    Smoked Salmon Benedict
    Vincent P.

    We came here for lunch after our hike and it was a decent choice. We sat at the outdoor patio since we had our pups with us. Our waiter was friendly and accommodating. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict, it came with avocados, eggs, and hollandaise sauce. The overall flavor was good and I'm glad I ordered it. The hash browns and fresh fruit were alright sides. Overall, this was a decent spot we picked, although not somewhere I would drive out of my way to visit.

    Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs
    Aliza J.

    I tried the fried chicken steak. The texture was interesting -- it was crispy, but for me it tasted a bit too much like flour. It was also on the salty side for my preference. The rest of the dish was okay, and the portion was decent. Service was good, which I appreciated. Overall, it wasn't my favorite because of the seasoning, but the experience was still pleasant.

    Carnitas Benedict Red Velvet Pancakes
    Ankitha D.

    Came here on a Saturday morning after Pilates with 2 friends. We were sat immediately and were able to pick a table. The place feels like an old diner kinda experience but still cute for brunch. We got waters to start and the waiters were quick to take our orders. I ordered a carnitas Benedict and we got a red velvet pancake to share for the table. Our food came out one at a time so it took a little bit of time. My friend ordered a breakfast burrito without cheese and when she got it and it had cheese in it so the had to remake it. Either way the food was SO good. I ate my whole meal and a lot of the pancake that was meant to be shared the waiters were pretty friendly and it ended up being a nice pretty budget friendly restaurant. Will be back!

    Cute location in Downtown Saratoga walking distance from any street parking. We sat outside and had a view of the street. The food was well portioned for the price. All three of us cleared our plates because it was so scrumptious. The prices were a little higher than I expected for a breakfast place but it was good. It averaged to $30 a person with everyone getting coffee. The bread was the perfect amount of crispy and the salad was fresh. I'd eat here again. Good service: got checked on about 3 times. Very nice time. Their cups are mason jars which was nice and rustic.

    Garden Omelet
    Adi G.

    Really great option for a local brunch! Went there on Sunday around noon, and we got seated immediately. Outdoor sitting area is very pleasant. We ordered two omelettes and a sandwich, and the food was delicious. The meals were sizable- portions were good for the price. Great location- right in downtown Saratoga! We loved eating here and then walking around downtown.

    Great food, great service! Food was delicious. Service even better. At least four people helped serve us. They worked well together and never left us wanting. Outdoors area was nice and comfortable. A great place for breakfast!

    Deep-fried Breakfast Burrito
    Pip C.

    Bell Tower is an adorable cafe with extensive outdoor seating, an open kitchen inside, and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. I got the strawberry crepes and my friend got the deep-fried breakfast burrito. The crepe itself had an excellent texture but was a tad bland. However the presentation with the orchid flower was a feast for my eyes. Overall, I highly recommend it for breakfast/brunch in Saratoga.

    We had a lovely breakfast here at Bell Tower Care. We ordered eggs Benedict, strawberries crepe, and cappuccino. Everything was delicious. Service was prompt and attentive. It is a huge cafe!l with outdoor seatings. They have wisteria trellis on the side by the fence which I think would be lovely when it's blooming. We didn't get to see it since we are early in the season. Late May or June would be a great time for an outdoor brunch here.

    Chicken 'n' Waffles

    We came here a couple times and lately the service has been getting a bit slow. It took a while for a server to get our order and waiting a much longer time to receive our food as well. Our server barely made eye contact with us whenever we spoke to him too. The food however is still pretty good! Just wished that the service was as good as it was the first time time we went.

    Chicken and waffle

    Cute cafe with outdoor/ patio seating. We came during Saturday noon time and the place was bustling. Staff were a bit disorganized with seating and we had to wait quite a while. It was a warm day and the heater may have been on in the outdoor seating area making the place feel like a sauna. Chicken and waffle - average chicken and waffle, slightly expensive considering the quality of the dish

    Came here after I picked up my sister from School. Place was pretty empty since it was a Thursday afternoon. We were greeted and they told us to choose our sit. Which was nice to choose your own seat since it was empty. Got the menus and couldn't decide what to get. what we order and rating: -Cappuccino 4/5 -Fresh OJ 3/5 -Build my own Omelet 4/5 -Carnitas Bendict 4/5 Overall, service was fast and food was good. The only con would be that they dont have their own parking.

The cinnamon is like a warm apple pie minus the apple. The citrus is my personal favorite because citrus cuts the richness while the sweetness enhances the savory bacon. Rosemary is great as well you first get the rosemary scent from the nose then the next profile is the pepper followed by the savory pork. - Francis Egg Soufflé 26 Cutting edge asian fusion, egg prepped in an asian way with american toppings (bacon and chicken sausage). Served with a side of bread and potato/brussel mixture. Definitely shareable because of how much egg it comes with! - Hemingway Eggs Benedict 26 The wasabi hollandaise was a hit! I can confidently say I haven't had this flavor combo before and the cucumber and lemon in the eggs benedict helped cut how dense a traditional one is! Also served with a side of potato/brussels. The bathroom was aesthetic, it wasn't super clean but it was a Saturday morning so I understand. You checkin on the Yelp tablet and choose between indoor and outdoor seating for the host to guide you! The service was decent considering how busy it was, the bus boys were amazing. I saw them cleaning up tables and efficiently which explained why the wait times weren't bad at all. Very similar to the Palo Alto location! Parking lot is decent but if you are coming with a big party definitely consider carpooling.

    Final Thoughts: 4.20/5.0…read more Asian fusion brunch spots seem hard to come by around the San Jose area. There's more within the larger Bay Area space that I never really go to. My sister and I decided to divert from our original plans today and just go on a brunch date elsewhere. This is also a spot that's been on my list for the longest time and I'm only now just getting to it. Relaxing Saturday brunch day. Thinking it will be a 4 stars for me for this experience. Food: Darla's Benedict: 4.0/5 This is the classic eggs benedict. It comes with two medium poached eggs on rustic Millstone bread. On top, it will include candied bacon, tomatoes, yuzu hollandaise sauce with the side of crispy kale. The poached egg was done nicely. You can see in the video that the yolk is super runny and cooked perfectly. The bread is quite thick and does have that crispy edge on the crust. Personally, I hate tomatoes. They do put a few thin slices on it, so it wasn't enough to fully affect the taste. I did give those pieces of tomatoes away to my sister though. The yuzu hollandaise sauce is very thick and umami. The yuzu is a little overpowering for me with the acidity, but overall, there is this nice freshness to it. The candied bacon is super crispy and I really like the saltiness and sweetness to it. For the vegetable component, they provide crispy kale. Personally, I would have preferred a side of fries/potatoes/hash, fresh fruit, or something more fresh even like a side salad. The kale is nice and crispy, but it's so oily and I feel that took away more from the dish than contributed. Loco Moco No.1: 4.0/5 This is their steak river farm wagyu beef patty, grilled asparagus, picked cherry peppers, a fried egg, pomegranate, rice, parmesan mushroom, and ginger gravy. The beef patty was super tender and juicy. I wish there were more of the gravy or even if the gravy were poured over the beef. I feel like it just soaks all of it in. The gravy was super thick and umami. The ginger is very light and virtually not there almost, so I didn't realize it was there. Not a concern for me as that flavor can be overpowering. Rice leans on the dryer side for me. Definitely a preference as I'm sure others would be fine with that. For the vegetable component, I would prefer an alternative. Perhaps a fresh vegetable or side salad would work better or more mushrooms for that umami, or even a pickled veggie for that crunch. The asparagus looks nice and leans more on fine dining, but it's not significant enough to give that light and freshness to it. The flavor of it works well though. Egg was nicely cooked and had a beautiful yolk color. --------- Quality: Made to order Food was freshly made and everything came out hot to order. The kale was super crispy and like it was just fried in that oil. The loco moco was also super juicy and piping hot like it was made to order. Our plates were all nicely completed and brought out quickly it seems. Price: $$$ Their prices do lean on the higher side for a brunch. Usual prices will be around $17 to $26 with a few outliers. The Loco Moco was one of the outliers pricing at $33 for a plate. This is likely related to the beef patty. I can't say I would pay $33 for that plate. Given the form of the meat patty, I really couldn't tell the cut of the beef. Perhaps it is Wagyu, but its difficult for me to tell. Very juicy overall though. Of note, the portion sizes are smaller. They are plated on larger plates and gives more fine dining vibes, so matches the pricing. Service: Nice experience For being outside, there was still enough waiters/waitresses working, so it was fairly simple to get someone's attention to help us. They were very nice and checked in on us, which is always a plus. Very simple process and good experience with them overall. Ambiance: Shaded Outdoors and Indoors We decided to sit outdoors today given their shaded area. This was one of the highlights for me. Initially, I preferred indoor given the weather, but my sister asked if it was a shaded outdoors. It is and that's what makes it. The air felt really nice. There are pockets of sun that peak through the trees and shade, but that wasn't really a concern. Would definitely go here on another brunch date. Location/Parking: Public Parking Available This location is within downtown Saratoga area. I will say that getting in a out of here isn't the most idea, especially on a weekend where everyone wasn't to go out and spend the most of their day off. This place does have a small public parking lot. We were lucky enough to find a spot here, but will say it does partially depend on luck here.
