Cobb salad
Robert M.

Just had lunch here today. I'm not sure what all the one star reviews are about. The owners are super nice and friendly. The service was flawless. Blackhawk Plaza is an absolute ghost town so we were literally all alone in the restaurant. Super nice day to sit outside on the patio. Chicken Caesar had a tad too much dressing (and no chicken). Cobb was very good even though the chicken was slightly overcooked.

Overcooked egg in Cobb salad.
Yu S.

Not sure how this place has good ratings... my Cobb salad was awful!!! My chicken was dry, the hard boiled egg was overcooked and the avocado was hard and sliced super thin. Customer service was okay and the wine was horrible. When I asked if it was Merlot... she said yes and showed me the open bottle. She could tell I didn't like it, nor offered me a choice of something else.

Chicken calzone
Louisa D.

The chicken calzone! Regular sized fork, knife and napkin for scale in the picture. It was not mini. At $20.64 (tax included, not tip) that was 2 meals for one hungry me. I very happily packed my leftovers to take home. The calzone was made fresh, came out piping hot and the inside was filling, and hearty (homestyle maybe would be a better word?). I went on a quiet Sunday afternoon and chose the restaurant because I wanted peace and a pleasant comfortable ambience on a warm day. I'd go back if I lived closer, and needed a break from home cooking.

Fettuccine Alfredo
Rosie M.

We decided to try a new restaurant for dinner that was close to Yersen's because we planned to have gelato of dessert, but dinner wasn't planned. We found Nilo's restaurant via Yelp and decided to try it. We ordered fettuccine Alfredo, kids pesto pasta, kids spaghetti, the scallop calamari shrimp pasta and a soup and salad. For each of our dishes, we all felt like it tasted homemade and not fake or overproduced. It was nice to walk in and have a cozy family vibe inside. I really liked that the minestrone was full of vegetables that reminded me of ratatouille. I also liked that the Ceasar salad dressing was made from scratch because the garlic was delicious!

1/2 pear Gorgonzola salad
Allen S.

Nilo's is a small Italian restaurant in the Blackhawk mall. We started with the pear Gorgonzola salad. The flavor captured our taste buds nicely. The staff nicely split this for us since they knew we were splitting it. Next was the salmon fettuccine. There was a good amount of salmon nicely placed on properly cooked fettuccine. Ground Parmesan is available for the asking. We sat next to the fireplace. Since it was hot it obviously wasn't on:-) It will be fun to go back when it is cooler. The owner had a nice west bay pizza shop for many years do, to no surprise, he made a flatbread/pizza garlic bread. It added great flavors to our dinner. We need to try other flatbreads. The mall needs more foot traffic but that didn't stop Nilo's from creating great food.

Lovely decor, good food, excellent service. The brownie wasn't really a brownie but actually a chocolate cake. Lots of choices in the menu.

Meat Calzone and Chicken Pesto Pasta
Steven G.

The food was great and the portions were a very good size. Especially the Calzone, it's huge and the picture doesn't do it justice. The Service was also great and so were the people in the restaurant. Overall zero complaints, just unfortunate that we don't live close enough to come as often as I'd like.

Lovely vintage looking restaurant in Danville . It has a bar and lounge at the same time it serves…read morefood . The cooking are excellent. Pretty playing and they taste excellent. Good customer service and nice ambiance. There are outdoor seating as well as indoor dining areas. I love the cozy atmosphere and the menu has small plates, side orders , lunches , dinners and a brunch special menu . Three of us order a pot of tea with loose leaves for $6 . One cup is $4 . We have order 2 egg Benedict ( with ham or smoked salmon ) . The eggs are porched perfectly.hollandaise sauce tastes great . It is a pleasant surprise that it comes with quinoa bun and watercress. I enjoy the low carb option and it does not turn mushy like the English Muffin . We have tried the Seabass - scallops Chupin with mussels, giant scallops , chick peas , clams , mussels , tomato , funnel and grilled bread . The sauce is delicious and all the seafood are fresh and cook to just right . Super nice seafood dish ! One friend orders the chicken & waffles with syrup . The waffle is crispy but the chicken is a bit dry . It is marinated to very tasty though. Love this restaurant! Like a little gem in the neighborhood.

Aracely is one of the best gems in the bay!…read more I came for brunch with friends and the experience was absolutely incredible! The service is great and the menu is perfectly curated. The ambiance is romantic and vibey, and I loved all the little details, you can tell they put so much thought into the space. The pork shoulder and belly bowl was my favorite bite! The pork was succulent and fresh, and beautifully balanced with the most delicious wild rice I've ever had. I cannot rave enough about this dish! We also tried the chicken and waffles, which is perfectly crunchy, not too sweet, and piled high! The drinks were so creative and refreshing, I actually think I shed a tear. This place is absolutely perfect with no flaws. They also have a great outdoor space, and room upstairs to accommodate private events. I love Aracely and send anyone who will listen here!

Located on the second floor of City Center Bishop Ranch, Social-Affair is right next to the movie…read moretheater. The place was super lively and honestly pretty packed during my visit on a week night. The lounge itself is on the smaller side, but cozy. I like the concept, there are wire racks on the wall and each table has a little wooden game board on top (mine was Chinese checkers), such a cute touch and makes the place feel a bit more interactive. Their signature cocktail menu has a lot of options, but since it was our first time, we asked the bartender for a recommendation. He suggested "Meet Me In Pearis" since we wanted something vodka-based. The drink took about 10-15 minutes to come out, which felt a bit long, but it looked like he was the only one working, serving two big parties plus a few tables, so I get it. Service overall was still good and he was nice the whole time. For the drink... honestly, it didn't really wow me. Both the flavor and presentation were pretty underwhelming. It kind of tasted like a glass of sangria to me. I guess with "Artisanal" in the name, I was expecting something a little more unique or elevated. Overall, great location, nice vibes, and I like the interior concept. Service was solid too. Just wish the drink matched the same level. Probably wouldn't come back, but glad I got to check it off my list.

Came here with friends/compatriots for a dinner after a long day of work. The ambience is great,…read morethe staff very friendly and we were seated quickly. The menu is extensive enough for most tastes, and we did order a variety of foods to test that theory! The ones we ordered and have photos for include: Pear Quesadilla (Pears, brie cheese, flour tortilla, pear chutney); Calamari Fritti; New York White Cheddar Fondue; Bishop Ranch salad (Baby greens, pear, candied walnuts, blue cheese, balsamic vinaigrette); and for dessert: Warm Pear Tart (Puff pastry, vanilla ice cream, caramel), and a Seasonal Bread Pudding. The food came quickly and hot from the kitchen - except the salad and desserts! The food was very tasty, and the pear quesadilla and fondue were favorites for the uniqueness and the taste. The fondue had sliced pears along with the bread, a great change in the usual fondue take. The salad was also liked, fresh and a good variety of tastes and textures. They subbed the dressing for ranch. The desertas were also a hit, being shared. The warm pear tart was best liked, and very sweet and traditional in taste, but the bread pudding was also a close second. The pear tart was new to us, though. The service was great, and Cesar R. took good care of us. Overall, a great time! Can't wait for another excuse to be in the area for dinner.

We came late on a Saturday evening. I tried to French onion soup and lamb shank. Both were ok but seemed to be lacking something. The servers were really friendly and I will come back again. Their wine list is reasonably priced and heavily dominant with Wagner family wines. If Belle Glos, Caymus, and friends are your jam, this is the place for you.

Our friends who live in the area swear this place has the best wings. We arrived a little before…read morenoon on a Saturday and were seated inside promptly. As the afternoon went on it got really packed both outside and inside. Our server was super friendly and bilingual which was amazing because my kid only speaks Spanish. I couldn't decide what to choose so I picked the pulled pork sandwich which was great for this not being a bbq place. The pork was tender and some pieces were crispy. The slaw was perfect- not too sweet and not too moist. My kid loved the pretzel bites, I just wish they had more kid menu options because thankfully, my kid doesn't eat nuggets and cheese pizza. I paired my huge sandwich and fries with their crisp and clean pilsner. My spouse loved their hazy ipa and took a four pack home. We go to a lot of breweries and this one has a huge and varied food menu and it is great for families and groups.

The egg was cooked to our request and the corned beef hash is definitely location made. There are french fries under the hash which are cooked crisp to soak the flavors without getting soggy. They have a nice beer selection which changes regularly. Staff: the host is attentive and you are quickly greeted, then seated. Our waitress was very helpful for menu selection and she kept out water glasses filled. Location: a large parking lot is barely 2 buildings away and there is street parking. You can later walk off your meal asking the downtown if Danville.
