    Best tiramisu ever
    Erin M.

    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.

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

    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!

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    What a beautiful place in this area, amazing decor and vibrant colors ! Service was very attentive and food was quite good! The guava pannacotta is a must try! Can't wait to go there for dinner since this time we enjoyed their brunch!

    Helen D.

    I think is a great restaurant! Just what Patterson needs. I had the spaghetti Carbonara. It was good! We also had clam chowder, Halibut, lamb lollipops, and a paella, and a couple of drinks. I really enjoyed the guava panna cotta at the end. No complaints, we thought the food was flavorful. We were sitting outside and it got a little chilly, the servers were kind and let us move inside. Service was great. 4.5 rating in my books haha.

    GREAT BAR!
    Tony G.

    My gut tells me that I've given a clean and accurate review on TOWO already. But I think that if it's coming up again - I can give another GREAT THANKS TO THE STAFF for performing exemplary during my visit and being timely with the food service! Other than great food - there was great cocktails! WE WILL BE BACK!

    The service was absolutely elite Nikki. Our waiter was well knowledge on the menu and made it very comfortable for us to sit and read. I asked for her recommendations and she gave us her best opinion and they were great hands-down great service all around she was very attentive and also was very pleasant to be around. It's always nice when you see people that are great at what they do for a living in love where they work it makes it splendid place to be all around. I definitely recommend this place but we are coming back again. I will post some pictures.

Hour of arrival was around 5pm. We were greeted by Natalie and welcome in. We sat at the bar. Shortly after we were greeted by Caroline. We spoke about what brought us here. I explained to her i saw thier Yelp page and a pictures of a pizza caught my eye. She explains in detail of what she is doing with this style of pizza and the ingredients she uses. We were sold. We ordered 3 new haven style pizza or apizza as advertised. We ordered the Mozz , Margherita and one not on the menu Pepperoni hot honey apizza. This is the order she suggested we have them and we complied. I'm no expert of new haven style pizza but I'll watched enough Dave Portnoy to maybe not necessarily be a judge but to recognize what makes a apizza. Let me start by saying these pizzas were delicious. As for the characteristics of a new haven there were some. I'll let you be the judge by the picture or your own experience dinning here. We tried all 3 as they were coming out the oven and also tried them with Caroline customizations. In short they elevated the apizza. She also mentioned she puts some parmigiano reggiano on her pizza and has a big wheel of it in the back which I didn't get the chance to see and take a picture. None the less another thing to like about her pizza.. Natalie crafted some fine spirits for us to accompany our pizzas although I wish they were a bit more unbalanced in a good way but then again the are mixed drink. The ambiance was great with Contemporary jazz playing. I like jazz so it was delightful. If you are at the bar you may need to talk a little louder to your friend. 3 pizzas 5 mixed drinks plus tip $190. I will certainly be back with my wife I think she will like the Alfredo pasta. Caroline signature dish. Heavy cream she says.

The interior has a nice, relaxed vibe with comfortable seating and a clean, inviting atmosphere. We started with the calamari and edamame. The calamari was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. The edamame was lightly salted and had a wonderful flavor that made it easy to snack on while we waited for our main courses. I had the Korean stone bowl and was very impressed. The beef was tender, flavorful, and slightly sweet, and everything was served piping hot in a beautifully presented bowl. My husband had the salmon bowl and thought it was cooked perfectly with a nice balance of flavors. Another friend tried the coconut shrimp curry and said it was delicious, with a rich and slightly sweet coconut sauce that paired well with the shrimp.

The holiday drinks were just posted on social media two days prior and they were already unable to make one of the drinks. I've had the peppermint martini a few years ago, so went back to that. It was good, but I remember it being a little better before. Also, the presentation of drinks seems to change based on who is making them. Sometimes it's rimmed with peppermint, mine was on the side of the glass. Same issue as last time. The peppermint was too heavy and sliding down the glass, making the stem sticky when picked up. We shared several different sushi rolls. The rice seemed way over done. It was one mushy texture and the spicy tuna lacked spice. I ordered the salmon for my entree. Salmon was well cooked with a glaze and served with broccoli. First bite of broccoli tasted burnt, but luckily the rest was fine. We ordered all the desserts to sample and the best was the flourless chocolate cake and the cheesecake with the bananas. Our server was super sweet and always made sure we had what we needed.
