“I came here for happy hour and dinner. Decent selection on the HH menu which is from 3-5. We ordered the shrimp and fried ravioli which was $8 per appetizer. We considered ordering the Kobe sliders but opted for a $35 prime rib dinner which came with a loaded baked potato and sautéed veggies. I split this and 2 happy hour appetizers with my friend and it hit the spot! Just when I thought I didn’t have room for dessert I made room. The butter toffee cake was delicious and I highly recommend it!

It was slow on a Tuesday night. Service was friendly and attentive. Def worth a visit!“

“This spot is the most absolute amazing food and drinks and service out there. Every single food item I had has been outstanding!“

“We frequent this restaurant not only because the food is delicious and the cocktails are top quality, but also because the staff is really nice and welcoming! This restaurant has it all!! The weekend brunches is a must try! They open at 10:00am !! T'zunun not only offers plenty of classic breakfast items, but they also offer a twist of flavors for those with a refined palate. The dinners are layered with robust flavors, the desserts are decadent, the salsas are vibrant-yet earthy and the cocktails are skillfully crafted to your liking! Oh and I almost forgot to mention the tortillas!!! The tortillas are hand made and fresh to order made with heirloom blue and yellow corn- truly a treat! This is the restaurant you want to fall in love with and celebrate birthday's , anniversary's and even lazy-weekend brunches!! They have you covered!“

Our favorite dishes were the focaccia bread, persimmon salad, lamb sliders, and the espresso creme brûlée. We were also excited to hear the menu changes every season - looking forward to our next visit.

“Spectacular !! Super fun. Great food. Bend over backwards to make sure your happy service. Love this place. Just not quite sure what to call it. Baxter’s - The Speakeasy - or The Office. Whatever they’re calling themselves, they’re great.Try the scallops . . . and the bread pudding.“

“Love this place been going for years!“

“KARAOKE NIGHTS ARE FREAKIN AWESOME!!! Especially Friday night! Huey is an EXPERT KJ!“

“Planned a “Girls Trip” to San Francisco and arriving late in the evening. I knew we’d be hungry and wasn’t sure what would be open and didn’t want fast food. So I pre ordered their “To Go Box” Raquel was absolutely helpful and professional when corresponding to my inquiries. Had it delivered directly to the hotel and it was waiting at the front desk (refrigerated in the back) when we arrived. The hotel staff said this was the best and most beautiful charcuterie box she has ever seen! Oh how we enjoyed it once we were up in our room! Highly recommend and would definitely order from them again when in town!“

“So recently I got to experience the soft opening of Bentleys upstairs bar inside of the Market and Main store.Needless to say the place was amazing, from the tasty mixed drinks to the outstanding staff and stylish decor.I will definitely look forward to coming here and enjoying drinks with friends. I recommend this place to anyone looking to experience downtown Martinez!“

“OMG 😳 The Ceviche (not counting my wife’s handmade ceviche) is the best I have ever tasted, and I’ve tasted a lot of ceviche. It’s soooo good. I had the Mango 🥭 Avocado 🥑 Shrimp 🍤 Ceviche it was like an explosion of flavors in my mouth, I couldn’t stop eating it. Great tacos 🌮 everything was beyond my expectations. I have probably walked by Puesto’s a hundred times but not anymore it will be my restaurant of choice when in Concord you have to try it. Sorry no picture of the Ceviche 😋“

“Grew up nearby, The Roundup is the oldest bar I remember, could be the oldest bar in Lafayette, or one of at least. Great to see family and friends at this fine establishment“

“I recommend the pancakes.great people .Great conversations with the owners.if you eat here you will not leave hungry“

“It is such a beautiful little place. It has a cozy atmosphere. The food was fabulous. We had a party of 13. We had a wide range of delicious food. Lamb ..Chicken Filet Mignon.. Mussels .. Prawns... Sausage . with pastas spinach mashed potatoes green peppers it was all just so good. I totally recommend“

“Deliciousness for value and warmth for atmosphere. The host is always welcoming and service accommodating. New favorite place for life. 🤓“

“Visited Crush'd for my birthday and it exceeded expectations! The atmosphere was great and you can tell the everything is well thought out, from the decor to the tableware.

We both went with a wine flight and had excellent recommendations from Jamie. Decided to splurge on the sturgeon caviar and it was served with the perfect accoutrement, highlight of the evening. Our server Shane recommended the duck fat potatoes (the Aioli was mindblowing) and Wagyu Tartine, both were fantastic!

Cannot wait to go back, 11 out of 10!“

“I almost hate to share my review, I want to keep this place all to myself! Every aspect of our second experience was 5 Star! This is a hidden little gem north of Ygnacio on Broadway, away from the HELL which is downtown Walnut Creek! Plenty of close parking, it’s really nice and quiet at this end of town. Great for romantic dinners or dates. Great bar, big tv’s if you choose! It’s a winner!“

“They have a breakfast special sign outside, I asked about it after waiting to see if they'll offer the special, they held out the menu for me to "view" it, so I was unable to get a photo. Odd. Everyday is a different special. Got no water but did order a hot chocolate. This is a very pricey place, at around 17.95 a plate. My toddler kept seeing the sign and wanted to come so we made the best of it and got the special, which was a sandwich and a single pancake on the side.“

“Wonderful staff, food is fresh and delicious. Consistent quality and warmth of environment. - Don Dikun“

“Bar Cava is a Martinez is an experience.. make sure you don’t miss it! … or you’ll have FOMO! Yep! I said that! It’s that awesome! Tell all you friends! (Or they’ll be mad with you) BC is the bar with it all!“

“You have to go at least once. I like the staff and the bar is close to the water with good outdoor seating available. They have bar food but have a good dinner as well. During the warmer months, they had outdoor music on Sunday's, but the owner was talking about getting some full-time entrainment at some point.

Parking: Parking can be tough at times

Kid-friendliness: Kids are allowed, just not at the bar.“

“This hidden gem was delightful! Everything was delicious, from the lemon and cucumber flavored spa water to the crème brûlée.“

“Had the Brussels sprouts, polpa, cacio e pepe and a pinsa with broccoli and spicy sausage (forgot name)
We’ve been traveling yearly to Italy for over 15 years and sometimes twice a year.
The polpo rivals the one I had in santa margherita ligure and forte de Marmi. The cacio was as good as in Rome and the Brussels sprouts were amazing. I prefer Napoli pizza but the pinsa crust was amazing. Recommend“

“Absolutely wonderful food and service. Will be back to try other delights.“

“We love MSK and have been enjoying family dinners here for a couple years now. It’s kid friendly but fancy enough for foodie parents. It’s family owned and strives to carry local seasonal ingredients.“

“I have only been here twice during the day but, so far but each time the food was absolutely the best I have had in Danville. The ingredients are imaginative and exceptionally tasty. What I also appreciate is that the chef’s menu changes which makes it exciting. The exterior is not much and could be improved, but that may keep the crowds away for a while which makes it easier for me to look forward to bringing friends and enjoying a charming meal!!!!“

“I was looking for sushi, I decided to go here and I was fascinated, excellent service and they have a variety and very fresh. I recommend that you make a reservation. The tables are tight, I think it would not be comfortable for large groups. Obviously I will return ??

* I'm putting up photos of the dishes I tried.
** I forgot to take a photo of the grilled octopus but it is delicious.“

“Delectable, superb food presentation, good quality of ingredients, perfectly cooked especially the steak & lamb. Friendly & attentive staff. Cozy atmosphere & clean restaurant. Highly recommend ELIA!!“

“Our favorite Mexican restaurant!! The Ahi Aguachile (sashimi dish) was amazing, as was the Chicharron Tacos (pork belly). Service is fabulous and the people are fantastic.“

“This place is great! My first time there... We were greeted by a lovely woman named Janet who was friendly and eager to make sure everyone was taken care of. We sat in the bar at a high top table and order cocktails and dinner, both of which were top notch. I will definitely return and recommend to others.“

“The sushi was really good“

“longport is delicious food served by a friendly face at a fast pace, in a good way. I'd recommend this establishment to anyone who loves sea food but, luckily if you don't like sea food, they have some other fun dishes for you.“

“Love this place Great service“

“Top rate place to eat. First of all the noise level is low. We had a wonderful seat for 4. The service was the best ever. Very patient and asked of several times if we were ready to order. Most places on a Friday night just want to rush you out. And then the food was so fresh and tasty. I was able to order their wonderful soup and an appetizer. Just the right amount to eat for an older person. Others had the scallop dinner and the ribs. And one person ordered a hamburger. I highly recommend the place..“

“Drinks Galore, if you want to be impressed by an atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re in a jungle and make memories you want to remember check this spot out.

They even have the drinks you can set on fire… this one is the

(Fire Bowl drink Mo’o Bowl)
(Blue Hawaiian, Song of the Siren)“

“Had a wide variety of foods on the menu. I personally thought that the appetizers for the most part were better than the main dishes. The desert was amazing!! One interesting menu item that was surprisingly good was the pear quesadilla. The staff was incredibly friendly as well. Least favorite food item here would be the chicken wings!“

“Great place to meet and grab a drink 🍸“

“Love.this.place.100% AWESOME! From the moment we walked in, we felt like guests in a welcoming place, after a long day of appointments, we were in search of refuge in the form of chips and salsa, a stiff drink and maybe a plate of nachos before an hour long trek back home to SF. We had the street tacos, rice and beans with chips and salsa. Delicious is an understatement! If you want awesome food, a nice place to eat, indoors or out, OR you prefer street side at a table to people watch, indoors for air conditioning, or there's ALSO - the back courtyard with shade and privacy, plenty of seating, fans for hot days or heat lamps for cold nights... THIS PLACE ROCKS! I may regret telling people how awesome this place is but it needs to be recognized. We are picky. This is only my 2nd review...EVER. Thank you, 709 <3 Joel and Heather“

“First time stopping by here after work. I started at the bar to order some happy hour drinks and appetizers and then moved on to a table with friends. The bartender and server at the table were great. The atmosphere inside was very chill, not too crowded, and had people from every walk of life. I would definitely be coming back. My only thing was the chicken wings I ordered were supposed to be salt and pepper but came out with little to no seasoning. I did try the fries, and they were decent.“

“We had a great time after a dinner date at Bar Camino. The first round of drinks took a while to get to us, but it was worth the wait! Pepé Jefé was our server and he was the best! Can't wait to come back and see him. First round on him ;)“
