Trendy little spot in Downtown Pleasanton that plays classic hip hop and danceable music, but there…read moreis literally NO ONE dancing, though it feels like they should be. I feel like there is truly so much potential for this spot, but maybe they weren't set up that way. There was a taco guy outside of the venue the Friday night we stopped in. The cocktail menu is extensive and the drinks are delicious and unique, but this is literally just a place to stop in and grab a drink, then go. Walking back to our cars, we walked by a spot that was playing hip hop loud on speakers and the vibe was lively. We remarked at how we should've gone in there, then looked up and saw it was an insurance agency. Definitely the type of vibe Middle 8 should look into!

The food overall was good. We had a larger party so people ordered different meals. Everyone seemed…read moreto enjoy. Since it was our first time, I played it safe and had ceased salad with added grilled chicken. Portion size was enough for two people. Overall, I would give the food a good rating. Server (Diego) was also good! On the flipside, the bathrooms were TERRIBLE (not clean) and if you use any type of walking device beware, wheelchairs won't fit through the door and the two small stalls were a joke. They need to reevaluate the meaning of a handicap bathroom(not to mention the door doesn't have a button to open or close). I plan to dine there again but hopefully, they do something about the bathroom soon. Oh, and the ambiance outside was very nice for picture purposes

The food was okay but the service was excellent. Sitting out front was nice because most children that were there dining had space to get up and skip around. This place is good if you're in the area and need quick service but want to sit down and eat.

Really disappointing experience at Beer Baron Pleasanton. One of the owners, Raj, approached our…read moregroup after complaints from other customers because a friend was wearing a Trump shirt. His attitude came across as very judgmental and unprofessional from the start, even though we weren't being loud or causing any issues. The whole situation felt biased and unnecessary, and it honestly seemed like we were being treated differently because of our political views. Definitely changed my opinion of the place and not somewhere I'd return to.

The bright Mediterranean atmosphere is charming and genuinely well done, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout. It's a great date night spot.

This place was jam packed due to lots of people coming here to pre-celebrate Mother's Day. My party ordered the combo spread, grilled octopus, zucchini cakes, baratta as appetizers.

I strongly recommend Elia if you want some good food, ambience and service. I am coming back again soon. :)

We walked in and it was busy as it was a Friday night. I…read morewalked up to waitress and asked how it worked and if it was open seating. I let her know it was two of us and she cleared a table for us. There seemed to be a two bartenders and a waitress working. We sat waited for a while and we ended up leaving. No menus no acknowledgment after she knew we had walked in and had been there for a while. She was at the table next to us talking to what seemed like a friend maybe, taking selfies. Seems like they have good drink options but we never had a chance to order def don't think we will be back maybe they have enough people come in where customer service isn't a priority.

I secretly don't want to review this place because I don't want anyone to find out about this, but…read moreit was such an amazing cocktail bar and I cannot wait to go back. I found this place on Instagram and came out for drinks one night it's somewhat of a hidden door as it is a speakeasy so come prepared with the password. We only had to wait a few minutes on an early Friday evening, but got in fairly quickly. From the entrance to the bathroom to the seats, everything was just so cute. Besides the ambience, drinks were delicious. I got some drink that had some bell pepper flavors and it's surprised me in the best way possible because who knew you could have some bell pepper essence in a drink. Seriously, top 5 cocktail lounges in my opinion.

The cocktails here are pricier but I would come back for special occasions or when we have visitors. They had signature drinks but also a limited specials menu. The specials included a drink with Thai flavors (galangal, coconut, kefir lime leaf, Thai chili, butterfly leaf tea, etc) and it was so good! I hope they keep this drink on the menu and I'm excited to see what new craft cocktails they come up with. Overall a fun experience to add to your night out in Downtown Livermore!

The people who run this place keep this place tidy and clean as evidenced by how quickly they cleared my glass and the cleanliness of the bathrooms. I missed the rock n' roll memo, but amazingly talented singers including the KJ himself. The sound system can be pretty loud especially the bass, so ended up keeping my ear plugs in. My only major reservation is how the karaoke queue is managed. Couldn't help but notice the bartenders and some patrons who generously tipped got to sing multiple times in a row. One of the patrons tipped $20 and sang three songs in a row. In comparison, I got one song in in the span of three hours. I kind of expected the place to start clearing out after midnight but ppl stuck around and seemed to be having a good time. If you're not into rock n' roll/metal karaoke, they also have pool, shuffleboard, and darts. I do like the KJ and the patrons here, though in the future, I'll just set the expectation that I'll get one song in and set a curfew for myself.

We had a family & friends birthday party luncheon in the Lounge Room for forty people. We asked…read morethat the tables be set up in a very particular way, one round of ten and others six to eight. They happily accommodated. Given our table map, the room was a bit cozy for forty but no problem for the waitstaff. The room itself is private, lots of windows, big buffet table and wine area, so it was all good. Waitstaff and venue were great, but what made the event special was the very high quality of the food: gourmet shrimp appetizer, flatbread, salad, chicken kabob, filet mignon kabob (no exaggeration), and Oasis salmon, plus rice, asparagus, mashed potatoes, chocolate mousse cake for dessert, coffee, tea, sodas. AND... they sent our family home with the leftover food, quite a lot that we've polished off since. Charge was $69 per person, three kids counted as one person for a special pizza, 20% service, tax, poured wines from a reasonably priced wine list. Total bill came to $4,000. So... Five stars. And whatever we asked for, Efren and Sadaf said, "No problem," and it wasn't. THANKS to Oasis!

The restaurant was clean and very cozy. It's an elegant restaurant worth going back to. Which I'm planning to do so I can try the meat dishes that looked really good. See you soon!

Great back patio, delicious menu…read more My husband and I popped by for a late lunch on a Friday, and their back patio was almost full. We ordered their Brusselsprouts and short rib sandwich to share and the proportions were perfect, just enough food and we didn't leave a morsel behind. Their short rib sandwich was heavenly and the chimichurri sauce plus grilled peppers elevated the experience. If you're torn about ordering a full shareable of the habanero fries, here's an insider tip: we asked for a side of their habanero sauce to go with our side of fries so we would still have enough room for their short rib sandwich! Their sprouts were phenomenal. Loved the sweat punch added by the cranberries and shaved carrots to balance the charr of the brussels. Will 1000% be returning to check out their dinner menu. I haven't had a milanesa since I was in Argentina, but I trust Brava to meet the assignment!

The place is pretty small, but then you walk to the back and there's a large covered patio, and a small uncovered patio. It's very charming with various plants giving the outdoors a garden vibe. Most of the team was late by about 30 minutes for our reservation due to a prior meeting running long. The host was gracious enough to hold our reservation until everyone arrived. We started with some appetizers of Crispy Cauliflower, Habanero Fries, and Empanada Trio. They were all very yummy and were served with various dipping sauces. The empanadas had a nice crispy pastry and flavorful filling. I had the Salmon eggs benedict and really enjoyed it. The salmon was smokey, but the eggs could have been just a tad runnier. The salad that came with the dish was really fresh and I really enjoyed the slightly sweet dressing. I was really impressed by how quickly our dishes came out considering the size of our group (12). Overall, a nice meal with excellent service.
