The food was absolutely incredible and very well prepared. The service however was less than satisfactory. The Server walked up after an "almost" irritating wait and dropped off water and said she would be back. After another now irritating wait, she comes back and says, "What do you want for dinner?" We both said, can we start with a drink? So, orders placed, drinks come just as it starts to become noticeably irritating, and she apologizes for the delay. The food arrives and is absolutely amazing. She checks back after dinner to see if we want anything else and then presents the check. We give her a give card with a very large balance which has been successfully used at two other nice restaurants recently. She comes back and says the card doesn't work and usually doesn't work for them as their systems are old and not up to date. Don't know if we will return, but the Chilean sea bass and the Steak Frites were amazing.

The ambiance is great! However service was lacking, our server was nice we just did see her throughout our entire dinner. Not even once. I needed a sauce for my ahi sandwich but never had a chance to ask for it. We ordered the eggplant Parmesan and the ahi sandwich. They were both just average. The ahi was seared perfectly but I would say both were lacking in flavor. The hostess Isabel was amazing though. She heard us ask what the copperage meant and came over to explain since our server didn’t know. We think she would make a great server! Unfortunately we won’t know because we don’t plan to return. There are many nice places to choose when dining in the bay so this one was the worse we’ve been to so far.

We've been here a handful of times and usually really enjoy it.
We tried new things this time. I had the fish tacos, which were good enough, nothing amazing. He ordered the salmon, and it was so small! I gave him one of my 3 tacos it was so small. The frozen salmon at Trader Joe's are bigger than that.
Truffle fries are also good enough, but they're a small portion compared to other restaurants.

So my first time dining here with my wife, we didn't order anything fancy. We started with the burrata and it was delicious. For our main meals I had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes, tip tell them to put the sweet syrup on the side. Normally they put the syrup on the chicken, but trust me put it on the side then you can try it on a piece of chicken and decide for yourself, I preferred the chicken without the syrup. My wife had the burger, she said she liked it, three stars on the burger and four for the chicken without the syrup:). I think it's a great place to hang out and the service was great.

Very romantic spot or just a nice place for celebration. The food is delicious and the service has never disappointed. Definitely try the Sea Bass of you're into fish and the steak frites is cooked to perfection. Looking forward to coming here again!

It was a little busy in the main dining area, so we opted for a lovely high-top in the bar, very comfortable. We enjoyed a gin cocktail and a beer. Then ordered a steak and a salad with shrimp. All very good. Enjoyed the eclectic music, not too loud. Also took the chocolate dessert home. It was about $60pp. Glad to try this new Cooperage location. They have a nice private room that can seat 35 people.

Perfect lunch. Perfectly shaved and cooked Brussel sprouts. Followed by a perfect burger and onion rings. And a Nicoise Salad. Perfect. All complimented by perfect, friendly superior service!

My dining companion's food was excellent and mine was pretty good. My entree was sitting in a pool of liquid (water/grease/a combination of the two?). It was the same great-tasting eggplant parmesan I have at Cooperage before in Lafayette. I did drain off this liquid before eating it. It was lukewarm with some parts of it actually cold as if it had been hastily microwaved before serving it. Mostly I felt some of the service needed some polishing up. Two very pleasant men waited on us. I received a beet salad on a large rectangular platter but no utensil to scoop it on to another plate and no other plates for this but the small bread plates already on the table. The salad platter and small plates we used to eat it were not promptly removed when we were done with them. There was no salt and pepper on the table and I noticed none on the other tables. If the restaurant does this for a reason I would be curious to know about it. Generally, I like to have the option of adding this at times. As I said, the staff was very nice all around but some of these details would make for a better experience. Thanks

One of our favorite spots to eat in Walnutcreek. We come here probably 3 or 4 times a month. Kid and dog friendly. Good selection of food and always yummy. I'd say the best hamburger in WC!

Went here to celebrate an accomplishment by one of our family members. This was a Sunday for dinner. The restaurant was quite empty, but food service was a very slow regardless. We ordered three filet mignon steaks and a fish and they came out very slow. The cook on the fillets was good/as requested, and the cook on the Seabass was very delicious. However, the spinach that came with the Seabass had way too much garlic. We saw another table of two be seated at the same time as us get served their food and plates cleared before we got our main dishes. Additionally one of us was more hungry and we ordered a fourth steak, and we ordered it medium, but it was delivered to us rare. We returned it and asked for it to be cooked a little longer and it took about 15 to 20 minutes for it to come back and then it was cooked well done. For as much money we paid for all the steaks, this was very bad service, especially in the kitchen. I find the cooking in the kitchen and the mistakes that occur in their often drive bad experiences at restaurants. The host/manager did try to repair the situation, but we were not interested in a free dessert to compensate for the poorly cooked steak. This restaurant really needs to get its service levels better because it is so slow and I read those reviews from other people that ate there previously. Not sure if I'll come again due to the mediocre food and the slow food service. Sad because this location is a great location for restaurants if someone can get the service right.
