Water Tower Kitchen is a cozy place and a sports bar. It also has a second floor but no one goes there probably because either they close off that section or no one wants to dine up there. I really like the atmosphere but it kinda looks confusing because it looks more modern at ground level while the ceilings look more industrial. I really like the taste of the fries and especially when they served them in a small basket. From the Chicken Sando, there’s more taste from the bread and the coleslaw than the chicken itself. It seemed that they use chicken breast for it due to its lack of taste, but better seasonings can make the sandwich stand out more. From the menu, they seem to have limited options, but I would try other food to give myself another chance.

made a reservation for Friday at 1pm but it wasn't too crowded. The ambiance is homey and with back patio, you can bring your animal friends, too. All of the staffs were so friendly and attentive! For drinks, I really enjoyed Tipsy Gold Rush, clarified milk punch with Hennessy, pineapple, walnut, saffron - it literally tasted like juice. The Orchard Bliss was also fabulous with nice foam on top. Food, we got the Pretzel that comes with delicious mustard and beer sauce, chicken flautas, and the smash burger, which comes with a side of fries. All of the food came out fast, hot, and simply delicious. They have a wide selection of food genre so surely there's something for everyone.

I have to say this probably one of the best restaurants I have been to in a long time. Food was top notch, servers were a joy to talk to. I will absolutely be going back for their Mac n Cheese.

We love Water Tower Kitchen! Not only have we eaten here a few times I but we even ordered food to-go and it was still great! Our first time here, we were in the area for an appointment and were trying to figure out what to eat for lunch. We noticed that Water Tower Kitchen had a lot of great reviews and was walking distance from where we were. It was a weekday so luckily it wasn't crazy busy. This place actually gets really busy on the weekends and is even busier when there's a sports game on. We were sat down right away and or order was taken a few minutes after. We ordered the artichoke and spinach crostini, downtown Mac and cheese, grilled cheese, and the burger. the artichoke and spinach crostini came out first and I was so surprised how delicious it was! The bread was a little crunchier than I preferred, but the artichoke and spinach topping was really good! I wasn't a fan of the Mac and cheese. It was the type with a bechamel so I think it just needed to be seasoned a little more. The grilled cheese was great! Very cheesy! The burger was really big and was also delicious. Another nice surprise was the fries that came with the burger and grilled cheese! They were nice and crispy. We ended up coming back and bringing some family with us and this time around, we ordered the chicken and waffle and the French toast. The French toast was super fluffy and soft but I think it could have used a little more vanilla in the batter. The chicken and waffle was really good, but I would suggest the chicken being seasoned a little more as well. Overall, we love coming here and I've actually ordered the artichoke and spinach crostini MULTIPLE times to-go! I order to-go a lot from here because the weekends get busy especially with the Farmer's Market on Sundays. Parking is a little tough as well. But we've continued to come back here and have always loved the different foods we've tried.

10/10 restaurant! The food and drinks here are amazing. We got the buffalo cauliflower and the chicken lettuce wraps for apps and they were amazing. The buffalo cauliflower here is one of the best I've ever had. The espresso martini and the butterfly pea drink is truly amazing. They have great options here to try so definitely make sure to try it if you haven't already. The service is great and incredibly fast. The restaurant is cute and has a great ambiance. They also have a bunch of tvs to watch different games!

I have been twice now, it's good. I have had the smash burger and the Philly cheesesteak, both were very good, very fresh. Service was great, the waitresses that I had were just attentive enough, very nice. Ambiance is nice, I its not too laud and it's not in your face.

What a great Menu and a beautiful day in Downtown Campbell. The entry was a lil difficult to find if you haven't been here before. Our waitress was delightful during this busy mid morning early afternoon shift. We odered 2 cocktails and chips and salsa to start. I order a BLT club and fries which was a perfect choice for a day like today. They have a great varied menu with a good amount of options. We sat in the outdoor patio which was pretty lively. I certainly will be back to try more of the menu.

Had a fantastic time at Water Tower Kitchen! The atmosphere is vibrant, with a great balance of indoor and outdoor seating. The red tables add a fun pop of color to the setting, making it feel lively and inviting. Now, onto the food and drinks: * Brunch was amazing! The avocado toast with scrambled eggs was delicious--perfectly creamy and well-seasoned. The side of granola, fresh pineapple, strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries added a refreshing touch to the meal. * Cocktails were on point. The espresso martini was smooth and well-balanced, with a nice frothy top and coffee beans for garnish. Also enjoyed a refreshing drink with a lime garnish, which paired perfectly with the sunny outdoor setting. * Bonus points for the aesthetic details! The floor tile that says "Nice Shoes" is a fun touch, making for a great photo moment. Service was friendly and efficient, and I'd definitely come back for another brunch or even an evening cocktail. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area!

Food 3/5 Service 3/5 Ambiance 3/5 As a solo diner and sitting at the bar, I realize I sometimes may not get the best service. This place is definitely a "locals" spot and as someone who's here visiting and given a high recommendation from a friend, I was a bit disappointed. I don't drink so the bartender seemed a bit put off that I didn't order a drink. I ordered the blackened chicken and it was a okay. The chicken was a bit chewy and the dish was labeled as a spicy dish but there was really no spice to it at all. The roasted veggies and the mashed potatoes were pretty decent. I did order a dessert to go and got the waffle. It held up on my drive home and the gelato did stay frozen. I'm hoping that if you had table service and maybe dined with people who were more local to the area the experience would be better but I was a little let down.

My husband and I were staying in Campbell for the weekend and decided to meet up with our friends and their family for brunch. Our friends had heard about Water Tower Kitchen and we decided to to meet there. We were able to park conveniently in the lot directly in front of the restaurant. We didn't have reservations, but were seated immediately on the patio. The patio was comfortable, with fun music playing and several heaters to keep us warm on a January day. The patio was family and dog friendly. I had looked at the menu online before we had decided on the restaurant, but hadn't realized that we were there for the brunch only menu. When I saw the menu online, there salad options that were not included in the brunch menu. I felt that the menu we had to choose from was pretty limited. Service wasn't the best, but everyone who worked there was really friendly. Our server filled the waters, but was one glass short and didn't seem to notice that he had missed a member of our party. Later when he came to take the orders, he forgot to take the order from that same person. It took a little time, but we were able to remedy the situation. As I was unable to order the menu item that I had seen online, I chose the avocado toast, as it seemed to be one of the few healthier things on the menu. I didn't try any of the cocktails, but some of our party enjoyed beer and mocktails. When our food came, the avocado toast was really delicious. It had perfectly cooked eggs that were beautifully runny and added a lot of flavor to the toast. I also liked the everything bagel seasonings. My husband chose the breakfast sand that he said he enjoyed. The service was better once we finally had gotten our order in. I actually really enjoyed my meal and the comfortable patio seating. The rest of our group was happy as well. It turned out to be a great place to visit with friends in a relaxed environment. If I lived nearby, I would made this place a regular stop, but I might come other times of day to try items that are on the regular (non-brunch) menu.

Been here quite a few times, food is amazing, they have indoor & outdoor seating. They have vegetarian options, which was very helpful when I went here with a friend who was vegetarian, especially so that it gave them options on what to eat. The staff are very sweet, attentive & quick. It is dog friendly for outdoor seating & big group friendly (I've mainly eaten outside and have experienced seeing big groups for outdoor seating, not too sure about indoors, but pretty positive they will accommodate for you). Upon entering the restaurant, restrooms are right on your right hand side. And it's also wheelchair accessible for both indoor & outdoor experiences.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon for brunch and was surprised it was not busy at all! My party of 4 and I were sat right away. There was an event going on nearby resulting in the parking lot being full capacity, so I would suggest parking across the street or find street parking if this is the case for your visit as well. The atmosphere of the restaurant gave a very industrial feel, with a cute loft that provided more seating + a bar that opens for busier days. The food came out really fast and everything was delicious and fresh, especially the shrimp ceviche! The açaí bowl was refreshing, croissant waffle was soft and provided the perfect amount of sweetness, and the tower fries were super flavorful. My party and I also ordered a pitcher of the Lily's Rose Punch and that gave us a drink and a half for all four of us which was perfect. We did find a piece of plastic in our acai bowl but honestly didn't make too much of a fuss about it.. we just brought it to our servers attention for the sake of other customers potentially receiving the same piece of plastic in their acai bowls and they were nice enough to take it off our bill. Regardless of that, I will still be coming back because the food, service, and overall vibe of the place was great. Definitely a perfect spot to catch up w friends or family. I have to try the desserts next time!

Great local gastropub/sports bar/ event space in downtown Campbell within sight of the original water tower. Facility looks like a renovated olde timey building, when Campbell was its own thing and not part of the San Jose sprawl. There's upstairs a main floor tables, as well as well as a good sized outdoor eating area. Not a huge menu, but selections over a wide area of the food spectrum. Full bar offerings with a good selection of local craft beer, as well as good choices, imaginative NA and alcoholic cocktails. Chicken nuggets for the kids. I had the chili, others ordered various burgers on the menu. The crowd was definitely locals and pretty casual. Something for everyone here. Stop by for good meal.

This is such a good brunch spot. Their espresso martini is one of the best I've had. Went with a bunch of friends and service was great. Chicken and waffles, breakfast burrito, chilaquiles, and steak and eggs all got favorable reviews from everyone at the table. I love spots with concise brunch menus, cause you know each dish will be well taken care of. My only gripe was that they don't have sausage links as a side. Only a patty or a big linguica. That's just my own thing, however. I've been here during Sunday football - and it is the PLACE TO BE.

I came on a Saturday afternoon and luckily there was no wait. We were immediately seated in the outdoor patio. There were a lot of tables inside the pack, I can definitely see this place getting packed on a busy night. To start I ordered a Lily Rose Punch cocktail which was so delicious, it tasted like juice. I got the WTK fried rice and the buffalo cauliflower. The portions were great sharing sizes. The cauliflower had a nice breading and strong buffalo taste. I really enjoyed it as an appetizer. The fried rice was very flavorful and had some bacon bits in it. I thought it was delicious and hearty. The weather was nice and the outdoor patio was great. I saw some folks with their dogs so this place is dog friendly! I'll definitely come back again with my friends.

Had an excellent Sunday afternoon game day here! We made a reservation in advance and got a great table, where we could see all the TVs/games. There were a lot of other football fans with the same plan as us, which made watching the games fun. The food was great, they had a lot of great options for sharing. The Mac and cheese is a must order! The drinks were also great and our waitress was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a spot to watch sports games with friends/a group- water tower is your spot! I highly recommend making a reservation in advance as it gets pretty busy on game days.

Such a good place for date night or a dinner and drinks with friends. While parking is a bit of a hassle, getting seated is not. We made a reservation on Yelp and were seated as soon as we arrived. They have indoor and patio seating, we chose the patio. The food came out quick and was super good! The burger was well done and the fries were extra crispy. My paloma was refreshing and very well made (aka heavy pour). The staff was super helpful and attentive, and the environment was great for a Friday night

Love coming here! Great for the service, drinks, food and atmosphere. Our server was attentive, fun, and even gave us trip recommendations for an upcoming vacation. I ordered the ceviche and my friends got the club and Asian chicken salad. Food was fresh, and service was fast. They have a bunch of tvs inside for sports as well as a really nice outdoor seating area as well. They have a great cocktail menu too. Definitely check it out if you're in Campbell.

came here once before on a Sunday around 1 & it was PACKED - wait was 45min so we bounced glad this time we were half an hour earlier & could sit right away outside was spacious but not in terms of the tables being apart - table next to us had five huskies & it got LOUD ; I do prefer to have the tables spaced out quite a bit more just cus you never know! need to protect my babies lol I didn't know if they provided water bowls so I had to ask - and they did ! they also had heaters and lamps up for warmth but it was hella drying my contacts out so I asked to have the one right above us turnt off steak & eggs were pretty average - there were perhaps only maybe 1-2 slices that were actually to the temp I'd asked for - the rest were DEF not medium rare lol ; the potatoes weren't hash browns but it was like chunks of potato fried into a big patty?? was interesting lol. eggs were standard - perfectly fine sunny side up, yay loco moco - choice of white rice or upgrade to brown rice - I really liked this bc it wasn't very salty :) way better than orchard city kitchen for sure drinks were pretty sugary - straight up thought I was drinking juice the chicken was standard but the waffle oh MAN the WAFFLE THE CROISSANT WAFFLE was to die for it was so good I don't even have words (also I've never had a croissant waffle before so maybe they're all this good) but it was SO GOOD. nice and crunchy in some parts, but perfectly fluffy & not too buttery

Such a cute and fun place to hang out! I've been here a few times previously and sat the patio but decided to sit indoors today. The servers are always attentive and really quick to respond. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and presentation is always top notch. My Asian Chicken Salad was so flavorful and really filling! Also love all the pretty cocktails they have here. A great spot overall to eat in Campbell.

We came here for lunch as a family. They have a modern, hip vibe with a nice patio that also hosts private events sometimes. We ordered the burger with fries, loco moco, Brussels sprouts, and shrimp appetizer. The shrimp was too salty, but everything else was very tasty. For drinks we got a cold brew and spicy margarita. I didn't really like the cold brew, because I am used to it being a little foamier and sweeter. My husband liked the margarita, but mentioned it is heavy on the tajin. Our server was friendly and attentive. It is a pretty welcoming atmosphere for kids too.

Just recently had a great meal with friends and family at Water Tower Kitchen! It was my first time here, but our family had gone before and really enjoyed! There were endless amounts of options to choose from, and the pretzel sticks, grilled cheese, and creamed corn were great starters, that I highly recommend! The service was fast and friendly, the atmosphere was comfortable, and we all enjoyed!

I met up with a friend here for lunch. I got the blackened chicken with mashed potatoes and roasted veggies. The chicken was very well seasoned. I tried some of my friend's fries and a bite of her tequila lime chicken, which is in a bed of fettuccine. All delicious choices!

Yelp
The ambiance of Water Tower Kitchen is 10/10 whether you are outside on the patio or inside. The energy is upbeat and the staff clearly loves their work environment. The service is quick, friendly and helpful. The food is delicious from appetizers to the entrees to the desserts and the drinks are a must! We have been here multiple times and everyone we've tried a different item and we have not yet tried something we didn't like. Every item is savory and filling. Must get appetizers: cauliflower, ceviche, and the chips and queso! Entrees to try: spicy chicken sandwich, blackened chicken, uncle Dave's chili! Head over to Water Tower Kitchen and tell Nick and Russ that the Kubota's sent you!

For a beer joint, I had higher expectation. But maybe it was not their aim. Came at 3pm, weekday, and asked for outdoor seating. They have this covered patio with powerful fan to counter the scorching sun. It was actually nice. The waitress came and took our order and everything went well. When she came checking in, we asked for a "fruity" beer and she recommended beer of the month. It turned out to be a sour-beer, and she never came checking in on how her recommendation fared. Well, I am not a sour beer person and expected it mentioned. It wasn't really "fruity" either. I complained to a bus person and she went check with the server. A minute later, she came back with another beer. The original server was no where to be seen. Later, she came to present the tab. I did mobile-pay and she just left with the machine on the table. Up till the time we got up to leave, she had not returned. Foods was decent. Artichoke and Spinach Crotini were delicious and filling. Brussel Sprout was on the sweet side, grilled quite nicely.

Yelp
Water Tower Kitchen is right in downtown Campbell. The place is really nice, clean and modern (with a few deliberate splashes of classic decor). The service is really friendly and responsive. We got seating immediately upstairs which is a nice bar/loft area. The chicken Sando is pretty good. The chicken is well cooked and the bun is nicely toasted. Fries are good but the basket is pretty small. I think the chicken sandwich needs a bit more flavor. Maybe some pickles or fried onions? The southwest chicken salad was a bit disappointing. Everything was a bit dry and the dressing was more of a bbq sauce than a salad dressing. I'd definitely go back but probably get a different salad.

Kelly M.

Yelp
This is a loud sports bar-type restaurant on Orchard City Drive. There is a parking lot, but space is limited. The food is good here, and we had good service as well. I had the grilled cheese sandwich and tomato bisque. The sandwich was quite rich and tasty. The bisque was okay, but I prefer a creamier tomato soup. I also had a side of grilled veggies which was very good. My husband had the chili. The server very kindly brought him a sample beforehand, since he had asked if it was spicy. It turned out to have just a bit of a kick, so he ordered it. It comes with a sweet-ish cornbread and he got a side salad with it; the salad looked really good. He certainly enjoyed his food. I would definitely return here and perhaps try the mac & cheese next time.

Yelp
Overall, the dining experience left much to be desired with bland and dry entrees receiving a lackluster 2/5 rating. However, the appetizers were the star of the show with a satisfying 4/5 score, making it an ideal spot for sports enthusiasts to enjoy their favorite games. Service was notably attentive and courteous, enhancing an otherwise forgettable visit. 1. tower fries - 4.5/5 2. bao bun - 3.5/5 3. hummus - 4.5/5 4. garlic noodles - 2.5/5 5. garden pasta - 1.5/5 6. downtown mac & cheese - 3/5 7. loco moco - 3.5/5 8. lettuce wrap - 4/5 9. blue cheese bacon burger - 2.5/5 10. strawberry lemonade - 5/5 11. lily's rose punch - 4/5

Some friends and I had dinner here recently and really enjoyed it. It was my first time there. I loved the decor of the restaurant. Loved the green velvet chairs and the live edge wood table we sat at. Looks like a nice outdoor patio too but it was too cold the night we were there. Our waitress was attentive. Even got us more pita for our hummus platter when we ran out. We shared the HUMMUS: organic hummus, Mediterranean chickpea salad, marinated heirloom tomatoes, lavash cracker, pesto, pita bread & cucumber. This was very flavorful. Lots of nice bits of goodness on top. For my entree, I had the CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS: house marinated chicken, romaine lettuce, pickled carrots, marinated cucumbers, cilantro, scallions, red bell peppers, watermelon radish, sweet chili soy sauce & peanut sauce GF. These were really tasty. Only complaint is the big pieces of chicken. Would have been nicer as smaller pieces. But the flavor was great. Lots of fun toppings to put in. Loved both sauces. Overall a nice entree. I also had their mule cocktail. This had a nice ginger bite. My friends had a variety of dishes, mostly the salads. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Service was good. The host even came outside with us to take a picture for us in their oversized Adirondack chair. Nice selfie moment.

Came here on a whim. Just happened to be passing by and we decided we were hungry. We were seated in the patio are, which is definitely a vibe, and the weather was so nice that day. There was, absolutely, nothing to be mad about that day. Beautiful day, good company, and quick, friendly service. The food here was good. If I was to describe it, I would say it was basic, American fare. Definitely a solid choice for a meal. I really enjoyed that the atmosphere was not too loud. I was able to talk to my friend without straining to hear each other, but also I was able to talk normally (I'm loud) without feeling like I was disrupting others. Would definitely come back to this spot when I'm in the area.

The place is definitely a vibe upstairs! The seats are flashy and comfortable. The server was serving and he was kind, efficient and accommodating to such a large party. The espresso martini was delicious, the queso was scrumptious and lots of options on the menu. I had the avacado tacos and they were tasty. The parking was ok and seating did not require full party to be seated they were super accommodating in taking us early and friendly all around.

Honestly the food didn't really hit but maybe I was just not in the right mood. My bf loved this place though so maybe this restaurant just isn't for me. The service was great but the food just wasn't good, even more so considering the price. The downtown Mac & cheese is just okay (2.5/5). It was dry and wasn't cheesy enough for my preference. We even got bacon bits added and that didn't help it. I've had better Mac and cheese at home and again for the price, this should have been better. Tower fries (3/5) was disappointing. This is nachos but fries version (and I think tortilla chips would have been better). Don't get me wrong--everything was good, but it was missing a lot of key ingredients that could make this way better. It didn't have crema or pickled jalapeños which imo would balance this out. The beef was all right but I would have preferred chicken. Maybe this just wasn't for me cuz I clearly wanted something else lol. Bf enjoyed this though so who knows. The burger (2/5) was bland. It was overcooked, dry, and didn't have much flavor. It had their homemade sauce apparently but I couldn't taste it at all. The ketchup helped it a lot and the homemade ranch that our waiter provided helped a TON. The garlic fries were a good sub for regular fries. For $20 it should have been better. I would have enjoyed my in-n-out burger more. Overall I'd be skeptical to come back here because i wasn't satisfied with my meal. I can see why everyone was talking about the ranch though cuz it's very good. Everything else was okay. They need to work on the burger cuz that was one of the worst ones I've had in a while.

Had a great server (Sam) who got the ball rolling right away. The brussel sprouts and the shrimp appetizer started the meal off on the right track . Our drinks were perfect and the food even better. Was able to catch my Knicks while I enjoyed my company and the environment for dinner. Definitely will be back and recommend if you're in the area book a reservation and get there early enough to find a parking spot ... all is so worth it.

Love this place! Food is good and the drinks are pretty good too. They have TV's to watch the game or enjoy a chat with friends.

We dined here on their cute outside patio. We ordered burgers & fries. Burger was perfectly cooked & the fries were hot & crispy. The turkey club was good with the addition of fresh cucumbers. I was in the mood for a pasta. They had angel hair pasta, which I'm not a fan of angel hair pasta. I ordered the garlic noodles & this dish just blew me away. The noodles were al dente, the garlic was just the right amount.the whole dish was so well seasoned. I'm definitely going back for the garlic noodles. The service was amazing!

I was impressed with the Water Tower Kitchen. When I made the reservation, I had no clue it was a sports bar. If you don't have Sunday Ticket and you want to watch your favorite NFL team, this is the place. There are TVs everywhere, so should be no excuses if can't find your team. What's cool, but I didn't take advantage of, is that you can order from both breakfast and lunch menu. I chose the French Toast. It was good. I wish it was hotter. But I imagine it sat for a bit. I expect that in restaurant. I also a side of sausage. It's kind of disappointing that sausage isn't part. Other places, it's $12-17 meal. Here it turns out to be $20. The service was ok. I would have given a bigger tip, but I'm type will give a bigger depending on how much the waiter/ waitress fawns over me. Come by and see how I'm doing and constantly fill my coffee cup. I got one refill. I could have gone for a couple of more. But hey, they have a business to run and keep expenses down. One more thing... I was surprised how low the noise level was. I definitely want to go there again and try their burger. It looked awesome.

I came here for a girls brunch and had a great time. All the food and drinks were delicious. The espresso martini was super delicious and hit the spot. Our server was kind and tentative!

We've been here four times with the two most recent being August 24 and September 23, 2024. The service has always been very good and the food, fabulous. The hummus was good and the chicken strips can easily be a meal by themselves. We have thoroughly enjoyed the roasted salmon, the cheeseburger, and the fried chicken sandwich. They have an excellent specialty cocktails and tasty mock tails also.

Came for a solo brunch on Sunday and was one of 2 people at the bar, the other being a gentleman who was talking with the male bartender. Jill, who didn't even seem to be working at the bar, came right up and got me menus and water. Her colleague continued his conversation with the other customer for a few minutes and then went to the other end of the bar to make drinks for the servers, not acknowledging me. This went on for almost 10 minutes, when Jill came back and asked if I'd ordered a drink yet. When I told her I hadn't been acknowledged by the other bartender, she immediately took my order, made my drink and brought it right to me. Very impressed with her service, you should remediate the other one immediately.

Showed up on a Saturday afternoon and we heard some awesome R&B music from their back patio area. I was so excited! It turned out to be private party but I happily enjoyed the music from inside the restaurant. We were seated upstairs with a fun vantage point overlooking the restaurant. They had huge tvs which I'm sure makes it easy to watch sports when it's on. Our waitress came by to take our drink orders. I had a spicy margarita and he had a Paloma. My drink was so good! Spicy margs are so hit or miss but this was perfectly balanced. Not too spicy but had good flavor from the jalapeno and still sweet and tart enough. My favorites were the churro waffle and the buffalo cauliflower. So much sauce on the cauliflower and a good portion size!! And the churro waffle was crunchy and cinnamony without being overly sweet. The fruit gave it a nice touch and ice cream never hurts. My ceviche was good but nothing too special. His tower fried were tasty but I think the meat was a little over done. Generous amount of guacamole tho! Def would come back for a weekend brunch.

What a gem. I lived in campbell for many years and never tried this place. I missed out. The spicy chicken sandwich was amazing. The right spice the right taste overall amazing. Had a salad as well with freshness and amazing dressing that was not too light. It's a fun place with a cool vibe. The service was fast. I will definitely be coming back.

I am biased, but I have eaten here consistently for almost 6 years and love this place! Favorites: -Fried Chicken Sando -Tower Fries -Queso -Asian Chicken Salad (sub fried chicken) -Caesar salad w/ Blackened Chicken or Shrimp *Flautas are new on the menu and really good. Brunch is also equally delicious and available on Saturday and Sunday. Must try: -Fried Rice -Loco Moco -Chilaquiles (Spicy!!) -Breakfast Burrito (French fries instead of potatoes) -Waffles are a croissant waffle, salty and sweet. I've hosted multiple events from Baby Showers, birthdays, Celebrations of Life, even a Wedding! The space and catering options are great and the staff is always a pleasure to work with. AND- once a month they host a Boozy Bingo with Besties Boutique on their patio. They always have fun events going on, follow their instagram to stay up to date. :)

AMBIANCE: Came here because I was looking for an outdoor area with heating lamps. It was easy to make a reservation online, and you can even select outdoor eating as a preference. Outdoor area is very cute and "Instagrammable". SERVICE: Service is very 3 stars and bare minimum. When my husband and I entered the outdoor area (mind you this was our first time here), the server didn't even acknowledge us or help direct us. It was a bit off putting to be looked at and then have her inhospitably walk past us at a casual pace. She could have taken 5 seconds to ask us if we needed help. FOOD: menu is limited, especially with non meat options. While there are a few vegetarian options, it doesn't seem there are any vegan ones. The menu does have "v" next to some items, but there is no key that clearly says if that represents vegan or vegetarian (and I assumed vegetarian after reading the menu again). I got or the veggie tacos and my husband got the breakfast burrito. Food was flavorful and fresh, but portion sizes were okay and burrito could have been a little healthier (removing fries). The tacos were also lacking some side (a few tortilla chips is very bare minimum). Salsa spicy levels could be communicated ahead of time. Fresh fruit was delicious and served beautifully. Would return but not in a rush to do so.

My husband and I decided to have brunch here after my graduation and everything exceeded expectations. Right after we walked in and sat down, the server asked us what we were celebrating and immediately proceeded to ask- "Tequila, vodka, or whisky?" LOL We were then handed not one but two large shots of tequila on the house! Simply amazing. I ordered the Loco Moco and my husband had the Cali Breakfast Burrito and both were really good. I also had the Butterfly Effect cocktail and my husband had a Bloody Mary. He said it was one of the best Bloody Marys he's ever had (I'm assuming he liked the spiciness). Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and it was a great way to celebrate. Cute vibes, good food/drinks, and awesome service. 10/10 would recommend.

We went here for my birthday. We had a lot to eat that day and so wanted an easy dinner and some drinks. Searching thro yelp reviews this place popped up and Im glad we went here. It's a small place but is designed for small groups of 4 (ideally). Im sure larger groups are also welcome but then it can get noisy. We were seated quickly and presented their famous drink menu. Obviously we ordered their award winning drink and a few others. We ordered a mix of their dishes (vegetarian and meat dishes). It's been a month and so can't completely remember all the dishes and drinks. But it's definitely a place to go to wind down and spend some quality time with the wife. certainly a place for small groups and no kids as they are a bar.

LOVE this spot for a quick casual weekday dinner. My partner and I usually sit at the bar. Our favorite bartender is Zach. Not only is he super friendly but he's attentive! He remembers not only our names but our drink orders and checks up on us regularly throughout our visit. I've tried a wide variety of their menu items including chicken tenders, chicken lettuce wraps, grilled cheese, Cobb salad, the pasta dishes and many more. Everything I had was tasty and cooked to perfection. (I'm a picky eater so I usually modify many of their dishes.) Highly recommend giving this a try if you're in the area. Full disclosure: it tends to get really busy when there are local sports games going on so if you are trying to catch the game, I would recommend planning to arrive to Water Tower Kitchen before the game begins.

Water Tower is a great spot for Brunch & Lunch. I came here yesterday for brunch with my cousins and we all had a splendid time. We were seated outside in their back patio which is nice and relaxing but wasn't a fan of the swarming flies that kept coming by. Their menu is pretty good with a decent amount of food items but really nothing out of the ordinary. I thought their breakfast tacos were just ok; this was bland and didn't have enough flavor. I did however, enjoy their Asian salad; this was creamy and full of texture while the taste was on point. I also liked their espresso martini which was sweet and almost had a syrup taste. This was pretty good but a bit too pricey for $15. This place reminds me of The Old Pro in Palo Alto which was this sports bar that had typical sports foods and flat screens on the walls playing multiple games. The vibes and feel of this place really brought me back to The Old Pro. I would come back again to enjoy some drinks and light apps while watching some football games with friends & family.

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 My date and I came here on a Friday evening, we were able to reserve a table quickly. We appreciate the ambled parking space. Upon arrival and check in, we were quickly seated. Service was attentive and knowledgeable. There's limited items on the menu but each dish didn't disappoint. My partner ordered the blackened chicken, it came with some veggies side, and he likes how moist and flavorful the chicken was. I got the flat steak in rare with side salad, and the steak was a perfect rare. For appetizers and extra sides, we ordered the Mac and cheese with bacon, delicious. We got the Mexican street corn, also very good. We ordered the shrimp cocktail and there wasn't much Shrimps in there but still decent for the price. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and the place definitely has a nice casual vibe to it, and to watch sports with lots of TVs on the walls. We would be back.

Came specifically for a quick pick me up (espresso martini) and ended up ordering a couple apps as well. Espresso martini wasn't the best one I've ever had but it definitely hit the spot. the buffalo cauliflower had a good flavor, I just wished they were crispier. Chicken lettuce wraps were light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. Especially loved the sweet chili soy sauce it came with. The Philly cheese fries were my favorite. I'm a sucker for French fries and they did not disappoint. Enjoyed everything and will definitely be back for brunch and dinner.

The patio is perfection! With the weather being nice most of the year, it's great to grab a cocktail or beer on the patio. Water Tower Kitchen is super cute and has a great atmosphere. It's also family friendly! Even during a Warriors game, we had a comfortable spot that was lively, but not aggressive. The perfect amount of energy. We had my friend's one year old with us and she was able to park up against the table in her stroller with plenty of space. The food and drinks were all good, but it was the vibe that really made our time! Service was excellent and we were able to grab a spot without a reservation.
