50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Orinda

“Love the live music of the Ripplers And Secret Sauce!“

“I love Nations but it really pisses me off that the Management doesn't allow the employees to have a tip jar of every little bit helps especially now and it's not like they pay great either just average, but I did see a Giant Help Wanted sign in the window, hmmm I wonder why?“

“Since this Cafe is so close to my house, I love taking my friends here when they come visit. The town of Orinda always gives me this feeling of leisure and grabbing a bite at Cafe Teatro helps to calm my mind. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available but I prefer outdoor for the sense of serenity (and because I get to look at my motorcycle while I eat). Love the Melts and Espresso here!“

“Great food and wonderful staff! Our favorite breakfast place, and there is a lot of competition!“

“This was our first time. Food was authentic Northern Italian. My family are from Le Marche’. The pizza & polla Parmagano was loved by our teenagers. And the Gnocchi was cooked to order per my request. Definitely adding this to my top 3 restaurants“

“I have been here several times so far.

This place works well if you enjoy classic American food (Meatloaf, roast beef, pot roast, etc)

If you prefer other cuisines, this wouldn't work well for you.

When visiting I enjoy either Reuben sandwich and mashed potatoes or Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Alongside a soup

My mom likes the roast beef sandwich with au jous sauce

My brother enjoys any Italian-American dishes like the classic Spaghetti and Meatballs.

To conclude, if you enjoy classic American comfort food this place works well for you.“

“Definitely Best Tacos in Town! 🔥🍻🤤“

“THE BEST CHICKIN IN INDY“

“This is what we had tonight but, they have excellent food and service every time.“

“What a delicious and delightful and beautiful treasure. The food is absolutely tantalizing. I mean everything is oh so good. I can’t wait to eat here again. Definitely gonna take home some loaded lamb fries. The platters…the sparkling lemonade…the lentil soup…I could go on and on. Just a pleasant surprise. Mmm mm m.“

“We were gifted our first ever Bake Sum box. After trying just one bite of a Yuzu meringue bun I knew I needed more. Ordered our second BSB last week and shared amongst the roomies, huge hit. Well baked, not too sweet, great flavor combinations. 10/10 would recommend the Bake Sum box. If you can’t grab a box, you can grab al a cart day of pick ups just to tide you over until you can get a box 😋“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food! Outdoor dining, too!“

“What a great surprise. The food was delicious, and the service was great. We look forward to trying the rest of the menu. I highly recommend the Loco Moco.“

“Loved our lunch today ! Bison stew with fry bread and bison meatballs. Hibiscus tea was awesome. Staff was so incredible. Busy and very full today. Great atmosphere.“

“Excelente personas muy trabajadoras ambiente familiar y bastantitas menús saludables lo recomiendo al 100%“

“The best biriani I've ever had!“

“the place is very nice plus the view across the street is like a gigantic mirror ! you should see it for yourself !!! it really is something to look at while having your coffee.... it is spectacular !!!! and of course, the staff were super sweet !“

“Everything was fantastic!!“

“We enjoyed this amazing restaurant for dinner tonight with our aunt and uncle that live here. What a fun place and the decor and ambiance is perfect. I absolutely loved the tapas style of eating and every dish we had was delicious. And we had the best server with making sure we were happy all the time and accommodating one in our group with a food allergy. Very attentive!!“

“I really loved the Lao Special menu. You can order small portion of diverse foods. I ordered several items I have never eaten before, and they were all fantastic. The fermented pork sausage was the most "out there" dish from an American point of view: I didn't even know such a thing existed. Nice interior, and the service is great. This is some of the best Laotian food I've tried in the Bay. It turns out the portions are pretty generous, so I took soke home for another meal.“

“Had a fantastic time celebrating our friend's 50th wedding anniversary tonight! Service was warm, caring and attentive. Everyone enjoyed their meals, but the watermelon salad and whole roast chicken were the clear winners!

Margaritas go down way too easy, but are pricey at $15/drink. Chocolate chip & oatmeal cookie was tasty but they charge $9 for a single cookie!!! Our tab after tax and tip was $320+ for 5 margaritas, 1 mocktail, watermelon salad, roasted carrots, duck leg, filet mignon, whole roast chicken, 1 cookie and 1 coffee.

It's too pricey for a regular meal, but worth the occasional splurge for sure!“

“Cute little restaurant. We ordered cucumber salad, bbq chicken set and bbq char siu set. Everything tastes so good. Very very high food quality. A lot of flavors. The spicy and numbing cucumber salad is the BEST I have had in the US. Not exaggerating.

It’s counter service and they have discounts for cash. Staff is very friendly. Great neighborhood restaurant for everyday eats. Would come back again when we are in Berkeley next time.“

“Lovely place with a great space.“

“OMG!!! Time stopped as I bit into a donut savant cronut for the very first time. I live in N. Sacramento but I am fantasizing about the next trip to #oakland. You people are truly doing god’s work here. Carry on😋😘🙏🏿❤️“

“I am slowly working my way through the whole menu the sea bass was excellent today so was the salmon my friend enjoyed I've had the braised beef and we both had the chicken tenders we will continue to enjoy what is offer especially those new items that just came in. chef Raul and the crew know what they're doing very lovely outing every time“

“Petit Cafe is a hidden gem! The warm ambiance, delightful pastries, and rich coffee make it the perfect spot to unwind. The staff are friendly, and every visit feels like a little escape from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommend!“

“This is a good, casual KBBQ experience for a group. Not the tastiest or the best bang for buck, but definitely serves as a good fix.

We had a reservation for five and a toddler on a Friday night and were seated pretty quickly. Parking spaces were tight in the lot but fortunately there was a lot of street parking a couple blocks away.

We ordered the supreme set A, a seafood pancake, corn cheese and bossom to share. Between us we shared a grill and had our designated cooks at the table (which is how we prefer it but some might prefer a place that cooks for you). The highlight was easily the galbi (as if often is) and we did wish that the bossom was a little less dry. The others were good (as expected) but nothing to write home about. The banchan was also very standard.

Service wise, the waiters were a little slow to take our order and to give refills (for water, lettuce, etc.). Though, the yogurt soju special for our friend’s birthday was a really nice touch.

Like most KBBQ places, it’s helpful to bring your own bags for your clothes as the hoods aren’t the strongest, and it can get loud, but again - it’s a fairly standard experience.“

“I’m touring a condo in Oakland for a client making an offer and I stop for a quick bite at a tiny sandwich place next to the Grand Lake Theater. OMG, Unbelievable sandwiches, smoked meats, homemade pickles, peppers🫑 and memorable pulled pork, etc. I hang out for a few minutes while Jerry makes my Cuban sandwich, and he has me try their smoked bacon, homemade meatballs, and more. Jerry’s the best and I love this place. Can’t wait to tell my client about it!! Check out Modigliani Cafe, next to the Grand Lake Theater. #modigliani #localbusiness #Oakland #localgem #restaurant #sandwich #grandlakedistrict #holeinthewall #localjoint #bayareafoodie #pamparkerproperties #realtor®“

“I've tried everything Taco's Oscar has ever made and it's awesome. Love to see a place that treats vegetarian offerings with respect - woe to my mental health when the seasonal sweet potato taco is phased out. P.S. please bring back the romano bean taco!!!!!“

“The lamb chops were phenomenal!“

“Great food and staff Best Irish bar in Oakland“

“Upbeat generous dude with tasty wholesome food.“

“Good Burritos and good service“

“5 stars. Amazing food from the lentil soup to dessert. Highly recommend.“

“Such a rad spot, fun vibe, engaging staff, and an insane variety of yummy beer. Definitely a must.“

“We’ve got two pour over - Ethiopia and Rwanda. Both had a slightly acidic taste and delicious! The pastry, cinnamon bun, was so good. Soft and not overly sweet. Very tasty. It felt like European-style bread. Despite only two seats available, we still enjoyed our coffee on site. Staff was very friendly.“

“As a regular customer of Babette since their opening I had to respond to GoGo's 1 star review. This review was do obviously written by someone with a grudge, perhaps an employee who just terminated for just cause. Babette is a lovely place. The food is great, vast majority of the staff had been there for years. The owners are kind and care about all aspects of their business and staff. That's been clearly obvious every time I've dined there. Pay no mind to this person who speaks so poorly out of spite. Babette is a great place, worthy of the community's parsonage.“

“I saw someome make a TikTok about this place and immediately knew I had to add that to my list. I headed out to Berkeley on a Friday morning to try it out and I bought a friend who isnt a big fan of Thai and or Asian food. I was thankful to experience this style of northern Thai cuisine I believe the order Tanzie referred to it as. The hospitality and service was above average. I enjoyed all of my food and so did my friend. The pork jowl was agreed to be are favorite out of the all the dishes we tried. Very juicy , flavorful and just all around deliscious topped off with that crispy fried garlic. The brown rice over that soft scrambled "lava egg" was to die for paired with the savory tomato based minced pork that I ordered extra spicy of course. The star of the show that me and my friend both agreed on had to be the "prik nam pla" which I would describe as a sweet and spicy vinegar or fish sauce based dipping sauce accompanied by a nice punch of spice from the thai chili peppers. I dont have any complaints whatsoever and I will definitely be back.“

“My friend and I were able to get in on a Friday night, and I felt the experience was very good. The service was prompt and the ambiance was definitely classy and East Bay. I think the tables were slightly close to each other, creating an intimate environment but also easier to hear others talk. I was not super impressed with the food, but I think this is personal and my experience is not universal.“

“The one neighborhood pizza sport bar & restaurant business“

“Outstanding spot to watch sports, chill, and more“

“Finally tried this new spot on MLK Jr Way. The Thai Tea Brown Sugar Mochi was legit, and somehow the Cheddar Cheese Walnut Pralines actually worked. Owners know what they're doing - creative flavors that don't feel gimmicky. Berkeley needed this.“

“Delicious and fresh. Excellent vegetarian food. Great takeout service and online ordering.“

“Cute spot for a first date. Solid food, great staff and a mind numbing amount of beers on tap. The staff playlists are definitive deep cuts and current favorites.“

“Fantastic food and amazing service!!“

“Best of the best. Tons of choices, exquisite French patisseries, true North African specialties… there is so much to choose from. High quality and scrumptious! We will be back!!!“

“i recommend coming some minutes before they open to avoid a very long line! i arrived 5min beforehand and there was already several groups in front of me.

i ordered the corn korokke and the hot ebi ten soba. there was a tiny fly fried on my tempura lol but they quickly replaced it with a fresh set. the soba was okay, but i honestly think i’m just not a fan of soba in general.“

“Wonderful cookies, Excellent Consumer service“
