“We went to La Veranda on Sunday, June 15 2025 for a father’s day brunch.
First a word about Clayton CA. This is an older town in the east bay, next to Concord and Walnut Creek. This is a town that hung on tenaciously to its small town charm and looks very much the way it did fifty years ago. They still have some wooden sidewalks, a saloon or two, a lovely tree shaded park where they hold small summer concerts. It has a small central downtown and feels very much like the old fashioned small town that it is. People are friendly and relaxed; traffic has been cleverly engineered out. This restaurant with its wooden entry steps fits right in. It has a veranda with outdoor tables along the side of the restaurant as well as a casual covered patio for outdoor dining.
Upon entering we could see a big square dining room to our right and to our left was the other smaller rectangular dining room. We were greeted promptly and cordially and taken to our table in the room to our left. It was filled with black tables and chairs, the wall were tan and the ceiling tiles were a pleasant burnt red. The restaurant is surrounded by trees and bushes so the view from the many windows made us feel as though we were in an arboretum. The table was neatly set with two forks; a butter knife and side plate per seat as well as perfectly folded white linen pyramid napkin folds. Very quickly an attendant arrived to get us waters, coffee or tea. Shortly after that, our waiter Yousef appeared and took our orders. We had some substitutions and he took it all in stride. We ordered three eggs benedicts and food appeared in a very short time. The eggs were perfectly poached with firm whites and a hint of white vinegar and the yolks were perfectly runny. The muffins underneath were lightly toasted and easy to cut with a butter knife. I have been making fresh hollandaise for years in restaurants and at home and I am always suspicious of canned or powdered some restaurants resort to but this was definitely fresh and the real deal. The sauce was topped with a dusting of paprika and presentation was perfect. Yousef was an efficient and quick waiter, very professional. As is always a challenge my wife takes on we eventually got a big smile out of him.
Overall I got the impression this was a tightly run restaurant that had taken pains to see to all the important touches. It was bright, sunny, and clean and the staff was friendly and attentive. I would not hesitate to go back for dinner and plan to.“

“yummy food and a very nice place👍🏻“

“Love the product, but the App is absolutely the worst! Takes several seconds for each selection to go thru, then I don't always even end up with everything working. Takes like 10 very frustrating minutes to place a basic order. Often times I just give up and order somewhere else. 🙄“

“This restaurant is a local gem! My friend ordered the food for us to share. The first dish she surprised me with was the Foo Young, and I wanted to take all the foo young home for my family to try! It was so yummy!
Their Vietnamese crepes are also made perfectly! We enjoyed the clay pot with all the mushrooms and veggies too.
Don’t overlook this #vegan, #plantbased, #plantforward treasure! Great staff as well. may they always be blessed with plenty of business 🙏🏼“

“Fresh yummy food with magical drinks.Excellent service with very welcoming staff.Enjoyed the fritters ,poke bowl and all the other dishes we tried.The outdoor ambiance with great food and company was over the top“

“Celebrated a graduation, and I absolutely loved it here. I'm vegetarian so I can't speak to the meat but others in my party had nothing bad to say about it at all. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere... I'd definitely go back. The staff is so attentive and honest and deserving of beyond a normal tip. One guest dropped a hundred dollar bill near her seat, and the waiter brought it to her in the way out! Integrity at its finest. A definite must go!“

“OMG 😳 The Ceviche (not counting my wife’s handmade ceviche) is the best I have ever tasted, and I’ve tasted a lot of ceviche. It’s soooo good. I had the Mango 🥭 Avocado 🥑 Shrimp 🍤 Ceviche it was like an explosion of flavors in my mouth, I couldn’t stop eating it. Great tacos 🌮 everything was beyond my expectations. I have probably walked by Puesto’s a hundred times but not anymore it will be my restaurant of choice when in Concord you have to try it. Sorry no picture of the Ceviche 😋“

“Visited this restaurant late evening after long discussion and online search. One of the team member suggested this as she had been here before. We ordered different kind of Dosa and some drinks.
Dosas were good but drinks were average for us may be fav to others.
Its spicy and good taste restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: Yes they had high chairs“

“This is one of the best restaurants I have been to in a while. Their outdoor sitting in a quiet bylane is especially enchanting! All of the entrées we ordered were really delicious, but we especially loved their house fries and their potato leek soup, served in shot glasses. We are already looking forward to our next visit!“

“This place is definitely one that you can come home to and enjoy the food of. Me, my brother, and my mom would always come here at least once a week and the owner always had such a welcoming attitude whenever we came in. The absolute care and hospitality put into this little restaurant really made my family want to keep coming back here again and again. I really hope that this place blows up! I RECOMMEND THE PAD SEE EW HEAVY ‼️“

“Comfortable seating, great service and food.“

“best sushi and cheap!!! will come again!!!“

“I recently discovered Bites of India in Pittsburg, California, and it turned out to be a delightful find! Originally, I had planned to pick up food from another restaurant across the street. However, the sign for Indian food caught my eye, and given that we haven't had a good Indian restaurant in East Contra Costa County for quite some time, I decided to alter my plans and give it a try.

The food at Bites of India was nothing short of delicious and brought back fond memories of my travels through northern India a few years ago. Every dish we tried was flavorful and well-prepared. I must highlight the Gobi Manchurian appetizer, which was extremely delicious and stood out as a memorable dish.

Our server, Monica, was friendly and helpful, adding to the overall positive dining experience. While the ambience of the restaurant is not particularly impressive—it is, after all, a small strip mall eatery—the quality of the food and the excellent service more than make up for it.

If you're in the area and craving some authentic and tasty Indian cuisine, I highly recommend stopping by Bites of India. You won't be disappointed!“

“Excellent noodles and sauces. I had the spicy numbing pork with thick noodles and it was delicious. Tried all my friend's food and it was great, I think I would get soup next time because the portion was very big and delicious. We also had the pleasure of looking back at the kitchen and seeing them hand pulling noodles in the middle of dinner.“

“Excellent sushi place. Restaurant is very well decorated inside. Staff was very friendly and attentive. They brought us miso soup as soon as we sat down. Tons of options included veggie rolls and non sushi options. Food came quickly and was fresh and very tasty. The prices were reasonable as well. Can't wait to return and try some other items.“

“Tried their sliders and garlic fries to go Very friendly, quick service and the meat was perfectly cooked. Will definitely be going again.“

“I liked the food, the staff and service were great, atmosphere was good. They give you cold water about as soon as you enter today (100F day in October) so that was a nice touch.

The Dan Dan & Yibin noodles both had good flavor, I'd only dock them for how thin the noodles were. I def like a thicker noodle. Portions are on the small size but prices reflect that and I enjoy getting to order more items and try more things without investing $20 on one plate. So that was nice as well.“

“As soon as you walk in- you are greeted by courteous & inviting staff. We ordered cocktails at the bar while we waited for a table. The wait was less than 5 min and the place was packed with happy diners. My pumpkin curry was pleasing to the eye and tasted delicious-although some pieces of pumpkin were raw. The lemongrass chicken medium spiced was delicious (full of flavor with the bright lemongrass & herbaceous spice). We shared the mango salad with shrimp -medium spice. Fresh & crisp & the shrimp were poached to perfection. We WILL return. *Ask for Alice.“

“OMG this place is good! I’m usually not excited about a grill but do get excited about cheese and boy does this place have cheese in spades!

I got the MeltBurger because I couldn’t resist the oozing cheese in the picture. The burger looked just like the picture and tasted amazing! Juicy and full of flavor!

My wife got the Mac Daddy which, honestly, doesn’t really sound all that doo - carbs on carbs but it was SO GOOD! A great cheesy flavor and then bacon to boot. Yummy!

We topped our meal off with the garlic parm fries that were perfectly cooked and generous amounts of Parmesan on top and garlic throughout!

I highly recommend.

My apologies for the pictures - I couldn’t wait to start eating!“

“Si buscas una experiencia auténtica de la cocina mexicana, no puedes dejar de visitar **Cielito** en Denville, California. Este restaurante se destaca por ofrecer una variedad de platillos mexicanos elaborados con ingredientes de la más alta calidad. Además, el servicio es excepcional, lo que hace que cada visita sea especial. Y no olvides probar su selección de bebidas, ¡son simplemente deliciosas! Sin duda, un lugar que vale la pena conocer. ¡Espero que lo disfruten!“

“Staff is Super Friendly & Courteous and the food speaks for it self. My favorite is the Carne Asada plate with grilled hot jalapeño and two Crispy taco plane is as well delicious. Pretty much everything on the menu is delicious 😋 I can’t forgot their horchata is alway good 🥤“

“I’ve enjoyed visiting Sunrise Bistro for breakfast. The convenient parking and manageable wait times make it a hassle-free spot for breakfast or brunch. I’ve tried a few dishes, like the carnitas and eggs, but my favorite by far is the smoked brisket and hash, which has become my go-to order. The only area for improvement would be the coffee. Better quality coffee and fresh creamer would really elevate the breakfast experience. Overall, it’s a nice place to dine in for breakfast or brunch.“

“What a good choice of a restaurant to celebrate my husband's Birthday! Everything was top of the line but what amazed me the most was the friendly service that made us feel right at home. Yes...we definitely will come back!“

“Fresh ahi tuna stack was uber delicious especially if you love sushi. Layers of edamame and cucumber at the bottom, plentiful chopped sashimi grade tuna in the middle and generously minced avocado at the top! YUM -Sorry no photo. I ate it all!“

“Loved our supper at Brasas Do Brazil Steakhouse. The meats were delicious so tender and flavorful. I got a good amount of salad and sides. My hubs went light so he'd have more room for grilled meats. lol. He got so full! It was a bit pricey but also, you make of it what you will. We didn't stay but an hour and a half, but there was one group who was there when we arrived and there when we left... make of that what you will! lol“

“Last Friday evening our party of 8 celebrated a warm and jubilant birthday, early Father’s Day party. From our arrival to our leaving the entire staff greeted us like family. All of our appetizers, Sushi-Rolls, were delicious! We all loved our Entrees-our seafood was expertly prepared!
Blue Sakana is “Our Special Place”…“

“Sooooo many little kids, which would be fine in the Beer Garden but many of the young children were not being well supervised. Great vibes, good beer, too many unsupervised littles“

“Anytime we are in Pleasanthill area we try to eat at Jo’s Honda Sushi. We used to live in Pleasanthill and we would go there at least once a week. We love Honda and all his family ❤️“

“Food was awesome! Every single piece of meat was cooked perfectly. The broth on my BBH and my husband’s pho were light but flavorful!Didn’t realize we over-ordered for 2 people until our dishes arrived. The servings were definitely good for sharing. We left with full bellies and a ton of take out.Viet coffee was soooo yummy and was perfect for today’s 75 deg weather.Service was great and the restaurant is well kept and clean. Free parking.Will definitely visit again when I’m in the area!“

“Every dish on the menu is 😋 delicious! My favorites are papaya salad, Banh Mi, BBQ Lemongrass Trio“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Truly One of the Best!
Chapan Kebab is hands down one of mu favorite restaurants. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious — me and my wife been here many times and have never had a bad experience. The customer service is consistently great, and Jawid, the owner, is an honest, hardworking, and committed person who clearly cares about his customers and the quality of the food.

Unlike other places that I’ve only visited once, Chapan Kebab keeps me coming back again and again. Highly recommended to anyone who appreciates great food and genuine hospitality!“

“Lovely pizza, and even lovelier owners - I got the My Chicken Supreme which was delicious and also tried the Chicken Pesto which was great. The owners are super accommodating, friendly, and went out of there way to make us comfortable. A homely vibe and plenty of seating options make this a cozy and cute pizzeria :)“

“The best chicken wings ever“

“My family took a Sunday during Memorial Day weekend to bike from Dublin to Danville. We decided to stop by Mountain Mike’s pizza for lunch. They were incredibly nice. There is a small unused hallway in the back where they allowed us to leave our bikes while we enjoyed our pizza.

We ordered the Mickenly and the Chicken Club pizzas. Both are delicious. Loaded with toppings and fluffy crispy bread. Well cooked but not burnt to perfection.

They also have TV playing a variety of sports. We were able to watch the NBA playoffs while we enjoy our pizza.

Would highly recommend swinging by for a pizza.“

“Freshest seafood with great service.“

“Very quick and efficient service. Food was pretty good for our first time there. Lots of Roll options, many unique that I had not seen before. Very nice presentation on the plates!
I had the Pork Ramen with Soba noodles, very tasty and filling.“

“ALL ACROSS THE BOARD 5 STARS FROM ME! THIS PLACE IS SUPER AMAZING, FOOD IS ON POINT, I DRIVE FROM VALLEJO TO EAT HERE SO LET THAT SIT ON YOUR TASTE BUDS. IT'S VERY QUITE SO YOUR ABLE TO GET SOME WORK DONE IF NEEDED AND CLEAN, CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A++, THE GENTLEMEN & HIS WIFE ARE SO NICE. IF ANYONE SPEAKS BAD ABOUT THIS PLACE, IT'S DEFINITELY THE PERSON, NOT THE BUSINESS.

Vegetarian options: Their not stingy with the food at all. it doesn't matter if it's take out or dine in. They fill you UP! And it's WORTH THE MONEY, so don't come here with a cheap mindset.

Kid-friendliness: Yes, kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“
