“Cured is a true gem! This is a small, intimate restaurant with an excellent eye for detail and quality. The owners, Franny and Joe are culinary and service experts, and put so much effort into creating memorable dining experiences. The cuisine is Japanese adjacent with a west coast twist. I loved the halibut sashimi. It was dressed with extra virgin olive oil, and this really brought out the fat of the halibut and was so savory and balanced. Go treat yourself! <3”
“Atmosphere, good drinks (yes plural) and pleasant accommodating wait staff is what makes Posada one of my favorite high-end places to eat. The phenomenal sauces combined with items cooked perfectly make this one of (if not THE) best restaurant in Livermore. Latin meals are their wheel-house; no doubt, Full-stop. With that said, what’s not in their wheel-house are steaks. Don’t get me wrong here, preparation was unparalleled, quality of the meat was another. Quite sub-par for the price. Over all thought, a terrific place to go.”
“Favorite restaurant in the trivalley for my hubs and me. Always something new, always fresh. A symphony of flavors!”
“This ended up being a happy accident. We were trying to get a seat at a place down the way but after 45 minutes, and with concert tickets in hand, we decided to try this new place. I'm so happy we did. Everything was amazing. Best calamari I've ever had. The salmon and lamb (me and my husband, respectively) we're perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu.
Plus we made it to our concert on time!”
“Came here for lunch always enjoy a good sushi spot. Was seated right away want to busy. Decided to order a bento box with chicken teriyaki, gyoza, and spicy tuna roll. All were delicious. Bento box came with miso soup which was great and a salad that I didn't care for as it was warm and barely had any dressing on it. I ordered some sashmi, 6 pieces of Tuna, tasted very fresh and was wanted would of ordered more of not being full from the bento box. Definitely would recommend stopping by if looking for some good sushi.”

“Had the best lunch today. Gyro bites and Hummus and olive platter was delicious. Zeus Blood cocktail was fabulous and since I’m not a fan of vodka Demitri made it with tequila. He was a great host with the personality and humor to go with it. I will definitely be back.”

“Our favorite restaurant in Livermore now! Love the food. Grew up back east in an italian community. This place is legit! Huge portions. If you sit outside you need to go inside to order which was no problem at all. They can get very busy so be patient. It’s worth the wait. Kevin is so kind and helpful. Makes you feel like family. ❤️”
“When I noticed Can Am Pizza popped up in my neighborhood I couldn’t help but want to support a small business, as someone who works for one in the Bay Area. I was craving pizza and my last few experiences with Pizza Guys have been regretful and unlike prior years, long story short… it was time to give Can Am a whirl. And hence I discovered my new favorite pizza restaurant!!! Can Am Pizza is pretty, ingredients are all super FRESH, the toppings are heavenly spread and my golly… the crust is crunchy! In every bite! We ordered the Mega Pizza and the Tandori Chicken Wings… in case you need a delicious and satisfying dinner :)”
“Wow this place knocked it out of the park! The menu is laid out well so you can build your own item and flavors. All the ingredients are fresh, sauces are on point, and each hummus is so good! I really liked the shawarma chicken too - not rubbery or hard. I also ordered a pita and it was very fluffy!”

“First-timers. The best nan that I've had in the US. Light, flaky layers, not doughy. Went well with our excellent goat stew and lentils. Beautiful interior. I'd recommend The Essence to everyone and can't wait to return!”
“Worth a stop in if you are in the area! Beer options are plentiful, great space, vibe, and super clean! This beer AND Kombucha is so refreshing! Something for everyone on the menu! Such a good hang out spot, after work, date night, and more. Dog Friendly too! I can't wait to be back!”

“Came in randomly picking out a restaurant in This plaza and happy to say I made the right choice. I was greeted with a friendly face and a nice gentleman who seemed very helpful in explaining the different options they can do for the pho noodle Soup. I chose the egg noodle shrimp pho, it was a hot day and I still throughly sweated and ended every single bite.extremely flavorful and delicious food. Wonderful attentive service. I highly recommend and can't wait to come back.”

“Fantastic Pho and great people.
I ordered the large rare beef pho, and it was exactly what I needed today.
The broth was not greasy or fatty. The meat was perfect, and I was surprised to see how much meat was in my bowl. A nice plus.
I asked for extra lemons, my preference over limes, and they were juicy too, lol
The customer service was great. The gentleman at the counter was very polite, kind, and not overbearing. Seems like a chill, nice person. I also observed how he greated incoming customers, and he just has a good vibe to him.
It's a small establishment, lots of parking nearby.
My bowl was 18$, and I was definitely an 18 dollar bowl due to the extra meat and noodles.
I wish we had this place in my town, just passing through.”
“Pizza guys are the best pizza around Livermore

“We are members at Darcie Kent for about a year now and love this place! Wonderful atmosphere, release parties, and most importantly — WINE!!!! Such a gem of a place. They have great servers. Lisette helped us through a tasting even though we were late and made it a great experience. On occasion, we have been helped a few times by Carolyn as well as she remembered our names and always says hi. We love the staff and everything about this winery, doesn’t feel snobby, more like a family.”
“We had the pleasure of filming a 3D virtual tour of Longevity Wines’ beautiful winery in Livermore.

We’re proud to help bring their unique winery experience to a wider audience through immersive virtual tours, making it easy for wine lovers everywhere to explore this special spot from afar.🌎”
“Been here 3 times now since a family member is a wine club member. This is just a small tasting room, but their usually not packed and have both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a section in the back that is for members only. There is only 1 bathroom though so plan accordingly.
They always start you off with a welcome glass of sparkling wine then you choose your tasting. There's 2 teasing options, a normal $20 or a higher end $60 one. Each with 4 normal sized pours, which are all given at once in little caraffes so you can taste at your own pace. Their wines are high quality, more red heavy, but they have a variety. Their style is more earthy, bold, barrel aged reds.
Service is always good. They allow outside food. Street parking is not too difficult. Check them out”
“We recently had my dad’s celebration of life service at 3 Steve’s. From the first call to Jason to the day of, I cannot say enough good things. Jason was incredibly kind and helpful! We had about 100 people at the event and it turned out so beautiful. I’m incredibly thankful to 3 Steve’s for being such an important part of such an important day.”
“Wow, stepping into Taj Mahal Restaurant felt like entering a palace! The decor was absolutely stunning, setting the stage for what turned out to be an unforgettable dining experience. And the service? Top-notch! The staff and Vikas made our whole party feel like royalty from the moment we walked in. Now, let's talk about the food – it was simply divine. The tandoori salmon with pineapple was like a flavor explosion. It was a delightful fusion of flavors, perfectly balancing the sweetness of the pineapple with the smokiness of the tandoori. And those lamb chops? Let me tell you, they were so tender and flavorful. And the chicken curry? Rich and flavorful, with spices that were different but authentic. And let's not forget about the drinks. Taj Mahal offers a fantastic selection, from classic Indian teas to creative cocktails. Each sip was a delight that perfectly complemented the incredible dishes. What truly elevated the experience was the ambiance. The background music set the perfect mood, and the robot waiters added a touch of futuristic charm. Plus, having Bollywood movie music videos playing in the background added an extra layer of entertainment. In conclusion, Taj Mahal Restaurant isn't just a place to eat; it's an experience. With its breathtaking decor, exceptional service, mouthwatering menu, and captivating ambiance, it's a culinary journey you won't want to miss.”
“My wife and I look for good breakfast places and Monica's was perfect for us. The food and the atmosphere was great. We will definitely come back with friends and family! I would like the thank the staff for their service and hard work!”
“November 17 was our first time at Simply Fondue for a few years. It was as good as/better than I remembered. Food was excellent and Chloe was very friendly and attentive. She explained all of our options. Close to Bankhead Theater is a bonus.”

“One of our favorite local spots to have an easy relaxed dinner. We like to order fish & chips and mushrooms. The onion rings and fried zucchini are delicious as well. I guess I can say over the years I’ve tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed. Thank you Louise’s!”
“Had a great experience! Food portions are bigger than I expected, so I definitely could have gone without ordering a second item. Great prices for amount of food and it was delicious! The server was so kind and very on top of our service. It was a busy night and she apologized for the wait, but honestly, I think we maybe waited 10-15 minutes? Which didn’t feel like anything abnormal while waiting for a meal. I also left my to-go container by accident and she tracked me down outside to make sure I had it. Very kind and over the top service for us! Definitely recommend supporting!”

“The food Absolutely incredible. Every dish we ordered was beautifully plated and bursting with flavor. You can tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients and put real care into their cooking. The bowl was a standout perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection.
Drinks were also on point, with a great selection of fountain drinks, and dessert was the perfect ending to an amazing meal.
Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a memorable meal and top-notch hospitality. Can’t wait to come back!”
“Delicious food in a very pleasant atmosphere. We are from out of state and looked online for places to eat. New Thai Eatery and Grill came up and we decided to try it. So glad we found it. We had a combo Pad Thai, Crab Fried Rice and the Mango Sticky Rice. Very very good.”
“Okay venue for music. Food good but pricey. Wine is much better than Almost Famous. Very noisy if going to listen to music. High ceilings make the noise seem louder. They get good bands but the talking in the room makes it hard to hear. Hoping the outside venue lends itself better to music.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“One of the few left around, we stopped in for a hot dog and was pleasantly surprised. The establishment was clean, service was great and the food was so fresh! It was a nice little change for a fast food lunch. Their fries are always delicious, anyway.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wide door was with plenty of pull up seating.”
“Love this place!!
Been there couple of times and it always a pleasant experience.
First & foremost the best part of this place is the love, politeness and hospitality. The staff is lovely. It feels like home. They feed you like you are at home.
It’s a very basic hole in the wall, mom n pop restaurant. The bright vibrant yellow color of this places makes it stand out.
They have a good extensive menu of all the essential Mexican food.
The portion sizes are HUGE so order accordingly.
We have tried, burritos, taco’s, quesadillas etc, everything was delicious.
The salsa bar is also yummylicious. They have fresh nachos, nice n warm.
The carne asada enchiladas were delicious & flavorful.
Forgot the name of the fish dish, that was a heck of dish. The fish was cooked to perfection.
The shrimp plate was yummy
Difficult to say which one was my favorite. I love everything here which I tried.
They have decent size indoor and outdoor space.
The service is quick n efficient
Highly recommend it.”
“We appreciated the show last night, we don't get out much, just happened to be at the Marriott Livermore, and one of your customers recommended we come. Loved the environment, music, show, and the people.. Maybe we will see you guys one day again, Google : Stevie Ray & The Deacon to find out more about, our music, and who we are. Fixing to release our first single, called "Feeling Dirty" .which I finished in Livermore Sunday morning.. Rock on”
“If you are a lover of Mexican food, Casa Mexico is WELL WORTH the trip. From friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere to mouth watering meals, this restaurant lives up to its name. Transport your taste buds to classics that make you feel like you are in your own casita. I would recommend this establishment to those who value quality over quantity :) .”
“This location is very professional and clean. My family and I stopped in for lunch. The cashier, Abigail helped us place our order. She was very nice, professional, and polite. After we placed our order, we received the food very quickly which was surprising because they were pretty busy. After we received our order we noticed one of the sandwiches wasn’t made right. We brought the sandwich to Abigail. She understood and agreed there was a miscommunication and remade the sandwich without any hesitation. Her customer service is amazing. She made the sandwich and gave it to us. Food was fresh and delicious. This Togo’s location is A+.”

Cheap Eats
“I've eaten at this restaurant at least 200 times, it's that good, and they always greeted me by name. Now 8 years later it's October 2024 and it's every bit as good as then. On top of that, it's a bargain. Kung Pao chicken is my favorite. Mongolian Beef is also very tasty. By coincidence, I visited at the same time as another truck driver, there's unlimited parking in the neighborhood, there's no problem at all if your truck is 60 feet long. He had the delicious large bowl of Wonton soup, another favorite. We could have eaten anywhere but of course we both chose Ming's Garden knowing it's a hidden gem. This is a place for those who appreciate healthy food expertly prepared. Wishing them all the success in the world.
Parking: Very large shared parking lot, plus unlimited on-street parking with a short, pleasant landscaped walkway. Safe, clean, quiet neighborhood of light industry buildings.”
“Super friendly workers. Small selection of fresh vegetables but they have the staples. The poblano peppers looked old and wrinkly. Limes were dry. Marinated pork, beef and chicken are tasty and chopped up and ready to cook. Although the last batch of chicken smelled spoiled after we got it home so we didn't cook it.”
“We had a great time. The service was really nice and the person who seemed to be manager on duty seem to want to train his staff while they worked in a really positive manner. We were able to modify a meal to fit my eating requirements, and really had a very nice time.”
“This our first time in our Five star Pho restaurant. And it’s was cost $260 dollars for lunch. The #1 Combo with a side of meatball was so amazing and the Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk was ? I get this nine flat. And the #1 Combo was 10/10. When I get this, yes ?% Yesterday was was Veterans Day. I like to take this opportunity thank you for our service.”
“Love this place! Almost like a hole in the wall type of mom & pop shop but has one of the best Korean food around!! I highly recommend it!
Parking: Right in front and Ike th in the back also.”

“Atmosphere, good drinks (yes plural) and pleasant accommodating wait staff is what makes Posada one of my favorite high-end places to eat. The phenomenal sauces combined with items cooked perfectly make this one of (if not THE) best restaurant in Livermore. Latin meals are their wheel-house; no doubt, Full-stop. With that said, what’s not in their wheel-house are steaks. Don’t get me wrong here, preparation was unparalleled, quality of the meat was another. Quite sub-par for the price. Over all thought, a terrific place to go.”

“Went here after spending the day in Livermore. Located in quaint downtown area of old Livermore. We visited on a Monday evening. Restaurant had a small number of guests. Service was attentive. Food was good. Had butternut squash soup and grilled pair salad for appetizers! Parmesan Lemon Sole and Molasses Glazed Meatloaf for our entrees. Brought part of meatloaf home for a great next day sandwich.”
“We came for dinner. The food is top notch even without selecting the premium addon option. The servers were nice and came to change grill pans a few times. The only thing that may be minus is their waitlist on yelp/google map did not work. We had to call in to check status.”
“We hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner for 30 people in the patio at Elevation LVK. The owner and his team did a great job, and our guests enjoyed themselves. We enjoyed the food and service. The weather was perfect, and when the sun drops behind the building, it was so much nicer than hosting the dinner in a hotel meeting room or cramped private dining room.”
“Great vibes, great beers, solid food. We ate out on the patio and enjoyed the wide selection of local brews. The IPA I chose had delicious hints of pineapple. Food was prepared in a food truck parked on the property. The brisket burger and flatbread pizzas were solid though a bit overpriced.
Service was a bit mixed. Two of our servers weren't very friendly or helpful. Hence the 4 stars rather than 5.”
“We’ve been here four times and have never been disappointed. Every time, the food and drinks have been excellent. They recently updated their menu, and everything is fantastic. You should try all the drinks on the menu.”
