    Short stack pancakes
    Grace F.

    Definitely a family established restaurant, the usuals go to this place & you can feel the love as soon as you walk in, get seated & placing your order. Everyone that works here, is super friendly. Located in the corner of a semi-busy street, depending on what time you go, but they have plenty of parking, again depending on how busy they get. There's plenty to choose from on the menu, whatever it is your craving, this place will have what you are looking for. If your in the area & unsure of what your looking for, why not stop in & enjoy a dish or two?

    This is the owner's response to my 1 star review regarding the quality of the food and her rude attitude towards us.
    Marcy R.

    We had a negative experience at Sara's Kitchen this morning. Problem #1. My partner ordered an entree and asked for a side of corn. The server brought his dish with a side of mixed vegetables instead. My partner informed the server that his side was incorrect. The server told my partner that they didn't have any corn and simply decided to substitute his side for corn without informing my partner of the absence and discussing substitute options. Problem #2. The pancakes that another member of our party arrived to the table cold. The pancakes were inedible. Problem #3. Staff forgot to bring a side of toast for another member of our party who is of older age. The server was notified and brought out cold slices of toast that my grandmother could not eat due to the toast being hard from being out for so long. Problem #4. I ordered a side of corned beef hash that was completely forgot until the female owner was told about the situation. The owner apologized and quickly brings out a double portion of the beef hash supposedly. I take a bite and it is completely cold without any flavor at all! My partner tends to eat low sodium/salt free foods and even for himself it was bad. The potatoes in the hash were cold and a bit raw in the center. Problem #5. The attitude of the business owner was completely rude to us without any given reason. We spoke to her in a calm demeanor. I informed her of what went wrong with the toast, pancakes, and my beef corner hash. She asked us in a rude tone what she wanted us to do about it. She asked if she should remake the food or what. I politely told her no since we have to go to a church. The owner mocks me by saying God Bless before walking away. She comes back to the table to tell us that the only dish she will comp is the corned beef hash since it was a side. She refused to comp the meal that included the pancakes and toast due to these two items being 'free' since they are part of the meal. Problem #6. My family member asked the busboy for to go boxes. When asked how many, she told the busboy staff 3 boxes to which the female owner overheard. She immediately grabs the plate of cold pancakes that my family member considered taking back home and said that, "This is to give to the animals," before walking away. Everyone in our party had problems with our meals. We felt disrespected by the business owner and cheated. After coming to this restaurant for over a decade, we have decided to say never again! We don't appreciate being spoken to rudely and how the restaurant owner handled our issues. --------- This is in response to the owner's message that was a left as a compliment to me that states, "If you didn't like the food why ask for box to take home ." I clearly never said that we did not like the pancakes that you rudely took away from our table without asking us at all. The pancakes arrived cold to the point that butter could not melt over them. Which means that the pancakes were sitting out ready to get picked up for who knows how long before the pancakes cooled down. Yet, you still had the audacity to charge us full price for the meal with the pancakes - yet not give us the opportunity to take home something that we paid for. Who does this? Well, besides you of course.

    Used to like this place but just went today and realized they gave me bacon instead of ham for my traditional Benedict and there was a bug in my salad !! I wasn't going to complain until I saw the bug. I called and someone answered saying "yo, yo, yo" and then hung up. It sad because I went here 2 years ago. Not sure what happened. The lady who gave me my to go order was also super sweet,, just wished they would better examine what they give out. The traditional Benedict was just okay, and the side salad came with no dressing.

    Breakfast Menu

    We have been coming here since college. It's always a solid breakfast option. There are so many tasty options for breakfast we always struggle to decide. Today we tried the Philly Cheesesteak for the first time, since the menu says they are famous for them. It was yummy but honestly the filling to bread ratio was a bit sad and it was nothing remarkable so we probably won't get it again. We also got the country fried steak and eggs, which were yummy but again, have had better elsewhere. The pancake that came with it was delicious, light and fluffy inside with the perfect flavorful browning on the outside. Sara's is really good at scrambles and omelettes so we will be sticking to those in the future. The service as always is great and was very pleased to get coffee while we waited for a table. Love the nostalgia of the little cafe diner atmosphere and the lovely nature of the owner.

    Denver Omelette!

    Breakfast at a nice cozy diner was a very good experience for Saturday morning. I enjoyed the non-stop coffee and Denver omelette with hash brown and a pancake. The waitperson was kind and helpful. We stayed long after we finished eating but never felt rushed (we made sure no one was waiting). Will eat here again when in the area!

    Custom scramble with ham and cheddar with side of hashbrowns.

    Been coming here since 2001 and starting my 25th year. Another great breakfast. Custom scramble with ham and cheddar along with a side of hash browns.

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.

It's tucked behind the buildings just off Saratoga's main strip. Trust Google Maps, head to the rear parking lot, and follow the sign through the alley to the restaurant. Dinner is prix fixe only -- $93 as of August 2026. We mentioned that we had plans afterward and just wanted a lighter dinner and some wine, and they were incredibly gracious about letting us split one prix fixe. Honestly, the portions still felt very generous, and we ended up spending about the same amount on wine anyway. The wine list is small but really thoughtfully curated, and they also allow you to bring your own bottle for a corkage fee. The standout for me was the Hokkaido scallop with crab and caramelized carrot. Genuinely one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. A couple of dishes were liberal with the finishing salt, but the flavors, seasoning, creativity, and technique were top tier. Everything is cooked to order by the chef, and it showed -- every course came out beautifully prepared and cooked to perfection. The whole place feels like a passion project. The chef has spent decades in the industry, including time in Shanghai and Hawaii, and it feels like he and his wife basically said, "This is what we do, this is the food we love -- let's make a place for it." And I love that. There are some rough edges that come with making the space work for them, but the things that actually matter -- food, service, organization, and cleanliness -- were excellent. Even the single restroom was very clean and well kept. It's a small, intimate space, so I definitely recommend making a reservation. That said, they seemed genuinely accommodating to everyone who came through and clearly care about making people feel welcome. More than anything, the restaurant just felt happy. Everyone around us was having a great time, people were ordering liberally from the wine list, and by the time we left around 7, it felt like a room full of people who understood exactly what this place is about. GOGA isn't trying to win you over with a bunch of empty promises and trendy decor. It's about really good food, wine, and hospitality from people who clearly care about what they're doing. I'd love to see the space evolve over time, but never at the expense of the food or the wonderfully unique experience they've created. We'll absolutely be back -- brunch is next.

    To start out, I am a HUGE fan of Hawaiian food and Asian fusion cuisine; thus, I was very excited…read moreabout visiting GOGA to celebrate my birthday with my wife (who shares the same birthday) and my two kids. We found GOGA on Yelp and it seemed like it had just the right vibe (a laid-back atmosphere with the meticulous and intentional attention to detail that only a master chef can bring to a meal). I'll start out with the good. We were seated quickly (as the first reservation of the evening should) and they offered us a burger and fries option for our small children; this is nice since kids are often too picky to appreciate the mixture of flavors/textures on offer. My six-year-old had the burger and he reported that it was good (with one thumb up) but not great (two thumbs up); I think that if he had not removed the tomato and lettuce, it would have been better but he is a much tougher critic than me. On to the areas where improvement is needed. The chef's attitude toward small children is not inviting. For example, my son is small, 36". He does not put his feet on the chair because he wants to but because he needs to in order to prop himself up to a comfortable height. The chef yelled at him from the kitchen, "Tell the young man to put his feet down!" I get it, the chairs are upholstered in a leather material but a better approach would be to send the server over to communicate in a friendlier way, offer a booster, or to ask if he would be willing to remove his shoes if he needs to prop himself up in the chair. The next thing was the smoke. At one point before they decided to turn on the range hood the entire restaurant was filled with smoke that was pretty irritating and a bit alarming. They seemed to get it under control but the whole restaurant stayed musty at all times, it definitely needs more circulation. One idea would be to install a large folding door on the side of the restaurant next to the entry-way to create a sort of indoor/outdoor dining that makes use of the entry-ally way. It would also help to avoid the feeling of claustrophobia from being in such a small space. The prix fixe menu for the evening was a four-course meal at $95 that included the tuna sashimi salad, a lobster roll, American Wagyu, and raspberry tiramisu. The tuna salad was decent, very smooth, rich and well matched to the veggies and avocado. The lobster roll is where things started to fall apart. The bun was butter and overly salted and over-powered the meager bits of lobster that was included within. Last was the Wagyu (which we were highly anticipating due to having to wait 45 minutes after the lobster roll to arrive). Sadly, it was also over-salted, dry on the outside and chewy on the inside with a very gamey flavor (it was the worst steak I have had in a long time and definitely the worst Wagyu I have ever tasted). It was paired with a single spear of broccolini (extremely over-salted) and a large cut of heirloom tomato. Nothing about this pairing brought to mind Hawaii and its unique savory and sweet profiles but then again it just did not taste good. Last was the tiramisu. It was good, perhaps a bit heavy on the cream but overall good. The only other thing to note from this portion of the meal was that their only attempt at helping us celebrate our birthdays was a single heart-shaped candle which is nice but definitely minimal effort. As I was getting ready to sign the bill (around $400 total including a mimosa, three prix fixe, and a burger) the chef visited our table. I thought this was going to be a visit to ask how our meal was but instead he wanted to let us know that there were other guests waiting for our table... wait what?!? We arrived promptly at 5:30, they took 20 minutes to serve our salad, another 30 minutes to bring the lobster roll, 45 minutes to bring Wagyu, and 20 minutes to serve desert and somehow we are the ones holding things up?!? Frankly, I was too impressed by their total lack of self-awareness to get overly angry. Conceptually, I'm OK with the chef not adhering to the Hawaiian theme (regardless of the Hawaiian music playing throughout our visit) as long as they provide food quality that matches the fine dining price. Perhaps I visited on an off-night (since the menu is likely changing frequently) but for nearly $100 per person I expect better. Sadly, it looks like I'll still be waiting for a fine-dining approach to Hawaiian cuisine because GOGA just isn't it.

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.

    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!
