The Pressroom

Food was delicious! The highlights were the ahi tuna nachos and the bread pudding. I would come back for the bread pudding alone! Got the steak and it was well seasoned and tender. The drinks are really good too. I got the bourbon ledger and it was very well balanced for a whisky cocktail. They have indoor and outdoor seating and space to accommodate large groups but I recommend you call ahead and get a reservation because it's pretty crowded during peak times

I had low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. The service, the taste of the food and the whole place was a vibe. Every plate was perfection, we especially enjoyed the fried artichokes, baked Brie and fried chicken.. and our server Charles, did not miss!! Thank you, Pressroom!!

I’d give this place a solid 3 or 4 out of 5. Since they just opened, I’m cutting them a bit of slack—especially for the wait we had. My partner made a reservation for two on a Thursday night for my birthday after seeing a bunch of friends post about the opening. Booking was super easy online and we got seated right away, which was nice. The place was thoughtfully decorated and has a really clean, upscale vibe – the overall atmosphere was great. Our appetizer came out super fast, but we waited quite a while for our main dishes with no updates from the staff. The place was filled for a Thursday night but not overly crowded. The food itself was pretty good, just kind of pricey for how small the portions were. Here’s what we ordered: Poke Nachos – 3/5 Tasty, but the portion was tiny. We finished it in like five minutes. Pan-Seared King Salmon – 3/5 Cooked well, tasted fine, but nothing special. Crispy Pork Loin Katsu – 4/5 This was crispy and juicy. The mushrooms and potatoes it came with were delicious too. Overall, we definitely spent more time waiting for our food to come out than eating. Not sure I’d come back just yet, but it wasn’t a bad experience. Hoping they smooth things out as they get more settled.

Stopped by for a quick bite, the place is beautiful and the staff is very nice. We had the following: .Fried artichoke: The most filling out of the three items we tried but it's basically a lot of deep fried batter. It wasn't bad per se but it felt a little too much like carnival food. I'd only order this again as a filler dish. .Sautéed shrimp: beautifully plated. The sauce is a bit spicy but in my opinion the shrimp was just ok. Nothing special. .Steak bites: I liked the chimichurri sauce and the overall flavor of the meat was fine. However, a lot of the pieces were really tough to chew, this was really disappointing.

We had a dinner reservation on a Friday and we were sat in the main dining room immediately. The music was so loud that we asked to be moved, and we were!, but the music was still too loud for comfortable conversation. The space is pretty. We were given 3 menus for 4 people and they were mostly for lunch. We were then given a different set of 3 menus for 4 people. The food and drinks were mostly good. Hits were the birria rib, fried artichoke, grilled salmon, Thai steak salad, and pork katsu. The corn bread was tasty but a small portion for the price, and the ratatouille was bland. Great beer and gin cocktail. Our second drinks took so long to come we cancelled them. Our server was friendly but not in a rush to solve problems. There was a bottle of orange cleaner and rag sitting on a nearby counter in the dining area through much of our meal that several employees walked by and ignored. Overall it was expensive and tasty and loud with bumpy service.

Wow! Definitely the new & sexy place in downtown San Jose! We enjoyed perfect, handcrafted cocktails and several unique appetizers-everything was excellent. They have an extensive menu. The Pressroom is a beautiful restaurant and has a vibe. Great place for pau hana drinks, getting together with friends and for sure date night. Check it out, you'll be happy you did!

d a reservation at 7:45 and they sat us down immediately. Immediately you can tell the ambiance is very intimate and sexy. It's def a great place for a drink. We didn't order any appetizers but I ordered the correspondent at first for my drink. It was a little overpowering in the mezcal for me, which I don't really like so the waitress (Nina) switched it for the Smash or Pass which tasted SO much better for me. I understand if you like mezcal then you will definitely like the correspondent. Also Nina was SO lovely to us the whole evening. When I got my burger, my order was cold unfortunately so I just asked if they could reheat it but they completely made a new burger for me and took it off the bill. They totally didn't have to do that and I told them they could put it in the microwave and it wouldn't be a big deal but they went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. So customer service is absolutely 100/10. They even gave us a free dessert - crème brûlée and it was hella good. Overall the food was pretty good, and the burger's secret sauce was delicious. Def would come here for a girls night or a date night! My friend ordered a salmon and her order was delicious as well and my other friend ordered a Thai steak salad and she enjoyed it as well.

So fricken good! The Ribeye is absolutely incredible, one of the best I’ve had. We got Beef Wellington, Birria Ribs and Oysters too. All so good. Service was great. Oh and the drinks were great too! My favorites were the Smash or Pass, a berry vodka tonic and the Pear Review, a gin cocktail made with earl grey, honey and pear. Yum! Coming back for my birthday dinner next week! Can’t wait!!

The ambiance and service was great! Love the touches paying homage to the press/newspaper history. The food was delicious especially the ahi poke nachos and the Thai steak salad. The bourbon chai cocktail, the final notice was in point, spirit forward, but still well balanced.

Unfortunately did not make any off the soft opening events this past week but a few friends got a glimpse of the interior and loved it. Always good to see another great looking bar/restaurant make a splash in downtown San Jose. Will update this once I have a proper visit. Love the comic stylized art in main room.

The space was beautiful and welcoming, with excellent service. The poke nachos were perfectly prepared, and the cardamom chai cocktail was both balanced and delicious.

Super nice place. Outstanding service and food. Will definitely be back for more. Place is one of a kind.

Expertly prepared and delicious meals, stunning interior architecture and contemporary design. Very comfortable furniture and seating layout along with welcoming staff and excellent service.
