Khartoum is such a fun, weird little time warp in downtown Campbell - in the best way. Think dark…read morewood, glowing vintage lamps, neon, and a full-on taxidermy fever dream on the walls that somehow just works with the dive-bar energy. It was packed when we went, music was up, people were actually dancing, and it definitely had that "everyone's here to have a night" vibe. Drinks were strong, reasonably priced, and the bartenders were moving fast but still friendly. Between the crowd, the playlist, and the quirky decor, it's an easy spot to lose a few hours with friends. That said, they really need to get the bathroom situation under control. When we were there, the restroom was completely flooded and honestly pretty atrocious, with a long line snaking out the door. On top of that, the security guy working the door was aggressive and unnecessarily rude, which kills the buzz a bit when the energy inside is otherwise so fun. Overall, I'd still give Khartoum 4 stars because the drinks, atmosphere, and lively crowd make it a solid go-to bar in Campbell - especially if you're into a hip-but-divey spot with lots of character and taxidermy everywhere you look. But if they cleaned up the bathrooms and smoothed out the attitude at the door, it would be an easy 5-star hangout.

My friend and I were looking at the menu trying to decide what we wanted when the bartender started yelling at us. It felt unnecessarily rude and uncomfortable, especially considering we were simply trying to figure out what to order.

Damn! Talk about an EXPERIENCE!…read more Two of our party of four went inside to check in for our reservation while the other two searched for street parking. When we got inside, we were seated in the lounge area for dinner. Let's just say our knees were basically at our chests because two of us are 6'1" and 6'4". Thankfully, the team was incredibly accommodating and was able to find us a booth that worked much better. The atmosphere? SO good. We absolutely loved the vibe. But the service... I can't even begin to say enough about how amazing it was. Camille was TOP NOTCH! She could handle every ounce of sarcasm we threw her way , and she consistently went above and beyond. If something didn't seem quite right, she was immediately there offering to make it right. We started with drinks, and I ordered the Spicy Marg. It came out without the spice, even though Camille had warned me beforehand that it was going to have some heat. She immediately offered to take it back and have it remade, but honestly, it was still really good and I didn't want to waste it. If it had sucked, trust me, I would've said something! My next favorite was the Fig'n Around. Not only because I'm married into a fig family , but because it was genuinely delicious. And one thing I really appreciated about both drinks was that they weren't overly sweet. Now... DINNER. We asked Camille for her recommendation between the 40 oz Tomahawk and the 30 oz Ribeye. She initially recommended the Tomahawk, but once we added the Captain's Catch to the order, she suggested we go with the Ribeye instead since there would already be plenty of food for all four of us. And she was absolutely right. Everything we had was SO good. The only real negative I walked away with that night was the mac & cheese. It was a little overcooked, which is exactly why I usually stay away from pasta. BUT -- do NOT let that deter you from coming here. That was such a minor thing compared to the overall experience. I honestly cannot wait until I'm back in the area because I will absolutely be going back. I'm already craving everything we had that night! Oh, and the saddest part of the whole evening... I ordered the white chocolate bread pudding to go and STILL haven't tasted it. I completely forgot about it because I'm not usually a dessert person! If you go, ask for Camille's section if she's working. She was fantastic. And no, before anyone asks -- I do NOT know Camille outside of this experience. She was just genuinely that good.

I had the garlic noodles with Thai sauce (John Carlo's suggestion, and it did NOT disappoint ), fried calamari, and bacon-wrapped prawns. Hubby had the smashed Wagyu burger with chimichurri fries. Everything was absolutely delicious! We had such a great time and will definitely be coming back soon.

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 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.

It is a shame that the owner/manager, whomever that may be, staffed today with just two people!! The date of this car show was announced many many months ago and the event is well attended!! There is/was absolutely no excuse for not having adequate staff!! We walked in for lunch and they were many open tables, but it took quite some time to get menus and even longer to get beverage orders taken. When the beverages arrived, we were short one/one was missing. The Reuben sandwich was very salty and the chicken sandwich under-seasoned. The other sandwich and burger were nothing special. When it came time to leave one party at our table, had to go find the waitress and ask for our bill/check. As a group we debated about not even leaving a tip, but ultimately decided that it was not the waitress nor bartender's fault but management's fault for having a skeleton crew working on an extremely busy event day.

Also, shout out to Dakota, one of the best bartenders. He was super friendly (even though it was very busy) and wanted to make sure everyone was taken care of. In terms of drinks, I recommend the Vesper and So Fresh So Clean. All their drinks are exceptional. The ambiance was the most impressive part. It's very spacious and you don't feel cramped like other cocktail bars. And they have two bars that are both well-staffed, so no one is annoyed trying to order a drink.

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!

Unfortunately, with the new pricing, I don't feel like it's as good of a value anymore. A 20% discount just doesn't compare to the old happy hour prices, especially when before wells cocktails were around $7 and beers for $5. With the current pricing at Cedar Room, I'm now walking out spending close to $100, compared to the $40-$50 I would normally spend before. I really like Cedar Room and have enjoyed coming here regularly, which is why it's disappointing to see the happy hour change this way. At these prices, I'm honestly not sure how often I'll be coming back. I hope they reconsider the happy hour pricing because I'd love to keep supporting a place I've enjoyed.
