This is a fun spot to get together with friends after a day at the corporate office and hang out at the social office! They've got a good menu and large selection of beer. You can sit down and start a tab on trivia nights (Monday 7p). There's a heated by fire pit outdoor space or some tables inside or at the bar. Parking is street and the staff is friendly but don't expect too much chitchat. They're often busy!

I had a lovely lunch here today. I hand the braut and my girlfriend had the prawn ravioli dish. Our server Patrick and the owner both guaranteed we had a wonderful meal and it was our first time dining in after ordering take out on a couple of occasions in the past. An absolute good use of our time. Music was good too.

Can not recommend more. We brought the entire soccer team (40 people) and sat in the enclosed patio area. The staff was very accommodating. Service was on point. Food was delicious. Drinks were too good. . We will definitely be back.

Extremely poor service for take out and delivery. I ordered via doordash and after 40 minutes, they decided to cancel the order. I tried again the next day and the dasher was waiting for over 30 minutes before they officially confirmed that they were even making the order. I don’t think I will ever order again even though the food is pretty decent.

Sorry no pictures. Here's my assessment of my 1st time here. Food was all good. Service was better than expected. Our server Tim was on top of it the entire time. Here is what we had. Calamari fritta , lemon pepper chicken wings were cooked just right except for one thing. The Calamari, artichoke and bellpeper only had two little pieces of artichoke in it. I love artichoke so I was just slightly disappointed to get only two pieces. Otherwise the appetizer was delicious. We also ended up having the caprice salad and it was tasty. Atmosphere is chill and like I said before the service was better than expected. Looking forward to coming back and trying out Mac and cheeses , Brussel sprouts or maybe one there buggers. 5 out of 5 stars from me .

If we could leave zero stars we would. Tonight's dinner took 2 1/2 hours Service was terrible Food was lukewarm when we received it- we ate anyway because we were hungry, even though they got 2 of our 4 entree orders wrong. The experience was not worth the exorbitant price. It's a shame because we used to really like going there.

This is such a cozy and welcoming get together spot. They have fireplaces, heated outdoor seating, and a lot of open space. Also bocce ball. The food really exceeded my expectations, the brussel sprouts were so good! Cheesy bread was also a hit. Service can be kind of slow, but the place is more casual so it is. expected. Would love to organize a happy hour here!

Can't honestly rate the food because I never received any of my food orders! No appetizers, either of them, and no main course either!! We had a big party that they said they could accommodate but had no plan for us whatsoever, zero! Just came out and yelled out food orders, what happened when someone had the same order? Someone didn't eat, they do have a great atmosphere and it was a very cool place to hold my Dad's birthday!! The food will forever remain a mystery because I will not be going back. I will give credit that the food I saw did look appetizing!

Had an issue with some of the staff not understanding that we had a reservation, we tried to place a group order at the bar and one of the bartenders was rude, said she had to check ID’s but then didn’t come over and said she wouldnt serve the group anymore. I get not accepting a large order but the blatant non-acceptance when the whole group was more than willing to show proof of ID just made the whole group not want to stay for long. Also didn’t have enough ingredients for any drinks on the menu at 10 pm on a Saturday so we only had draft beers or margaritas, and there was literally no music after the live band (which was great to be fair).

Been coming here for like 10 years back when they used to serve chili. It was bomb. Bring back the chili!! Came here many times with coworkers like 3 jobs ago and maybe 20+ times since. My friend who recently passed would only go to Cask and here, and the time I thought I forgot my candles for her bday cake they were ready with matches to sub bc they didn't have candles and did so much to make what was her last bday really special =) Came with a group for a staff holiday lunch and holla to the dude serving us he was almost a one man show! Was feeling the pressure myself bc I recommended this place and after running an anonymous survey of where the team wanted to go we landed here bc my cute nice pretty boss likes this place as much as I do =) Shenanigans! Ahh always a great time - but let's catch up to current...LOOK at this turkey club sandwich! Everybody at my table was like "....oooooh hey whats that?" Loved the fresh CHONKS of avocado. "What did you have for Lunch?" "A RAINBOW"! I'm for real a picky Club B!tch loved and judged them my whole life, and The Office makes the best turkey club on the Peninsula. Hands down. No argument. It's funny bc I heard servers and chefs hate club sandwiches bc they always look so delectable and when someone sees one being served like five other people order it. Def got my tables attention =) But they suck to make its a labor of love for sure. So thanks The Office for doing what you do! PS Seasonal Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale (prob top 3 best beers ever) on tap! Yay!
