Smoky Margherita
Manit D.

Saw so many great reviews, had to try it. Full vegetarian/vegan restaurant. Since I was in the pizza mood, got the smoky margherita which was pretty good. Coming back here to try other things next time! Service was good too.

Large Mezze (from left to right)- hummus, eggplant, Roasted Red Pepper Romesco (7oz)

TL:DR - great vegetarian dish even for carnivores Service - prompt and friendly Parking - inside broadway plaza so weekend and holidays will be nuts. Be patient Ambiance - low key, quiet Food Shakshuka - solid. But must admit I like my version better. Sipeos a bit more cumin forward so YMMV Large mezze - delicious. Romesco was my favorite Beet gazpacho - yummy. If ordering the sampler try beet first cuz mango is total flavor town Mango gazpacho - some heat but amazing soup. Definitely would order this again Margherita pizza - solid. Line option for those wanting less veggies Avocado toast - always a fan favorite. Pro tip - no tickets for parking. All automatic and app driven. Check out the QR codes pro tip #2 - Lone bathroom is through the kitchen and requires asking to check availability.

Warm and bright atmosphere! Super great service! Don't realize I was picking a vegan place to meet with one of my friends but I'm glad it all worked out. I hate the plate of dips and let me tell you I could drink that whipped feta dip, it was amazing! The pistachio cheesecake was heavenly. The chocolate pomegranate tart was great! My friend really enjoyed her French toast! Parking is in a garage.

If anyone does free marketing for Sipeos, it's my bf-- he talks about them ALL. THE. TIME. He's ALWAYS down for Sipeos. Whenever the topic of east bay restaurants comes up-- Sipeos. We're thinking about getting dinner, I hear "what about Sipeos?" Or if we're asked for recommendations, "have you guys tried Sipeos?" WHAT HYPNOSIS HAVE YALL PUT THIS MAN UNDER ... On a serious note, it IS great. And all vegetarian...!!! I've lost track of how many times we've dined in or had takeout already. Some favorites: - SMALL MEZZE (especially the whipped feta and braised beet dips!!! OMG) - All the PINSAS. The flatbread is to die for - MANGO GAZPACHO (sweet and savory, with a little kick...! If there was ever a perfect summer soup, this is it) - IMPOSSIBLE "MEAT" BALLS (packed with Mediteranean flavor) Never had a bad meal here. And the staff are so friendly and accommodating. There's valid reasons my bf is obsessed!

All day specials menu: Soups, falafel, and lunch specials

We finally made Sipeos the priority after walking past it for ages on our True Food trips next door, and it earned the detour. California-Mediterranean spot with a big vegetarian focus, plenty of vegan and gluten-free options, and a solid cocktail and beer list to go with it. I had the Impossible Kefta, which was full of flavor and easily my favorite thing on the table. The Avocado Toast-ish held up too, piled with arugula, feta, and poached eggs. We finished with the Mediterranean Cocoa Mousse and it was worth every calorie. If you only order one thing, make it the kefta. The Turkish coffee deserves its own mention. I know my Turkish coffee, and this one was done right. Not burnt, thick and flavorful down to the last sip. Staff was friendly and on top of things. The indoor tables were all held by reservations, so they sat us at the bar, which turned out to be a nice perch anyway. Make a reservation if you want indoor seating, but the bar and the outdoor patio are both comfortable. Noise stayed low to average the whole time. We never had to raise our voices. Clean spot, well staffed. Parking is free for the first three hours in Broadway Plaza, so the logistics are easy. They serve brunch, lunch, and dinner, plus a happy hour Monday through Thursday with cheap bar bites and discounted drinks. Great experience start to finish. I'd come back for dinner or happy hour and bring friends next time.

Smoky Margherita

Fantastic vegetarian restaurant with great outdoor seating. Food tasted better than I expected. The impossible meatballs and the smoky margherita flat bread were both good. It wasn't too busy during brunch time on a weekend but I can see this being a popular dinner and a late afternoon spot.

Kanika K.

Loved the food! This place reminded me of Wildseed in Palo alto! We visited the place on Sunday at 7:30pm and parked in the parking lot. Parking is free for the first 3 hours at the lot and this place is very close to the garage exit. Servers were very informative and nice and they were quick to bring out the food as the restaurant was nearly empty. We sat outside on the patio which waz very refreshing too

Large mezze platter delicious
Cat N.

We went to lunch today and we had the sweetest and most efficient waitress ever! I didn't catch your name, but she's the one that's the nurse with four children so she definitely knew how to do her job and then some! We adored her. The food was great as was the ambience. I love the Mezza platter and the flatbread . What a nice place to go on a lovely afternoon in Walnut Creek highly recommend.

Dubai Chocolate soft serve & Turkish Delight dairy free soft serve
Chastity V.

Love their wide selection of phenomenal zero-proof cocktails, and I was wowed by their delicious food! Visited Sipeos around 3pm on a Friday without a reservation and was able to get seated right away. Shout out to Nami for the friendly and attentive service! Food: Eggplant Carpaccio (5/5) this was so surprisingly flavorful! Mushroom Medley Pinza (5/5) a great mix of mushrooms and sweet peppers, and the dough was excellent. For dessert I had the Turkish Delight dairy free soft serve (3.5/5) and my friend had the Dubai Chocolate soft serve. Drinks (zero-proof!): I enjoyed the Cosmopolita-no - raspberry syrup, elderflower, free spirits milano, lime, vegan foam. My friend had the Pica Pica and that was even better! ritual tequila alternative, house sangrita verde, lime, ginger, chili oil, habanero Lovely ambiance and very clean. Lots of outdoor seating.

Impossible Kefta Skewer
Amanda O.

My husband & I came to check this place out for brunch/lunch & fell in love! So many tasty food & drink options, very cute decor, peaceful outdoor dining, & very attentive staff. I wanted to come here while I was pregnant because they have a HUGE selection of non-alcoholic drinks & cocktails. But we ended up checking it out after & appreciate their low alcohol options as well. For drinks, we started with a ESPRESSO MARTINI-LO (cold brew, vermouth di torino, px sherry, salt, maple, dark chocolate shavings) & a DIRTY BIRD (manzanilla sherry, veso olive vermouth, black lemon, parsley oil). Both were unique & very delicious! We ordered the small mezze plate that comes with 2 different dips of your choice. We opted for the whipped feta (with honey & fermented chili oil) & the charred eggplant (with roasted garlic, greek yogurt, sesame, & herbs). I loved the items veggies just as much as the pita bread it came with. For our mains, he ordered the PESTO EGGPLANT & HOT HONEY pizza (zhug "pesto", diced eggplant, mozzarella, red onions, honey, chili oil & feta drizzle). Excellent flavor, cooked perfectly, & a fairly good size. I ordered the IMPOSSIBLE KEFTA roasted skewer plate (Impossible beef with Moroccan spices, red onions, mint). The skewer plate came with the skewers, lettuce, tomato-cucumber-rose pickled onion mixture, feta + choice of sauce served with seasoned rice. I picked the Zhug sauce aka mediterranean pesto - mint, parsley, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, lemon, spices & chilis. Overall it was insanely delicious & I fully intend on coming back soon!

Pistachio Cheesecake
JiaHui L.

what I came for! PISTACHIO CHEESECAKE because this was the star entrees skewers were good but Menu and server could be clearer about choices of sauces for the skewer plate, I didn't realize this until I saw online . Service could be better because I was brought milk- feta cheese not the vegan mozzarella one I requested and was charged $3 which isn't very apparent on the menu otherwise I would've omitted

Falafel bake with half order of pinsa
Gurdev B.

Stumbled upon this place after a long day of shopping. The aesthetic of the restaurant is super cute! The restaurant features vegan and vegetarian food. We ordered a small mezze plate which came with two dips and flatbread. For the dips we got the whipped feta, which was super delicious, and the roasted red pepper Romesco which was also delicious. We also ordered the elderflower lemonades which were crisp and refreshing. For the mains we got the cauliflower Mediterranean bowl and the baked falafel with a half order of pinsa. Lastly we got Dubai chocolate soft serve. I was hesitant to get it because I'm so over the poorly done Dubai chocolate trend which is everywhere but hands down it was soooo good. Also shout out to the sweet waitress who made so many good recommendations and constantly checked on us. I will definitely be back again!

Blue neon arches, a huge underwater mural, plush chairs and low tables along the back wall. Worth the detour. Chris was working the bar on his second day and greeted us like a regular. I skipped my usual Manhattan and went with the Smoke Break, bourbon with bitters, smoke and black cherry. He nailed it. That is the one I would order again. Kudos to Chris for making the smoke linger and make the drink taste fantastic. I had this one in Oregon and it was cool but Chris did a better job with his method that really did serious justice to the name. My wife wanted the Cucumber Cooler, but they were out of cucumber. She pivoted to Sauvignon Blanc, and they were out of that too. The wine list runs four whites and four reds, so there is not much room to maneuver if the cocktails are not your thing. Chris read the situation, offered up a Paper Airplane since she wanted something refreshing, and put it on the house. Classic good bartending. It was louder than expected for how few people were in the room. On a Saturday with a DJ, music and dancing, I would guess the volume gets close to a rave. Go Tuesday or Wednesday if you want to hear the person across from you, and you will probably catch them fully stocked. My guess is weekends clean them out. Cocktails run 16 to 18 dollars. There is also a 300 dollar tequila and cognac number called La Maria served in a glass rimmed with gold dust, if you have something to celebrate. Happy hour is Tuesday through Friday, 3 to 5. They are on the ground floor of the Waymark apartments at 121 Pringle Ave with a small patio out front and heaters. Great spot to hang out and talk with friends, and a good pre dinner or post dinner stop rather than a destination for the whole night. When those doors shut you are transported somewhere neat. I would go again.

The caviar deviled eggs could have been excellent if the mayonnaise or some element hadn't been overly salty. The bread with whipped mascarpone was great. The beet salad left something to be desired. We've had versions of the salad at many restaurants and it almost seemed like somebody deconstructed the salad, put everything together separately in layers because instead of the arugula being dressed or tossed, everything just sat on top of this soupy dressing on the bottom of the plate. For $48, I would have expected some starch or base to go with the lamb chops. It just came with a swath of yogurt and roasted red peppers. Both of those were delicious, but there was nothing hearty about the dish. The spicy rigatoni definitely emphasized the spice. I can handle my spice, but I would say there's substantially more heat than the average person would expect. It was delicious, but just be prepared. For dessert, we had the pumpkin mousse, and as far as mousses go, it definitely seemed more like just the filling part of a pumpkin pie. In fact, the entire dish was like a deconstructed pumpkin pie. All the separate ingredients and flavors were there and the pumpkin's spices were very fragrant, but nothing to write home about. For a place with a French name, there isn't actually much French about the menu itself, other than some French-inspired garnishes and sauces. For a more purist experience, we would probably go back to Rêve. I can see what it's trying to be, but it still comes across like they're reaching for it. For a sexy, cocktail spot in WC, it definitely delivers on that. I'd just also point out that the alley seating is extremely loud and live. The service was good, but just like the menu, just seemed slightly too lax for the image and the prices they're trying to justify. We shouldn't have to ask for a second water glass, we shouldn't have to ask for replacement silverware when dishes are being cleared up and new place settings are brought out. None of these elements are egregious, but for nearly a $200 night out, you would expect a notch or two higher execution across the board.

This Spanish/Mexican restaurant is simply EXCEPTIONAL. It's located across from the Post Office in Walnut Creek, just a short distance from the swanky North Main Street restaurant and bar scene. "Ezkina" is Basque for the Spanish word "esquina" which means "corner," and you can spot the difference the minute you walk in: real cotton/linen napkins on every table - none of the polyester or paper nonsense. Order a drink. Every cocktail is top-of-the-line. My wife had a margarita, and I had a Manhattan. Did the bartender go to Harvard's Bar Tender's School? We savored every sip. We enjoy trying new dishes, so this time I had the Chicken Mole De La Casa, and my wife had the Huitlacoche Stuffed Chicken (Huitlacoche adds sort of a smoky, woody, mushroom, and black truffle taste to the dish). Both were out-of-this-world delicious. AND, as a surprise, they offered an off-menu dessert: Carajillo Bread Pudding (a rich spiked bread pudding with notes of coffee and Licor 43 topped with vanilla ice cream). So the next time you're heading to the Post Office, bring a thirst for something new and visit Ezkina... there's a ton of free parking behind the restaurant. Main Street eat your heart out.

We kicked things off with mimosas, which were delicious and clearly made with great champagne rather than the cheap filler you sometimes get at brunch spots. A heads-up if you have your heart set on specific menu items: they were out of the biscuits and gravy and their Bloody Mary selection when we visited. Even though it was just us and one other table, our food took a little while to come out, which just tells me they are taking their time in the back making everything fresh from scratch--and once the plates hit the table, it was 100% worth the wait. Both dishes had such an inviting presentation: The Hoppin' John: An awesome balance of savory saltiness with just a slight hint of sweet. The textures were spot on, and the runny egg on top brought the whole dish together. The Honey French Toast: This officially passed my partner's French toast test. Instead of just being bread fried in an egg wash, this had a rich, decadent custard soaked all the way through the center. Serving the butter on the side with finishing salt to cut through the sweetness was a brilliant touch, and the honey-based syrup (at least I think it was honey--whatever it was, it was incredible) sealed the deal. Between the cool atmosphere, great drinks, and standout food, we will definitely be back again.

My husband and I made a point of clearly communicating my severe nut allergy to our server. This critical information was reiterated on two subsequent occasions: first, when I opted for the salad after the tomato soup was unavailable, specifically noting the limited nut-free choices, and again, when my husband ordered the tiramisu cocktail. Given that we frequently share dishes, I inquired if the garnish on his drink contained nuts, prompting our server to verify with the bar and confirm its absence. We ordered the beef and lamb dumpling appetizer. The menu description for this item did not list any nut ingredients. Shortly after we began consuming the dish, my husband noted an unexpected crunchy texture. A query to another staff member, who then consulted our server, led to our server returning to our table and asking about my well-being. At this point, I was already experiencing a tingling sensation in my tongue, a clear indicator of an allergic reaction. When I directly asked if the dish contained nuts, our server confirmed the presence of pine nuts, responding with "I know, I'm sorry," when reminded of my previously stated allergy. This incident is profoundly disturbing. It highlights a critical lapse in the establishment's adherence to food safety protocols, specifically concerning allergen communication and staff training. The failure to accurately disclose all ingredients on your menu, coupled with the apparent disregard for my repeatedly communicated life-threatening allergy, is unacceptable and put my health, and potentially my life, at severe risk. My evening, which was intended to be a celebratory occasion, was instead marked by fear and distress. I expected a thorough investigation into this matter, a detailed explanation of the immediate and long-term steps the establishment planned to implement to rectify these deficiencies including improvements to the menu labeling practices, comprehensive and mandatory allergen awareness training for all staff, and a review of overall safety procedures to ensure such a dangerous oversight does not affect other patrons. Instead I got an email saying they would look into it and get back to me in a week. It's been almost 9 months.

Both the red and green salsas had really good flavor without being overly spicy. We also ordered spicy margaritas, and the bartender definitely knew what they were doing. The drinks were well-balanced with just the right amount of heat. For our entrees, we ordered the burrito, carne plate, enchiladas, and the bee salad. The standout was definitely the carne--it was incredibly tender and practically melted in your mouth. It was cooked perfectly. The burrito was absolutely massive and packed with flavor, while the enchiladas tasted homemade and were comforting and delicious. Everyone at the table left happy. Overall, it was a great dining experience with delicious food, excellent drinks, and attentive service despite how busy they were. We'll definitely be back--especially because their brunch menu is next on our list!

Came here for brunch because the reviews are outstanding for the Margaritas. I'm not even going to…read morefront... the Margs hit. We both had the frozen strawberry house Margaritas and we loved every bit of it. We bought 2 lol. The guacamole was delicious as well. Not too acidic. I ordered the quest birria entree and my friend ordered the tacos. We throughly enjoyed our food. Very well seasoned and served hot. I love that they give coleslaw and avocado on the side. Everything was tasty. The waitress was great with her reccomendationa. She never gave me her name, but thank you. Lastly, I am unable to give them a 5 star because we waited about an hr for our food to come. Yes, it gave us plenty of time to talk... but that was ridiculous. What made it worse is that our original waitress did not tell us anything. She came to see if we needed another drink, but she didn't bother to tell us our food was coming late and the reason. I didn't appreciate that at all. It wasn't until Nikita came in for her shift that she informed us that our food was late because the machine that printed ordershad an issue. This was at 1:29 pm.. we ordered around 12:40 pm or so. I explained to her that I was going to submit a review because I'm both a Google reviewer and a Yelp Elite and this was horrible to hear due to the lack of communication from both the manager and our waitress. Sadly.. the deserved 5 starts up until that point. Andrew (Manager) finally brought our food out with an apology at some point. I will most likely go back because the food and drinks are worth it.

Personal favorite Italian spot in Walnut Creek. It's a great place for pizza and pasta, flavorful…read moreall around. The drinks were absolutely superb and definitely the unexpected highlight of the night. Service was great as well so definitely a place to check out if you're in the mood for Italian. If you're coming on a Friday and the weekends, highly recommend you to make a reservation as spots will fill up. The bar seating is open to walk-in and they do serve the full menu fwiw.

The place gets an extra star for the service. Otherwise it would have been one star…read more Decided to try this place for the family Friday dinner. Two adults, two kids (total bill was ~$450). Observations: 1) The place is very small. They sit you outside in a very windy alley. The food gets cold within 5min or so. Heaters don't help that much. 2) When you make a reservation on OpenTable you choose "Standard seating" - it doesn't mean inside. Inside capacity is about 50 or so ppl with 10 or so by the bar. So capacity is very limited. 3) We ordered lemonade for kids. They serve it in short glasses filled with ice to the brim (despite our ask for "no ice"), effectively reducing the liquid volume. We paid $35 for lemonade. 4) Food is very uneventful, nothing was remarkable. Their gnocchi with meat resembled Chef Boyardee from back in college times. Not sure why this place felt so pretentious with really no substance to back it. With so many options around like Montecatini, Doppio Zero, Benvenuti, La Fontaine, etc, not sure how they are still in business. Definitely not recommended for families, and have a hard time figuring out what audience they cater to.

Loved the spirits and cocktail selection. I tried the Booker's Bourbon, which was really nice and…read morecomplementary to the bourbons I sip on back home, and the Chai Old Fashioned, which hit really nostalgic for me and was unique and balanced. The ambiance was awesome too, especially the great conversation with the bartender. Just a very chill, homey vibe. I'd definitely frequent here more often if I lived closer. A few pieces of constructive feedback: * The Butter Chicken Tacos were a bit underseasoned and needed a little more acidity * A spirits menu would be a nice complement, or even flight options * More rum options Will definitely try to come back. A definite recommend!

Fantastic drink. My friend tasted mine and ordered the same. The selection is the draw here. Whiskey lines the entire back wall, the rarer bottles sit behind wire-mesh locked cabinets, and there is a deep bench of tequila, beer on tap, and wine to round things out. One look at the shelves tells you they have the base for any drink you want. We split the Margherita flatbread, pesto, fresh mozzarella, and blistered cherry tomatoes, and it hit the spot as a drinking snack. The menu goes deeper than expected for a bar, with sliders, naan tacos, and charcuterie if you show up hungry. Service was good considering the staff-to-crowd ratio. Sevan stayed attentive the whole time and clearly knows his stuff. The vibe is chill and conversation-friendly, not too loud for the size of the room, with a bank of TVs toward the back if you want to catch a game. Logistics are easy. The bar sits a short walk from Pleasant Hill BART and parking in the area was no trouble. I've been a few times before and this visit confirmed why I keep coming back. For a high quality cocktail in the East Bay, this is the spot.
