Brandy was amazing and so quick with service. I would recommend her as my server everytime.

Brandy was top notch she got served me very well 10/10 recommend going when she is there

This place looks great as far an ambiance is concerned, I was excited to be there, but the host on 3/28/26 at around 3:30pm was super rude and condescending! They don't let you stand around the bar for a drink, but also won't let you sit at the tables unless you're eating. I requested a table and she sarcastically asked me if our party of 4 was going to eat? I said, well you told us we have to so, yes! Then quickly, repeated back to me that we need to order food! (I'm an adult, I got this figured out) Then she seemed irritated that she had to find a table (there were many available and last I knew, that was her job) And another co worker then politely saved her by saying, we could step off to the side and she would see if they have anything available. No issues with that... We waited a few minutes and decided the attitude of the other woman wasn't worth sticking around for. I thanked them and politely said we wouldn't be staying. Restaurants are getting out of hand with rudeness, etc. and most places are begging people to come in and spend money, not push people away! Why, because you're in Walnut Creek? Who cares! You lost out on a $300+ table from us and we won't try again. read more

My husband and I came here yesterday for a date night and really enjoyed our meal. First off, the drinks were good and really quite strong! I got their lavender cocktail (I forget the actual name) and would definitely get it again. The food was - wow - outstanding! Their salmon had a glorious crispy outside and the potatoes were also nice and crispy. The asparagus was nicely seasoned and the soy glaze on top was delightful. Every bite was *chefs kiss*. My husband also loved his rigatoni. The prices? They aren't cheap. This isn't an every week type of place; but I don't think they are completely out of the ballpark taking into account the quality and location. Drinks are $16-$18 and entrees are ~$25-45 range. The service was very good! Our waiter was very polite and attentive, and staff was very good at clearing our plates, filling water etc. The ambiance? I have mixed feelings on. I love the view, and the decor was nice. Buuut the music was a bit too loud. And it was club type music...Luckily we were in a spot that wasn't fully covered so the sound could escape a little more, but still, I wouldn't say it's fantastic for a romantic evening as it's hard to hear what others at your table are saying. I would say choose softer music, let people enjoy the view and not be overwhelmed by noise. I see a lot of reviews about this place being stingy when it comes to seating you if you don't buy food. Obviously, we didn't face this obstacle as we did intend to order dinner. However, the host did ask us if we were going to order food; and I wonder if we would have said 'no', then we would have been turned away? If so, that's a problem. This restaurant has more far more cocktails than entrees on its menu, so it should not come as a surprise if guests want to come in for a few drinks and nothing else. I can understand that owners don't want people hogging a table if they aren't ordering enough, but there's got to be a better way of doing that. The other common experience I see is people being denied alcohol often. I wonder if part of the reason of this is because A) You have to climb 3 flights of stairs to get there and it's a legal concern or B) Their drinks are very strong so they're trying to be extra careful. All in all, we enjoyed our time, and would come again, but would be afraid to if only desiring libations. lol read more

First time here yesterday - great atmosphere, food was good, our server Ashley was super attentive. Honestly best service we've had in a long time. Prices are reasonable. We'll be back! read more

Rooftop is a great place for family dinners, special occasions, moms' night out, or just because. The spicy rigatoni Ala vodka is my current favorite dish and the Smuggler's Reserve is my go-to drink. read more

20% tip ! We where FORCED TO PAY A 20% ! For 2 people On a Saturday night. Apparently their new policy is they want to give gratuities to the kitchen, so the guests are forced to pay a 20% gratuity. I will NEVER patronize the restaurant again. read more

I am starting to venture out more in Walnut Creek so when I was invited to a 60th birthday dinner, I thought perfect timing. It was festive because it was decorated for the holidays so it's like I was getting a 2 for 1. A great place to celebrate a birthday. The space is definitely appropriate for a celebration. and the food was good. They had a Bone- In Ribeye, Chilean Seabass, and a host of other choices, I kept it simple and ordered a salad. Most importantly, let me not forget about all of the drink options that were available. They had the classics and specialty cocktails. Fun times!! I can imagine this place in the summer, however what a vibe all year around. Cheers!! read more

Great lunch on this rooftop! What a great place to enjoy the sun today..... service was on point and attentive. My crispy duck was not crispy as the name stated but taste was great.

Definitely time for an update since our last visit was nearly 10 years ago (!). We went here for dinner with friends between Christmas and New Year's Eve. We had a reservation and when we realized we were running early, they happily bumped up our reservation because they had a table available. Service was great. We started with a round of cocktails and mocktails and items from the appetizer/shareables. Everything was delicious although the standouts for me were the shishitos, cauliflower, and tomato and burrata salad. I got the salmon for my main and it was fine, although I would gladly trade it in for more of the shareables. Another person also ordered a fish dish and found it overcooked. My honey and I are already talking about returning for oysters and more shishitos and cauliflower. read more

The ambiance is lovely and open air in some areas with a gorgeous view of the area skyline. This is on the 3rd floor of a building that has two other restaurants on the first and second stories. First floor is a pizza place, second is Teleferic restaurant. Parking is street parking but is free after 8pm. This is in the small and quaint shopping plaza in Walnut Creek off of Diablo road. read more

first time! I've always wanted to try rooftop bc I was intrigued by how busy it is and how it's connected to 2 other restaurants. This is a WC Classic. Starting off they're known for their ambiance ofc, it's a perfect epicenter of broadway plaza and a good way to unwind after a long day of shopping. At night it could get pretty chilly so I suggest bringing something cozy and warm in case. Food is cool. Not too special but I did enjoy the quick service. The server checked on us a lot, kept the drinks coming, bussers always cleared the table & filled up water. They hooked us up with a birthday cake since I was celebrating mine! Short rib : probably the best I just wish they didn't use baby carrots lol it seemed low effort. 6.5/10 but amazing taste & really tender meat Spicy rigatoni : mild flavor 6/10 Espresso martini : sneaks up on you 8/10 Crispy Cauliflower : didn't know what the sauce was but I enjoyed the crisp. 8/10 Red velvet cake: yum! a little too sweet for me 6/10 I made a last minute reservation it was smooth. read more

Here for the New Years! Dinner was great, but the DJ was only one sided on the beats. All high tempo, and no change up. Was ready to bring in the the new year on the dance floor but it didn't happen. It was the same tempo the whole night. Bottom line , the DJ should have changed it up. Update: like I said, Dinner was great and staff was very friendly and professional. Alisson even took the time to reach out to me about my review! And because so, I have no problem upgrading my review! Cheers read more

I came here for my birthday, the hostess Ana was hospitable and kind. I was flustered that I didn't have coins for the meter and needed change and my friend was running late, she was patient with me. Once I was seated the view was fabulous the blue sky and the fluffy white clouds were breathtaking. I ordered the Spicy Maracuya and it was refreshing and spicy. I received four street size tacos and they were scrumptious, flavorful, and juicy. I gave only three stars as there was hair in my water as I took a drink, yuk! This is unacceptable and was a huge turn off, and disappointed that this manner wasn't taken seriously when I mentioned to my waiter. I did receive a complimentary mini cupcake with a candle for my birthday, a nice gesture. read more

Great views and the food, drinks and service was excellent! Brandy was amazing, attentive, yet respectful of our peace.

My girlfriend and I had dinner here last Sunday and it was so nice. We were greeted by a gentleman with the warmest smile and immediately sat at a table. The ambiance was so nice, wine and food were great....we had the salmon, short ribs and butter cake for dessert. But the best part was our waiter Chris, aka Light skin Chris lol. He was hilarious for one but also very attentive and personable. Definitely the highlight of our evening. I hope that he sees this but if not, please share with him how wonderful he was and thank him on our behalf for being a bright light to our evening out. read more

Service was good, food was good, vibes were great! We also ordered oysters that I forgot to take a photo of! But would definitely recommend for a cute girls brunch! The salmon was prob one of the best things we had there. The tomato and burrata was good but the crostini or bread that they use was a bit too hard/crisp for our liking. It was almost cutting through the roof of our mouths from how hard the bread was. The tuna tartare felt more like a tuna poke style, flavor was good but the cut of each tuna pieces was a bit too big for my liking. The drinks are great though! Overall, I'd be back but not somewhere I'd be back too often! They have a good selection of food and drinks but after 2 to 3 visits, you'd prob have tried most or if not, everything on the menu already, especially in a bigger group setting. read more

It's not very rooftop-y compared to other places imo. I'm being picky here but over half of their seating area is under a canopy, and you only get the true rooftop experience if you're seated by the balcony. Looking at other photos on here it seems like the canopy comes down at times so maybe in the spring/summer it'll be better. The drinks and food were good. Service is slow though and it seems like the place only has like two servers for the whole area. The server recommended the shy guy to me and I liked it! Not too sweet and not too strong. The truffle fries (4/5) were great and you can easily split it among a group. The spicy rigatoni (3.5/5) was good too and cooked well but it's pretty basic imo. I wouldn't recommend this place if you want to do dinner since service is slow. But for drinks/appetizers, this is not a bad place to go to. read more

Went to this place last month celebrating my buddy's birthday. Nice area to chill at in Walnut Creek. We ordered quite a few appetizers and shared an entree. I loved the Mussels and Clams. The mussels were small, but tender and very flavorful. It came with fries, which were crispy and nicely salted. Loved the broth. The garlic and wine broth had a very wonderful savory flavor. The Chicken Karaage was very good. The chicken was very tender inside and crispy outside with its batter. Loved the flavor of soy sauce and mirin in the appetizer and the dipping sauce was delightful. It was nice with a tart and creamy flavor and texture. We shared the Sea Scallops. It was made with a slightly sweet and savory curry sauce. It also included some vegetables. The scallops were seared nicely. They were tender and very flavorful on its own. The curry was a combo of sweet, savory, and had a nice subtle spiciness. The vegetables were much needed for the color, texture, and to balance out the meal. The Pork Belly was served nigiri style. It had shallots, jalapeños, and avocado on a small square of rice. There was also a sweet sauce underneath. The appetizer reminded me of sushi. The pork belly was crispy and had a nice seasoning. The rice was cooked fine, but could have needed a little more rice vinegar to give more sushi vibes. The shallot, jalapeños, and avocado gave this appetizer a much more appealing look. The Tuna Tartare was okay. Nice color of the raw sushi cubes. The soy sauce, ginger, sambal, and cucumber combined well in terms of flavor. The spice was not overpowering at all. The rice crackers were crispy and a much needed pairing for the fish appetizer. The Lamb Meatballs were pretty good. The meatball was tender and had a very good flavor. The serving size was perfect. It came with 6 meatballs. The tzatziki sauce was nice. The creamy texture and tartness of the sauce balanced the savory meatball. Service was great. Very friendly and efficient. The staff made sure our stay was a memorable one. I was glad they were able to accommodate my friend's birthday. Would definitely try the other food items in the menu. read more

What makes this place really excel is the views and the drinks! It has such a beautiful ambiance that anywhere you sit it feels you are outdoor. Their drink menu is EXTENSIVE and so many options to choose from. The drinks are not too sweet and have the perfect blend of liquor in it. The food is amazing, but you can tell that this place is more for a quick stop pre game type place. Beautiful place to have a date. However, service was kind of slow and lacked follow up throughout the night. However, I would love to go here again! read more

Loved it! Went here for date night and our server Chris gave us all the perfect recommendations. We started with drinks and I would say they were perfectly balanced. Not overly alcohol forward but you can tell it's there. For apps we got the truffle fries, tuna tartare and pork belly. The tuna tartare was refreshing and the fries and pork belly were seasoned, crispy and very enjoyable to eat. For mains I got the short ribs and my gf got the scallops. Presentation was on point and food is delicious. The short ribs were definitely tender and required very little chewing. For dessert we got the lava cake. I'm a sucker for lava cakes and this exactly what I expect. Rich and gooey cake with cold ice cream to balance it. Overall, date night was 5/5 for me! read more

I enjoyed my experience here. I had a whiskey and coke and a chocolate martini. Both were delicious. Did not order food. I love the open ceiling concept. So whether you are inside or out on the balcony, you still get to look up at the open sky. The place was packed. There is a 20% gratuity charge for late nighters. I took one star off because I wish the plate might menu had a bit more food options for all palettes. It left more to be desired. I would go back to this spot. read more

Came here on a whim last night to get some drinks with some of my girlfriends and I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't drinking that night so I ordered a mocktail and thought a little bit on the high end price wise the drink itself was very good. It was some sort of a huckleberry mix. It was very tasty. Friends ordered a whiskey drink, an espresso martini and a cosmopolitan and they all said their drinks were really good. They all come out looking all fancy too. Which is a plus. I could see adding some vodka my drink later. The service is great and friendly and I will want to come back to try their food and actual alcohol drinks in the future. read more

Rooftop was such a great spot for a night out with my fiancé, something we don't get to do very often.

I was a waiter in college & provided excellent service with the goal of earning a tip. It was never a guarantee....consumers made the decisions. Today, you have restaurant owners that do not pay market wages, and therefore stick it to the consumer in the form of a guaranteed 20% tip. It's egregious sneaky and wrong. The restaurant owners should be ashamed of themselves for not paying their workers a fair market wage and expecting the consumer to subsidize their wages. You're charging about $75 per person to have dinner and yet you can't afford to pay your workers? That's a broken model and people will not come back. That's why you have you've earned a three star rating on Yelp. Lastly, I was disappointed by the hostess, who looked like a pissed off teenager, having no desire to be at work. My wife had surgery on her foot and the hostess would not seat her until I came upstairs after parking the car. read more

Wanted to experience downtown Walnut Creek on a weekday. Loved the location and vibe of this place. There's a parking lot next to it, so it was perfect. Only down side is they do not have an espresso machine, but their take on espresso martini (express martini). We just ordered a bit to snack but the truffle fries are fuego. Wonderful service, who attended to us. Heard this place can get popping so would like to come back. read more

Our Dinner crew enjoyed dinner at the Rooftop last night and we had a great meal, including great service from our server Amari and the food and drinks were awesome. As soon as I was seated I ordered the four roses old fashioned! It came right out and was unbelievable. Next was appetizers, Burrata, Brussels sprouts, calamari and fresh oysters. These were all great! My choice for dinner was the 20 ounce bone in ribeye steak medium well! I was able to finish it and it was amazing! My buddies had another Ribeye, sea bass, sea scallops and short ribs' Everyone enjoyed their meal! We even had the pleasure of being seated next to a group that included WNBA world champion Sabrina Ionescu! We bought a couple bottles of wine and they were happy to open them for a reasonable fee! There were 7 of us for dinner at 7pm and the check was divided by six coming out to $140.00 dollars each! $$$ I would recommend Rooftop and I plan to return soon and try some of the other items on the menu! read more

I was in town for work and looking for restaurants to go for a business dinner and this place came highly recommended. You can park in the lot in the back or there is plenty of street parking. Go up a couple upstairs to find it. That part is a bit tricky, but it's worth the hunt. It's on the very top of the building clearly where the rooftop is lol! There is nothing but views at this restaurant the service is totally five stars. They also have TV for sports which is very important to me because it was a Thursday night and there was a game on the menu has anything you could possibly be looking for. We got oysters and brussel sprouts to start and both were amazing. They had a lot of other options from American food to seafood and everything was really, really really good. I ordered the sea bass with risotto which was phenomenal and I highly recommend!! The bathrooms were located centrally in the building because there were other restaurants also in this building and they were very, very clean and huge.! we also ordered a delicious dessert and coffee and can't wait to go back to try the other things on the menu next time I'm in town. I can't say enough about how great the surface was and I also love the ambience with the open air concepts and the bar in the middle definitely check this place out. read more

This is one of my go to spots to stop by for a drink in downtown Walnut Creek. Service is amazing and bar is first come first serve. They also offer some fun mock tails which I appreciate. This time we did not grab a bite but I often op for the truffle fries if I'm feeling like a small bite. If you do not want to sit at the bar and prefer a table there is a bit of a wait time when they are busy. The views are great and it's the perfect place especially to enjoy these warm summer days. read more

Perfect place to stop in and grab a quick bite to eat! My wife and I stumbled on this spot one summer day while we needed a break for shopping and also time to kill before our meet up with friends. We were both a little hungry and decided to check it out. The view of downtown is awesome, at night I can imagine looks even nicer. Which brings me to say this would be an awesome spot to grab a drink and maybe some fries at night with friends! The service was awesome, they accommodated us since we wanted to sit with a better view and they squeezed us in since we didn't have a reservation. We will definitely be back. read more

My friends and I stopped by after dinner hoping to enjoy some drinks. We were a party of 13, and despite the restaurant not being full, the host told us we should have contacted the event manager ahead of time to book a table. We were also told that in order to be seated, we would need to order food. The way this was communicated came across as very poor management. We easily could have taken our business elsewhere. While we ultimately decided to stay and didn't mind ordering food, the suggestion that we should have coordinated with an event manager--despite the restaurant clearly having space--felt unnecessary and disrespectful. This experience left a negative first impression to many and is something the restaurant should reconsider when it comes to accommodating larger groups, especially when the space is available. read more
