recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and it exceeded every expectation. From the…read moremoment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting--perfectly balancing comfort with a touch of elegance. The ambiance alone sets the stage for a memorable experience. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. From the first bite to the last, it was obvious that a lot of care and creativity goes into the menu. Whether you're there for a full meal or just a quick bite, there's something that will impress. What truly stood out, though, was the service(Nathan, Franchesca, and Sharin). The staff were attentive without being overbearing, friendly without feeling forced, and genuinely committed to making sure every guest had a great experience. It's rare to find a team that works so seamlessly together while maintaining such a welcoming attitude. I will be coming back here many more times!

Eureka is probably one of the more underrated burger and whiskey joints around. Their multiple…read morehappy hour, late opening hours, really good food, great beer tap list, and remarkable whiskey collection make them one of our go-to locations. The staff has consistently been friendly, accommodating, and quick with service. I also enjoy their whiskey club, but even if you don't join it, they have every bottle available for purchase or drinks at the bar. And some of those bottles were highly rated and very hard to find. Their burgers are tasty and juicy and they bring new versions out that are usually pretty imaginative. Overall, we really like Eureka for its atmosphere, burgers, whiskey, and beer. If you are looking for good food and good times, this is the place.

I've been going to this place with my boyfriend and the food always came great. Service was…read moresometimes a hit or miss but tolerable. The missed ones are usually due to slower service but still okay versus other restaurants I had been to. Yesterday we were here again and the service was fantastic! Our server, Anthony, was very personable. He is obviously genuinely nice because he showed the same kind of energy across the tables he attended to. We asked him about specific details of the menu and he obviously knew the menu by heart. We ordered the chicken nachos, among others, and we enjoyed it better this time because we were able to "customize" it to our liking because he was able to enumerate to us the ingredients so we were able to exclude those we didn't like. The temperature inside was very refreshing coming from the high heat outside.

I've come here a few times and each times I've enjoyed my meal…read more The first time I came here was with my family (about 15 people on a Saturday evening) we didn't have a reservation but were seated right away. The first time I came I ordered the lobster garlic noodles and they were really tasty, lots of lobster and even had leftovers for lunch. My kids both liked their food- one ordered the pizza kids meal and the other the sliders. There was a few mishaps on the first visit, some of the people in our group waited a while to get their food and we ask for condiments twice before we got them, but hey it was busy and we were a large group. On my second visit I order the fish and chips and they were good, fish was crispy and again, the serving was huge! My kids ordered the same thing on our second visit and they had no complaints. Both times we were seated fast. It is a sports bar and it does get busy and loud so if that's something you don't like, maybe skip it or request to sit outside! I would come here again!

I recently visited Back Forty BBQ in Pleasant Hill after having heard the name for years, being…read morethat the name is always amongst the top bbq restaurants mentioned at Reno's Annual Ribfest. Starting with this restaurant, it is HUGE. There are private dining rooms, bar areas, regular dining areas, and a soon-to-be outside patio. There is no shortage of places to eat at. The ambience is Texas/Cowboy/American themed throughout. The Food. I ordered the Grand Pit with Pulled Pork, Brisket, pork ribs, and an extra order of beef ribs. I also ordered the cowboy steak or ribeye. I had quite a few sides which included the mashed potatoes, baked potato, cornbread, baked beans and dinner rolls. My favorite of the meats was definitely the ribs, both beef and pork, plus the ribeye was amazing. What stood out also was how good the sides were, my favorite being the mashed potatoes, baked potato, and cornbread. The staff incredibly friendly, very efficient, and really made my first experience special. Can't wait to back and try the burger and Reuben they have on the menu

That energy makes the whole place even better. The potato wedges deserve their own fan club! There is some kind of magic wizardry happening there. Crispy on the outside, fluffy like mashed potatoes on the inside, and so ridiculously good you'll probably start guarding your plate lol!! :P My favorite is the Hangout omelette. It always hits! And the French toast is dangerously good too, soft in the middle, golden on the edges, and exactly the kind of breakfast that disappears way too fast. And do not leave without ordering the ube espresso or the dirty matcha espresso. Trust me. Both are absolutely worth it! Honestly, this is one of those places that just makes you happy :D So, so good!!!!

Chicken was piping hot and very crispy. Burger was decent. Loved the fries. When we left at 12:35, there were less people inside! So maybe people like to do brunch on fridays? Overall, the dishes here seem bigger than the one in Walnut Creek but I didn't order the same dishes so I can't compare . And they didn't raise price in 2 yrs so it's good. I would come back if in the area.

Happy Mothers Day to all the mommies ! This is my first time coming here and it's Mother's Day so…read morelet's get into it ! First it's a nice sunny day ! We have tried to come here before but it was super packed no parking and it was night time . This was months ago . This morning my man surprised me by bringing me here again for Mother's Day breakfast/brunch . We got there right when opening and the inside was already full ( people made reservations for Mother's Day but they had outdoor seating which is covered from the sun and has heaters ) They had a special menu for Mother's Day today so a lot of what you might see on the regular menu may have not been on today's menu . Our waiter let alone the rest of the staff were very nice and polite and kept wishing happy Mother's Day to everyone . It was very nice . Now food ! Ofcourse you know I got oysters . They had 5 different kinds to choose from but I got the dozen with all of them ! All fresh ! Some were more sweet some more Briney some more creamy . All of them were good and the shallot vinaigrette was the cherry on top ! He got the tortilla soup and we shared the cheesy crabby bread . He dipped it in the soup ( boys lol ) and sad it was good . My personal opinion I love the bread they used ! And nice flavor with out taking away from the nice amount of crab they put on it ! The steak Cobb salad was a very nice portion and the steak was cooked medium rare just how I like it . I was expecting it to be cut up pieces but no they gave you a whole filet which is nice if you want something light and filling I'd definitely recommend this salad . The clams were amazing ! The sauce was so savory just added a dash of lemon and I was in heaven . Plus the cheesy toasted bread they give you to slurp all that excellence lol top tier . Crab omelette was made with egg whites only no yolk , and had ample amount of LUMP crab meat no skimpy at all ! Potatoes were seasoned nice . And the waffles ( which comes by itself heads up that's why we ordered sausage and bacon as a side 8$ each kinda pricey. But we're very thick and good ) the waffles comes with a berry butter spread fresh fruit . Fluffy but still crisp. The limoncello mimosa flavor wise loved the limon but lacked the mosa part . Overall I'd highly recommend and want to come back to try more options . It was nice seeing all the happy families and the cutesy babies all around . Today was a beautiful day thankyou Wences !

We tend to enjoy sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartender. Sometimes it can be hard getting a seat without reservations.

Wowww... I couldn't have been more impressed. I made a reservation for Valentine's Day for me and…read moremy girlies and yesss it was busyyy! Reservations were nearly full but luckily we got a spot early in the morning. The place was packed, but I see why. I loved their drinks as well as their Tom Yum Paella. The portion was a bit small compared to other places however the flavor was immaculate! Months go by and I'm still thinking of this dish. The green sauce was what really made the dish top tier in my opinion. I truly loved how unique this dish was and I can't wait to try more! Staff were super friendly. We were a party of 3 and they sat us in a booth. We're all foodies and we tend to order a lot sometimes so I loved how much space we had at the booth. It was truly perfect!

We came at opening on Saturday just in case there was a brunch rush, but thankfully at 8am it didn't seem too busy yet. We were promptly greeted with a smile and seated at a table with fresh flowers and morning sun. The menu options are extensive, especially drinks, but we settled on some specials - a steak omurice and what we'd come for, fried chicken (but on a benedict instead of a waffle). Our items came out ~10 minutes later looking pretty garnished with flowers. The omurice was advertised as "medium spicy" and wasn't too bad. We had the spicy red wine sauce on the side and enjoyed cutting the omelette to drape over the rice. While there was spice, the dish also felt a little lacking for some reason - although the cook on the meat was good and it was tender. The fried chicken benedict was served with two crispy purple potatoes, mayo, and a lightly dressed arugula salad that was a good size. I found the benny eggs to be a bit unevenly cooked so they didn't ooze golden when cut, but it still tasted rich and yummy with the crunchy-crispy fried chicken. The pickled red onions really added good pop to this dish. Both dishes were fine but not memorable in taste. Prices are on the higher end but I could see good quality ingredients going into these dishes so perhaps it's justified. Very friendly staff though and fun menu options (often Thai fusion)! A solid addition to the local brunch scene - and they also serve dinner :) We didn't get the instagrammable drinks with ombre color and marshmallow bears but that also seems to be a highlight of The Royale!

When I walked in, I was the only customer there, but the chef immediately greeted me with such a warm and welcoming attitude that it instantly made me feel comfortable. He took the time to give me suggestions and made the experience feel personal instead of rushed. I ended up getting the chicken sandwich with fries, and wow... that sandwich was incredible. Every single bite was dripping and oozing with flavor and sauce in the best way possible. The chicken was juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. It honestly tasted like one of those meals you keep thinking about afterward because it was THAT good. And the fries? Somehow they reminded me of a perfect mix between McDonald's fries and Wingstop fries. Crispy, flavorful, addictive, and impossible to stop eating. What made the experience even more memorable was the atmosphere. While I was enjoying my meal, there was a gentleman in the back playing bongos/music, and it created such a relaxing and unique vibe. The combination of amazing food, warm hospitality, and live music turned what started as a lonely Valentine's Day into a genuinely comforting and unforgettable night. Definitely a hidden gem, and I'll absolutely be back again.
