One thing I love to get is their Truffle Honey Egg Sando. I love how the honey compliments the sando and the truffle flavor is perf. Another memorable dish is the GIWA Prime Long Rib. So softtt, flavorful, perfect balance of meat and fattiness, and cut in to perfect bite size pieces. The salad on the side also adds a nice refreshing touch. Also plated nicely too. The table also loved the Truffle Potato Pancake. Again, they do truffle well! The Creamy Uni and Tobiko Rice Pot was also really good! The drinks come with a cute heart straw :) They have a few new, unique dishes that are definitely worth trying. Service was great, super friendly/communicative/informative. Parking lot can sometimes be packeddd/busy. Def reccomend going here just to try great food, have celebrations such as birthdays, or catch up with friends

That said, I would recommend avoiding peak/busy times. One of the dishes, soufflé, we ordered was essentially like a flat pancake during the rush, which was disappointing compared with the quality we expected. Although it indicated on the menu it will take around 30 minutes to make, yet that dish was the first one came after we ordered, less than 10 minutes later! More importantly, we made a reservation through Yelp for Labor Day weekend. However, when we arrived, we were told that the restaurant does not accept reservations during holidays. If that is the restaurant's policy, it should be clearly stated on Yelp and the reservation system should be restricted for those dates. It was frustrating to find this out only after arriving, especially when we already had guests with us. We were then given a shortened dining time, which made the experience even more stressful.

According to Antonio, their Chilaquiles with Carnitas is something we must come back and try. So now we have another reason to return! Amazing food, amazing staff--but be warned: it's loud and packed! Still, totally pricey $86 breakfast for two but worth it!

Topped with two poached medium eggs* and our scratch made pico de gallo. Served with duck fat potatoes) - super flavorful carnitas, perfectly poached egg. Not the traditional bene... no hollandaise sauce.. it is topped with pico de gallo instead. All in all ... great breakfast. Would I go back? Yes. Side note: one just opened in downtown SJ. I will need to check that on out too sometime.

The drinks are named after actual songs which is which is cool. I really enjoyed the So fresh So clean which was refreshing and not so sweet. Each drink is made with fresh ingredients. Their food menu is small but still has enough to choose from to snack on. The bartenders are knowledgeable about the drinks they serve and willing to help you pick the best drink for your taste. We did not get a chance to try the Alter Ego which is behind the curtain but next time.

Wow, I don't think I've written a review of a bar/lounge in like 10 years lol. Aging + having a kid…read morewill do that to you. Anyway, I met up with some friends here last weekend and we had a reservation at Alter Ego. I guess it's technically 2 places with Still OG. I have to say, I have really fond memories of Original Gravity from back in the day (ah, the days of my youth...) so it's nice that it's still sort of around though.. technically completely different since there's no more craft beer or duck fat fries lol. We hung out at our table for the whole night, like 4 hours. We all ordered cocktails off the menu and later on ordered some stuff off the menu based on the bartender's suggestion. I first ordered a Calabrian Spritz from the menu which hit the spot for me. Personally, I am not a hard alcohol fan but I enjoy wine and fun lil cocktails that are slightly sweet/not super strong lol. So this drink was nice because it wasn't too sweet and had a lot of volume (I like just sipping on stuff in general and it sucks when you order a cocktail that's like 3 sips of liquid and the rest is ice). The next cocktail I ordered was off the menu and called Like This or That (I think). I think it was some sort of passionfruit + vodka mix and very delicious! We also ordered the cold soba noodles and fries. Fries were crinkle cut and nicely crispy, no complaints. Soba noodles were also good, though some component of it was really spicy, I think the cucumbers. Overall I had a good time here and look forward to coming back, though given how little I go out, who knows when that will be haha.

I had hibiscus herbal tea and and an adorable mini waffle cone, filled with crème fraîche, and topped with caviar (honestly never thought I'd like caviar before trying out this place for the first time).

We are disappointed. Thank God we brought 2 bottles of wine from Chateu Montellena. Corkage $35 per 750ml bottle. Maximum of 2 bottles. And we have 7 adults drinking.

The bartender (manager?), Filippos, recognized we had a lot of people, and proactively got us a comfortable seating area for all of us. Thank you Filippos for being so thoughtful and hospitable! And once we got seated, we had a server named Tikka, who was amazing. She made our whole night smooth and memorable. The service was above and beyond. 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. Even when it's crowded, you don't have to wait. Thank you, for all the hard work behind the scenes to create best-in-class customer service and cocktails.

My husband and I had a baby free night out to celebrate my birthday and haberdasher did not disappoint. We went soon after opening so there was no line but I know they tend to have one later in the evening. We were greeted warmly at the door by the attendant who checked our ids. I was even wished a happy early birthday. When going into the bar, you walk down a staircase into a space that makes you forget you're in downtown San Jose with beautiful reds and burgundy decor. The staff is all smartly dressed; the bartender and bar back were both sweet and funny. I ordered a jack rose (my all time favorite), their seasonal watermelon waltz (this may be a new favorite for me, nice and refreshing) and one of their zero proof cocktails called a Mariposa which was soooo good as well. My husband ordered a couple old fashioned and a watermelon waltz for himself. We had an amazing time and look forward to coming back in the future.
