We were about the third customer when we arrived but by the time we left the place was packed - and again, there was one waitress. No bus boy, no cashier, just her. Don't get me wrong, the young lady was doing her best, and always with a smile and warm greeting for those walking in, but it was very clear she needed help. As we were leaving an older gentleman picked up a bin and started bussing tables. Clearly, they need two servers and a bus boy for the lunch rush. It is like that most times I am there. The food is great, well worth a visit.

Lafayette is such a gem of a place. While in the area, we stopped at this local spot on a beautiful…read more(and hot) day. We opted to not sit outside, rather inside right by the exterior seating to still get the vibes but also some AC. I love places like Lafayette where all the businesses support each other and help each other grow. Their brews on tap are mostly all local, and we grabbed some Pilsners sourced from Lafayette's new brewery, Western Flyer. So fresh and crisp. Can't wait to also check that spot out. Food-wise, we came in mid-afternoon and grabbed a Kale Pancetta salad (they pre-split the salad for us on two plates which was so nice), and for the mains, we both grabbed the Tuna Melt with fries. The salad was delicious. I'm def a tuna melt girly, and I loved the addition of the ciabatta (?) as the bread option, so fresh as well. This tuna melt comes with grapes fyi, and a few other elements mixed in. I absolutely loved it, just sharing though as I know how some tuna stans like their tuna :) This spot is clean, spacious, and perfectly situated in walking distance downtown. Would love to come back for brunch with a group of friends, or even again during the upcoming Lafayette Art & Wine Fest. Food is good, service is quick and friendly, and vibes are right. Metered parking located across the street.

I was looking for a brunch place in Walnut Creek and found The Hangout. After entering, I was…read morepleasantly surprised to see that it was Brunch + Asian Fusion. There were so many items that I wanted to try, but I only had one stomach. Came here on a Thursday morning and the restaurant was operating at around 20% capacity. The food: Garlic Noodle with Crispy Chicken - Garlic Noodles were tasty. The Crispy Chicken had really nice, almost tempura like batter. Wish it had a little sauce or something to bring it all together. Berry Lover Toast - Two large pieces of French Toast with a blueberry based inside, topped with a ton of stuff including sliced almonds, corn flakes, powdered sugar, sliced grapes and some thinly sliced oranges. There's a lot going on here. I did like the strawberry preserves as a topper - it seemed homemade and it wasn't too sweet. I didn't try any of my friend's Country Potatoes, but they looked legit. Good service and plenty of nearby parking. Properly named, as this is a good place to Hangout!

The spicy rigatoni was good, but I've had a lot of spicy rigatoni dishes, so my expectations are pretty high. For me, it was missing some of the spice and depth of flavor I was hoping for. The chicken Milanese was probably my favorite dish. The chicken was very thin, and the arugula and lemon are always an amazing pairing. Overall, the food is very good, but in my opinion, some dishes aren't quite as good as the price they're charging.

Love the outdoor seating and the weather was perfect!! It did get a little loud once the place filled up, but overall it was such the perfect setting! One of us enjoyed the special (fish and chips, which was a HUGE portion! and the "chips" were cooked perfectly!) the other two of us had the steak salad! Which was so delicious, I'm still thinking about it, a week later! We also shared two cookies (oatmeal and the chocolate crunch) which were equally enjoyable! I will not hesitate to visit again and maybe try something else off the menu, but that darned salad has a special place in my heart!!

So we sat in the patio which had fans and nice plants which shaded well. Felt like sitting a garden and was cool. However when walked through the restaurant to the patio it was almost all empty and plenty of tables so kinda odd. Service was okay, kinda slower than I expected. Poor server also spilled water all over me but I was thankfully wearing shorts so it was okay. Food was great though! We ordered a Sedona chicken sandwich with garlic fries and chicken picatta. Sandwich was kinda like a grilled chicken burger. The thicken breast was moist and fries were crispy and tasty. Chicken picatta was delicious and perfectly mixed with mashed potatoes, spinach, capers. The chicken wasn't dry. Pear martini was the best. I would come here just for this drink. I think they home make the syrup. Old fashioned was good but a little sweet.

It's all very good, but a refresh is truly needed. Service was mixed, and that's a consistent problem. I've had both exceptional and poor service. In speaking with friends, their experiences are similar. I'm unsure if they are understaffed, or if staff are asked to cover too many tables. In sum, I'm a fan, it's a great place, but service is uneven.
