    Tower Fries
    Katie R.

    Shocked I haven't written a review for Water Tower Kitchen yet! I used to come all the time before Covid and I can't believe it took me this long to come back! I always really enjoyed the food, drinks, and atmosphere. It's a fun and lively spot with lots of natural light. The menu isn't super expansive, but they have a decent number of items and also offer some healthier bites. We recently came here to watch a college football game, they had three big projector screens, playing different games, as well as more TVs around the walls playing the games as well. It looked like most games were on at least two tvs, which was great so you could see them from whichever side you were sitting on. We opted to sit upstairs so that we could spend more time and have a good view of the screen. To eat we got the Tower Fries, which came with skirt steak that was really good, I was very impressed with the cook on the steak. We got some cocktails then opted for a high noon bucket since we were going to be there for a while. Service was friendly and they checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed!

    Love the food and the ambience here. This review is about great service. Walked in with a group of 10 people, including 4 young kids without a reservation. They had a table for us and we were seated with minimal wait. We ordered drinks and food for the kids. Told our waiter to bring the kids food out as soon as it was ready. Our waiter provided us with coloring sheets and crayons. That kept the older 3 occupied. The toddler wanted to roam. The staff and guests were very accommodating to our wandering toddler and the various adults in our party that followed them around. The adult food order got behind a large take out order, according to the wait staff and kind of dribbled out to us. The restaurant ended up comping us a drink on the last entree to arrive and gave us 2 free desserts. Our party found this more than far. Great service. Good food. Nice ambience. Thanks Water Tower!

    3.5 stars not badddd for American food. Has its own parking lot but fills up fast. We got here on a Wed at 12 on the dot and was able to snag the last big table for a party of 5 in the covered outdoor area. Great customer service For American food it wasn't shabby. I wanted my tower fries. Pretty much carne asada fries. My Mac n cheese was basic as well. It was company paid lunch so I'm not complaining. Need to come back and try other items the next time I come back here with work.

    Chicken Lettuce Wraps
    Arezou K.

    Came here and it did not disappoint! I ordered the lavender drink (so refreshing and not overly sweet), the miso salmon which was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, lettuce wraps that were super fresh, and the buffalo cauliflower bites that had the best crispy texture with just the right amount of kick. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. The vibe was relaxed and it's such a cute spot in Campbell. Definitely a place I'd come back to especially for that lavender drink again!

    Been wanting to try out Water Tower Kitchen for a while and finally came here! I've now visited two times within a short span and it's been nothing but great, honestly no big complaints on my end. Service and food both times have been consistent. Parking here is a little tough if you come on a busy weekend but you can park on the street. They have plenty of inside seating with a bar, they also have an upstairs but haven't been up there just yet. For the food its a couple of steps above bar food. I've tried their pretzel which is super large enough to share for 4 people. It was very warm and the dough was soft. As for the entree, both times I've gotten the loco moco. From the patty to gravy to eggs and mac salad, it just hits the spot. It's more Americanized then your classic Hawaiian dish (I know Hawaii is in the U.S but you know what I mean). I tried the fries and they are super crispy and good so I might get a burger and fries next time I come back.

    Tamarind margaritas
    Cynthia R.

    The smash burgers were hands down the best part of the entire meal! They were packed with flavor, and the fries were just as good. The margaritas were a little mid for my taste, but the appetizers were delicious and definitely worth ordering. We also loved the dessert (because there's always room for dessert!). The whole place has a really cute aesthetic with cozy barnhouse vibes that make it a great spot to hang out. Overall, a fun experience, and I'd definitely come back just for those smash burgers and fries alone! Also loved our waitress!

    Tower Fries Chicken Flautas
    Jeremy D.

    We went here after helping out a former coworker and I saw this place was in the area. I had the jambalaya with pasta, we also got burgers, loco moco, fries, and others. Drinks seemed good, people liked the mango bliss. The employees were friendly, one of my coworkers liked the sweater but they didn't make it and that seems like a missed opportunity for money and promotion. Nice vibes, cool place maybe will come back but it's a bit far for me.

    Spicy Margarita ($16)

    Date: Saturday, November 22nd, 2025 Time: 1:30pm Party of: 2 Meal: Brunch / Lunch Reservation Made Thru: Yelp a few weeks prior *Spicy Margarita ($16) *Mango Bliss ($7) *Croissant Waffle ($18) *Shrimp Ceviche ($18) *Tower Fries ($18) A girl friend and I decided to do a spa day of sorts nearby. Afterwards, we wanted food. I looked around and we picked Water Tower. I was already parked on the street so left my car there. (We were within walking distance.) My gf had parked in the lot and walked over earlier, so she left her car here. Basically parking is pretty easy here. One thing to note, they have TVs if you wanna watch sports. I always like know this when it's football / hockey / basketball season if I'm looking for a spot to go to during game time. We were sat in the dining room which had a TV we could watch. The spicy marg was light with a good amount of heat. I was driving so this was a good sipping cocktail. I really liked the croissant waffle. It was not too sweet, flaky, and crispy. The tower fries are a good staple. Good amount of toppings to make it substantial. The ceviche was all right. I could have skipped that. I wanted more citrus and freshness. But we wanted something savory to contrast the fries and the waffle. Cute place to grab brunch in Campbell. Note: They gave us a complimentary dessert / sweet treat which was much appreciated. A churro like waffle which was yummy. REVIEW #3924

    Hummus, nacho fries and buffalo chicken
    Erica T.

    Great place for drinks and food with friends. Service was great, very attentive but not pushy and extremely accommodating. We had a stroller and they were fantastic about making space for it. A lot of good food options, everything sounds good so we had a hard time deciding. Ended up going with the hummus, the nacho fries, and the buffalo chicken. Everything was delicious. Planning to go back to try other things on the menu. They also have a great selection of nonalcoholic drinks and a killer beer list.

    Loco Moco
    Nin J.

    Water Tower Kitchen was excellent all around. The service, food, and atmosphere were all on point. Reservations through Yelp was convenient, quick and easy From start to finish, everything felt well run and welcoming. We started with drinks and appetizers, and they did not disappoint. I ordered the Banana Negroni ($18) and it was perfectly balanced. Appetizers like the Mexican Street Corn ($11), Gilroy Garlic Shrimp ($17), Chicken Lettuce Wraps ($19), and Buffalo Cauliflower ($14) were delicious and great for sharing. For mains, there was something for everyone and every dish landed. Turkey Club ($19), Asian Chicken Salad ($18), Chili and Cornbread ($17), Philly Cheesesteak ($23), Baja Shrimp Salad ($29), and Loco Moco ($23) plates were all enjoyed with zero complaints. My Miso Salmon ($32) was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, the veggies were fresh and crispy, and the meal was very filling. Dessert wrapped things up nicely with the Ube Cheesecake ($10) and the Molten Chocolate Lava Cake ($10) both excellent. The drinks were on point, the appetizers were flavorful, and every main dish was well executed. Not a single complaint from the table. Highly recommend Water Tower Kitchen and would absolutely go back. Our server was great too. She was attentive, pleasant, and took her time with our large table. She checked in just the right amount. It's not my first time here and I won't be my last. It's a perfect spot for a group gathering.

    Came here for Sunday brunch. They have a farmers market so be ready to look for parking. The place is nice, it has tvs with all the games on. The service is quick and helpful with a full bar for cocktails. I got the spicy chicken sandwich and it was tasty. With the Cole slaw, it balances out the spice perfectly. Would definitely come here again, great place for groups.

    Lorenzo K.

    Came here with two work friends. The restaurant is in a great location with ample parking that is easy to find. Staff was friendly and our food all came out quickly. The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing and is a great place to catch a game and have some food/drinks. I highly recommend a visit!

    Loco Moco
    David B.

    Was in the area with a couple friends. Saw this place had good reviews, so decided to check it out. Lots of options on the menu. Took almost twenty minutes to order. Workers just kept passing by our table. We ordered several items. Some really good, some really bad. We got the garlic noodles with shrimp. Best dish we had. The mac & cheese with bacon and garlic was good also. The Philly cheesesteak was very underwhelming. Do not get. Portions of meat and cheese were little and lacked flavor. My wife got the loco moco. This was the worst. She was served a very undercooked burger patty. Looked raw in some parts. We ended up sharing a desert. The churro waffle. It was really good. This place had its ups and downs, but the service, and undercooked burger patty brought the low rating.

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.

She treated us like friends, and that's the kind of hospitality that keeps customers coming back. Unfortunately, our experience changed because of a man with tattoos on his hands and neck who appeared to be a manager or a supervisor. While Nieves was answering our questions and taking great care of us, he was sitting at the bar on his laptop talking with another employee. He interrupted her and told her to stop "chit-chatting" with us and go work in the back. As guests, that was uncomfortable to witness because she wasn't just chatting-she was providing outstanding customer service. After that, she seemed much quieter and hesitant to come back whenever he was nearby. Nieves was the highlight of our visit, and we truly hope she's treated with the respect she deserves. We'd absolutely come back to see her again for more whiskey and cocktail recommendations.

And of course, we always order the caviar because... why not? The vibe here is everything. Whether it's girls' night, date night, or a celebration, there's always an amazing crowd. The DJ knows exactly how to read the room and keeps everyone singing along/ dancing with banger after banger. One night there was even a live saxophonist who absolutely stole the show, it made the whole experience feel so special!

No big deal, as I wanted the bar anyway, but something others should keep in mind. The cocktail list is plentiful and intriguing. I tend to avoid tequila, so that eliminated a good chunk of the options. I went with Rose Colored Lenses, which was fantastic, and decently sized. Presentation was beautiful. My friend had All a Dream, also very good. The wine offerings are minimal, this is very much a cocktail or champagne type of place, with caviar being the primary food service. Speaking of service, the bartender was excellent, both in his mixology and demeanor. It took awhile to get the drinks, but I assume that was due to the complexity of the cocktails, paired with having just opened the doors a few min earlier. Two notes: 1. The barstools were a little too low, imo. I don't normally pay much attention to that detail, but these were uncomfortably low for me, even with my long torso, I was hyper aware of my posture. So maybe that's actually a good thing 2. Other patrons were rolling in shortly behind me, so there is probably an early crowd when they first open, then a late night group that appreciates the 2am closing time. Interior is beautiful, and you can use the steps up to the 2nd floor either from N Santa Cruz or the rear parking lot off W Main. More substantial food options are a mere few steps across the hall at Heritage.

The staff fully embraced the speakeasy theme with their attire, and the ambiance was immersive from start to finish The Annabelle mezcal cocktail was outstanding: refreshing with just the right bite. The presentation, complete with the smoke-filled bubble you get to pop, added a fun, theatrical touch. The food had a creative Asian-inspired twist throughout. The beef skewer was tender and juicy, the soba noodles were packed with flavor and texture in every bite, and the hamachi was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. An all-around memorable dining experience

Can still remember the gourmet dogs and duck fat fries back in the days... Awesome what they did to the place. The new set up with the dim lights and neon menu is noice. Ended up chilling at the front bar. Definitely will return to explore the back at a later time. Food: A We got to sample a variety of goodies and drinks from the menu, which definitely hit the spot. The skewers were cooked just right with a kiss of smoke from the grill. The takoyaki were good as expected--yum. We ended the excursion with the milk bread; it was surely a crowd-pleaser. It was fluffy goodness, topped with furikake, and served with a side of decadent house butter. Drinks were perfectly crafted and refreshing. Service: A We were chilling at the bar and got to hang with staff. Cool folks, will be back. - John

This location performs shows (done by the staff) on the hour, every hour. The shows are choreographed by the owner of the bar & by the end of the night, the entire staff has been in at least 1 number. These dance numbers are SOOO fun & SOOO good! There is no where in San Jose that is doing what this place doing. The staff comes around & gives shots (plus a show, obvi), also there is a certain drink you can order where they will put on a show for you as well. There is a dance floor for dancing & the DJ is great at reading a room! I cannot believe how fun this place is, or how it is not PACKED yet. Skip your silly little bars & get down here ASAP. The menu is pretty big, & while I have no had food here yet, the menu drinks are great! If you are looking for a super great time with full entertainment, look no further. This please is fabulous!

Great selections, not too extensive. I got the Guacamole con Chicharron, simply amazing!! Tender hunks of meat, crispy chips & fresh guacamole. Large serving, took some home. My friends got the Nachos, great to share, tender meat and loaded with all the goodies. The fantastic part is at the top of each hour is the SHOW!! Some of the staff get on stage (& off) and dance! So amazing!! We'll be back for sure!! Please visit!!

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.

And they don't allow outside food in even if the food was leftover in Togo bags from dinner. The place was busy when we finally went inside. But the bartenders were fast and we got two rounds of drinks as far as we could order. The dim lighting did look reddish. The large tables were reserved but there plenty of smaller high tops around. Memorable drinks were the perfect pear and the Andean Ascent. Perfect pear was not fruity at all and had a nice aroma and spice to it. The Andean ascent was a nice drink to start with, refreshing with a bit of fizz.
