“Fresh ahi tuna stack was uber delicious especially if you love sushi. Layers of edamame and cucumber at the bottom, plentiful chopped sashimi grade tuna in the middle and generously minced avocado at the top! YUM -Sorry no photo. I ate it all!“

“Fast food that doesn’t give you indigestion! (5/5 Green Stars) On the downside – the items (e.g., fries) are not dripping in fat. On the plus side, the items are not dripping in fat! It may take a while to get used to the healthier version of fast food, but think of it this way – it’s actually nourishing your body instead of poisoning it. The signature burger, made from organic quinoa and mushrooms is so much better for you than a burger made from meat. Same deal for the planet, with organic and 100% plant-based ingredients. I’m giving Next Level Burger 5/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact for the following reasons: • 100% plant-based. Obvious major benefits to animals, society and the planet. • Organic ingredients. Again, benefits to the planet and society. • All packaging, down to the straws, is compostable. That’s the best way to manage the waste stream for this kind of restaurant. • Next Level has supported groups like BLM and Covid healthcare workers. • Founders advocate for plant-based food to deal with climate.“

“Excellent! We had a great experience!“

“Food was really good. The sliders, tacos, salad, ahi bowl, and drinks were all delicious. Even the Brussel sprouts were great.
The service was pretty slow. It was a Tuesday night, and there were a max of 10 tables with people. There’s no reason it should take 20min for a drink.“

“First visit had a pasta dish, the food was so-so, second visit was for the Christmas Eve menu…..prime rib was PERFECT, service great both times!“

“Fresh yummy food with magical drinks.Excellent service with very welcoming staff.Enjoyed the fritters ,poke bowl and all the other dishes we tried.The outdoor ambiance with great food and company was over the top“

“My husband and I stumbled upon Baxter’s while looking for somewhere to eat for my birthday. It ended up being the best meal we’ve ever had! We had a view of the water, had amazing filet mignon tacos (they were so good, we ordered another round to go), and our entrees were to die for! My partner got the Beef Wellington and it was melt in your mouth! I got the scallops and they were positively delightful! We had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners and not only was he kind, but you could see the pride he had for his restaurant. We loved it so much that we pretty much immediately decided were going there for our anniversary next month. I cannot recommend them enough.“

“best sushi and cheap!!! will come again!!!“

“Great food!“

“Great food and atmosphere for celebration“

“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!“

“Great place to celebrate my moms birthday!! 🎉“

“Totally worth the drive to fish and see Barbara when they open for lunch.. Barbara is totally awesome. Cash only don't worry. There is ATM in the back. Large food and alcohol selection. We had no problems finding a seat on a Saturday afternoon. Plenty of amazing outside seating looking at the lake. Side note my friend comes here occasionally and fishes on the straight. He took me here today and we almost caught a Sturgeon together.“

“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“

“We just had the most awesome breakfast at The Hangout in Martinez. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles. It had just the right amount of crunchy spicy sweet goodness. Fast and friendly service.“

“Incredible staff, very dog-friendly, terrific menu! You will be thrilled! Angela“

“Recently enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Postino's The food was wonderful, and the service excellent. It was a perfect al fresco dining experience“

“Friendly, attentive service. Perfect fish and chips, (crunchy batter, soft, moist fish, un-soggy fries), paired great with a double IPA. Cobb salad was loaded, and very fresh. Iron Horse Trail proximity gives biking and walking options, but there's plenty of off-street car parking.“

“Excellent dining experience. Top notch food as well as a wonderful staff. Great ambiance too!“

“Great selection of beers and wine. I've been back 2 times(many times now) and have had a great time each visit. Nice place to watch sports. The bartenders are all nice, friendly and attentive.I still need to explore the food menu. To be continued...Part 2: the food is amazing for bar food and the menu has many different types to choose from; Burgers, wings, lumpia, wraps, and much more. They offer many different dipping sauces. And some are uniquely made in house.They also offer free wi fi ???Update to review: The food has gotten even better! You will find a full menu with about 50 items and specials every night to keep things new. Every thing I've ordered has been almost gourmet level and delicious. The ownership is doing a superb job on the menu and food preparation.“

“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.“

“this. place. was. FLAME.
the bibimbap and LA Galbi had authentic Korean flavors that i can’t find anywhere else in the East Bay or even SF! the galbi satisfied all of my kbbq cravings and my mom thoroughly enjoyed the dolsot bibimbap with spicy pork too!

the family running this restaurant seems very hardworking and are very friendly and caring toward their customers which we appreciated as well ☺️“

“The food was delicious and quick to arrive. Service was okay. It wasn't very busy and the waiter didn't check in on us often so we would have to flag someone down for water refills. The busser was clearing the table as we were sitting there and would reach his hand out to each person waiting for us to hand him our dishes.“

“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.“

“Love the 🍱 of course💕always delicious and great service!“

“Comida nueva en promoción“

“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“

“Great bands, friendly staff, excellent vibes“

“Food is always good. Can’t go wrong 😁👍🏼“

“Camarones 🍤 coconut muy deliciosos me encantaron“

“All I’m gonna say is don’t sleep on the marketplace Café.

This place is great for simple eats like soups, salads, and sandwiches but the spicy shrimp Pomodoro and the pepperoni and mushroom pizza were surprisingly tasty. They also have seasonal specials like birria pizza, yum!

The pizza reminded me of the pizzas that you get at an artisanal pizza joint. It was handmade and executed really well.

The blackened salmon Caesar is so delish and I order it frequently for lunch.

My server Oscar was pleasant, kind and attentive.“

“I love this place! Love the food, love the ambiance love the service and it’s great for my kids too!“

“Amazing food including the New York steak“

“What a fun night. This was our first time @ Citrus Fresh Grill and we very much enjoyed it. Started with some delicious appetizers that all at the table partook from and all were happy. For entrees between us we tried Fresh Grilled Cod, Skirt Steak, Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Caesar salad - let me just say this - we were a clean plate table because everyone loved their food. The only sad part was we were to full to even look at the dessert menu. Can't wait to go back.“

“This is a restaurant that truly cares about and values its customers. Because we live close by it is a place that we have been coming to for so many years that we remember when the Bistro was only the bar area and the restaurant was the Duck Club. And we always enjoy the service and ambiance. But on a recent visit we had a poor experience with the food. The staff was definitely attentive in trying to remedy things but the kitchen was having an off night. Last week we were craving their delicious onion soup so we made a reservation to go back. From the gracious personal greeting from the hostess to the service and food in the dining room everything was outstanding. And we were told that the staff had been briefed about our previous visit. Both the manager and the assistant manager came by to thank us for coming back and giving them another chance. You can be sure that we will continue to be loyal customers and we are sharing this experience with friends so the word will get out. Thank you Bistro staff for a level of attentiveness and excellence that is hard to find these day.“

“what a wonderful place to have breakfast I have not tried their lunch yet but it was so good and the portions are really big I really enjoyed myself with my family.“

“Early dinner. Everyone had a salad. All fresh. Waiter was thoughtful, efficient, mindful we had to get to a program nearby. This is a go to place for an evening out local. We had wine and appetizers in the outdoor patio before moving in by the fireplace for dinner.“

“Staff was Awesome! Atmosphere was great.“
