They have indoor and outdoor seating but I prefer indoor because the vibes are really nice and calm inside with the decor and open bar design. We ordered a TON of food and not one thing was bad. I especially loved the mushroom truffle pizza, chimichurri and ribeye steak. Sides were excellent too from the creamed spinach to the brussel sprouts. And you'd be surprised how many places can mess up French fries but B&B dis it perfectly. It was nice crispy and not too salty. And even if you're full to the max, get the chocolate chip cookies!!! They bake them fresh daily and you won't regret. Service was very attentive and informative. Only thing that threw us off was that for some reason all our food came out all at once, and we ordered a gooood amount. We barely had space to fit it on the table. Would have preferred appetizers then the entrees. Plenty of parking since it's located in a large plaza.

This was supposed to be a special birthday dinner date that my husband meticulously planned for me,…read morebut it turned into the most horrendous dining experience I've ever had. We dined at Lira on November 14th. The Service (or Lack Thereof): The Menu Shortage: We arrived for our 6:45 PM reservation only to be told by the manager that they didn't have enough menus. We were told they'd bring them "later." Ignored for 35+ Minutes: We sat with nothing but water for over half an hour. To make matters worse, a table of six was seated after us and received their full entrees while we were completely ignored. The Drink Mess: After 40 minutes, the server told me they were out of ingredients for my drink. When I picked a second option, she tried to insist I wanted a drink with celery (my most despised vegetable). We thankfully stopped her before it was made, but the incompetence was staggering. The Food Fiasco: An hour into our reservation, someone dropped off a scallop dish. A while later, a server asked if I'd "received the scallops yet," and I realized the plate I was eating wasn't even intended for our table. We were so starving that my husband and I just shared them. Once we finished, the server finally asked my husband if he "still wanted his meal or if he wanted to cancel it." I finally lost my cool - of course he still wanted his dinner! The Aftermath: My husband didn't realize that my friends had actually made a separate reservation to take me back to this same spot the following night for a second birthday celebration. After this performance, there was no way I was going to step foot in this building again or give them another cent of our money. I texted my friends from the table to cancel those reservations and book elsewhere. With service this disorganized and insulting, this restaurant won't be in business long. Super disappointing. Don't waste your special occasions here. *Edit - it looks like Lira has closed. With the service we experienced, I am not surprised in the slightest. I am hopeful that whichever future business occupies this space is more successful.

I had high hopes for this upscale Mediterranean spot in downtown Campbell. Lots of hype, but the…read morefood was average and service was all over the place. 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.

You just walk in. Like a human being. Like it's 1952 and people still did things that made sense. So my friends and I--and by friends I mean other middle-aged specimens who've decided we're not quite ready for the Early Bird Special circuit--we meet up for cocktails and oysters. And here's where it gets interesting: Their Oaxaca Mezcal selection. Folks, I'm drooling. I'm a grown man standing at a bar, salivating like Pavlov's golden retriever. It's embarrassing. It's beautiful. But the Old-Fashioneds? Holy Toledo, the Old-Fashioneds. I don't know what kind of wizard academy these bartenders graduated from--Hogwarts School of Mixology?--but these drinks border on actual magic. Generous pours, crafted with the kind of care usually reserved for newborn babies and vintage automobiles. You can taste the integrity in every sip. The place itself? Perfect booths, actual art on the walls, ambience that doesn't make you feel like you wandered into either a nursing home or a nightclub where everyone's young enough to be your kid. It's just... right. Five stars. Go there. Bring your middle-aged friends. Try not to drool too much over the mezcal. You're welcome.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Unfortunately the staff is not friendly. Now given I was there on a Friday during HH and before a popular movie, I can understand being busy but I truly felt like a bother. After ordering two drinks I also order two appetizers to which the bartender rolled her eyes at. Other than the less than decent service, one of the drinks we ordered had boba in it but served with small paper straw that the boba couldn't go through. Maybe I'm being petty about this one but the drinks also just didn't hit? They seemed pre-batched and lacked good flavor. We ordered wings and nachos. Wings had a weird texture and the nachos were mid. Two happy hour appetizers and two drinks were $65. While it's very convenient, there's so many other options in the Pruneyard, don't waste your time here.

But, they absolutely SURPASSED great when we booked their patio for our baby shower a few weeks ago. Melissa, their Event Coordinator was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She took on every single one of my questions (at all random hours,) requests, and changes with kindness and patience. She was always responsive and quick, which is super important for a frazzled, pregnant woman. Anthony, our designated bartender for the event was friendly, outgoing, and so amazing dealing with a more than average "rowdy" group. The service staff was on point the whole event, ensuring to pay attention to little details such as keeping the food fresh and replenished. We've received nothing but positive feedback from guests, from service to the tastiness of all the food options! We appreciated this experience so much that we'll be returning later this week to celebrate my son's graduation with our friends and family. Highly recommend Water Tower for any occasion- whether a quick brunch or dinner with an intimate group or a big celebratory occasion!

I ordered the Loco moco, comes with rice, a hamburger patty, 2 fried eggs "sunny side up" macaroni, salad, and gravy. The server ask me how I wanted my burger cooked? I said medium rare.

I had lunch here today with a friend and it was a wonderful experience…read more We arrived right when they opened at 11:30am. They are located in a shopping center on the corner of Union Ave and Los Gatos Almaden Road, in Los Gatos. When we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the owner. He was so nice. He let us pick where we wanted to sit. We found a nice table for the two of us and checked out the menus we were given. Our waitress came by with some cold waters and introduced herself. She kindly answered a few questions that we had. I decided to order their Baja Fish Tacos and my friend ordered the Elote Street Corn Salad with Tri-Tip. My tacos came with a choice of two sides. I chose black beans and guacamole. We also ordered some soft drinks. The inside is very nicely decorated. It's a very modern/hip vibe inside. They have a full bar with seating there. They also have several other seating options. Our food came out with in 19 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. My friend liked her salad. It was a nice size salad with a hefty portion of Tri-Tip. They brought her dressing on the side as she requested. My Baja Fish Tacos were amazing. They were huge and filling. The fish they use is cod and it has a light crispy batter that is not overly greasy. It came topped with shredded lettuce, Cajun remoulade, pico de gallo. The remoulade had a little spice to it and I loved it. I added, the side of guacamole on top of each taco, and I was in heaven. The black beans were a small portion but tasted good. Honestly, I was so full, I don't think I could have eaten more than what I was served. An overall excellent experience, delicious food with a friendly atmosphere. Our waitress gave us the best customer service. This is definitely the perfect neighborhood spot for good food and drinks. I look forward to returning with my husband for lunch and dinner.
