    Sabio on Main surprisingly was really good. We loved the French onion meatballs and the salad we ordered. The oysters were just okay -- a little too small for my liking, and the vinaigrette didn't really stand out. But our main dishes definitely made up for it. We both enjoyed our meals, and the cocktails were on point. It's a small restaurant, so I highly recommend making reservations ahead of time.

    We stopped by their patio recently to grab a drink. They were super sweet to our dog. My drink - a tequila cocktail, was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be again to try the food and more drinks!

    Excellent food. We were able to get reservations, but when we arrived there were plenty of seats. Ambiance is nice. There are quite a few wines dotting the back walls. We found out the item my nephew wanted was out of season (the clam chowder), so we'll have to come back. We tried the Caramelized Cauliflower, Brandt Beef Prime Brunch Burger, Tri-Tip Steak Sandwich, and the "Graceland" Belgian Waffle. The waffle was different, hence the subtraction of a star. Overall it was very good. We definitely should try and come back for dinner. There's plenty of street parking and a few lots in the area.

    Olives, saffron risotto. A happy man.

    Had a great time. We had 2 dishes here that almost brought a tear to my eye. The Wagyu meatballs felt like my Dutch Oma's meatballs that I was just telling my husband earlier today i thought i would never taste again. The very next dish was the saffron risotto that tasted like my husband arabic mothers Mensef. My husband and I travel the world and a meal has never made us emotional. The Chef of this meal deserves a michelin star.

    Tasting menu 8/27

    5 stars for the vegan pozole verde. Server was very kinda, but had too many tables to be as attentive as needed. Atmosphere can kinda seem stuffy. So overall, can only rate 4 stars.

    Tomato pluot salad

    Loved my experience at Sabio, it's no surprise they're Michelin-recognized. Their whole philosophy centers on hyperseasonality and sourcing locally. When I spoke with the owner and chef, he explained how every dish is rooted in California's farms, ranches, and fisheries, with the menu constantly evolving to highlight what's freshest. The ambiance is warm and classy, with plenty of seating options. I loveddd the wine wall and bar. Small plates: The pork belly was incredible. Fried fresh, crisp on the outside yet melt-in-your-mouth tender, marbled with just the right amount of fat. (It goes through a two day brine and is slow cooked overnight.) It paired beautifully with sweet melon and a caramel fish sauce. Truly amazing. The tomato & pluot salad felt SO summer and highlighted their seasonality. The tomatoes are from KJ Orchards, with puffed quinoa, edible flowers, and marigolds that brought out the sweetness. Mains: The Brentwood corn agnolotti (inspired by elote) was veryyy creamy and sweet, a fun take on a classic. However, the cedar plank Mt. Lassen trout was my highlight. Smoky, rich but light, with a lovely pink tinge from being raised in pure mountain runoff water. Smoked fresh on cedar planks and served with butter beans and basil pesto. The lion's mane mushroom pozole verde was hearty, tangy, and completely vegan. Mushrooms sourced locally from a boutique mushroom shop in Tracy! Dessert: We ended with the chocolate profiteroles, and the sweet corn & blackberry sundae with cornbread. Loveddd the richness of the chocolate, and the sundae was such a fun mix of seasonal produce (and the cornbread crumble was incredible). Sabio captures the best of seasonal California cooking, and has lovely food and service... very worth it.

    Had their tasting menu. It came with 3 seasonal canapés (1 per person). The pork belly canapé might've been my my favorite part of the entire meal. My least favorite was probably the salad. It had bits of bitterness to it which I don't care for but my friend really liked it! Upgraded to the wagyu instead of the prime rib and although it was tasty, my friend said the prime rib was actually more tender so maybe pass on the upgrade? I didn't try her prime rib since I was stuffed. I liked the persimmon apple crumble although I couldn't really taste the persimmon. Their tea selection was a bit skimpy at the end of the night and didn't have any herbal teas. They found some chamomile in the back. Service was great for our party of 9. Ambiance is great for date night. Not too loud so you can actually have a conversation.

    We enjoyed our meal here, but didn't think it was entirely worth the price. However, the ambiance was quite nice and classier than your typical downtown Pleasanton establishment. The pork belly was probably my favorite dish out of the bunch, and the saffron risotto. The pork chop however was not as flavorful as I'd hoped, and for $41 it didn't feel super worthwhile. Also, we had a conversation with a very confident server recommending us wines that all rieslings were sweet, which is decidedly untrue. He was very earnest and friendly, but I definitely lost a bit of trust in the wine recommendation process.

    After dining at the "Michelin star restaurant", we had to eat our cake outside.

    We came here for a birthday dinner - 7 of us. We were all excited because it was a place most of us hadn't been to. My friend, the organizer: had called ahead - twice - and asked if she could bring a cake for my birthday. The person said yes - both times - and said they would waive the cutting fee if she bought one dessert. My friend bought a nice dessert from a nearby bakery and brought it in. Our waiter Ezekiel was arrogant from the start. He shamed my friend for asking for a drink she prefers with her health issues - "they only serve craft cocktails." He told us most people order the 6 course tasting menu. We decided to order off of the main menu, and he balked every time we ordered appetizers or entrees saying we needed to order more. It was clear he was trying to up the bill, yet we had leftovers at every course. And our service was terrible. Our waters were empty until the very end. No steak knife for the steak. Glaring when my friend dropped her napkin. Really no check-ins except to try to get us to order more. And the crazy thing was, the restaurant was half empty - it wasn't like they were super busy. Just seemingly trying to milk the few customers they had. Then it came for the celebration cake. He huddles with the stare and said the person my friend talked to was not a manager, who, by the way, we never met once, and that we now had to buy two desserts to waive the cutting fee. We asked if we could buy a couple of dessert martinis from the dessert menu instead, as we clearly weren't hungry with all of our leftovers. He huddles with the staff again - so awkward as we could see them all talking - and 10 minutes later says we have to buy two martinis plus a dessert for them to cut our cake. I told my friend we had wasted enough time, and she asked for the cake back. Picture is of the cake dropped off at our table. Happy to ruin a birthday celebration and risk bad reviews so they didn't have to cut our cake I guess. They added 20% gratuity to the bill and were fine knowing we were unhappy with the service. Most of the food was delicious. Hence two instead of one star. The lamb pasta was a standout as was the burrata and arugula salad and ricotta toast. The risotto was under cooked and fishy, and the steak was tough - or maybe that's just because we had to cut it with a butter knife. There was another waiter serving tables by us, with parties ordering tea instead of high cost drinks and single course meals, and he seemed to be attentive and friendly. My friend had him before, and she had a wonderful experience. I guess we just had a bad run with a rude waiter and passive manager. We had our cake on the Starbucks tables in front of Sabio. We ended the night with smiles because at the end of the day, it's all about the company you're with.

    Sabio, the best for happy hour drinks and oysters. And Kevin is the absolute best

    Sabio is the best for happy hour drinks and oysters. Every Monday- Friday 4-6. And Kevin and Richard are the best bartenders. THE best

    Kimi S.

    Wow! Where to start?? Our server Richard was the best, he took great care of us. We came here for happy hour to celebrate my husband's birthday but opted to go all out and get the Chef's Tasting Menu and the Vegetarian Menu... The sangrias were refreshing on a super hot day, the Raz and Rye was good, we enjoyed the Pom-arita it wasn't too sweet- just right, but the Aztec Smoked Cider was our favorite cocktail. HH oysters were great as usual. The Seasonal Canapes were lovely appetizers. My husband loved his chefs tasting menu but said he'd order my vegetarian menu any day, the eggplant ravioli was SO RICH AND DELICIOUS! But the green Thai curry was the best Thai curry I've ever had, and I've had a lot. The dessert was fantastic, I was so full but I devoured it haha. I don't recommend getting appetizers before your tasting menu unless you want leftovers- but boy was I happy to have leftovers the next day haha! 20% gratuity is added to the bill if you get a tasting menu but the staff deserved more, so we left additional tip for the wonderful service. Arriving with happy hour expectations and leaving with a 5 star full on dining experience was a fun deviation. My husband was super happy with his bday dinner and our spontaneous tasting choice.

    Flavorful, love a deviled egg

    We ordered oxtails raviolis, the halibut, deviled eggs and Dungeness crab roll, needless to say we ordered each plate twice. Very unexpected, we shared plates and enjoyed everything we had to run it back... service was attentive and can't wait to revisit so that I can sit outside once the weather warms up Lastly, great playlist!!!

    Ricca Cathrina E.

    Had a wonderful dinner experience for the first time with a friend and everything we ordered was so delicious. My favorite was my salad and her cod dish. The donuts is definitely a must. Our server Hunter was awesome. The place is beautiful.

    Hi, Martha. Thank you for the question. We no longer waive corkage with purchase.

    What is the corkage fee?

    $25 per 750mL bottle, maximum of 3 bottles. $15 per $750mL bottle if the winery is located in the TriValley. Thank you for your question.

    Do you have wine pairings available? What is the selections for the Baby Blue Eyed Menu?

    Do they have any vegetarian options available? The menu on the website does not seem to call these out,

    Do they have any gluten free dishes? Or, are they gluten free friendly?

    Absolutely yes. Depending on the menu, at least 6 options and as many as 10. They are very accommodating. And the excellent wine list is completely gluten free!

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.

We ended up celebrating my birthday a little late here, and it was absolutely worth it. The restaurant itself is beautiful--my friend took so many great photos. It has very romantic vibes, but I was also surprised by how many larger groups were dining there, like work teams out for dinner. There are so many photo-worthy spots throughout the space. Now, let's talk about the food. I started with a glass of Pinot Noir. The truffle fries had great flavor, though they could've been cooked a bit longer. That said, the Caesar salad was incredible. It's so hard to find a restaurant with a truly good Caesar dressing, and this one nailed it. I'm literally craving it as I write this. We split it as an appetizer, and it's a generous portion--if you order it on your own, definitely add chicken or salmon. For our mains, my friend ordered the blackened salmon and I had the lamb chops. The truffle purée and potatoes that came with the lamb were a bit too salty for my taste, but the lamb itself was cooked absolutely perfectly. The blackened salmon was also a hit--no misses there. We were both very happy with our dishes. We finished with the molten cake, and I asked nicely if they could add raspberries and almonds, which they happily accommodated. Overall, this place still deserves five stars. There were a few minor things I would personally tweak, but we'd absolutely come back to try more dishes. That Caesar salad, though? I'm ordering it again--no question. Definitely check this place out!
