    Chicken risotto
    Bikashita S.

    Love this place! The food is fresh and delicious, and service is always top notch. Highly recommended.

    Beautiful place to sit outside and people watch on Main St! Hubby and I came for lunch on a quiet Wednesday afternoon and left feeling glass half full. I weirdly notice plates whenever I visit restaurants and I can confirm Tri Valley Bistro has really nice plates :P And I love the blue theme they got going on! We had complimentary bread and butter while we waited for our food :) Eggs Benedict ($20): Choice of smoked salmon, bacon, or portobello mushroom. Pricey for what you get but it hit the spot! I thought it was so funny that each section of my plate wasn't touching each other LOL like my fruit huddled in one corner, the (very chunky) hash browns huddled next to the ketchup, and my eggs benny dominated the plate. The hollandaise was superb. Fettuccine Prawns ($28): Prawns were thicc and paired well with the white wine Alfredo sauce. One second the pasta was there and the next it was gone. Coffee-wise they only offer drip coffee so no espresso here unfortunately. I will be back to try their dinner menu and sit outside on a warm summer evening!

    Mushroom ravioli

    This place is great! My experience was wonderful. Big Thanks to Corey, our waiter, he provided excellent service and was friendly and courteous during our meal. My recommendation is mushroom ravioli, it's absolutely delicious!

    Peach Violette Gin Sour
    Jessica M.

    Right in the middle of Downtown Pleasanton, it is at a perfect location for a dinner during the holidays. The service was great and the staff was welcoming. They easily accommodated a group of 10 for a reservation on a Thursday evening, but I am sure on a busy weekend it would be hard to get in without a reservation as it is a smaller space. The appetizers were yummy and a wide variety. Warm artichoke bruschetta and tempura shrimps were my favorite. The bruschetta was the perfect amount of flavoring and texture was not runny, the arugula and cherry tomatoes were a good touch to add a balance. The tempura shrimp was crunchy and not the usual japanese style, which made it unique and a good twist. My main meal was the ribeye steak and I ordered medium rare and unfortunately, my plate was very undercooked. A colleague of mine also had the same order and hers looked just right. The staff was very understanding and took my order back, it did get cooked a little more but still very rare. For dessert, ferrero rocher chocolate cake was decent, but more of a chocolate mousse cake. The key lime pie was very tart. The drinks we ordered were peach violette gin sour and pompei martini, both of which were unique and a solid addition to the entire meal. Great environment and prime location. Food was good and if I do go back I definitely want to try the chicken risotto

    Tri Valley Breakfast Plate

    Nice small outside front patio with good service. The breakfast plate was simple, nothing noteworthy. The bacon hash was ok. Plenty of bacon and sausage but seemed to lack flavor balance- maybe some onions and garlic would have helped. Enjoyed the side fresh fruit but could have been cut a bit smaller.

    We casually stumbled upon this place after our evening stroll down candy cane lane which was just around the corner of main Street. We chose this after viewing their menu as we passed by. This is our first time eating out at a restaurant since having our first kid. And there was plenty of patio seating and room for our stroller. The twinkly Christmas lights and space heaters were really adding to the holiday spirit. We ordered the farro salad and fettuccine Alfredo to share. The salad was good. Fresh. The Alfredo was good too. It wasn't overly savory or too cheesy and heavy like most chain restaurant pastas might taste like. Also the shrimp/prawns were cooked perfectly and VERY generous which I appreciated. I also had a Shirley temple. I just got so used to not drinking alcohol anymore since before trying getting pregnant. And they used the good cherries, NOT the maraschinos. Would definitely come back. The food was good . The prices were fair. The wait staff was very attentive and checked up on us a few times even when we were the only guests eating outside on the patio. The staff even changed the space heater gas tank for us which helped keep us to stay warm because it WAS chilly outside.

    Crunchy French Toast
    Lily D.

    I came here thinking this brunch spot would be great due to the reviews. I have passed by this place many times and it looked like people were enjoying themselves. The restaurant was packed and had a cute atmosphere. I appreciate the nice service There is even outside patio seating for people watching. You can't go wrong with complimentary bread, which was a nice for them to offer while waiting for my food. While the menu offered typical items you would see at a standard American diner, I found the brunch menu to be mediocre. The food was okay, but I was not a fan of the presentation of other dishes. I decided to settle for the Crunchy French toast. I thought I'd give it a 4/5 because it was something different from the menu. I liked the whipped mascarpone cheese topping with fruit on the side. Overall, delicious and crunchy hence the name. The combination between cereal and French toast is genius. Probably better than standard French toast I have had.

    Tri-valley Bistro seemed like a somewhat upscale place when we first ate there years ago. We revisited recently and we're not so impressed this time. I had a salmon dish, which was underwhelming, and The Wife's chicken was merely adequate. It wasn't bad, just Melo's level, for a much higher price. We love eating along Main Street, and visiting other stores nearby, but we likely won't be stopping in here again.

    I had the bacon hash with over easy eggs, he had french toast
    Dianna P.

    Came here on a Saturday because my husband was craving french toast. We walked in with no reservations but were able to be seated and served quickly. Bread and butter is complimentary, bread was simple but it was soft and warm. For our appetizer we ordered arancini, they were crispy outside and creamy and rich inside. I would order again. I ordered bacon hash with over easy eggs and my husband had the french toast. My bacon hash tastes how you would expect, lots of big pieces of bacon and sausages too! The french toast was very crunchy-it reminded me of cinnamon toast crunch cereal (yum!).

    Penne curry pasta with prawns

    We don't live in the area, but throughout the years whenever we visit Pleasanton, we love coming to this place for lunch. The food never disappoints: fresh ingredients with great flavor. Everything's so well cooked. Friendly staff too! Definitely will be back again and again.

    Presentation was unappetizing. Salad was slimy. Salmon was good but the rest was not. Hadn't been there for a while. I won't go back.

Since it was our first time, I played it safe and had ceased salad with added grilled chicken. Portion size was enough for two people. Overall, I would give the food a good rating. Server (Diego) was also good!

We ended up celebrating my birthday a little late here, and it was absolutely worth it. The restaurant itself is beautiful--my friend took so many great photos. It has very romantic vibes, but I was also surprised by how many larger groups were dining there, like work teams out for dinner. There are so many photo-worthy spots throughout the space. Now, let's talk about the food. I started with a glass of Pinot Noir. The truffle fries had great flavor, though they could've been cooked a bit longer. That said, the Caesar salad was incredible. It's so hard to find a restaurant with a truly good Caesar dressing, and this one nailed it. I'm literally craving it as I write this. We split it as an appetizer, and it's a generous portion--if you order it on your own, definitely add chicken or salmon. For our mains, my friend ordered the blackened salmon and I had the lamb chops. The truffle purée and potatoes that came with the lamb were a bit too salty for my taste, but the lamb itself was cooked absolutely perfectly. The blackened salmon was also a hit--no misses there. We were both very happy with our dishes. We finished with the molten cake, and I asked nicely if they could add raspberries and almonds, which they happily accommodated. Overall, this place still deserves five stars. There were a few minor things I would personally tweak, but we'd absolutely come back to try more dishes. That Caesar salad, though? I'm ordering it again--no question. Definitely check this place out!
