    Truffle fries
    Jenny W.

    My friend suggested this restaurant, and I'm so glad she did. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was amazing. Our server Ethan gave some great recommendations and we ended up ordering the truffle fries, pork belly, shrimp and grits, spaghetti carbonara (their pasta is house-made by the way!) and lemon tartufo. We loved everything. Also, the restaurant is simply beautiful--such great indoor decor with tiles reminiscent of Portugal and so many wrought iron features on the walls and ceiling. It's a really great place for a date or a fancy meal. Next time, it may be nice to sit outside because there's an awesome outdoor space with lot of beautiful succulents and greenery. There was also an outdoor space for events.

    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
    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.

    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

    Espresso Martini

    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.

    Burrata / beet salad

    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 !

    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...

    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!

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.

Their food menu is small but still has enough to choose from to snack on. The bartenders are knowledgeable about the drinks they serve and willing to help you pick the best drink for your taste.

Anyway, I met up with some friends here last weekend and we had a reservation at Alter Ego. I guess it's technically 2 places with Still OG. I have to say, I have really fond memories of Original Gravity from back in the day (ah, the days of my youth...) so it's nice that it's still sort of around though.. technically completely different since there's no more craft beer or duck fat fries lol. We hung out at our table for the whole night, like 4 hours. We all ordered cocktails off the menu and later on ordered some stuff off the menu based on the bartender's suggestion. I first ordered a Calabrian Spritz from the menu which hit the spot for me. Personally, I am not a hard alcohol fan but I enjoy wine and fun lil cocktails that are slightly sweet/not super strong lol. So this drink was nice because it wasn't too sweet and had a lot of volume (I like just sipping on stuff in general and it sucks when you order a cocktail that's like 3 sips of liquid and the rest is ice). The next cocktail I ordered was off the menu and called Like This or That (I think). I think it was some sort of passionfruit + vodka mix and very delicious! We also ordered the cold soba noodles and fries. Fries were crinkle cut and nicely crispy, no complaints. Soba noodles were also good, though some component of it was really spicy, I think the cucumbers. Overall I had a good time here and look forward to coming back, though given how little I go out, who knows when that will be haha.
