BREAKFAST STEAK AND LUNCH BURGER…read more I ate at City Diner twice. The first time was in April before going to the San Jose Fair Downs to bet on horse races. Before going to bet on horseracing I like to order steak for brunch. I ordered New York steak asking the steak to be cooked medium rare. After several bites I noticed the steak was cooked medium. Maybe it's superstition, but if I do not enjoy my steak I tend to lose at the racetracks. That's what happened at City Diner since the steak wasn't cooked to my preference as I lost money at the San Jose Fair Downs that day. I wasn't planning to come back to City Diner soon however i noticed one of the items listed on the burger section of the menu was corned beef burger. I've eaten pastrami burger before, but not corned beef burger. Also I love corned beef. I came back last Saturday for the corned beef burger. For $3 more instead of fries I requested onion rights. There is an abundance of milkshakes at City Diner. I asked my server and he recommended the "Groom", which is a mocha malt as it is his favorite. The "Groom" wasn't too sweet so I was able to finish it. The corned beef burger included slices of bacon. I was worried that the bacon would mask the taste of the corned beef as both bacon and corned beef are cured. I was correct as I couldn't taste the corned beef due to the bacon. Overall I'm glad I came here to eat for lunch however I do not see myself coming to City Diner anytime soon.

I was looking for a local spot for a quick Happy Hour and I found this local Gem in Downtown SJ…read more (This is located near OJ's) They offer 50% off on the their Appetizers and 50% on Beer & Wine from 4 to 7. My wife and I tried the Crackling Chicken Bites, and the Chicken Wings. The wings were very large and perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Cracklings were "Amaze Balls" They are a healthier version of Pork Rinds, but even more delicious. We asked the Manager about their origin and a lot of work was put in to perfect the recipe. Well worth the effort Chefs Kiss on this one!

Well, this was my second time here. The first time was with family, and the food was fantastic. So,…read moreI decided to come back. After watching a review on social media, I decided to try something new. I had to try the cracklin' chicken bites. I ordered the southern fried fish, added the brisket, and the collard greens. After I ordered, I went to the bar to order a gin and tonic. I asked for the Bombay Sapphire gin. Then, it turned into an unreal experience. When I got my drink, I asked the female bartender if she added lemon or lime. She gave me "the look" and said I did not ask for lemon or lime. Taken aback, I told her that I've never had a gin and tonic without lemon or lime. She then replied, "rude". I proceeded to apologize, and then she acquiesced and gave me a garnish. I thanked her and again apologized. She was having none of it. I was in a great mood because I still tipped her. However, it has been bugging me ever since July 25. Hence, my review. Back to the food. My food was delicious, flavorful, and portion sizes were great. In fact, I am taking my parents there today. However, we are going to go to the one on South of Market--just in case I want a gin and tonic. I will be sure to ask for lime this time. :)

This was my first time here and the interior was very very nice! When we arrived the hostess took us to the back area which is more enclosed. There was no one else over there and it seemed a bit away from the main room so we asked to move to the front room where there was more going on and it seemed to be a bit of issue where to seat us even though there were plenty of table open? I thought the hostess should have asked which room we'd like to sit in. Our server came over shortly after and he was very nice and attentive and first took our drink order. I don't drink alcohol but my friends ordered drinks. I had water. What we ordered Food: Poke nachos Just one bump Burger Pork chop Cauliflower steak Drinks: Espresso martin Negroni Roma The service was really great! I also enjoyed all the food. My friends preferred their espresso martini the best out of all their drinks. My friend and I shared the burger and they cut it in half for us on our own plate and even gave us extra fries. I would come back! It's a great date night spot or a place to grab dinner with family or friends especially if you're going to an event downtown SJ.

It's lively, stylish, and has a really fun energy, especially for a weekend brunch with a group. I'm a big brunch person, so I'm always looking for places that have both a good food menu and great drinks, and The Pressroom definitely delivers on both. There are plenty of options to choose from, whether you want something more traditional or something a little different, and the brunch cocktails are creative and fun. I also love the concept behind the restaurant. It's located in the historic Lyndon Building, which was once home to the Times-Mercury and later the Mercury News, and The Pressroom incorporates that journalism history throughout the restaurant. It gives the space a little more character than your typical brunch spot. I really hope The Pressroom continues to do well. Downtown San Jose has seen so many restaurants come and go over the years, and it's great to see a place bringing this kind of energy back to the area. It's a beautiful space, a fun place to gather with friends, and a great addition to downtown. We had a wonderful brunch and will definitely be back. I'm already looking forward to our next one!

It is back to our "regular neighborhood breakfast spot" YAY! Veggie scramble with a side of corned beef hash (fresh veggies cooked perfectly, not soggy, with a touch of scrambled eggs and cheese) - always starts our weekend in a great mood! Staff has also changed since we were last there - new staff is just as nice and friendly. They have also remodeled ... updated and nice :) Indoor and patio seating only - no outdoor. There is a small parking lot and street parking available so I suggest you give it a try. Would I go back? Yes, glad we gave it another shot and like I said.... we will put this back on our regular list.

We were seated quickly which was nice, but overall the experience was diminished by the stressed out bartender. Definitely needs to take a deep breath and lock in or find another line of work. His choice of body language when interacting with his own coworkers when trying to communicate was disrespectful in and of itself, rolling his eyes and giving passive aggressive remarks, almost resemblant of teenage angst which you wouldn't expect coming from a grown man. At some point when receiving a ticket he dramatically threw it on the counter to help everyone at the bar side know how frustrated or overwhelmed he was. Seeing this as a customer discourages me to make requests, as it almost feels like our presence is an inconvenience to our bartender/server. The customer service experience here was terrible and my biggest recommendation to this establishment is to hire people who are willing to provide a comfortable experience to customers, as opposed to individuals who will throw man-fits for working at 11 AM.

I believe they serve PRIME RIB (Fresh Roast Beef) on Fridays starting at 11am 'nuff said !!!…read more They may offer it more often, possibly daily, but both times I visited this location, upon asking, that's what I was told and my first visit I did order it and it was very good. That earns them FIVE STARS in my rating review opinion. I came too early one visit, so they had the PRIME RIB "French Dip Style" SANDWISH with Aus Jus Dipping... I was tempted twice to try it, but both times it was described less than desired... they do use fresh Prime Rib, not cold cut sliced roast beef deli meet as many places use... but they were honest in saying it was the fully cooked medium well to well done slices, which is discouraging to try, but maybe I need to see someone order it to judge the appearance more than the description. I prefer the type of Prime Rib Sandwich that is medium rare, moist, tender and juicy, similar to what "Hillstone" (formerly "Houstons") serves where it's red, pink and more raw but thinly sliced so it's not chewy.

Hey there Party People…read more I've been to the Table several times since my first review for the restaurant and just felt I needed to restate the obvious....this place is great. Hubby and I wanted to have brunch The Table is the best spot. You can get bottomless Mimosas for a very reasonable price. But first and foremost the food is what you go for. Not to mention you can take a very pleasant walk along Willow street and check out the shops after a great meal. The menu really lends to sharing plates so you can really get your foody on. We had the beignets to start. Made with ricotta and lemon curd for dipping. The beignets were very moist and a little dense because of the ricotta. The sugar coating was light and the crust was perfectly crunchy. What really made the beignets sing was the lemon curd dipping sauce just added a deep layering of flavor. Then there was the Heirloom Tomato salad with artichoke hearts. It was a tasty bite. The fry on the artichoke hearts was light bringing out the artichoke flavor. The treatment of the heirloom was clean simple and the whole dish together was just wonderful. Finally we had the Chicago Roast beef sandwich. It was huge and made me glad that we were splitting the dishes. The sandwich really reminded me of the east coast because of the peppers and carrots medley that was on the sandwich, which packed a fantastic little kick to wake up the pallet. Their Au Jus dipping sauce brought the hold combination together. Per my Hubby, who is a real Roast Beef lover, the whole sandwich was next level. If you're in Willow Glen and you don't eat here you have missed out on a wonderful experience. Be kind to one another

We've been to The Table a number of times, and I've always loved the location and atmosphere. It…read morehas a great neighborhood feel and is a nice spot for brunch, lunch, or a casual meal with friends and family. Unfortunately, I feel like the food has gone downhill over the years. When they first opened, the food was amazing and the portions felt generous. More recently, the portions seem to have gotten noticeably smaller while the prices have continued to go up. The food is still fine, but for what you're paying, I expect it to be better. I really want to love The Table because the atmosphere and location are great, but the food and value just aren't what they used to be. Hopefully they can get back to the quality and portions they had when they first opened.
