    Burrata / beet salad
    Dutch S.

    Visiting my family in Patterson. My brother, knowing I'm into great food ! Suggest the old water office. One look at the menu and I said let's go. From the moment we walked in I was reminded of our trip to Sevilla Spain last year. Beautiful!! The bar had me wanting to scrap the table and belly up ! We started with the grilled octopus .. one of the best I've tried. From Spain to Mexico this could go head to head ! Well done We had a half beet and Burrata salad. Delicious. Both had the rib eye, with probably the best au gratin potatoes I've ever had. And my wife's used to be my favorite! Cheesy spinach as our side. Could have used some salt, but that's just me. Two glasses of house Pinot No room for dessert.. next time. All in all, do yourself a favor and enjoy this restaurant!! Patterson is lucky to have you !

    Special of the night: Squid Ink pasta with Dungeness crab and tiger prawns

    This restaurant did not miss! From the ambiance, service, dining experience, menu, cocktails, quality and taste of food, and dessert. Best meal I have had! What we ordered: Drinks- mule cocktail cappuccine martini and off the menu spicy margarita Appetizers- coconut shrimp lamb lollipops Entree- short ribs special of squid ink pasta served with Dungeness crab and tiger prawns Dessert- lemon blueberry cheesecake crema Catalana If you are looking for a nice meal, book a reservation here! I cannot wait to try more of the menu!

    The Old Water Office in Patterson is absolutely worth the drive -- seriously, make the trip... you won't be disappointed! The space itself is stunning, inside and out. Being part of the original building makes it even cooler, and you can really feel the care the owners put into every detail. The family artwork throughout the restaurant and the personal touches everywhere had me obsessed. The outdoor area and new event center are beautiful -- I already can't wait to come back when the weather warms up! We made a reservation (highly recommend) and were seated promptly. Our server, Jaden, was amazing -- attentive, knowledgeable, and very familiar with the menu. Top-tier service all around. Now let's talk food... because WOW. First off, the wine selection is excellent. We started with the lamb lollipops, cooked perfectly -- tender, juicy, and paired with a yogurt dill sauce that was incredible. We also shared the chargrilled octopus, which was beautifully grilled and packed with flavor. For our main, we ordered one of the specials: Chilean sea bass with black imperial rice, romanesco, and a saffron citrus cream sauce. It was almost too pretty to eat -- but even better tasting. Every flavor came together perfectly. Of course, we had to finish strong with dessert -- the cinnamon bread pudding and lemon blueberry cheesecake were the perfect ending to an already amazing meal. From the atmosphere to the service to the food, everything was exceptional. We'll absolutely be back!

    Best tiramisu ever

    Dinner here is consistently great. I enjoy the inside ambience but I really love the patio. Even when it's cold outside, dining near the fire is comfortable and such a vibe. The service is always phenomenal. All that said, this five star review is about the tiramisu. It's pretty much my favorite dessert in the valley.

    Finally was able to take a Saturday evening off to dine at The Old Water Office and it did not disappoint! The service was on point. Friendly and had great recommendations. The restaurant layout and ambiance was well thought out from the napkin fold, table lighting, oversized wine glasses and decor. Food was delicious! Every dish was devine! Thank you to the upfront and center GM who took the time to visit with us when he heard it was our first time dining there. He was very kind and generous with offering tasting from wine to dessert. Thank you for making our night out perfect. Cheers

    Another good dinner and again The Old Water Office never disappoints. We had great cocktails including espresso martini. Coconut shrimp for appetizers. Chilean Sea Bass Marias chicken. Love this place.

    I love love love this restaurant, can't wait to go back! The restaurant is so beautiful, service was excellent, food was perfect, and the drinks were insanely delicious.

    House made spinach ravioli with lobster.

    Restaurant is tastefully done with attention to detail. Lighting, glassware, tile, and decor is all well appointed. Food is terrific with a creative menu, solid appetizers options, unique balanced cocktails, and entrees that make choosing one tough. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and made effort to engage with us for meaningful feedback on the experience. Can't wait to go back!

    The decor and atmosphere is soooo cool! There is so much to look at. Everything is intricate with such attention to detail. Our server was very kind, attentive, and prompt. We got the lamb lollipops to start, the seafood paella, and the pork schnitzel. Unfortunately, none of our food was very good. Another thing worth mentioning-- we went for our anniversary, and basing off of our previous anniversary dinner experiences, were disappointed that there was no complimentary dessert or glass of champagne for the celebration. I had heard great things, and had really high hopes. It is kind of a trek for us, so I was really wanting to like it. Hopefully, we will be in the area to give it another try in the future...

    First off, you walk into this elegant place designed and decorated so beautifully. We had a party of 10 so we had the back room area. Very spacious. The owner/s / management were so nice greeted us with warm welcome. And our waiter was great i wished I would've gotten his name but super attentive the best customer service!! And the FOOD. THE FOOD WAS ALL SO DELICIOUS full of flavor and most definitely fresh ingredients! Didnt get to take pics of all the food :/ The drinks were amazing! Great list to choose from. Will definitely be coming back! We ordered a variety of things. And the serving size was perfect. This place is a cute date night or girls dinner out. 10/10 reccomend.

We stopped in just before 6:00 and we're greeted by a friendly woman getting the restaurant ready for opening. We later came to find out she was an owner. She was so sweet and offered to seat us before the servers actually showed up, as they had worked a local event that day. The waitress soon came and our wonderful experience began. They have a great wine list and wine cocktails. We ordered three dishes and were pleased with the presentation and flavors. Pica-Pau - a traditional Portuguese dish with beef and spices in a delicious broth. It's served with bread for soaking up the broth. I really enjoyed this dish, especially the broth. Crostini di Mare - shrimp on crostini's with a tangy garlicky sauce on top. This was my favorite and I wouldn't hesitate to order this again. Sea Legs - octopus over a sweet potato mash. This was tasty as well and the octopus was cooked perfectly. The sweet potato mash is divine!! We also had a Caprese salad, pretty average, but nice presentation. The outdoor seating area is comfortable and so nice to people watch on the main drag. We really enjoyed ourselves and plan to go back next time we visit.

I enjoyed my wine and if you're a sweet tooth, dessert wine is the way to go! We ordered the Spicy Moroccan Lamb Meatballs with some cornbread and really enjoyed it! I do think the dishes are slightly on the pricier side, but the quality and finesse of the dishes makes them definitely worth it. Our meatballs were so soft and tasty. And we couldn't help but finish all the leftover sauce it came with by dipping our bread in it! I enjoy the vibe of the inside. I love all the blue dim lighting and there's even a small stage for folks to perform on busier nights. The patio is in a prime spot if you wanna enjoy the sidewalk vibes, especially on a Friday/Saturday night or on Thursday's if downtown is hosting a street fair! Def coming back!

The music playing was loud mariachi type which is fine by me. I'll mention that my guy friend and I are as white as they come and I was nervous going to this establishment as it's obviously geared towards the Hispanic community. However, there were no problems and we all got along just fine. I mention the race thing because unless you've been living under a rock, there's always a divide between Hispanics and whites and whatever and a lot of the community assumes it's too dangerous to be downtown at night because of that fact. I was born and raised in Gilroy I know how it goes . However I refuse to let that keep anybody from relaxing and having a good time..it's ridiculous to hate for no reason. There were no problems we had fun. Thank goodness there is an establishment open til 2am on most nights. We've been there twice so far. Second time was more crowded and it was a good time, no fights and no super drunk people Bring quarters for pool, there's only 2 tables. People were nice enough to let us play instead of claiming a table for the night. I would give 5 stars if they had shuffleboard and more pool tables. Maybe open earlier also like 12 for those that want to spend a day off practicing their pool game.
