Best WLM Reviews
I first visited this place 7-9 years ago and have enjoyed it ever since. The modern ambience and excellent service made for a great dining experience. The dinner presentation was superb. The medium steak was juicy, and the Brussels sprouts were perfectly cooked. The poke with glazed sauce was outstanding, and the handmade bread was delightful. Don’t forget to remind the hosts if it’s a guest’s birthday for a free dessert.
We shared a wonderful pre Christmas dinner with family and friends. The food was fantastic, our server was good until he was pulled away for a large party near the end of our meal. The wine choices were good and the desserts were special.
The music selection was a bit loud. It was pop music which made it hard to hear and didn't give the right atmosphere in my opinion.
My wife and I had an appointment in Campbell, and we were looking for a place to have a late lunch. We chanced upon the establishment beside Willard Hicks, but they had just closed for the afternoon. Fortunately Willard Hicks remains open throughout the day, so we decided to go in; we were already hungry.
Upon entering, you get this old world vibe, the interior was cozy, the tall windows made it bright yet the atmosphere was relaxed; perfect for that late lunch or early dinner.
To make a long story short, the service was good, and the food was great. My wife ordered the Ahi Poke Bowl, and I got the Now This Is A Steak Burger (yup, that’s the name on the menu). It’s a one pound beef patty with arugula, crispy onions, and bacon; but what sets it apart from other restaurant burgers is the addition of lightly roasted bell peppers instead of the usual slices of tomatoes. The massive burger comes with huge house cut fries, and small servings of ketchup and aioli on the side; perfect complement to the meal. I didn’t attempt to eat the burger by hand because I knew I would make a mess. I know, some of you burger purists may be rolling your eyes, but it was just as well. After all, it was “steak burger.” With knife and fork in hand, I dug in and it was burger bliss. I’m always on the lookout for great burgers, and I may have just found a new list topper! The poke bowl was scrumptious, that well-balanced umami freshness perks you up with each nibble. Although we didn’t order drinks, I think a nice, cold dark beer would go well with the burger; and for the poke bowl a nice riesling or a gewurztraminer perhaps.
I look forward to our next visit. The menu items are varied and the preparations look quite inviting.
Parking is easy during early afternoon hours. There’s both street parking and a free parking building nearby. This should be the case for all commercial areas, make it easy for customers to come and park free! Pretty sure this makes any area attractive to people. Lots of shops along Campbell Ave., nice to take a short walk after a great meal. I will likely update this to five stars when we come back and try the other menu items.
It was not my first time here. We've been here a dozen times or more. Sat at the bar during happy hour. Ordered a gin martini. The drinks were good. And then ordered a chopped salad. Which was not good. Croutons were soggy, lettuce was wilted, and dressing had no flavor. Also, they don't have tonic water in a bottle it all comes out of the gun. Buy some Fever Tree tonic water. I thought only dive bars use tonic water out of the gun.
Classic American fare on the pricier side in downtown Campbell with a nice ambiance. We had a large dinner party and were lucky to get the private room. Our waiter was nice although we wished that they had come by more frequently. They ran out of one beer that we first ordered, but when we ordered another one, they came back and told us they were out as well. We ended up getting Guinness in the end. Food was good but in my opinion not worth the price. The calamari steak , pesto cheesy bread, street tacos and pork chops were all very good, but the baby back ribs were overcooked and way too dry. The burger is impressively huge, with 1 pound of steak meat in the middle! Crème brûlée was good as well. The waiter promised free dessert because they ran out of two types of beer that we ordered, but in the end they still charged us for the dessert. Overall an average dining experience.
It was a great experience. Had lunch here with my sister, brother-in-law and my nephews. We all loved the food. The staff were so nice and polite. We walked in a little after lunch time, to avoid wait time, they accommodated us quickly, they asked us if we wanted outdoor patio seating where we could enjoy the sun or inside. We ended up sitting inside but close by the door of the patio. I enjoyed the burger and steak which was cooked perfectly. They did somehow forget one of our orders in which they escalated it but still came out a little later. Our server and manager came over and apologized about the confusion. Nonetheless, everything was resolved. I would go back here again and would like to experience it during the evening. ????????????????????
Definitely a 5-stars restaurant!
We came to celebrate my birthday at lunchtime. The service was very pleasant.
We ordered a New York Steak and Filet Mignons. High quality meat and absolutely delicious.
We also ordered appetizers (Pesto-cheesey bread and short rib flatbread), which were big enough to share and also were very good.
The environment is nice and cozy.
We really enjoyed it and most certainly will come back again.
We got lunch here! We enjoyed the Caesar salad and short rib pasta but the portions were pretty small. The Caesar was small and deconstructed which I’m not a fan of. I expected more pasta for the price as well. Service was very slow despite most of the tables being empty, but maybe that’s because there was a private party in the back. The space is nice, warm and welcoming and the staff is friendly. Just not sure it’s worth it for the price for lunch.
