Tower Fries
Vivian C.

FOOD// Loco Moco $24 was not good, rice was hard. It looked very sad. The patty was small and the portion of mac salad was even smaller. I feel like the Mac salad portion needed to be more than twice the amount they gave us. Tower Fries $18 were delicious! Tasted like upscale carne asada with a very generous portion of avocado. Fries were still crispy underneath all the toppings! Yum! Burger $23 was simple and yummy with the grilled onions. But, it was missing tomato and lettuce and a pickle. AMBIANCE// It's an upscale sports bar vibe with TVs at every angle. Also kid friendly they have coloring pages and crayons! SERVICE// It's okay, not bad, not great. Service was serviceable lol. I had to ask for a take out box more than once. But I liked that they had a giant carafe of water at each table. OVERALL// I would go back again but not often because I think it's pricey for what it is. Also parking was oddly tight.

This was my second time visiting Water Tower Kitchen. The first time was 4 years ago and for lunch. Today we called an audible and decided to go for brunch since we were at the Farmers Market. We were seated immediately in the patio area. Service was fantastic! Everyone was very focused, attentive, and on the ball. I was also impressed with their brunch menu. We don't eat out often for breakfast or brunch as we're just not interested in breakfast items at restaurants. But their brunch menu looked great. It had a fairly large selection. 3 words: Asian Chicken Salad. OMG I know some people don't understand how someone could actually order a salad and enjoy it. I am one of those people! I just love a good salad. But it has to be a GREAT salad to truly rave about it in a review. This salad was so good! The amount of dressing was perfect as well as the seasoning and flavor. The grilled chicken was cooked to perfection. And the crunch from the fried wontons and cashews were the star. I honestly couldn't stop eating it. John took a couple of bites and he agreed. I can't even stop thinking about it. Hint to John: Surprise me one day with this salad. You will get big points. Or this can be our new date trip--farmers market and lunch at Water Tower Kitchen.

Great Views & Fun Atmosphere I like this restaurant because you can look straight out at the historic water tower while you eat! It's a trendy, bright restaurant and sports bar with 19 big screens, so there's definitely a fun atmosphere. Restrooms: Decent, clean, and bright. Parking: Free, but limited within the complex. Service: Friendly and efficient, although a little slow. They also offer private event bookings on the second floor, with an open bar, bartender, and private waiter to accommodate the event. For our event, we had a pretty big spread: fruit platter, chicken wings, hummus platter with chickpea salad, marinated heirloom tomatoes, flatbreads and cucumber, pretzels with house honey mustard and beer cheese, tower fries, marinated steak, garlic noodles, mac and cheese buns, Asian chicken salad, garlic flank steak, and oven paprika chicken. The open bar was only $14 per person and included a selection of soda, juice, draft beer, wine, and sparkling wine. Pretty reasonable for a private event!

ARTICHOKE & SPINACH CROSTINI

This place is lively and constantly buzzing, making it incredibly hard to get a reservation unless you plan well in advance. It is absolutely worth it, though! Our server was fantastic--so friendly and full of great beer suggestions and engaging conversation. . I also really appreciated that they have a solid selection of vegetarian options. Just make sure to secure your table early

Spicy Fried Chicken Sando
Sharan N.

Love the cocktails here - Cafee Al Pistachio strong recommend! Has a modern sports bar vibe with lots of screens making it a great place for weekend hangout. Quite spacious with lots of outdoor seating and also tables up the stairs. Made reservation via Yelp a couple of hours before our visit to Campbell Farmers Market. Can't for wrong with the food. Enjoyed the Spicy Fried Chicken Sando and WTK Fried Rice with Portuguese Sausage bits. Service was friendly and accommodating. The waitress understood we wanted to share the Sandwich and helped prepare it accordingly.

Garlic Noodles
Jason S.

What a nice find as I was passing through the city. This restaurant had a nice interior and patio area. The food was very solid. My wife enjoyed the garlic noodles. My chicken sandwich was also good. I would have liked to have more of the aioli on it. Would love to return to try the cocktails.

Cucumber Crush Cocktail
Nikki F.

Stopped in for a late lunch/ early dinner on a Saturday. They are a 49'ers bar as they have the memorabilia on display. The inside is modern and has a good vibe. It's more like an upscale sports bar. I specifically ordered the Cucumber Crush cocktail from their craft cocktail menu. It was very tasty and refreshing on a warm day. The garlic noodles were very flavorful and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. The service wasn't as awesome as I would have hoped with it not being so busy and there being plenty of staff running around. When I got done with my food and drink it took a long time for someone to ask if I needed a check or was done. I would likely choose to sit at the bar the next time I visit. I will be definitely be going back for another visit to try some more of the menu.

Loco Moco
Henry M.

Let's start with parking: the parking lot was packed, had to drive to the parking garage down the street to park and walk over "honestly it's not a big deal unless it's raining" They have inside and outside seating available. The decor and tables, especially the soft seating is really nice. Kind of reminds me of a pub. The service is fast and efficient, maybe a little to fast "like they are in a hurry" otherwise the server's do a great job. I ordered the Loco moco, comes with rice, a hamburger patty, 2 fried eggs "sunny side up" macaroni, salad, and gravy. The server ask me how I wanted my burger cooked? I said medium rare. It came to me perfectly cooked at medium rare!! This was the first time I've had Loco Moco so I can't really compare it to others ... that being said, I'd order it again in a heart beat, it's so good!! Wifey ordered the salmon with succotash, she also was very happy with her meal. They give you plenty of food with your meal as well.

Molten Chocolate Lava Cake
LeeLee C.

Ben took care of us tonight, and he's helpful, polite, and attentive. Parking is hard in its own parking lot, but there is plenty of street parking and a garage nearby. We were seated outside and I did not get a chance to go to the inside. The outdoor is decorated with fake green plants and heat lamps are installed. It's comfortable. Some of the white chairs looked quite dirty, though. It was a birthday party with a white dress code, so I was a bit concerned. The cocktail menu is beautiful. We tried Butterfly Effect, Espresso Martini, Caffe Al Pistachio, and Thai Strawberry Thing. I found the Butterfly Effect refreshing, but I like my Espresso Martini the most because it's creamy and tasty. The alcohol bitterness was covered up well. If you like sweeter drinks, the Caffe Al Pistachio and Thai Strawberry Thing tasted like candy. The Caffe Al Pistachio did not look like the picture on the menu; there's no layer of pistachio foam on top. We ordered so much food! -Mexican Street Corn: nicely presented and tasted fine. It's a bit hard to cut into smaller pieces however. -Shrimp Ceviche: ok, good portion for a large party to share. The chopped shrimp was a bit too small for me. -Buffalo Cauliflower: Slightly like the Indian cauliflower dish but I love how chunky the cauliflower is and how soft the texture is. -Fried Chicken Sando: good sando, but hard to be bad with fried food. So it's a safe choice if you don't know what to order. -Loco Moco: We were asked how well we wanted the steak to be and our choice of egg; which seems strange to me to imagine having scrambled eggs on top. I like the dish in general; we doesn't like burger patty, eggs and gravy sauce. -Uncle Dave's Chili & Cornbread: Good chili, beany and tasty. The corn bread is also good in texture, dense but not crumbly. Any time there's an actual person's name on the dish picks up my curiosity and interest. -Jambalaya: The right amount of spiciness! The rice is soft, chewy and soaked up all the flavors. Good size and amount of shrimp. -Garlic Noodles with Salmon: The most popular dish on our table. Lots of chopped garlic making the noodles flavorful. Another safe choice if you don't know what to get. -Molten Chocolate Lava Cake: delicious, and the cake is baked just right. Soft in the inside, chocolaty and rich on the cake. -Ube Cheesecake: The most loved dessert with distinct ube flavor. -Churro Waffle: the waffles tasted chewy and it's a good portion with lots of fruit, ice cream, and chocolate sauce. It's a bit too sweet for me. The table provided forks and napkins but no knives. Some dishes came with a service spoon or knife, but we wish there were knives in the utensil holder so we can do more self help. One thing I am pleasantly surprised is the reasonable prices. Most entrees are under $20!

Fried Chicken Sando
Amy N.

Great place to hang out with some delicious food and drinks! My watermelon margarita was so refreshing, it was the perfect drink for summer. They had a lot of other interesting cocktails that I'd like to try in the future. All of the food we got was sooo good. My absolute favorite was their ceviche. Our waiter Anthony let us sit upstairs (we were the only ones up there) and he always checked up on us. His exceptional attention to detail made our experience here even better. Will definitely come back!

Tower Fries
Katie R.

Shocked I haven't written a review for Water Tower Kitchen yet! I used to come all the time before Covid and I can't believe it took me this long to come back! I always really enjoyed the food, drinks, and atmosphere. It's a fun and lively spot with lots of natural light. The menu isn't super expansive, but they have a decent number of items and also offer some healthier bites. We recently came here to watch a college football game, they had three big projector screens, playing different games, as well as more TVs around the walls playing the games as well. It looked like most games were on at least two tvs, which was great so you could see them from whichever side you were sitting on. We opted to sit upstairs so that we could spend more time and have a good view of the screen. To eat we got the Tower Fries, which came with skirt steak that was really good, I was very impressed with the cook on the steak. We got some cocktails then opted for a high noon bucket since we were going to be there for a while. Service was friendly and they checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed!

Buffalo Cauliflower
Nicholas B.

Great experience for date night! Great food and the service was absolutely fantastic! Strongly recommend

Evan K.

Been wanting to try out Water Tower Kitchen for a while and finally came here! I've now visited two times within a short span and it's been nothing but great, honestly no big complaints on my end. Service and food both times have been consistent. Parking here is a little tough if you come on a busy weekend but you can park on the street. They have plenty of inside seating with a bar, they also have an upstairs but haven't been up there just yet. For the food its a couple of steps above bar food. I've tried their pretzel which is super large enough to share for 4 people. It was very warm and the dough was soft. As for the entree, both times I've gotten the loco moco. From the patty to gravy to eggs and mac salad, it just hits the spot. It's more Americanized then your classic Hawaiian dish (I know Hawaii is in the U.S but you know what I mean). I tried the fries and they are super crispy and good so I might get a burger and fries next time I come back.

The crab was very fresh and each crostini had a large portion of crab on top. The Brussels sprouts were very crispy and very umami with the cheese and bacon combination mixed in. The empanada was honestly a showstopper. I don't know how to describe it other than you have to try it. Both pastas were good but I prefer the mushroom one over the short rib ragu. The halibut was also good, and the basil sauce made it even better. I was already super impressed with everything but I think the stars were the 2 desserts. The Dubai cheesecake was an Italian style cheesecake, so it was a lot lighter than I was expecting (which was welcomed) and captured the essence of Dubai chocolate without being too overwhelming. The Lira in Wonderland was also SO good. It had a crown of cotton candy and was a mix of biscoff cookies, dehydrated red velvet cake (don't knock it till you try it), butterscotch sauce, and strawberries. I was honestly blown away by this meal.

I thought some dishes were great; the wagyu burger was decadent. Other dishes were not that special. The scallops didn't taste too fresh (likely frozen) and combining them with hummus didn't quite work. The side of bread was practically insulting. $5 for stale table bread was a surprise. Dishes arrived very late; we were nearly forgotten when we tried to order, and then after ordering, we waited 40 minutes between appetizers and the main course. Not because they were cooking it; they just forgot we were there and when they brought out the dishes, the scallops were no longer just-cooked, and the burger had been sitting for a bit. No apology, just an acknowledgment it was late, and no discount (not even on the stale bread). They offered us wine, we said we didn't drink, and they just moved on. I debated a lot about how to review this. It's my personal experience that was disappointing, and I'm glad some reviews are very upbeat. But there's a handful of reviews noting frustrating delays... and that needs to be worked on.

The ambiance of the inside looked as beautiful but not as the outside.... Food is decent but comparing it to the quality of a homey cozy comforting meal in North Beach SF... this doesn't hold a candle unfortunately; food was just OK nothing super revolutionary that you can get anywhere else. Service sounded soo wonderful but not to certain tables that were waiting outside. A waiter sings happy birthday beautifully to some tables but not attentive to ours, Infact without any server checking in our table while waiting for nearly 40 minutes for a steak & caccio e Pepe's, it's like they had to go farming for food on the table. After raising concerns to a waiter, one of them whispered into a chain reaction of others to give us an update... ultimately could've just apologized or just been an honest forgotten table? Who knows. You'll definitely be treated more nicely based on your attire and appearance, emphasis on that... in 2026 The star of the dinner was just the burrata plate. Not super stunning but the flavors were there. I ordered the steak which was a daily special, beautifully seasoned and charred to perfection, the steak cut fries with the weird green mint parsley concoction? Not so much. Not pictured was the Cacio e Pepe. Overly sauced like it was Alfredo. The cheese wheel part was fun but all gimmicks. Ultimately I'd love to give places another try because it's usually an off day sometimes but there was definitely just more attentive and care for other parties that just made me not want to come back.
