We'd heard good things about the food, and both dishes were tasty with pretty good portion sizes for the price. The coffee was average though.

My biggest complaint was about the wait time to get a table for two on a farmers market Sunday. I see the reason why they were busy but we were quoted 20-30 mts and got seated an hour later! We'll definitely come back (need to try the French toast and the waffles) but plan better next time I guess.

Wow -- 15 years as a loyal customer and now I have to walk away…read more I've been with this company for 15 years, and for most of that time their service was excellent. Unfortunately, something has changed, and the quality has dropped dramatically. The customer service specialist, Jessica, was very rude on the phone when I tried to explain the ongoing problems I've been having with leaking tubes and forgotten keys. Even worse, it turns out I haven't been getting proper softener bypass because of corrosion. Instead of standing behind their system, they're blaming city water and want to charge me a minimum of $200 to replace the pipes. Meanwhile, I'm already paying $70 every month for service that's only performed every other month. This level of arrogance after 15 years of loyalty is incredibly disappointing. It feels like they have enough customers now and simply don't care about keeping the long-term ones. Very sad to have to say goodbye, but I can't continue with this kind of service.

They don't communicate well regarding deliveries or account status, was happy…read morewith service at first but once contract is up going back to ReadyRefresh which has an app, month to month and the delivery driver will call you with any issues. Also I had a water softener installed by them, my water pressure noticeably kept getting worse just months after installation until I had near zero pressure within 90 days. I found the issue to be they installed a 1 micron carbon filter which should only be used as a stage 2 or 3 filter, never stage 1. After installing a Pentair 50-pre/ 5-post micron filter water pressures been fine ever since. If I wasn't handy around the house I could've spent hundreds of dollars having a technician come out to troubleshoot the system. (Keep in mind sales rep said filters should last ~12mnths, which is correct if they installed proper type) will never know if that was or was not intentional.

Yelp helped me find Denica's Real Food Kitchen and it was a delightful experience. From Liliana's recommendation of the Chorizo Breakfast Tostadas which were DELICIOUS and exactly the sort of unique item for which I was looking, to Server Wilmer rapidly delivering the superb food outside to me, who was also gracious enough to bring me out some water and additional salsa, which I didn't realize were available inside as "self-serve," yet he didn't bat an eye. He was great to follow up a few times as well. The chow had fresh sliced avocado, and tomatoes with perfectly cooked eggs on top of crispy tostada-style & chorizo with excellent flavor. Well done!

I almost forgot we had to order first before sitting down lol. I have been on a French Toast kick recently, looking for the best French Toast in the bay. This Ube Stuffed French Toast might have a spot in the top 5. I scarfed this down in like... 10 minutes but it was so good. Ube custard wasn't overwhelming. None of this was overwhelmingly sweet even though it presents itself like a dessert. I have a sweet tooth tho so take that with a grain of salt lol. I only used a little bit of syrup but could've easily went without it. The banana in the middle was perfectly ripe and gave a nice relief of sweet freshness. Toast was thick brioche toast so not the lil flimsy slices of bread. Because this was $22 + tax and tip... I will try to recreate this at home. Their napkins had a nice message on it! Didn't remember seeing that the last time I was at a Denica's. They also have what looks like a kid area with toys? Kid table? Idk I saw it in the corner of my eye but I thought that was cool too. I had a bite of the kalua pork hash and * chefs kiss I would've been happy to order that. My lady really enjoyed the cookie butter latte as well. Will happily come back soon.

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing and did not live up to what I had hoped for. The service was mediocre at best. Our waitress was not very attentive, and we constantly had to ask for things that should have been brought to our table without having to remind her. We asked for condiments, and she forgot. We asked for napkins, and she forgot those as well. The restaurant was not even that busy, so there really wasn't a good reason for us to feel overlooked. Oh she still thinks she deserved a big tip and charged it to our bill. After pur food was in correct 3 plates. When it comes to the food, it was just okay. Nothing about the experience really stood out or made me feel like this was a place worth the anticipation, especially for a birthday celebration. As a customer, I believe the overall experience should be about more than just serving food. It should be about making guests feel welcomed, valued, and taken care of, especially when they choose your restaurant for a special occasion. Unfortunately, that was not the experience we had. I hope the owners take this review seriously and invest more time in training their staff to be attentive, proactive, and genuinely focused on customer service. A little more attention to detail and better hospitality could make a huge difference. It's disappointing when you look forward to trying a place for so long, only to leave feeling underwhelmed. I truly hope management takes this feedback as an opportunity to improve, because good food is important, but good service is what makes customers want to come back. Also they they said they do not do anything special for birthdays

The inside has a very open-concept, modern vibe that feels clean, comfortable, and welcoming. There's a good amount of seating indoors, along with some outdoor seating and umbrellas if you want to enjoy the nice weather. The food and drink menu is fairly extensive, and prices are on the moderate side, so it's worth taking a look at all of your options to find something that fits your taste and appetite. Everything I've tried so far has been tasty, satisfying, and filling. If you're dining in and order their house drip coffee, they provide a coffee mug, and the coffee is self-serve along with the available extras. If you decide to take your drip coffee to go, just keep in mind that they only offer one size of to-go cup, and it's not particularly large. If you prefer a bigger cup of coffee, you may be a little disappointed. The staff have always been friendly, welcoming, and professional during my visits. With all of the other options available in Livermore, this is definitely a place worth checking out if you're looking for a good spot downtown to grab some food and a drink.

The potatoes came severely under cooked and unseasoned. And were mostly a plate of sautéed vegetables and less potatoes. The last visit our server was basically ignoring our table. We had to pull other staff members in order to get service. When asking for our check it took 10-15 minutes before they brought it and another 10 before they came with the machine so we could pay. Needless to say I was a little salty about that. Today, however, my faith in Bills has been restored. The wait time was wasn't long and the staff attentive and friendly.

My family and I ended up here randomly today (Saturday) after doing a yelp search for lunch. We arrived and it was BUSYYYY, but the wait time was said to be 11-20 minutes. So we decided to wait. Wait time ended up being OVER 30 minutes, but IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT. We almost decided to just walk right over to Kinders, after waiting 30 minutes. But we thought "wth, we've waited this long, let's just wait a bit longer". Finally after almost 40 minutes, we were seated inside. There is no patio seating here and the venue is really small. I wouldn't recommend for groups over 4-5 at the pleasant hill location unless you call to make a reservation in advanced. Though I'm not sure if they take reservations. Anyway, we ordered the following. Kids pancake and fruit. Kids fried chicken & fries + a side of extra crispy bacon. Both kids meals came with an apple juice. Crab Benedict. Chicken and wafffles. Ube pancakes Hot chocolate Thai Iced Tea & an alcohol beverage. The something sour. Can't remember the name but had grapefruit, soju, tajin rim. Damn near EVERYTHING was delicious!! We loved it alllll. Minus the hot chocolate. My kids did not like it, but it wasn't bad. Just not a favorite. On top of the food being yummy! It's all so decently priced. For everything mentioned above, our bill came out to $150. Which to me, in today's world, for 4 people, all of that?! Is not bad at all. I spend more on a less when grocery shopping for two days worth of groceries. We WILL be visiting again!

Came here to celebrate a joint birthday, and I leave with full conviction that Commis will remain one of the best dining experiences I've ever had start to finish. The cocktails are all $21, which is honestly a decent price given a restaurant of this magnitude. They're all superb too. Commis has one of the better martinis and old fashioneds I've tried in recent memory, and the garnishes are all very thoughtful. The food is every bit delectable as it is a visual spectacle. Highlights included the tapioca dumpling, encased in the most glossy, chewy wrapper, the oyster, the pièce de résistance egg IFYKYK, and the savory financier. The main courses left a bit to be desired; the pork belly, while tasty, was an otherwise unremarkable slab of sumptuous pork. The desserts were also stunning, but if I had to nitpick, the first dessert course came with a viscous sauce atop the sorbet, somewhat reminiscent in flavor of children's grape Motrin. Not quite a fan. Even with these very minor gripes, Commis shines as the apex of Bay Area fine-dining establishments. Would love to return for their more affordable bar prix fixe.
