Over cooked pork steak, bbq sweet greens, Mac and gritty cheese, rock fishy fish
Larry D.

We had the fried chicken Fried fish Mac and cheese Greens Whatever the rice is Food was not good at all. Received our meals for the 4 of us. We ordered 3 of the sweet bbq greens. When our food was delivered...no greens. They acted as if we hadn't ordered the greens. They did check the ticket to see what was ordered. We were a fan of none of it. They use too much sugar in their ingredients. The pork was good flavored, but was over cooked. The chicken was crispy but under cooked and too sweet. The Mac and cheese was gritty. The fish was too fishy. I've never had rock fish and never will again. The greens seemed to have baby rays in it. The spicey flavor. And I'm not sure what hard crunch was in the rice. But it was bland. They use "southern food" to classify the cuisine. It's cosplaying soulfood with heavy hints of bougie jolliebee. The decor and design of the restaurant is nice. Staff were pretty non existent. I counted 5 people there and 6 by the time we left. They may be 1 of 1 but we are 1 and done.

French toast
Esmeralda R.

Overall a cutesy spot to stop by for brunch. Our food took a really long time to come out and the table that sat down after us got their food first. Staff was apologetic. Besides that our food was good. We ordered the pickle plate expecting pickles but the staff was kind enough to remove it from our table. Nice spot for a girls day.

Hamachi Tostada: "Tuna" [sic], avocado, umami mayo & salsa "matcha" [sic], crispy tostada ($14 each) - MUST GET!
Cherylynn N.

4.5 STARS I've been trying to explore more of the East Bay so next up: The Nut. Following that, The D (Danville), and The Moan (San Ramon). Ok, in all seriousness - from the team behind World Famous HotBoys Chicken and Lita, I was really impressed with Stereo41's food....for a "vibey" place. Cuz, IMHO...vibey places usually have mid food. While we had rezzies for Sunday dinner, it seemed like one wasn't needed because we were the only ones there. Maybe they're better known for their nightlife and it gets poppin' later at night when there's a DJ. M E N U In Mid-August 2026, they transitioned from Middle Eastern cuisine with Japanese influences to a Modern Southern & Creole concept. Note: We initially received a mismatched brunch and dinner menu with their old pricing which was replaced with a new dinner one with increased prices. Full bar. F O O D * Hamachi Tostada w/ yellowtail, avocado, umami mayo & salsa macha, crispy tostada ($14 each) A signature item from their original concept/menu, this is a must order! Great contrasting flavors and textures, the hamachi was fresh and buttery with a creamy, smoky kick from the accompaniments. * Short Rib Pepper Pot w/ 8 oz. Beef Short Rib w/ sauce of peppers, herbs ($34) Rich, meltingly tender short ribs with a deeply savory sauce and a gentle kick of heat. Teeth are optional! * Southern Fried Chicken w/ hot honey, melted butter (4 pc - $32) Incredibly juicy and tender with a crackly, crunchy batter. Flavorful but not overly salty, tho I wish there was more hot honey for a sweet heat. Accompanying hot sauce was too mild. * SIDES -- Grits: North Carolina stone ground grits w/ hot sauce, lemon ($10) - For the small portion, $3 to add cheese?! So, we didn't. Deliciously thick and creamy with a savory sweetness and hit of lemon for acid. SO good with the short ribs. -- Collards w/ ham hock, onion, chilis ($12) Highly recommended by our server....UGH, this was hella bomb! Simmered with ham hocks and bacon fat, the collards were tender and earthy...swimming in an addictively rich, soulful, and tangy broth. Gripe: Sides are advertised as "family-style" but we found ourselves rationing as if we're in a famine. They're def meant for one person. S E R V I C E Not the most welcoming reception from the co-owner/manager (?) but things quickly turned around when our server, Genesis arrived to our table. She's so warm and personable with such positive vibes. Love her! We were the only ones there so food service was fast. A M B I A N C E Trendy and swanky with a beautiful marble bar, plushy horseshoe-shaped booths, hi-fi listening lounge, DJ booth, and moody lighting. Great place for GNO or a hot date. Front patio is covered from the elements with lush greenery and colorful mural. I know we had an early 5:15 pm dinner but there was no music on the patio, so the vibe felt more like eating in a library. Overall, we really enjoyed Stereo41's Southern & Creole Cuisine with a modern flair and fine dining techniques. Too bad, I can't speak for their nightlife cuz this geriatric millennial is knocked out before it even begins.

Beet salad was bomb!
Susan N.

Meh...this place was hit and miss. Hit: fried chicken, pork chop, hamachi tostada, even though it was overpriced and beet salad! Miss: everything else... Prices are really high for some dinky portions that you would be done eating in literally 2 1/2 bites. Fried chicken was outstanding, nice and hot. Pork chop was juicy with a delicious sauce, hibachi tostadas were yummy, but just a bit overpriced, and the beet salad was top-notch! Creamy and fresh. Potato salad was hard and tasted like it was from Costco, mac & cheese was watery. Collard greens were meh. Corn bread was just a rip off. Don't think I'd come again.

Hokkaido scallops, marinated olives and potato tempura in the back
Jenice T.

What. A. Vibe. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by walls of records, an open kitchen, plush velvet furniture, and, of course, a disco ball. I've been here twice now, once for happy hour and once for dinner. I wasn't a fan of happy hour only being available on the patio. Since it was summer, I think most people would've preferred the AC over 90-degree heat. My dinner experience, however, was much better. My friend and I were seated inside and ordered the cucumber salad, sweet potato tempura, and Hokkaido scallops. For drinks, we had the Strawberry Paloma and the Calypso, which came with a fiery shot of rum served inside a lime. Our server, Priscilla, started us off with complimentary marinated olives. The staff was attentive and helpful throughout the meal. The cucumber salad was savory and refreshing. The sweet potato tempura had an incredibly crispy exterior with a slightly candied crunch. It was delicious. The Hokkaido scallops, served on a tostada with a savory sauce underneath, were another standout. To my surprise, the restaurant transforms into more of a club after 9 p.m. We wrapped up our 7 p.m. reservation around 10, just as the DJ started and the party crowd rolled in. I'd definitely come back for dinner, or stop by later in the evening for drinks and dancing with friends.

Braised Citrus Grilled Chicken Bowl & Grilled Filet Skewer
Chassidy T.

Ambiance: First time at Stereo61 -- initial thoughts were the vibes are super cute for a girls night! But also cute for a date, but it does get really loud as it slowly turns into a club / bar after dinner. Food and their respective rating: 5/5 Hamachi Tostada: amazing, i may dream about it because of how delicious it was. Loved the fresh ingredients and how the tostada kept its structure each bite. 3/5 Grilled Filet Skewers: good, but, would I get it again? Maybe not unless I were to share it with someone.. It was pretty heavy for me. 4/5 Tiramisu: very good, but also again I was full. But i loved the texture and the fact that it didn't taste like your average tiramisu. The nuts brought great texture, there was definitely hints of liquor in there as well. I would order again & share with a friend Service: Lastly our waitress was great! She was very friendly as she tended to us and all the other tables seated outside. Overall: I would come back here again, will bring the girliepops next time!

I love Stereo41. It is a great place for dinner, drinks and lounging around. The food is unique and the music after 9pm rotates nightly. I have been here twice now and the crowd is always classy and dj plays excellent music that keeps it fun and lively. We have tried almost everything on the menu at dinner and they are all so delicious! My favorites are the hamachi, lamb chop, risotto,beef skewers and hummus. Next I have to try the dessert and lunch!

MeChelle C.

This place is a whole vibe. Great for date night or girls night. I love the music that spins while having dinner. I celebrated my birthday here. Service was great as well, she was playful & professional. I love the elevated southern /soul food. I always get the oysters app & seafood tostada. The cocktails are always on point & perfectly balanced. The patio is beautiful. The booths are comfortable. I love the disco ball. The nightlife after dinner gets fun too! Even the hallway to the bathroom is insta worthy. Just Goooooo

Danika Z.

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.

Seafood Stew - Bouillabaisse - 10/10
Beatris D.

Quite honestly the best service, vibes and food in a long time. Zajack was super fun and gave great drink and food recommendations. Food was 10/10. The place was beautiful. My new favorite restaurant. Can't wait to return.

Sandy L.

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.

Cauliflower (3.5/5)
Angel S.

I enjoyed my visit here. I love the vibe. Good ambiance, good music, good service, and, above all, good food. While you're looking at $25 for a main, price is justified by generous portions and each dish is shareable. We enjoyed our food while listening to 90s slow jams and r&b. The cornbread was fantastic. I also recommend the fried chicken, nicely crispy and the glaze was not too thick. Short rib was perfectly tender, although seems too soupy on the sauce. Definitely a good addition to the Walnut Creek dining scene.

elite oysters
Darwin P.

the Stereo41 in Walnut Creek could best be described as an elite restaurant that offers a refreshing, beautiful menu that promises to deliver good flavors we ordered oysters, chicken wrap and dessert. all these dishes were beautiful, delicious and delivered. the inside ambiance is fine, the staff are welcoming and you get a true experience of Walnut Creek

Planning to have a dinner here. are kids allowed?

Yes. While I didn't see isn't kids there while I was there, children would be welcome. I would say it's definitely more of an adult space. Suggest you call and ask.

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.

I really love the thought behind their menu. There's such a diverse selection for both vegans and non-vegans, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, so everyone can come together and actually have plenty of options. We ordered some of the same food we loved the first time and also tried the pizza this time. Once again, everything was amazing! And having vegan desserts to choose from just makes it even better.

Of all places, I'm surprised the Bay Area doesn't have waaaaaay more plant-based dining, and I welcome any suggestions from my fellow Yelpers on spots I may have missed! So when I learned of Sipeos, featuring a plant-based Mediterranean menu, I immediately bookmarked it, and this weekend we tried it out. To be clear, since the term 'plant-based' gets muddled a lot these days, Sipeos is a vegetarian, not strictly vegan restaurant. However, they do have fully vegan options, and other selections can be modified to be vegan - yay for vegan cheese! We perused the menu, and ordered a couple of drinks, and the Under the Tuscan Sun pizza to share: mozzarella, arugula, mushrooms, and beans. Pretty tasty, but I do wish there was less dough. Props for a 100% seed oil-free menu! Their beverage program promotes low and no-alcohol cocktails, wines, and beers. Not my jam, but I understand the intention, and that's what the cool kids are into these days. It's also odd to me that mocktails are priced the same as actual cocktails, and not just here, I've noticed this trend at other places as well. But if you want to spend $14 for juice, who am I to argue? Service was good, and the ambiance was nice. May return at some point.

If you're driving, there's a parking lot shared with the neighboring office buildings, and this is the one downer: it isn't free. The lot runs on Metropolis Parking, so you'll need to create an account since it's automated and tracks your license plate. Scan the QR code at the register to validate one free hour. Otherwise it's $2.50 an hour plus a $1.50 service fee. We stayed 1 hour and 44 minutes and paid $4 after the complementary hour, so it's not terrible, just a hassle to set up. The ambiance is my favorite part. It's entirely outdoors, but there's plenty of shade. We went on a Sunday with football on, and once the Niners game started they put it on all the TVs and turned the game audio on too. The space is split into three distinct areas: an adults-only deck that's slightly elevated, a family and kids section along the outer fence, and a main middle area open to everyone. It's family and dog friendly, and both times we've visited there have been lots of kids, so keep that in mind if you want a more adult environment. Since it's strictly outdoors, a rainy or cold day could be a tough time to visit, but when the weather is nice it's a great place to grab a beer, a bite, and some sports. Ordering is flexible. You can order at the main counter, or scan the unique QR code at your table, order from your phone, and they'll bring everything right to you. My wife and I each had a different hazy IPA and both were good, and the overall beer selection is nice. On the food side, the burgers are above average but not spectacular. The fries were the better side: crispy and well seasoned with a spice blend. The Oreo and brownie cheesecake was a hit, and my wife and son devoured it. Prices are reasonable for the area, and the food and beer both hold up for what you pay. Overall, it's a fun, laid-back spot for families, dog owners, and sports fans, with a great setup. Just plan for the parking process.

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.
