Went in for the lunch special and it did not disappoint! The salad had so many wonderful flavors, it might be my favorite. We also got the beef wrap. The beef was tender and seasoned perfectly plus it was huge!! 10/10 would recommend! read more

I first discovered this place at a Yelp event and loved everything I tried, so I knew I had to come back for dinner. This time we ordered the scallops, lamb chops, pita bread, fish taco appetizer, and everything was absolutely delicious. The scallops were my parents favorite dish of the night, but honestly, every item we ordered was fantastic. Great food, great flavors, and a place we'll definitely be returning to. read more

Stereo 41 offers generous lunch portions and flavors that will not disappoint. We shared the chicken wrap, lamb neck salad, and braised beef salad, all excellent. The meat was tender, and each dish had a nice balance of grains and greens. The real surprise was the beet appetizer. We expected a basic chopped salad, but got beautifully thin-sliced beets topped with bold, flavorful garnishes. It's a must try for beet lovers. Our server Diego was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic. Exactly the energy a good lunch spot should have. Highly recommend. read more

Nice ambiance! I visited on a Friday night and they had a live DJ. The music was great and really added to the atmosphere. The food was a little overpriced for what it was. I ordered the braised chicken, but it was fairly plain and lacked flavor. the service was ok read more

The food here genuinely impressed me, the sweet potato tempura, meatballs, and pita bread are all worth coming back for, and the overall menu has a lot going for it. The ambiance is also a vibe; it's the kind of place you want to love. That said, service is one of the things I weigh heavily when trying somewhere new, and unfortunately it was the low point of the night. Our server had us waiting 20-30 minutes both to get our order taken and to receive the check, and it was hard not to notice she was mostly engaged in other convos or not tending to us at all. We made a few attempts to flag her down and felt invisible which made me a bit frustrated On the drinks - the Calypso were enjoyable but leaned on the lighter side/juice heavy The food and atmosphere are there but the service needs to improve . I'd consider returning but I'd hope for a more attentive experience next time. read more

From the moment I walked in I knew I was in for a treat. The exterior looks gorgeous and the interior was just beautiful. We were seated immediately and had the friendliest and informative server, I believe her name is Ashley. She went over the lunch options and made a fantastic recommendation. We ordered a hamachi tostada, chicken wrap, halloumi skewers, along with Sour Candy and a red spritz. Everything was super flavor. The drinks were refreshing, the skewers were a nice balance of sweet and salty, the tostada was an explosion of flavor with the creaminess from the avocado, the spice, the citrus, and the hamachi was so fresh. The chicken wrap was incredible and I was not expecting the size to be a foot long! Overall, I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Celebrated a birthday at Stereo 41!! Loved the new summer menu with a very fun twist on a martini and the mezze platter. The platter came with veggies from the framers market served with a Lebanese aioli. The fresh bread paired great with the three dips- hummus, red pepper, and herbed goat cheese. Service was excellent read more

I made a lunch reservation. I walked in to be seated, no one was there when I arrived. I waited about 5 -8 minutes, meanwhile took a few pictures. I started with the sour candy mocktail, $13. The drink was good, just like sour candy, light on tamarind flavor but it had over 50% of ice. I believe it watered down the flavor. Then I got one hamachi tostada, it was delish. The chili oil stood out. It gets messy eating it, but very good flavors. Slightly like a ceviche tostada. The price of $28 I felt was high for a small appetizer. The chicken wrap was delish and packed with meat. I liked the olives in it. It came with a cucumber salad which paired excellent. The cucumber salad was full of flavor. I could taste the mint, cilantro and fennel. Very refreshing. It also came with a side salad. I felt the side salad had too much dressing for my liking. The Moroccan paste/sauce it came with was super delish, flavorful tomato paste/herb with a kick. The wrap was def worth its value of $17, it was a nice size and heavy on meat. I ordered a tiramisu dessert $14, it was very cute, the bread was good tasting. He did mentioned it had banana... just didn't get that tiramisu feel or flavor it was a little more on the bland side for the cream. The bread inside of it was delish. I was pretty stuffed that I brought some home. There is a large dining area inside and can look out to downtown WC. Booth and table/chair seating. There's also a side outdoor seating with plenty of light. Theme is disco. They had music playing at excellent volume not too loud but not too low. read more

Dropped in for a Yelp Elite event and was very impressed. Background music was a nice lunch touch - not too loud so you couldn't talk yet you could hear the tunes. Host was fantastic, took the time to explain the event to me, accommodated my request for a window facing seat, and made sure I had a good experience. Server was fantastic and I appreciated her recommendation to be sure to squirm the lime on the tostada. Definitely coming back with the Mrs for happy hour! Sour Candy Mocktail.... first sip came across as grapefruit juice but second sip was full flavors of tamarind, passion fruit. Super delicious, mild puckering. I suspect the juice was in the straw when it was placed in the glass! Hamachi Tostada... fantastic flavors, just the right amount of spices, hamachibwas super fresh and tender, nice subtle sauce, great balanced. The crunch of the tostada was a nice touch. Chicken wrap.... big wrap full of chicken and loads of flavor. Tender meat, nice condiments, slightly toasted wrap was subtly crunchy. read more

We saw this place the last time we were in town hanging out and said the next time we come to town we would try it out, so here we are. The inside is really nice and the DJ playing music is great. Its not a club type atmosphere more like a lounge that has food and music which is nice. We came at happy hour so of course we tried drinks and food that was on the happy hour menu. We ordered the Little Red Corvette and the Silk Road. Both of the drinks were great. The little Red Corvette is one of those drinks that you could keep drinking so fast and then it hit you. The Silk Road had more of a sipper drink, manly because of the type of alcohol in it, you couldn't drink it fast like the little Red Corvette. For apps we ordered the Beef Karaz meatballs, the Halloumi cheese skewers, and the Mushroom Skewers. The apps came out pretty quick which was nice. The meatballs were tender, had a curry flavor to it, and the sauce that accompanied it was perfect sweet taste to it. The Cheese skewers were cooked perfect and tasty. The mushrooms skewers had some good flavor and also cooked perfect. The service was great as well. The employees were really nice and attentive. We will definitely be back to try some entrees. read more

The lunch wraps and bowls here are too delicious to skip out on. This has become a must visit when we are in this area and a wonderful place to spend time at with loved ones. The tastes and flavors of the food here are so unique and we need to try the rest of the menu. We love the mocktails, chicken wrap, beef wrap and the hamachi tostada! read more

I really loved the ambiance!! The tostada was to die for!! However, the chicken wrap was good but if the wrap had more sauce it would of been better as the chicken was a little dry. However, I will be coming back because it looks like this is the place to go to at lunch and I had a mocktail which was delicious!! read more

Cool space with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Fun, hip, almost clubby restaurant vibe. The chicken wrap for lunch was *HUGE* and quite tasty with a lot of nice chargrilled chicken and some veggies, a light white yogurt type sauce and a dark/spicy harissa style sauce on the side. The hamachi tostada had some super fresh ingredients and great flavors including a spicy tasty sauce, a bit hunk of fresh hamachi, and some nice avocado. The haloumi skewers with figs were pretty good, another large portion which was nice. The beef salad was not bad, though the beef was a little mushy and bland. The stars of the show were the drinks though. I had a mocktail (Sour Candy) that was very tasty and well made and I had a cocktail (Calypso) that was like a classic tiki drink but with a nice hint of herbal bitterness (from the Campari) -- plus it came with a flaming 151 shot in a hollowed out lime on top! Definitely want to come back for more drinks and to try another food item or 2 (possibly for brunch!). read more

I recently hit up Stereo 41 at Happy hour with my foodie friend, I went in the middle of their HH and sat right up at the Bar with the Bartender Juan, I had ordered a few Appetizers off the menu and the drinks were pretty good. I gave the Bartender a custom recipe for a Drink I made and he nailed it. My frend had ordered their version of the Manhattan and it tasted great with the Cardonmon. Mushroom Skeweres, Tuna Tartare, and Hamachi Tostadas were really good. Definitely a new place to try before they start the Music and Live Deejay. I believe if we stayed a little later, we missed the Belly dancing performance. Maybe next time when we go there for dinner. read more

Very cute upscale and modern restaurant with a live DJ! This place reminds me of something you'd find in Santa Monica or DTLA! Service was very friendly and attentive!

Pricing is on the higher side but makes sense for the area. Will definitely be back for dinner some time! read more

An interesting atmosphere where brunch felt like a club. Definitely a place to go for dinner and drinks. The food was tasty. The baklava french toast was beautiful and delicious. Though tasty, the breakfast sandwich was not what I was expecting for the price. Serviice was great. But the one thing I have issue with is the fact that the waitress didn't tell me that a 20% tip was already added for our group of 6, especially when I had asked her directly if the tip was added and I ended up tipping more not knowing thta it was already added. I know places like this would automatically, include which is fine and why I ask to confirm. I'm happy to tip more if the service is exceptional, but maybe the DJ needs to turn down the music so people can actually hear each other. read more

Stereo 41 is the real deal! Incredible fusion of Middle Eastern flavors and Japanese influence. We came for a birthday lunch and were blown away by the food and the service. Don't miss: -Hamachi Tostada: 10/10. The highlight of the day. -Halloumi Kebabs: The fig and honey glaze is a game changer. -Chocolate Halva Cake: A "must" for chocolate lovers--tastes like a high-end Ferrero Rocher. -Drinks: Even the zero-proof options (Verjus Spritz and Sour Candy) are sophisticated and delicious. Special shoutout to our waitress! Our waitress noticed that I gave my friend flowers and a gift. She quietly asked who and what was the special occasion before we were seated. At the end of the meal, she surprised us with a candle and a chocolate birthday sign on our dessert. Such a class act. Walnut Creek needed a spot like this--I can't wait to return. read more

Went for happy hour, though we ordered dessert from the regular menu. The vibe is a standout--great mix of modern and throwback, and the service was genuinely friendly and helpful throughout. The food has unique flavor twists that work. The milk-strained cocktail was the most impressive item of the night, though it could've been better explained--specifically what alcohol was used = tequila. That said, the food quality was just okay overall. The oysters tasted a bit fishy despite the toppings, and the hamachi tacos fell short--the fish was noticeably stringy. Dessert was also a miss: the baklava arrived cold vs room temp or slightly warmed-- and took a full 37 minutes from order to table. It's a bit pricey for happy hour. The dinner menu does have some intriguing entrées, so it might be worth another visit to try those instead. read more

The restaurant tries to be fancy using a fusion of Japanese and middle eastern ingredients. Standard falafel with Nori, yet i couldn't taste or smell the nori and they managed to sell it for $16 for 5 pieces. The appetizer platter was typical hummus, muhamara which was not exactly that. And tasty cheese dip. The fresh vegetables were radishes, carrots, zucchini . The dishes were average of $40+ and given the quality and portions it was over priced. The sides were limited. We were celebrating a birthday and they didn't do anything special considering what they charge. The usual expectation is either a small candle or a small dessert or something but nothing like that. We also had to wait for the server to show up to get us water. That was very annoying. read more

The food was excellent. Service was a little slow (hence minus one ), but overall it's was good. We couldn't get inside, even with a reservation, we were only able to sit outside. Food was very good. We got the Nori Falafel, Shrimp Shishito Risotto, Hokkaido Scallops, and Tiramisu. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but there is a parking garage around the corner. Street parking is available, but limited. Best to make reservations. Walk-ins are available, but on a busy night like tonight, walk-ins couldn't get in. We definitely plan on coming back. read more

Dinner was delicious! The service was wonderful. I can't praise Tara enough for the wonderful conversation and food recommendations! My table ordered everything she recommended, and I was pleasantly surprised with the unique flavors and textures of the various dishes. The Halloumi Cheese looked like tofu and had a similar texture but when you bite into it with the fig, honey, and sesame, you are greeted with a nice salty and sweet flavor combination. I also enjoyed the Hamachi Tostada. While it was another great dish, just beware there is a slow burn to this one. The chili will sneak up on you! If you choose to get the Hamachi Tostada, I recommend you order the Limonada mocktail. The creaminess of the drink will help put out the burn. The braised beef paired perfectly with the turmeric rice. The crunch of the pistachios was a nice touch to the rice. I expected the radicchio salad to be bitter but the berry vinaigrette and burrata helped balance the flavors so it was not bitter at all. If it's an option on the menu for the night, try the Miso Almond Ice Cream. It was an unexpected but flavorful dessert. The ambiance felt like a contemporary and trendy lounge. Although there wasn't a DJ present (he/she apparently comes around 9:00 pm), the music wasn't too loud. I could hear the conversation at my table. It was overall a fun and delicious place to try in Walnut Creek. read more

We went to Stereo 41 in Walnut Creek to celebrate my birthday and had a great experience overall. We had reservations, and everything from the atmosphere to the food was good. The space is modern, stylish, and beautifully decorated definitely a great spot for a special occasion or night out. I'd recommend a reservation as they were pretty busy on a Thursday night. The hamachi tostada and the A4 tenderloin Wagyu were absolute standouts and easily our favorite dishes of the night both were incredible and packed with flavor. They were out of lamb that night so they were able to give us beef Karaz instead of the lamb. The cocktails were also very good and well-crafted. We got the gimme gimme gimlet and the basil one which I can't remember the name. Service was excellent throughout the evening attentive, friendly, and professional. The only small downside was that no one asked if we were celebrating anything, which would have been a nice touch since we were there for my birthday dinner. That said, it didn't take away from an otherwise wonderful experience. read more

My husband and I came here for dinner. Reservation is definitely recommended as we saw folks having to leave due to not having a reservation esp on a weekend evening. We sat by the chefs counter, where we got to watch the action in the kitchen. The place was lively and they had a dj playing music. Vibe was definitely really fun! For food, we got the hamachi tostada, trout and lamb kushiyaki (skewers), braised beef dish, and ended our meal with a baklava. Food is middle eastern with Japanese influence which is really unique. Our favorite was the hamachi tostadas! read more

A beautiful new restaurant with incredibly flavorful and delicious Middle Eastern food and a live DJ. Visited here for a double date in late December and all four of us enjoyed the meal and vibes. The Hamachi Tostada deserves 5 stars on its own. If you come here, you MUST order it. The fresh fish comes with chili crunch, avocado, and umami mayo on a crispy tostada, and it is bursting with flavor. It's been 3 weeks and I'm still daydreaming about it! For my entree, I got the Braised Lamb Neck, which is another 5-star dish. As an individual serving, the tender, flavorful lamb was cooked to perfection with zataar, herb, and pomegranate and served on turmeric rice. The portion was large, possibly sharable for two if you have a couple of starters/appetizers. I took home leftovers. My fiancé got the Slow Cooked Beef, which was also very tasty with tender meat and a generous portion. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the Nori Falafel, which felt a bit flavorless in comparison to our other food. I was happy to see they have a selection of tasty zero-proof cocktails! I enjoyed my Palomita. Stereo41 is great for celebrating special occassions or for a fancy date night, as it is pricey to eat here for dinner. On my budget I probably can't afford to go often, but when I do come back it will be a special treat! read more

Ok, I now understand the hype about this spot! After a grueling work week, I was in the mood to try something new and fun. Stereo41 is the new hot spot in Walnut Creek, with a cool and unique concept. The cuisine is Middle-Eastern with Japanese influence - what a cool combo, and one that executes very well. The flavor combinations jump at you, and will revive even the most jaded palates. We ordered the hamachi tostada ($23), and the other reviewers raving about it weren't lying. Fresh hamachi, with avocado and chili, in a umami mayo sauce. Oh wow. Beautiful flavors, just the right amount of spice, and they didn't skimp on the fish. Nice crunchy texture as well. Do try this. We also went with a dozen oysters ($2/oyster on the happy hour menu, 6 piece per customer limit). The habanero/shallot mignonette is nice. We also had the trout sashimi ($16). I enjoyed the citrusy shiso sauce. Beverage-wise: The Sassanid Smash cocktail is tasty. Interesting tamarind flavor you don't find in too many cocktails. Also tried the Stereo Martini; beautiful presentation but a bit too sweet for my taste. Attractive interior, with lots of pops of color. Evidently the cool artwork was done by one of the owners himself! One thing I would change is the seating area in the dining room. Instead of tables and chairs, I would suggest more of a lounge layout, with low tables, rugs, stools, pouffy cushions to sit on, etc. and some colorful curtains to cover the large windows and create a dimmer, more intimate environment. Stereo41's other claim to fame is the sound system, which they evidently invested a lot into designing. I'm sure audiophiles will appreciate this aspect of the experience, but it's a bit lost on me, tbh. Maybe it's the music genre. Let's put on some Purple Disco Machine (perfectly fitting for the ambiance!) and I'll be sold. Strong start for this new Walnut Creek spot. I'm confident they will do well. Reservations are recommended. read more

Started with the pita and tuum which was simple but really good. Warm pita, tons of flavor. We also grabbed a couple cocktails and they were solid, easy to drink and well balanced. The slow cooked barramundi was cooked really nicely, but the braised lamb neck was the favorite at the table. Super tender, rich, and comforting without being too heavy. Ended with the layered baklava dessert and it was a great way to wrap things up. Not overly sweet and just done well. Service was friendly and relaxed, and the space felt nice without being over the top. Good spot for a chill date night or a nicer dinner in Walnut Creek read more

Is this the new hot spot in Walnut Creek? I felt honored to have the opportunity to join a friend to check out the super cool digs. Daytime lunch party? I think so. I really love that you can find spots in the East Bay that have an emphasis on fun and multi-functional for guests that may not be able to make it out on the late night (newer mamas, I see you!) And if you take anything from this review..the hamachi tostada is worth driving for. Chef's kiss. No notes. Served with chili oil/crunch, avo, umami mayo, and a simply beautiful presentation, this dish can't be missed. I'm still thinking about how each bite was packed with so much flavor and crunch. A few other things to note..the ambiance and stellar vibe. I adore the vibrant colors and pop of pinks throughout the restaurant interior/exterior. I can't wait to already come back for an evening event (cue the babysitter!). The interior is spacious, and the outdoor space is just waiting for fun. The bar is beautiful and the cocktails look divine. I went with a zero proof Sour Candy mocktail for this go-around, and that was the perfect sip decision. As for mains, our party did lunch bowls ~ lamb and beef. So tender, innovative, and love the blend of Middle Eastern and Japanese influences..what a delight. On the way out I had to stop for a round of applause for the pink DJ booth and of course, the disco balls. Such a treat. Tickled pink to return soon to enjoy more menu memories. Bravo! Located in downtown Walnut Creek, metered parking can be found and also there is a parking garage a few blocks over that has fair pricing :) read more

From start to finish, the staff was truly exceptional, welcoming, professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure our experience was seamless. We had a party of eight and coordinated ahead of time, and the team could not have been more accommodating. Everything was handled with ease, grace, and a level of organization that made the entire evening feel effortless. We ordered everything family-style, and every single dish was a hit. The food was delicious, beautifully prepared, and perfect for sharing. so much so that everyone at the table was raving about it throughout the night. The drinks were just as impressive, well-crafted, balanced, and thoughtfully executed. What really stood out was the staff Manifair and Yooha's ability to manage a larger group without ever making us feel rushed or overlooked. They anticipated our needs, kept everything flowing smoothly, and maintained a warm, upbeat energy the entire time. You can tell this is a team that truly takes pride in what they do.

We decided to try the new upscale spot, Stereo41, in downtown Walnut Creek for lunch this Sunday and overall, we were impressed by the food and ambiance! The cuisine is interesting fusion of Mediterranean and Japanese. The restaurant has a beautiful, upscale ambiance, and we were seated immediately, which was a huge plus for a Sunday lunch. The Food (A definite 5/5!) The kitchen here is truly doing amazing work. * Appetizer: Stereo Mezze Platter - Fantastic! This came with two baskets of pita and three main dips, plus a great combination of pickled and fresh veggies/olives. We were all hungry, and this dish delivered. Highly recommend starting here! * Mains: We ordered the Lamb Kofta Bowl and the Slow Cooked Beef. Both were served over amazing rice with Japanese cucumber and fresh leaves. * The Lamb Kofta was incredibly tasty and sumptuous. * The Slow Cooked Beef was very tender and flavorful. Areas for Improvement (Service & Menu) While the food was perfect, I do feel they could elevate the customer experience with a few tweaks: 1. Customer Service: The staff was unfortunately not very friendly. A slightly warmer welcome and friendlier service would significantly improve the overall dining experience. 2. Menu Variety: We would definitely recommend this place for adults. However, they might need to add a few more dishes to their menu to better cater to families with kiddos. The Verdict: If Stereo41 can get a tad bit friendlier and add a couple of family-friendly options, this place is absolutely a five-star gem. Go for the delicious Mediterranean food and beautiful setting! read more

Walnut Creek... you are not ready for this one! Stereo 41 just opened and I'm already planning my next five visits. Add this to my rotation immediately, the restaurants in WC hate to see me coming! We were invited to the soft opening and from the moment I walked in, the vibe was vibing. Velvet walls, graffiti-style art, moody lighting, it's giving hip, modern, and effortlessly cool without trying too hard. And then the DJ starts playing the perfect soundtrack... like okayyy, ambiance, I see you. 10/10 on the energy. Drinks: Amazing. Like the type of drinks that make you forget you swore you were "only having one tonight." Balanced, flavorful, dangerously smooth. Starters: Hamachi tostada, Listen LINDA. LISTEN. This hamachi melted in my mouth so beautifully I almost shed a tear. Buttery, bright, perfect. Halloumi cheese, Delicious. I'm a grilled halloumi girl and they delivered. Potatoes, Crispy, flavorful, addictive. I would like a bucket for takeout, thanks. Mains: Short Rib, I don't eat meat (pescatarian life), but everyone else at the table went SILENT when this came out. Fall-apart tender on top of Middle Eastern bread that soaks up all the juices... it smelled incredible even from my pescatarian bubble. Whole Chicken, looked Perfectly seasoned, juicy, crispy and honestly looked like something you'd see on a cooking show finale. Every main comes with a full platter of sides: Middle Eastern bread, hummus, spreads, olives, dips, and OMG the mashed chickpea soufflé dish?? What was that? Why was it so good? Why am I still thinking about it? I'd eat a whole bowl as a standalone entrée. Dessert: The matcha tres leches deserves its own paragraph, its own award, maybe its own zip code. I didn't want to share. I'm STILL not over it. This is the dessert that ruins other desserts for you. Service: The owners were incredibly friendly, like genuinely proud of their menu, excited to share the story, and took time to visit every table. They explained each dish, checked in constantly, and made the whole experience feel special. You can tell they care. Stereo 41 is officially in my Walnut Creek rotation! Amazing food with a middle eastern and Japanese fusion, gorgeous space, the perfect DJ set, and a menu that hits every category from comfort to creativity. If you see me camped out at the bar with another matcha tres leches... mind ya business! Or order one and join me. ‍ read more

I guess this is the new and hot spot in Walnut Creek since I keep seeing ppl post about it on my IG feed. My girls and I decided to go here for a Friendsgiving dinner on a Monday night. I thought it may be a lil slower (which it was according to the staff) but I thought it was a good amount of guest for a Monday night. It was 5 of us and our waitress recommended us to get 2 apps, 1 lammet sofra, and 1 kushiyaki to share. Which I really appreciated because I didn't feel like she was trying to ring our bill up. We ordered the marinated mussels, the hamachi tostada, the mezze platter, togarashi chicken, and the slow cooked barramundi. I recently gave up liquor so I ordered a sour candy mocktail ... OMG- so good!! It was refreshing and had the right balance of sweetness and sourness. I My girl ordered the Dubai Alexander and she said it's one of the best cocktail she's ever had (I was so tempted to try for real) So the minus star is due to our mezze platter that never came out. The mussels and tostada came out quick, but our main took a while to come out. So we were waiting for a while in between the app and main. I am sure because it's a new restaurant so they are still ironing out the kinks. I wish I could give half stars, so I can give them a 4.5, is because everything we ordered was DELISH. I highly recommend the tosatada, so much flavor and so fresh. I also recommended the chicken. It is a great portion to share and it was also very tender and juicy. It was quite pricey but worth it because the chicken was huge (like it was on steroids) and it came with sides. As for the music, I thought it was going to be loud but it wasn't at all, we didn't have to yell across the table lol. And they were playing some really good music. I forgot what kind exactly but I knew it was a vibey music. I will most definitely come back, again and again. read more

Had a chance to try a few different dishes here. The hamachi tostada stood out in a great way. The presentation is very nice. It tastes like a melting pot of different flavors and textures that work together very well. I would definitely recommend trying this. The chicken wrap comes in a huge portion and is delicious. It's served with cucumber and a small salad along with an harissa chili sauce. The sour candy non-alcoholic cocktail is delicious but a little pricey at $13 for a mocktail. The baklava was very tasty although the pistachio layer was a bit hard (maybe from being chilled?) they also serve Buddha Beer for $6 and you can add a well shot for another $6 which is a great deal. The space is large with both in door and outdoor seating options. It seems like they may have some brunch and possibly day party vibes on the weekend if that's your thing or not. All in all a good visit. I'll be happy to come back and try some more items. read more

I felt that because of this, their staffing was light, so I waited a bit to get noticed and seated. But once I sat down, I felt like I stepped into a mini vacation. The food? It was delicious! The Hamachi Tostada was AMAZING! Two of these and you'll be full. The flavor blend of spices and sauces used plus the avocado and top quality Hamachi? I would come back just for this dish! Kudos to the chef! The chicken wrap was my main entree and the chicken was SO tender and plentiful, and the mild harrissa spread that comes with it is so unique, taaty and a lovely touch. I kept adding it to every bite. I want to come back to try their other dishes. Will definitely be back! read more
