“On a recommendation I took my 12 year old grandson for a treat. I personally am not a seafood person. The staff was amazing. The chef chatted with him as my grandson was telling him over and over again how great the food was. Let me tell you this boy had the best meal. This was over a week ago and he’s still talking about the oysters, mussels, and the hamachi crudo he had. He had seconds on his oysters 🦪. He said that was the best meal ever. He loved the dipping sauce that came with his oysters. He’s ready to go back!! Thank you for making it a great experience for him.. Lorrie and Braxton Guerrios”
“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.”
“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. ❤️”
“We had a great meal on Friday 11/14/25. Service team was excellent and the food was delicious.”

“This little shop is absolutely adorable! We stopped in for a treat after dining downtown and were delighted by the smooth, creamy, very authentic Italian gelato. We're from out-of-town, but if you are anywhere near Livermore, do yourself a favor and stop in at Verace!”
“Maggie is the best server here at dennys.always brings out drinks on time and our food nice and hot. Free parking. Very clean place. I totally recommend dennys to come and enjoy with your family.I’ve been coming here for more than a year and she always been our server.I’ve been in the pleaston dennys and that place is nasty and bad service that’s why I stopped going over there , since we knew Maggie and the great friendly service she gives I’ll always come here with my friends who also enjoys having Maggie ass our waitress.”

“The food was so flavorful and not salty. The dishes were all real ceramic with bamboo chopsticks, and I really appreciated the wide bowl used for the vermicelli that made it easy to mix. We will definitely come here again. It is our new favorite Vietnamese restaurant.”
“We've lived in Livermore since 2005. Every restaurant in this location has always been excellent, and Calamari seems to have not just matched -- but surpassed all of its predecessors.
All of their bread is baked fresh daily on the premises. I can't have gluten, but I deeply appreciate fresh-baked awesomeness for anyone I bring who *can* enjoy the gluntenisian delights. The spread / dip that comes with the bread is so delicious that I would eat it on just about anything.
(Yes, even that. And yes, I know what you're thinking. Pervert.)
They have many gluten-free options, and everything is incredibly delicious. Grilled octopus was our appetizer of choice, and holy cephalopod, Batman! Nummy nummies in our tummies!
I ordered the salmon, and I've never had better. Milady had the Beef Manti -- and I was desperately jealous for a bite, but it's a dumpling made with wheat. Those of you who have no gluten issues (and consume le beeves) will have a great time with this dish.
We went with a bottle of the legendary Yakut (13.5 ABV), and it was lovely. Next time we'll try one of the other Turkish wines on offer, because this is a region we have yet to explore.
Dessert was the rice pudding (perfection), will the Turkish coffee at a 20 year old Tawny port.
One of the best meals we've ever had. We will be back: this menu must be explored to the furthest extent possible.”
“Great staff. Great bakery items. Pricey cookies, but great specialty food for gifts or party 🎁Save up for a visit. Worth every penny! The 3 minis get eaten b4 I get home two miles away😵💫. Now I buy one large cookie to keep myself under control😉”

“I haven’t been in a while, but it did not fail to impress because everything is so clean, and the flow of the lines was fast. The crew had it all together, and I was introduced to trying new things like strawberry dragon, fruit drinks, and you can’t miss the falafel euro bowl.
I’m kind of a stickler, but when I look around, everything was organized and clean, and everything had its place. All in all, a great experience made even better.”
“By far the best place to get food. I personally love the Nachos they are big enough to share. However I never want too. I have had just about everything on the menu and nothing has disappointed me yet. Now I compare every place to cinco taco bar and nothing is comparable.”
“Food was delicious and the service was exceptional! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.”

“Excellent vibes especially compared to the other winery’s we went to this weekend.
Utterly unpretentious and full of excellent service, vibes, and great wine. We were not member but they still treated our party with respect and dignity. Great wine and vibes and would recommend for anyone looking for a good time.”
“I can say enough good things about The Essence Livermore this company.From start to finish, the experience was absolutely amazing.The team arrived on time, worked with great attention to detail, and made sure everything was done perfectly.Their professionalism, honesty, and hard work really stood out.They went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with the results, and I truly appreciate the effort they put into every step of the project.The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, and the finished results look incredible.It’s rare these days to find a company that genuinely cares about its customers the way they do.I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy, and skilled professionals.Definitely a 5-star service that I will use again in the future.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“We recently had our wedding at 3 Steves, and it was AMAZING! We've been members here for a while, but I'm using this as an excuse to finally leave a review.
I really think 3 Steves shines across the board. The views are spectacular, the wine is delicious, and the staff is unmatched. For the wedding, Jason was an amazing resource. Since one of the first decisions we made was to have our wedding at 3 Steves, he shared a bunch of information on local food vendors, planners, and other wedding services. He, like the rest of the staff, goes the extra mile to make sure you have a great experience.
Can't recommend 3 Steves enough!”
“Great wine, breathtaking views, and the best staff! The trifecta for sure!”
“All of the foods and services are so good and I feel like they bring me back to Thailand. I ordered Pork leg on rice, Pad Gra Prow and Thai Boat noodles. The taste is real authentic. I’m sure I’ll come next time.”

“Great hangout, dog friendly, lots of TVs, and happy people. The beer here is good! I'm not generally an IPA fan (although I love a heavy hazy) but I actually enjoy some of the IPAs here. They're not the typical hop bombs so many others make, here they use hops responsibility 😂 Their Smoke and Dank....highly recommend. A little hoppy, but also a bit sweet, a really nice balance. I pop by whenever in Livermore and always enjoy the beers here. I should add there's a food truck on premises and if you have any wine lovers in your group, Wood Family tasting room is literally just a across the street (and I also highly recommend).”

“What a wonderful little place! Great food, sweet owners and a quiet atmosphere. Hubby had shrimp with coleslaw slaw on the side and I had fish & chips. Btw...the portions are generous so be aware. 😊All of it was Deee-licious!!! Best place we've eaten in town since arriving 2 weeks ago to work the fair. Definitely will be back!!”
“It was pretty good, my rating is definitely based on the price and the atmosphere
I got the Linguica sandwich, I really enjoyed it, everything was on point.
The bay needs more places like this.
Wait was a big long for the food, but other than that no real complaints
My buddy got the ⅓lb burger (not pictured) he said it was very good and worth the price.”

“I wanted to take a moment to recognize the outstanding service I received at Subway in Livermore. I frequently travel through this area on my way to and from the Central Valley, and experiences like this are exactly why I’ll continue stopping here.
Pam provided exceptional customer service from start to finish. She was professional, friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. In a world where great customer service can sometimes be hard to find, it was truly refreshing to be greeted by someone who clearly takes pride in her work and treats customers with such respect and care.
The restaurant was welcoming, my order was prepared perfectly, and the entire experience left a lasting impression. Employees like Pam make a real difference and deserve recognition for the positive impact they have on customers’ days.
Thank you, Pam, for your kindness and professionalism. It’s refreshing to see genuinely good people still out there, and because of your excellent service, I’ll be looking forward to stopping by again whenever I’m passing through Livermore.”
“The gentleman who took my order was so sweet and provided suggestions for food. The pork and rice was SO delicious. The pork was so juicy and seasoned so well. The Thai tea was sweet and perfect. The spring rolls, also so wonderful! First time here and I enjoyed it so much!”
“Out of all the Sultans in the tri valley area this location is my favorite. Cool atmosphere, excellent service and food. The owner is awesome. Ive been in the hospitality industry for many years so It's nice to see an owner so hands-on and genuinely invested in their guests' experience.
He sets the gold standard for hospitality—warm, attentive, and incredibly gracious.”
“We ordered two wraps, and they were absolutely delicious! Everything tasted fresh, healthy, and full of flavor. We really loved it and had a great experience overall. The food quality was excellent, and we would definitely come back again. Highly recommended!”

“Had a fantastic dining experience at 'The House' in downtown Livermore! Our group of six ordered the pork bulgogi, spicy stir-fried squid, budae-jjigae, and grilled mackerel. I was impressed by how every dish tasted amazing, especially since they have such a wide variety on the menu. The side dishes were pretty good and the service was incredibly friendly. It’s only been open for two years, but it’s already super popular and crowded for a reason. Highly recommend!”

“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”
“Definitely a hole in the wall type of Taqueria but very nice inside. Really nice tables and three big screen TVs. You walk up to the register and place your order then you sit down and they bring your food to you. All of the food was very tasty and fresh so it’s not like your ordinary Taqueria. The food just had good flavor all the way through. We ordered three plates to try different stuff. Definitely had restaurant prices but it was really good. It was more of a restaurant type place. We will be going back.”
“Best place in town for affordable sushi! I come here about once a week and usually get the sushi lunch special. It's under $20 and comes with miso soup, salad, a roll, and five pieces of nigiri sushi. I have tried other menu items and they are good too. There is better sushi in Livermore, but sushi zone has prices that are noticeably more affordable without sacrificing taste or quality.
The staff is friendly and it has a laid back atmosphere. Quick service too. There is a huge parking lot so you can easily park and walk in.”
“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 :) .”
“HORRIBLE PLACE!! 😣 THERES A BUNCH OF BUMS HANGING OUT THERE, SELLING DRUGS OR LOOKING FOR DRUGS. ALSO THE BARTENDER MARIANA IS RATCHET I KNOW SHE BE GIVING FREE BEERS AND MONEY TO SOME OF THE REGULAR BUMS THAT GO THERE 24/7. THIS PLACE IS JUST GHETTO. 🤢🤮 STRAIGHT UP TRASH 🗑🚮”
“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.”

“I wanted to share how impressed I was with the service I received this evening. I accidentally placed the wrong order, and despite it being the end of the day and the barista being visibly tired, they were incredibly kind and patient. They cancelled my mistake and replaced it with the correct drink immediately without charging me extra. It was a wonderful gesture that truly turned my day around!”
“I'm amazed how delicious this restaurant's food is. Not joking, I'm just finishing my shrimp and chicken salad, G on the menu and it was the absolute best salad I've ever had. Ambiance is really beautiful, staff was exceptionally welcoming. I'll be back here from now on for my Asian food. The prices were good too.”
“Hanabishi Japanese Cuisine is an incredible restaurant. The environment is relaxing, and inviting, and the service is remarkable. I was also amazed by the affordable and fair prices they charge and the outstanding service and attention to detail. This is easily the best affordable sushi restaurant in Livermore. Thank you, Hanabishi, I look forward to my next visit!”
“Excellent wines. Friendly, well informed staff, beautiful grounds!!”

“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.”
“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. ❤️”
“What a great place , excellent food excellent service , the seafood salad , fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and seafood ravioli are to die for , love this place. Not sure what the negative reviews are saying. We went on a slow night so our waiter was not challenged, he did the little extras that made it a memorable experience like packing our leftovers in the kitchen !”

“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.”

“We are visiting from the uk and always love to visit Cattlemen’s in Dixon. We have been twice this vacation and both times were fantastic! We visited last night, 13th August and were served by Jess, she was just amazing, everything was perfect, food was out of this world and we were looked after with impeccable service and some great humour thrown in! Jess, you are a credit to the restaurant! Both of my daughters loved the great ambiance of Cattlemen’s. Thank you again, one of the reasons why we love visiting this part of Californi. Thank you again.”
“So, we’ve done BOTH happy hour AND dinner here many times, and have never been disappointed EVER! The food is always prepared on point, and the drinks definitely hit the spot! But, in this day and age, hospitality seems to have fallen DRASTICALLY by the wayside…..but NOT at Zephyr! All of the greeters/waiters/waitresses/mixologists, are above and beyond cordial AND personable as well…..which only enhances the visit! We will continue to keep this establishment as a frequent haunt for sure!!!”

“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.”

“We hosted our building women empowerment group luncheon here and it was a super success. Ankita and the staff ensured that everything was smooth from a welcome drink to the appetizers, the main course of delicious pizza and salad, and the finale of a dubai chocolate pizza dessert. Loved it! Thank you”

“Let me say the way they make that macaroni and cheese is really good I was so impressed. The Chicken Parmesan was good I had extra sauce and it was very flavorful. Look for Tina she was so nice and pleasant and Katey was very helpful in me making a choice. I will be returning thank
You girls ;)”
“My go to breakfast spot in Livermore. For starters, some great coffee. My biggest complaint is there are too many good choices and I never know what to eat. Big fan of the breakfast tacos and breakfast burrito though. I’ve had numerous interactions with the owners and manager. Super friendly and they have a fantastic staff. Glad Livermore finally has a good breakfast spot!”
“Everything was bomb, stopped by for a quick bite, lamb manti, whipped feta, and heirloom tomato toast were especially memorable!
Cocktails were all very unique as well”
