we called an audible and decided to go for brunch since we were at the Farmers Market. We were seated immediately in the patio area. Service was fantastic! Everyone was very focused, attentive, and on the ball. I was also impressed with their brunch menu. We don't eat out often for breakfast or brunch as we're just not interested in breakfast items at restaurants. But their brunch menu looked great. It had a fairly large selection. 3 words: Asian Chicken Salad. OMG I know some people don't understand how someone could actually order a salad and enjoy it. I am one of those people! I just love a good salad. But it has to be a GREAT salad to truly rave about it in a review. This salad was so good! The amount of dressing was perfect as well as the seasoning and flavor. The grilled chicken was cooked to perfection. And the crunch from the fried wontons and cashews were the star. I honestly couldn't stop eating it. John took a couple of bites and he agreed. I can't even stop thinking about it. Hint to John: Surprise me one day with this salad. You will get big points. Or this can be our new date trip--farmers market and lunch at Water Tower Kitchen.

    Great Views & Fun Atmosphere…read more I like this restaurant because you can look straight out at the historic water tower while you eat! It's a trendy, bright restaurant and sports bar with 19 big screens, so there's definitely a fun atmosphere. Restrooms: Decent, clean, and bright. Parking: Free, but limited within the complex. Service: Friendly and efficient, although a little slow. They also offer private event bookings on the second floor, with an open bar, bartender, and private waiter to accommodate the event. For our event, we had a pretty big spread: fruit platter, chicken wings, hummus platter with chickpea salad, marinated heirloom tomatoes, flatbreads and cucumber, pretzels with house honey mustard and beer cheese, tower fries, marinated steak, garlic noodles, mac and cheese buns, Asian chicken salad, garlic flank steak, and oven paprika chicken. The open bar was only $14 per person and included a selection of soda, juice, draft beer, wine, and sparkling wine. Pretty reasonable for a private event!

    This review is late in coming as it is for an event we held at Hapa's in early August for the…read moreoccasion of my wife's birthday party. It was very good working with Cassie who was generous with her support in ensuring my wife had a great party. As disclaimer we know Cassie from our 6 year old's baseball teams the past couple years. My wife preferred Hapa's Los Gatos location at first but were advised that their Lincoln Ave location would be better suited for her party of around 100 guests including children. We had a private event space next to their brewing vats and rented tables, high tops, and linens through Hapa's. This location does not have a kitchen and instead have taco trucks and such who park outside. For our purposes we had an outside caterer serve our guests and Hapa's were very accommodating to them. This location has a couple barriers between it and Lincoln Ave. and is connected to other small businesses via hallways so it is safe for children to move about freely. Hapa's provided corn holes for kids to play within our space and we had crafts on tables to do. Next door is a pinball machine playing shop so between all these, kids were enjoying themselves and adults largely free to socialize. Hapa's doesn't require you to buy their beer but we opted for wristbands and open bar tab. If you do bring your own alcohol there is corkage as normal though, so we just kept with their beer which our guests enjoyed. Their bartender Alyssa was great to work with, ensuring we had everything we needed while serving their public customers. We were conveniently next to their bar while being set aside from public space. There is filtered water to spout from but it's on the other side of the bar, so a walk to/fro for filling up our water dispensers. Our caterer provided agua frescas, no extra fee from brewery on that. They were able to bring their equipment in the space and set up nicely to serve made-to-order tacos and quesadillas with side tables of self-serve rice, beans, mixed veggies, and guacamole. We had dessert tables perpendicular to them. We were at first concerned the space wouldn't work as it looks warehouse-y but when outfitted with tables/linens, catering, and our own decorations, it turned out to be a great space where people could sit or stand and be free to move around. I was surprised at how many customers Hapa's had as it's in a kinda random location but it was packed both inside and in the back. This casual festive brewery environment worked well for noisy children in our private space and their free and safe movement about the building was priceless. Everyone expressed what a great space it was and my wife really enjoyed herself being able to see so many circles of her life in one space. Thank you Cassie, Alyssa (sorry if misspell), and Hapa's!

    Wow! Everything was so good here and the service was amazing too. The owner took the time to…read moreexplain to us the inspiration behind the dishes and that really made the restaurant super inviting. We started with the crab crostini and the Brussels sprouts. The crab was very fresh and each crostini had a large portion of crab on top. The Brussels sprouts were very crispy and very umami with the cheese and bacon combination mixed in. The empanada was honestly a showstopper. I don't know how to describe it other than you have to try it. Both pastas were good but I prefer the mushroom one over the short rib ragu. The halibut was also good, and the basil sauce made it even better. I was already super impressed with everything but I think the stars were the 2 desserts. The Dubai cheesecake was an Italian style cheesecake, so it was a lot lighter than I was expecting (which was welcomed) and captured the essence of Dubai chocolate without being too overwhelming. The Lira in Wonderland was also SO good. It had a crown of cotton candy and was a mix of biscoff cookies, dehydrated red velvet cake (don't knock it till you try it), butterscotch sauce, and strawberries. I was honestly blown away by this meal.

    I had high hopes for this upscale Mediterranean spot in downtown Campbell. Lots of hype, but the…read morefood was average and service was all over the place. I thought some dishes were great; the wagyu burger was decadent. Other dishes were not that special. The scallops didn't taste too fresh (likely frozen) and combining them with hummus didn't quite work. The side of bread was practically insulting. $5 for stale table bread was a surprise. Dishes arrived very late; we were nearly forgotten when we tried to order, and then after ordering, we waited 40 minutes between appetizers and the main course. Not because they were cooking it; they just forgot we were there and when they brought out the dishes, the scallops were no longer just-cooked, and the burger had been sitting for a bit. No apology, just an acknowledgment it was late, and no discount (not even on the stale bread). They offered us wine, we said we didn't drink, and they just moved on. I debated a lot about how to review this. It's my personal experience that was disappointing, and I'm glad some reviews are very upbeat. But there's a handful of reviews noting frustrating delays... and that needs to be worked on.
