“We visited Social Affair with a bunch of friends and tried their cocktails and whiskey. The drinks were superb though the pricing is on the higher end. However the place is awesome for a nice get together. The service is great and the owners are super nice.“
“Delicious drinks. It's inside the curry up now so you get some solid Americanized Indian food there too.Drinks menu is extensive with a solid cocktail menu. 10/10 would go back here. Drinks were delicious. We tried pani puri drink which came with them on the side, the bandit queen which was also very tasty and scotch forward. They also have a happy hour from 4-6 everyday“
“It was my first time here and it did not disappoint. I had a late lunch and I just made it just in time to order the vegetable panino (they stop making these after 3pm). 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!“
“Great food, a bit on the expensive side but ok with us. Great service and very friendly staff. Restaurant is loud and noisy, we couldn't hear each other conversation on the same table without yelling. I am gonna hold off making any cozy dinner rsvp with fiends until this get fixed. Looking forward to it. Really love the food.“
“Just found this place recently, and been there two times afterward! It is absolutely on the top of our Thai places list. Have there Penang and green curries, crying tiger, short ribs, salmon on banana leaves, and few cocktails. Everything was delicious and artfully presented. Salmon was on point and ribs were so soft and flavorful. Craft cocktails were complex and added to the experience.“
“A pizza is not just a pizza at this restaurant. It's very different and very good. They call it a pinsa... cloud like pizza. Their description is accurate. It's crispy outside and soft inside... and delicious. We ordered 2 pinsas. One has the same name as the restaurant and was soooooo good, very tasty. We enjoyed both. Their octopus appetizer was one of the best I've ever eaten. Simple preparation that allowed the quality ingredients to shine. The octopus was fresh and tender... not chewy. My spouse loved the grilled exterior of the octopus. I was sorry we did not order 2 of them. Salome our server was wonderful. Her suggestions about the food and wine were spot on. Her only mistake was not suggesting that I order my own octopus appetizer... Still we hope she is our server when we return. Our next time will be for dinner in order to enjoy their full menu.“
“Pretty good restaurant in Walnut Creek for some classic Italian dishes. The dining space is clean and gives more of an open family feeling to the place. They do also have a nice bar by the front that is kind of separated from the rest of the dining area. The drinks are a little hit or miss here, though. They do skimp on thr alcohol a little bit here, so make sure you order a more liquor-heavy drink or stick with their selection of wines. The food is great and really delicious. There was nothing that our table did not enjoy eating. They do have changing specials, and I highly recommend trying them. The desserts were also very good. Make sure to try their tiramisu since they do give a good portion of it. Overall a great place to take a date or the family.Dietary restrictions: They are able to serve gluten-free pasta upon request.Parking: There are plenty of parking garages if you want to spend money. Not that much free street parking around, though.Kid-friendliness: Good place to take kids for a nice meal with the family.“
“This is a go-to place for business lunches in downtown. On my last visit I had a vegetarian pie and for some reason I was told it's not on the menu this time. I ended up having a salad which was very tasty. I hope this place brings back the vegetarian pie so that vegetarians can give company to the rest of the crowd.“
“Probably some of the best food in Hayward, the service is amazing, the service is professional and the drink ? are delicious.I would call the restaurant a hole in the wall but, the place is bigger than it looks. Offers great ambience with its unique layout.The Clam Chowder is one of the best in East Bay hands down.This is a must try spot worth the drive, you won't regret it.“
“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.“

“Great breakfast place. Get the Breakfast Special. A great deal! High quality ingredients. - 2 eggs anyway you like, one pancake or one slice of French toast with whipped butter and warm maple syrup, pick your meat 2 thick cut bacon strips or 3 sausage links for under $10.Service was friendly and attentive. Tables are spread far enough that you are not sitting on top of each other.In terms of Downtown Castro Valley, JP’s is a great family restaurant with tasty comfort food at reasonable prices. You won’t be hungry after finishing your meal.Parking: Flat, large free parking lot outside of restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Disability parking in front of the restaurant. Plenty of spacing between the tables for folks with mobility issues to wheel or use a walker easily.“
“Same location where it was called Pizza Antica before. The location in Google maps is incorrect and actual location is across the side street from the parking lot.Good food, very good and friendly service. Try the mushroom pizza, salmon, or chicken dish. They also have $7 sangria specials starting on Thursdays every week.The ambience is friendly and the decor is minimalist. The portions are big. You can see the impact of inflation in the prices.If you pay using the QR code (sends you to Toast) it includes tax for calculating tip percentages, which is not great. Hopefully they fix it.Vegetarian options: They will customizeKid-friendliness: Small selection of usual kids items“

“Beautiful restaurant, excellent food, outstanding service. I had the octopus and paella. The octopus was perfect. It's easy to over or undercook octopus, but this was perfect with a nice light char. I thought the paella mixta was a bit fatty and lacked spice and depth of flavor, it was a bit one note. But it was delicious nonetheless and they nailed the crispy rice which is difficult. I highly recommend this restaurant.“
“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.“
“Food and service were above expectations! The menu has plenty of options and our group ordered almost everything lol.. Love this place.! Everyone was so nice and said goodbye on our way out as if we were family. I will most definitely be coming back.!“
“Food is okay. Service is fast and rushed which is okay if you're here for quick in-out meal. We were there as group, almost no time to settle in or enjoy a drink or finish the appetizers, main menu served already. Menu price is reasonable.“
“Love the Doolittle. Remodeled about 10 years ago and has a very good and friendly crowd of people. Recent Thursday karaoke visit was enjoyable. This bar has a great crowd of people. Nobody rowdy and nobody who can't handle their alcohol. I would say people are about 30 years old on average - its not really the place 21 year olds come for their first drink. Remodeled about 10 years ago and it still looks great. If the last time you were here was long long ago you need to see the place. Wooden siding gives it a warm atmosphere - its almost like your in a cabin. You will be blown away with how they did so much with such a small space. This is a very cozy bar. Very friendly. I love the tiny outdoor covered patio. Its great for smoking and the tall fence between the parking lot and the building makes for a comfortable space to be. If you need a place a little more quiet to talk this is your best bet. Karaoke was impressive. There was such talent singing all the songs from mostly 20 years ago. Sappy love songs and other favorite hits. Voices were very very good. I can't tell you how many paid cover bands I listen to that are horrible. Tonight (Friday) I was at the Elevate Lounge and the (paid) singer was horrible. Horrible, horrible. I suppose thats what sparks me to write this right here right now. If your in the Hayward San Leandro area don't hesitate to come here an extra mile.“
“Pasta's is very reliable in terms of service and the quality of the food and drinks. We eat there about once a month. 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.“
“A must try! The scallop risotto is absolutely amazing! The salmon was delicious. Drinks are special. The punch bowl is the way to go. Soooooo good! Our waitress, Kayla, was attentive and knowledgeable. She made excellent suggestions. She made our experience that much better. The manager, Melissa, took the time to come chat with us and make sure all was well. The pastry chef knows what she's doing. Best carrot cake I've ever had. Super friendly staff, great ambiance. We might be back every weekend.“
“First time to 5 Tacos & Beers. They far exceeded my expectation. The service was amazing. Everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable. Just the right amount of service level.The food is AMAZING. We ordered the Chips and Guac. Soooo good. I got the Flatas De Pollo. My wife got the Quesabirria. I can’t rave enough about the food. We have been looking for a go to Mexican restaurant. Thankfully, we just found it. Everything was absolutely DELISH!!We have also tried Bar Camino. That place doesn’t begin to hold a candle to 5 Tacos. Don’t waste your time trying Bar Camino when you can come here. Food is super salty at Bar Camino anyway. Drinks at 5 Tacos were also spot on. I tried a few different Margs. They know what they are doing.Thank You to the wait staff and chef for being such a delight. We will absolutely be back! Can’t wait to eat here again!!Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options. Waitress pointed them out to us as we were reviewing the menu.Parking: You will need to find street parking or park in a nearby paid meter lot. Weekends are very busy. I’ve always been able to find parking though.“
“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.“
“Great presentation, amazing taste and large selection of vegetarian options. Loved this place for the drinks and quick service. I would recommend making a reservation here for the weekends.Dietary restrictions: Menu consists of all the information and the servers are pretty knowledgeable to help guide the selection or accommodate any special requests.Parking: Plan to park in the city parking lot. It is cheaper and closer to the restaurant.“
“Fun decor, slightly nostalgic like a piece of Pirates themed ride for adults. Beware: drinks are very strong (and the liquor is not blended in well to the mixers). Food is just okay but not many choices for dietary restrictions. Staff is friendly but it’s often difficult to get their attention so wait times to order or receive your food/drinks can be long.Overall: it’s fun to check out, maybe for one drink, but it’s not my first recommendation for most people.“
“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.“
“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 was my first time having breakfast at this beautiful Bistro. The staff was courteous and always checking on our table for anything we may need or want. The food was delicious and the ambiance of the Bistro was lovely. We will definitely be going there again.“
“The food was good. There was a mixup with our table. The people at our table hadn't left yet. We ordered in the bar, but before our food showed up, our table was ready. The service was slow, but great when it happened. We all liked our food. The noise level was very loud.“
“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“
“Overall good treatment. Service can be spotty at times, but the place is generally busy, fun vibe, and a good atmosphere to both talk (and hear each other) while also being a little loud is okay. Well balanced food and atmosphere. I do wish they had Dahlmore scotch behind the bar.“
“Have eaten at Cosina Hermanas maybe a dozen times. I always enjoyed their taco plates - a good variety of really good street food! The last 2 times there I ordered two versions of their pork belly. Gotta say, this is the absolute BEST Chicharron Ahumado I've ever had... the spices and technique make these dishes off the charts. I've become passionate over Chef Arturo's truly magnificent pork belly! I cannot recommend this enough!!Happy eating at Cocina Hermanas!“
“Jen is our go to bartender. My Uncle and I always have a great time and great drinks. Best days to go are Wednesday through Friday.?Wheelchair accessibility: You can access through the back door or the front door with a wheelchair just fine“
“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.“
“Great fun Dive bar to check out if you're in the area!! Bar staff is very friendly and beautiful and watching a game or pool is the best at this Bar.. karaoke on Friday are the best in Oakland California you should check this bar out if your near by....“
“Came here on a Tuesday night with my girl and we're from out of town was definitely welcoming and worth the drive and the music was popping and the service was amazing would recommend , the bartender Dee she was so nice and dope would recommend the rainbow shots if you come“
“We had our Easter meal here, and it was fantastic. This was our third time, and every time we have been there the food has been outstanding. We ordered from the prix fix menu made especially for Easter for $65 per person. Find the menu below. Every item we had was amazing, and the portions were quite large. I have had all of those foods before but nowhere near as good. The best part, though, was Andrea. When we mentioned we were heading to Italy soon and asked how to pronounce "Grazie", he actually sat down with us and gave us some phrases to say, tours to go on and what foods to order. He was awesome! I realize they are new here and have some kinks to work out, but I really believe this could be an incredible addition to our awesome town. I'm hopeful the community supports it. Antipasti Burrata Prosciutto San Daniele prosciutto, Fioruccio burratta, EVOO, XX balsamic syrup, garlic crostini Primi Risotto di Zucca Organic butternut squash, arborio rice, onions, butter, cream, vegetable stock, toasted breadcrumbs, touch of nutmeg Secondi Scottadito d'angello Sonoma lamb lollipop, poached chilis & garlic, sauteed red chard, roasted rosemary potatoes, salsa verde Dolci Cannoli Sweet ricotta cream, chocolate chips, pastry shell“
“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!“
“I'd agree that this place pretty much is a solid 4 star. Service is number to table and almost every time hasn't really been anything over par. It's pretty much.... Regular can I take your order, ok, take a seat and wait.The food is hit and miss.Breakfast egg sandwich: 4.5/10 great amount of protein (egg) and fat (avocado) bread is bomb but like almost too crunchy painful to eat lol. But i love it. The only thing saving this Sammy was the sweet pepper chili sauce flavor they put on it otherwise it's bland as hell.Breakfast burrito... don't even know what the heck was inside... def needed to eat it with salsa.. not amazing...3/5Waffles... pretty bomb 5/5Coffee... meh.... Very burnt flavor for me 3.5/5 Hot chocolate 5/5 for my family. I'll be back.The light fixtures are very expensive high end beautiful lights... not just any string lights... they are gorgeous and provide a very beautiful ambiance for the outside where 95% of the seating is located. It's got a back yard patio vibe. Love it. Come here often and will continue.“
“My friend found this place for Happy Hour and it’s been my favorite place ever since. I always get the pickle chips. So good if it’s hot. Tacos are decent too! I’m not an onion rings fan but they service good rings. Wings are decent. Wings are huge and only $5 during HH.Drinks are good. The only con is everything is salty so you drink more. It’s not overly salted, it’s just a lot of salt overall.“
“This is a nice bar to hang out and have a good drink. Drinks will cost you from $15-$20 each. They have nice vintage looking decor and lounge seating. It is very laid back, but has an upscale feel for downtown Danville. I enjoyed my French 75, and will be back with friends for another drink sometime soon.“
“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.“
“I've been to Retro Junkie a couple of times since going to the 80's prom NYE party which was a blast. I also went with my partner to take Salsa lessons and we had a great time. I love the vibe of this place, it's clean, and the staff are really nice. I can't wait to go back for more music and dancing.“
“Best little watering hole ever!!! I've been coming here for over 20 years and love the girls here! Can't beat the prices and the fun environment from all these sassy women!!! Don't pass up this place! It's one of a kind!“
“My absolute favorite restaurant in Walnut Creek. Local, fresh ingredients, farm to table style food. The menu changes often to keep up with the season foods. The cocktails are creative and artisanal, no basic drinks here!From their omelettes to the pasta to the grilled pesto panini- I could eat here everyday!“
“Me and my wife stopped in on Christmas eve in the early afternoon. Not many people in and we had never eaten there. Got seated quickly. Wife ordered the burrito vegano and I got a al pastor burrito. The burritos were huge and the salsa that came with them was amazing and nicely spicy. We hadn't eaten breakfast so having a huge meal was nice, didn't need to eat much for dinner that night. I also had the Mexican mocha which was really nice.We came back a few weeks later on a Sunday, it was much busier and noisier but it is a small place and it was pretty full. We got seated and our server from last time came over to say hi and that she remembered us. This time my wife ordered the tofu fajitas bowl and I ordered the torta ahgada which I was warned was very spicy which was good for me. Food came out quickly for how busy they were. My torta was fantastic and the spice was right on, it cleared my sinuses that was for sure. Service both times was great and the food was spectacular. Will be coming back here often.“
“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.“
