    First time visit to celebrate my friends birthday . Had an amazing and memorable experience! Situated on a cute downtown Campbell corner. Within easy walking distance of plenty of parking and a parking garage if you don't find anything on the street nearby . Reservations were easy to make and they had a cute light up Happy Birthday sign waiting on the table! The ambiance was dark but had great ambient lighting . I loved the green velvet booths and decor , which evoked old Hollywood glamour ! Tables were set up in way that you didn't have to maneuver around them to get to the bathroom which was roomy and clean! There was a bat and lounge area to one side and seated dining on the other , Our server Camille was amazing ! So attentive and her timing got delivering each Sri name course was on point . Birthday girl asked for suggestions a fruity house cocktail. Instead of just rattling off the fruity drinks, she asked questions to personalize a suggestion and described each drink! The food was fresh and presented nicely. One of my friends and I decided to each order the poke tacos . I loved them! Even though it was probably an appetizer is the right amount for a light meal. My friends ordered the Korean spice chicken and pan seared salmon and they both complimented their meal. I can't remember the all the names-of the drinks except for the Miami Vice the birthday girl ordered . We also got her one that was served lit on fire ! I w myself was happy that they served Ballast Point Sculpin on draft! The lava cake was served with strawberries and delicious! The birthday girl even got a bowl of ice cream, a candle and huge sparkler to hold while we sang happy birthday . I debated rating on my 4 stars for the noise level , but honestly , I can't fault the restaurant for parties having fun . It's a testament to venue excellence! One table though seamed to communicate in hysterical screams every time they had a new drink served. Great place for groups, drinks and easy reservations! My friend used OpenTable) . Will definitely return.

    Date night was AMAZING! This was my husband and I's first time at Wild Rose, and what a great experience we had! First off, it's such a beautiful place. We loved the ambiance and the whole vibe. Our waiter, John Carlo, deserves a raise! He was so professional, friendly, and attentive. He really made our experience so much fun and enjoyable. The manager that evening was also so nice and welcoming. And let's talk about the FOOD! Everything was soooo good! I had the garlic noodles with Thai sauce (John Carlo's suggestion, and it did NOT disappoint ), fried calamari, and bacon-wrapped prawns. Hubby had the smashed Wagyu burger with chimichurri fries. Everything was absolutely delicious! We had such a great time and will definitely be coming back soon.

    Wagyu Sliders

    Delicious happy hour that offers a lot of variety! This restaurant has very beautiful decor inside and very dimly lit, a perfect place to have a group dinner or have a celebration! let's get into my happy hour items and I'll rate from best to worst 1. Wagyu sliders - $5 each. The pattie was a good size, and it was super juicy with some melted cheese on top. The buns were perfectly toasted and this was honestly my fav item we ordered 2. Fried calamari - if you enjoy bigger calamari rings with thin crispy breading, this place does it well! Comes with 1 red sauce and their green tangy aioli. The portions were pretty good on this dish as well 3. Mac and cheese truffle bites - these were huge! I was expecting them to be as small as top golf's balls are haha but it comes with 3 huge balls. The pasta noodle itself was cooked to perfection, al dente and not super mushy. I was pleasantly impressed with this one and it came with the same green aioli sauce 4. Tomahawk steak - $7 each, honestly this is a confusing one. I was expecting steak bites similar to how a regular carne asada taco is, but it came in one huge chunk of meat, which wasn't even the best quality or cooked well. This is a skip For drinks we got the mango deck drink and the presentation was super fun! They lit it on fire and the chamoy stick was soft and easy to eat. Drink itself tasted sweet and easy to down in 1 big gulp! Overall the happy hour items offer lots of variety and our server was great!

    Based on yelp reviews, we chose this for our date night! This place had very cozy, candle light dinner atmosphere. We did not reserve so it was just walk in, but luckily got seated. I would suggest reservation. Service was excellent, our attendant made us feel comfortable. Food was excellent! Truffle fries : Generally we have never finished fries. These fries are so good that we didn't realized how quickly we devoured them :). Spicy seafood pasta : This dish is creamy heaven! Amazing quantity, lots of creamy sauce. There were plenty clams and few shrimps. If you're in mood to indulge, definitely go for this. Spice comes from red paper flakes which doesn't overpower original dish, perfect ! Beet salad: I decided to order this based on other reviews and I'm glad I did ! One of the best beet salad, perfect for summers. Very refreshing! Skewers: They are perfectly grilled chicken skewer with some glaze on it. I found the glaze too sweet but my husband loved. I had spice nice cocktail, which was ok, I would try something else next time! Overall amazing place, Highly recommended !

    Ambiance: very hip, modern lighting and decor. There's three seating areas: standard, lounge, and bar. For happy hour, only lounge and bar is available. We chose lounge and was sat next to a bar in a two-person table. The chair and everything was comfortable, but the table was a bit small. With the menu, candle, water glasses, and personal plates, it seemed like it can only comfortable hold one appetizer. There are various tv screens for sport viewings. One complaint was that the AC could have been running higher. Was a bit warm. Service: service was great. Was checked on throughout the night by multiple people. Water refilled and drink orders taken timely. They also package Togo food for you. Food: - Calamari (3/5): was a bit soggy and cold. They provided two sauces, which was nice. Also provided both the rings and tubes. - Tried multiple drinks between me and my partner and didn't have a complaint. The Mango drink has a cool little fire show and and I loved the strawberry in the Miami Vice! Note: happy hour tues-thurs 5-10pm. Don't miss it!

    Absolutely had an amazing time at this restaurant. I came for a ladies night birthday celebration (Friday) with a party of 4; it was our first time here. We were in awe with everything- from the customer service, the decor in the restaurant and the restroom, the drinks, food, our wonderful server, Camille and how this restaurant made our birthday celebration even more memorable. A fabulous experience and definitely worth coming back. This restaurant did not disappoint. We made reservations via OpenTable. Camille is the best!

    HH Hamachi Crudo
    Ron O.

    This is a review for their weekday Bar & Lounge Happy Hour (Tue - Thu 5pm - 10pm... yes, you read that right... all night Happy Hour). After our first visit last night, I think it's safe to say it is probably the best Happy Hour offering in the SF South Bay. Good quality, good value, great service and nice club/lounge ambiance. Here's what we shared food-wise... * HH Garlic Noodles -- This didn't quite meet my expectation. Described as a "perfectly cooked pasta tossed in rich garlic butter", what we got was more like a soft udon type noodle with a rather starchy garlic sauce. The taste was definitely very garlicky, but the dish could have been much better with an al dente pasta tossed in an actual garlic butter or olive oil. * HH Wagyu Smash Burger -- This was yum! Great flavor, nicely grilled served on a toasted soft brioche bun. ($15 on HH versus $32 witha side of fries on the Dinner Menu :o) * HH Hamachi Crudo -- This was superb! Fresh generous slices of yellowtail topped with sliced lemon, jalapeno, tobiko and microgreens, perfectly matched with Ponzu sauce. ($12 on HH for 4 pieces versus $23 for 5 pieces on the Dinner menu) * HH Crab Cakes -- 2 medium sized blue crab cakes with diced mango and spicy aioli. Pretty decent for $14. * HH Crispy Brussels Sprouts -- Good standard fare. For drinks, we enjoyed... * HH Weather Pinot Noir -- Our server, Mikayla, said it was her favorite wine on the HH menu. It was very nice. * HH Mango Deck -- Reposado, Jalapeno syrup, lime and mango puree with a 151 rum flambee. Great drink if you like sweet, sour and spicy... and it comes with a show as the 151 rum is lit. Will definitely return. Would love to try the HH Grand Seafood Tower with oysters, yellowtail and salmon sashimi, shrimp and lobster ($65 on HH) which we saw another table order. Looks like a great place for a larger party celebration too.

    Ribeye
    Sofy Y.

    I fear I don't like this place at all. Too dark, too loud, too many tvs, and the food is just straight up mid at best, and always messes up my stomach. This is definitely a classic type of SJ spot, read: for taking photos and being seen. Cocktails are actually really good so this is a good spot to go in a group. Service is also hit and miss. Servers are good, but they have them running all over the restaurant covering crazy sections.

    A pretty mocktail that looked prettier than it tasted. Green something..
    Malinda D.

    Came here a couple times for birthday celebrations so it's safe to say this place is good for that. The menu here isn't bad while some items are better than others. I ordered oysters fries and a mocktail (mid) I tried my friends gnocchi which was yummy since I'm typically not a fan. The ceviche tostadas I would get those are yummy! The garlic noodles looked mid. They tasted just ok. I really like the vibe here. Service has never been a problem other than people's food not arriving on time all together. A couple people were still waiting on garlic noodles which is a simple dish. I recommend not getting the fries. They are horrible and a waist of money. This place is a good place to come celebrate any special occasions. What I love most is the cute birthday signs they put at your table. And they light a very nice candle making your moment feel extra special.

    Bone marrow
    Jennifer L.

    Great experience but be warned - it's a VERY noisy place! I wouldn't bring anyone who is hard of hearing. Food was absolutely delicious. We shared a lot. Tried the steak, mashed potatoes, asparagus, bone marrow and yellowfin appetizer. I got the spicy margarita and it was VERY spicy! Even the two people I went with who have a spice tolerant palate found it too spicy. Service was timely and friendly.

    Seafood tower
    Frank L.

    Drinks are pretty good. Food is solid/ok. It's decent but nothing insane or very creative. We had a seafood tower, captains catch, and two for roasted ribeye. I will say this tho... The portions are very fair and for that price it was able to feed 13 people with leftovers. I would def recommend going for the vibes and celebrations.

    Nyeesha G.

    Came here for a work outing. First time here, and I have to say I enjoyed almost every dish. The ceviche and pastas were memorable. I think they could work in the fries. Drinks were excellent and the service was fast. Cute restaurant and good music.

    Vivian L.

    Very nice ambiance, as one side seemed more of a dinner and date setting while the other was more casual and had a sports bar feel to it. Some of the seating were odd because the table was really low and so was the chair, so I was a little uncomfortable and had no back rest. The drinks were fire, and they have a happy hour from 5pm-10pm where some of the drinks are $14 each and they are STRONG! The food, on the other hand, was very subpar. I would definitely come back for some delicious cocktails but maybe pass on the food.

    Do they allow kids in the lounge area for happy hour? It's my wedding anniversary and we'd like to come here but would need to take our 6 year old daughter.

    Is there parking garage nearby?

    There's a garage in downtown campbell which is maybe a 5-10 min walk and some street parking!

    Need reservation on Friday?

    I'd recommend

    Does the pappardelle dish have dairy or if you remove the cheese it can be dairy free (no cheese/butter/milk/ etc)? Thanks?

    Is Happy Hour pricing available when sitting at a table in the restaurant? Or is HH only for when you are sitting in the bar area?

    Hello! That is a great question! We offer Happy Hour everywhere in the restaurant! So if you would like to sit in the Lounge Area, Dining, or the Bar, it is entirely up to you! Cheers!

The owner took the time to…read moreexplain to us the inspiration behind the dishes and that really made the restaurant super inviting. We started with the crab crostini and the Brussels sprouts. 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 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.

With the current pricing at Cedar Room, I'm now walking out spending close to $100, compared to the $40-$50 I would normally spend before.

    Me and my co worker did the happy hour in the front which is Still OG…read more This place is for those that dig the vinyl era because they play the albums and place the cover in front of the turntable. The drinks are named after actual songs which is which is cool. I really enjoyed the So fresh So clean which was refreshing and not so sweet. Each drink is made with fresh ingredients. 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. We did not get a chance to try the Alter Ego which is behind the curtain but next time.

    Wow, I don't think I've written a review of a bar/lounge in like 10 years lol. Aging + having a kid…read morewill do that to you. 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.

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 revamp of local dive bar!! Ambiance is clean and inviting. We were greeted upon entering…read more Staff super friendly. Decided we were hungry and we checked out food menu. Great selections, not too extensive. I got the Guacamole con Chicharron, simply amazing!! Tender hunks of meat, crispy chips & fresh guacamole. Large serving, took some home. My friends got the Nachos, great to share, tender meat and loaded with all the goodies. The fantastic part is at the top of each hour is the SHOW!! Some of the staff get on stage (& off) and dance! So amazing!! We'll be back for sure!! Please visit!!

This location performs shows (done by the staff) on the hour, every hour. The shows are choreographed by the owner of the bar & by the end of the night, the entire staff has been in at least 1 number. These dance numbers are SOOO fun & SOOO good! There is no where in San Jose that is doing what this place doing. The staff comes around & gives shots (plus a show, obvi), also there is a certain drink you can order where they will put on a show for you as well. There is a dance floor for dancing & the DJ is great at reading a room! I cannot believe how fun this place is, or how it is not PACKED yet. Skip your silly little bars & get down here ASAP. The menu is pretty big, & while I have no had food here yet, the menu drinks are great! If you are looking for a super great time with full entertainment, look no further. This please is fabulous!

Every ingredient is fresh not pre made unless you get the on tap cocktails. When you walk in it has an inviting atmosphere and the Kaylen who is the bartender is welcoming to both regulars and those who are new to the bar. I had a drink called the Macintosh which is so refreshing but not overly sweet which I enjoyed.

My husband and I had a baby free night out to celebrate my birthday and haberdasher did not disappoint. We went soon after opening so there was no line but I know they tend to have one later in the evening. We were greeted warmly at the door by the attendant who checked our ids. I was even wished a happy early birthday. When going into the bar, you walk down a staircase into a space that makes you forget you're in downtown San Jose with beautiful reds and burgundy decor. The staff is all smartly dressed; the bartender and bar back were both sweet and funny. I ordered a jack rose (my all time favorite), their seasonal watermelon waltz (this may be a new favorite for me, nice and refreshing) and one of their zero proof cocktails called a Mariposa which was soooo good as well. My husband ordered a couple old fashioned and a watermelon waltz for himself. We had an amazing time and look forward to coming back in the future.

The lighting is perfect and they have small lamps at the table for those who may need a little more light to see their menus. Service is great. Walking in, on the left, is a small table/counter where they check you in if you've made a reservation (or not). This is my second time here and I have to say, service is consistent. They're attentive and will check in a good amount of times without being invasive to your dinner. The first time I was here, my friend ordered the lasagna and absolutely loved it. I had the pasta with truffles and pesto and I loved it so much I ordered it again. I will order something by else next time! I was apparently influential and everyone at my table ordered the same lol My friends also ordered the pear and bursts salad and we shared the bruschetta both of which we really enjoyed. I was also very happy that they had Hugo Spritz (Aperol is not my thing)! It was a wonderful place to spend dinner with friends. Can't wait to come back and share with my family!

    I almost wrote a bad review…read more I brought my mom to Locanda Sorrento for her birthday, and unfortunately my entrée arrived about 20 minutes after hers. I was disappointed because what mattered most to me was sharing that dinner together. Instead of leaving angry, I spoke with the manager--an Italian woman who seemed to be doing everything at once. I explained why the evening meant so much to me. What happened next changed everything. As we were leaving, she brought my mom back inside. Ernesto and the staff came out with tiramisu and a candle and wished her a happy birthday. I wasn't expecting it, and I actually started to cry. Restaurants make mistakes. What matters is how they respond. That small act of kindness turned a disappointing night into a memory I'll keep for a long time. Thank you, Locanda Sorrento, Ernesto, and the entire staff for making my mom's birthday special.
