“I've never had a bad experience nor bad meal here. Oasis is the place to come eat any day of the week. Natasha is an amazing waitress who should do a training seminar around the country on how to treat guest, knowing the place that you work for and the food they serve because she was absolutely amazing with suggestions and service. Even the chef came out to great us and apologize for the wait to get our food. The ambiance is perfect for any occasion. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY. BTW, you can't go wrong with anything here as everything was fresh and delicious. Sorry no pics this time as we were hungry from Easter service.“

“Have eaten here quite a few times with good food, however, my last visit was below average. We had the trout clam chowder which was just ok, not hugely tasty and the tikka massala which was a bit bland. The flatbread/naan was a bit underdone and the truffle didn’t really go with the dish.I think it may just have been a one off because it’s usually good but prices are not cheap so I expect more every time not just most of the time.“

The restaurant does offer tasting specials for items not on the menu (individual items on the special menu may also be ordered a la carte) but I would appreciate it if the regular menu could be revised from time to time.“

Middle 8 Bar • $$
310 Main St D, Pleasanton

“FINALLY a spot in downtown Pleasanton that stays open past 10 pm! Thank Goodness. Dancing, chillin, catching up with friends and making new ones is now possible at a later hour. This is often where we all end up after the brew crawls, or birthday dinners. They have nice seating, photo ops, clean restrooms, and tasty beverages. I always have fun, and I want to give this spot 5 stars- but I will say that the service is so hot and cold. I don't mean that there is a wait when they're busy, I mean that there is a wait if you're unlucky enough to get one of the stuck up bartenders. Twice now I've had the same arrogant self absorbed dbag sort of stare past me with no interest in taking my beverage request whatsoever. I don't think that every bartender has to give me a kiss on the cheek and do a cartwheel when we walk in, but that smug attitude is so unnecessary. I know that sometimes drunk people can be a little extra, but you chose this job. They're not all unfriendly, some are awesome, and I'll only tip the ones who are decent from now on. The Middle 8 has a smaller bar for private parties. We were there last night for my friend's birthday. Our bartender was great, and some of the other guys should take notes from him.“

“This place is fantastic. Great selection of wine and food, great ambiance, and exceptional service from Scott. We were there for our friend’s birthday and were craving dessert with our wine, which is the only thing they didn’t have (although he said they are working on getting it soon). He actually went to the local bakery (Primrose) and brought us back several dessert choices! 11/10 service, we can’t wait to come back. Was also really impressed with the value for my cab flight and my friend’s bubbly flight with very generous pours.“

“We were in the area as a team for work and went to Baci for dinner. It’s typical of this area that prices are above average and Baci is no exception. However, we really enjoyed the food and the service was particularly good. I had a the 20oz prime steak and it was cooked perfectly - yum! However, I’d skip the lobster-mac-cheese balls as they were pretty bland without the marinara sauce“

“I've eaten here a number of times, but at the window or very near. This evening at Sat away from the window is the main dining room and I literally was unable to see my food almost entirely. I recognized the noodles only because it was what I ordered, but I could see any of the other food. It was disturbing since I ordered with specific removal of items. There are always large groups, they are always as loud as possible.“

“Great pizza and love the green sauce that goes on top. Really makes this place stand out. Wish they had this flavor of pizza (potato, corn, onion) every day instead of a specialty. The waffle fries were also delicious! Service was fast - but it was a bit pricey for pizza, I am guessing because its a nicer place rather than a dominoes. Located in the new "downtown" fremont. Ambiance was good! We were the only ones in there - but i think it would be a nice place for a happy hour (if fremont nightlife ever picks up LOL)“

“We were pleasantly surprised with the food choices and the beer selection. The beer I wanted to try was not on tap but all other beers met our expectations. The falafel plate was great, as well as all the burgers we ordered. Fries, potato salad, and side salad were fresh. The place was not crowded on Friday night after sunset when all the golfers were gone, I guess. Google maps routed us through some back alley but we found the main road on the way out. Plenty of parking and looks like a very secure neighborhood.“

INC 82 Brewing Brewery • $$

“Went here for the first time with my family for a family dinner, and we had an excellent experience. I had the Inc Nachos, which was a massive portion and quite delicious. They make the quest in house, it's beer cheese and it has a darker, richer flavor than most quest and it isn't overwhelming. Everyone else enjoyed their food and we had excellent service (I'd like to give a shout out to the server, but I forgot his name! Brown, curly hair, shaved sides, Caucasian guy). In any event, the atmosphere was good, the beer was good, and the food was good. Excellent location and it wasn't too noisy inside, which is a major issue for many restaurants these days, but not this one.“

The Noodles were on the Sunday stage, Dan doing a soulful interp of Dock of the Bay and they did a passable Hey Joe without a guitarist. Color me glad. Our artichoke ricotta salad and chips was crazy delicious and my pint of Das Brau amber was just what I wanted. Bosco’s could be the center of the entire universe.“

“One of many Korean restaurants in the Bay Area we had to try on our list. This one had a good list of choices and their dishes were pretty big except the chicken wings which always seem to always take the longest to cook.The garlic wings were good but some pieces so tiny that they should not count towards the fifteen pieces. The seafood pancake was good flavor and good size. I really liked the kimchi fried rice, spicy pork and Premium LA Kalbi. The Steamed Egg had no flavor and it had too much soup in it which I thought was weird. We ordered sodas and their Lychee Cocktail for twenty bucks which was a carafe pitcher size. It was pretty good and strong; nothing fancy. We also ordered Bibimap which was pretty big.Choice this Korean restaurant for mom's bday and was satisfied. The prices were on the expensive side. Not a place for a date as it's loud here but good for groups and drinking. Service is ok. They forgot one of our items but at least, they didn't charge us; we did have a big group though. Haha they even told us politely that we had to go as they had awaiting customers. The place is small, and can get crowded fast so I recommend to come early but lots of parking available.“

“We are SF natives! 5 yrs ago After a full day of shopping at the outlets and not wanting to eat junk fast food that surrounded the area. We took a chance and drove to this place about 10 minutes away. And we were not disappointed the food was excellent and exceeded our expectations. Great for sharing and truly house made from scratch. This place should be rated higher and everyone should support them especially in area that’s fullOf frozen franchise restaurants! Every time we go to outlets it’s our go to place. The atmosphere is nice and give them a break for the service, they could check on their tables and ask how everything is but I’m not stickler as long the food is good! I know how hard it is to make money in restaurant business so sometimes service isn’t as affordable to keep a full staff!But hopefully you give them a chance everything I’ve eaten there is great from pizza , a variety of pasta, steak and Brussel spouts. Super yummy!“

The Back Lounge Cocktail Bar • $
7138 Village Pkwy, Dublin - 4.32 miles

“One bartender charged me $17 for a pitcher. I gave her a $20 bill and she took it and said thanks without offering change assuming i was giving her the whole thing. I didn't go back up till the other bartender arrived and only went to that one the rest of the night. I never bothered complaining cause i didn't want any grief. I was there to have a good time so I'm just putting it here instead.Vegetarian options: I guess liquor would be considered vegetarian compliantDietary restrictions: They have light beer and hard liquor and water which would have less calories than some beers and winesParking: There is parking in front but fills up if it's busy. Rear parking is shared by neighboring businesses that leave vehicles parked full time so it varies. I got lucky and found parking very close as I arrived a little earlier than some.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly at all. It's a bar. 21 and over only.Wheelchair accessibility: Barely compliant as it does get packed but they will cater to wheelchair clients.“

It had a nice crunch and tasted amazing, it had eggplant my favorite! We did order the crab balls which were alright but it did come with a yummy orange creamy sauce. The calamari was delicious, always a must. We were a party of 3 and a young daughter and father dining next to us (super empty), I felt the waiter was rushing us! Trending ambiance!“
