“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. ❤️”
“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”

“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.”
“We dropped in for lunch and were blown away! Everything is handmade & tastes absolutely divine!! It was so good, I haven’t had a meal this good in the USA for years!! We will be back!!”
“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😉”

“This is a bar that has a fine dining element without the fine dining prices. Chef was the former sous at Range Life which has a Michelin bib gourmand, so the small plates have a fun and eclectic but elevated feel.
I probably wouldn’t recommend here if you are a “steak and potatoes kind of person”, because they dont have “basic” food like the other places in town. They keep the menu pretty small because they dont have a full kitchen, but everything has been top tier so far!
I actually like coming here on slower nights (thursday and sunday) because it just has a very familiar and cozy vibe, like im at some secrete club where the staff knows my name. Friday and saturday are very fun with high energy in the dining room, but it’s almost impossible to get a walk-in table for inside since they only have 5 tables and a small bar. Definitely make a reservation!!
If you come for their “after dark” menu they have different drinks and spam musubis, and you just feel very “cool” hanging out here because of the ambiance. This place definitely has SF, Oakland, or even New York vibes which is unique to the area.
They also have a photobooth, cute back patio, and a vinyl dj twice a month!
10/10!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Great location for our family event. The staff are excellent and the wines are exceptional. Our family was very pleased that we could walk across the parking lot to a dispensary staffed with even more good folks. The scenery is scenic. It was convenient for us to be able to get setup and clean up with parking close by.”

“The Intero Foundation event hosted at 3 Steves Winery was absolutely beautiful! The ambiance was warm and inviting, the wine selection was exceptional, and the space was perfect for bringing our community together for a meaningful cause. Everything was well organized, and the staff was welcoming and attentive.
Grateful to be part of an evening that combined great wine, great people, and a great purpose. Highly recommend this venue for both professional and social events! 🍷✨”
“Great wine, breathtaking views, and the best staff! The trifecta for sure!”
“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!”

“A friend took me to this place as he loves Indian and Mediterranean food. I have been hooked since. I typically get one of the larger plates. The lamb schwarma is great. It's tasty, comes with salad, rice, pita bread etc. I also tried the iskander schwarma which was more of a tomato infused schwarma. Pretty good too. There are some desserts as well like baklava and Turkish delights. I tried both and they are quite decent. If you love Mediterranean food you'll love this place. Reasonable prices too.”

“FRIED OYSTERS! What a treat. We saw it posted on the door as we drove past and decided to try them. We had oyster, fish and shrimp. All great. The chips are great too. We’ll definitely be back. A local gem that we had never tried. A good reminder to support the local shops.”
“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.”

“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!”

“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”
“The food was large portions, but the pork carnitas in my 1st taco was not good; it was soft and tender, not crispy. That's really my only complaint. My asada taco was pretty good, and the rice and beans were really the hit of the whole show. Also, their red sauce is perfect.”
“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 🗑🚮”
“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 :) .”
“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.”
“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.”

“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!”
“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!”

“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 !”

“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”
“I arrived here for brunch and it wasn't too busy. I got my order and sat in their outdoor seating.
My order: Build Your Own Bowl
Base: Coconut and mango with a hazelnut spread (0.50+ for hazelnut)
Toppings: Coconut shavings/chips, strawberries, mangos, and honey
In terms of the food, I ordered a medium size and it was a good amount to leave me full. I really loved all of the flavors and it wasn't overly sweet either. Their portion sizes and variety of options completely eliminates any competition between Jamba or Vitality Bowl.
For the service, it was very quiet inside and the employees were very diligent in getting out the orders. I received mine in like 10 minutes, but I ordered 2 bowls one for myself and my partner. I wish there was more seating inside to be honest. Overall I enjoyed my visit 🤠🎉”
“Such a wonderful find! The drinks are delicious and made with fresh, vibrant fruits, you can really taste the difference. The staff is friendly and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The location is beautiful, spotlessly clean, and there's plenty of parking, which is always a plus. Can’t wait to come back!”
“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 ;)”
“I happened to be in the area and stopped in to see if they sold pizza by the slice. They have a 10 inch pizza that is a little bit bigger than a personal size. I ended up ordering the margarita pizza and it was delicious. The interior of the restaurant was very clean, the owner was extremely nice and I highly recommend The Hangout”
“I haven’t been to the original Pleasanton location but this spot did not disappoint! Classic soft serve ice cream and it’s affordable! The overall vibes of the place are cute, they are still new and in that remodeling phase but it’s already a hot spot for the locals!
The special flavor when I went was banana”
“Kid and dog friendly brunch spot.
Came by at 11am on a Saturday with my mom and baby and grabbed a shaded table on their front patio. Their front patio overlooks main Street and is a great spot to people watch on the weekend.
Our server was friendly, efficient and gave recommendations when asked. I ordered the sunrise sandwich with country potatoes and a latte and everything was yummy and thoughtfully prepared. Servings are quite generous too!
I will definitely return and especially recommend for anyone dining out with your fur ptr human baby!”
