“A lovely meal. The chef is super creative in the use of vegetables and original sauces. Nice selection of wines by the glass, which our server was happy to let me taste before ordering. Highly recommend the cauliflower starter and the chickpea risotto, which were quite exceptional. The baked cod however was a bit too salty. And we needed to order some bread to cleanse our palate afterwards. They did offer to remake the fish which was thoughtful, but it would have interrupted the flow of our dinner at that stage. That said, it was a great experience overall. And don't skip the s'mores desert!“
“Delicious meal.Although seemed odd that there was an effort to slow things down and enjoy the farm to table food style yet forced to use a frustrating QR code menu. Perhaps that made sense during covid, but didn't add to the experience“
“Visited on a Saturday evening,without a reservation and it was understandably busy. We couldn't be seated for dinner so we opted for the bar but it was full (I know why!) So we walked around a bit had dinner elsewhere and returned about 1 hour later. Though it seemed to get busier, two seats at the bar freed up and we jumped in. It was totally worth the wait. The drinks were great! You can taste the craftsmanship in every drink. I'd definitely return, and this time with a dinner reservation.As a bonus, there was a live DJ and he was playing some good Spanish jams! (I was pleasantly surprised!). Can't wait to come back for another date night here.“
“Ambiance is arty, comfortable and lovely. Menu had great choices and the 3 of us were so pleased with our choices. I brought home the leftovers and they were just as delicious the next day. We had the mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, shrimp and the crab ‘taco'. The winter sangria was delicious and full body with rich red wine and port YUM just right for this time of year!“
“Had veal piccata with creamy polenta (not on the menu - I asked and they made it for me!) and the Pesto fettuccine. Didn’t have reservations on a Wednesday night but got seated right away. Food was AMAZING! Drinks and wine menu were solid without being too expensive. Hidden Hayward gem.“
“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)“

“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.“
“It's a Friday night. Decided to stop by here before picking up the stepsons from OAK airport. Their flight was delayed. We got here around 10:30 pm. We got parking right across the street. The place was still relatively empty except for folks at the bar. Apparently it's Karaoke night. Some guy was singing "My way" I kid you not (see the video below). The lady and I got a good table. The place filled up within 30 minutes. The clientele reflects the community around San Leandro. Quite diverse. Staff seemed to know the table of bikers that came in. Atmosphere is chill, despite the loud bangers between karaoke songs. DJ was cuttin' it up with Yay Area club classics. We had the lumpia and the lemon pepper strips. Lady had Diet Coke while I had a pint of Sierra Nevada. The staff is friendly and attentive.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Frank's Sports Bar and Grill is an awesome place that you have to visit. My guests and I l enjoyed a delicious meal and good time at this venue.It has plenty of parking and is located immediately next to the railroad track off Marina Blvd.My experience started with finding a convenient parking space within its own clean and orderly parking lot. Pride of ownership and management was visible throughout. It had well marked parking spaces with plenty of handicap spaces. Entry was side and welcoming and free of stairs.Depending on which door you enter through, the space inside is cavernous and tables and chairs are well spaced out. Wheelchair using guests will not have any trouble getting around in here.A full and well stocked bar was located at the North end of the building while the kitchen was at the West side. The kitchen turned out to be a, seemingly, seperate business called "Porque no? Tacos." it has a vast menu of food items. Everything we tried was overflowing with flavor and obvious care in its presentation. The chips were thick and perfectly seasoned and their salsas, OMG, they were the bomb (delicious).Everything ordered was delicious just as they arrived. However, because of their amazing salsas, every taste was magnified.You order at the counter and get a numbered marker. The food is brought to your table bring shortly after.The staff was friendly and welcoming both at the bar and the kitchen.We lucked out that night, it was a Wednesday night. As we ate and dranked we learned that the place was having karaoke that night. We stayed for that and joined in.Jose, the KDJ was friendly and welcoming and seemingly able to play anything requested (except explicit song - some families were having dinner). The system used for karaoke was impressive and filled the place with sound without overwhelming it. We could easily enjoy our conversation and those singing without any problems.Bottom line, I highly recommend visiting this place. Wednesday night Karaoke was a blast with a mix of English and Spanish singing crowd. You will likely enjoy it as much as we did. Thanks Frank's.“
“Johnny's is a "neighborhood" bar. You can stop in after work, watch a variety of sports fames, billiard table (1). Beer and a shot 12 taps. The folks behind the bar "echo" your greeting. Say "hello" and walk in; pull up between a patron at the bar and Wait patiently to place your order.“
“Menu and food preparation are very tasteful and delicious. Service is great but ambience is noisy, especially in the evening. They really need sound dampening as conversations at neighboring tables block discussion for all others around. Too bad they haven't figured out how to create a relaxing ambience for their great food selections.“
“Came here with my good friend for drinks and appetizers later afternoon. Staff were super friendly and professional - appetizers were top notch and beautifully presented - and found my favorite wines on their list too. Highly recommend it for friends, anniversaries or even business meetings. Wish we had known abt the rooftop…..“
“I visited Off the Record and thought it was a good restaurant. It had a nice atmosphere, and the service was good. But most importantly, the food was delicious. I would definitely go back. They even gave us free rice when we ordered an item for takeout.“
“Another one of my childhood favorites. I remember summers where I would come down to El Portal with some friends and order what I could with my allowance money. I'm glad to see that the restaurant has not changed and the food is still delicious like always. I ordered the chicken fajitas and it came with three corn tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, rice, beans, and some lettuce. It was smokey and seasoned really well, my only gripe is that it was really salty. The horchata I ordered really helped with that. The horchata was creamy and sweet. The birria tacos were delicious, the meat was tender and really juicy. I loved the consume that came with it. It is lacking in the spice department, I wish it had more oomf to it.“
“A chill place to visit in the Manor section of San Leandro. You could classify this place as a dive bar but it's actually a quite dynamic bar based on the time and day of the week. You've got the retired one older crown from morning tood afternoon, the blue collars in the afternoon to early evening and the younger crowd later on.They boast a free pool table, two electronic darts boards and a free shuffle board. On Fridays they have an amazing karaoke night that continues to outdo itself. The one constant is the bartender Stacie..She has the heart of a saint, the temperament of kindergarten teacher and the sass of a young Dolly Parton. She pours a mean cocktail and always keeps the place.in high spirits..I highly recommend“
“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“
“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.“
“Who isn't all about an aesthetically cute place serving great food? Getting together with my friend, we decided to meet at Farmhouse Kitchen, a place we both enjoy! This was my first time at their Menlo Park location and aside from the space everything else is similar--Instagram-worthy decor, elegantly styled dishes, and warm service. The interior is quite spacious with booths and tables for small and large parties. There's also an outside patio, though the CalTrain is right across and quite loud. We were taken care of throughout our meal by the hospital and friendly workers, without it being overbearing. The thing about Farmhouse Kitchen is that they know how to make their dishes appealing to both the eye and mouth. Dishes include traditional and non-traditional Thai foods. My friend and I both had the Yellow Curry with Tofu and a Side of Jasmine Rice. Though we weren't asked for the spice level, the curry was sweet and flavorful with a lingering spice. It was on the runnier side and I wish we did get more rice to enjoy it to the full extent. Portions were decent and we had leftovers--but note that dishes are on the pricier side. Farmhouse Thai Kitchen provides a cute and creative Thai cuisine dining experience. They have multiple locations around the Bay. Their Menlo Park location is off Merrill Street with limited street parking in the area. This is a place I enjoy going to occasionally but wouldn't seek out.“
“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....“
“Nice atmosphere. Benita, the bar-tender, was great -- approachable, friendly, and willing to take requests for TVs, music, drinks, etc. Lots of regular customers frequent the place, but there are plenty of places to sit. I'll be back when I'm in the area!“
“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“
“Came by here past week and got the hangover with a side of cheese tots This is the antithesis of healthy. Some days gluttony just takes over and who cares about the cholesterols and calories. The hangover could not be eaten by hand. I needed knife and folk to eat this thing. It's a chili burger with eggs. It was very very very good. The cheese tots was interesting. They gave me a separate cup of melted cheese. I dip the tots with it as well as pour some over my hangover burger. Now my chili burger with egg also has melted cheese. What a great idea Didn't take any photos. It was a mess. I actually couldn't finish the tots. The burger by itself is more than enough of a full meal.... need to do a couple hours of cardio to digest... Perhaps I will indulge again when I am craving in and out. I really want to try the sausages...“
“If you want a good drink this is the place to go they will definitely give you a good stiff drink and you will enjoy the atmosphere with the people that are there is never usually too much problems or anything like that so you can go and chill and have a good drink and enjoy yourself especially if you're with some friends nice place nice people in a nice location“
“The Hostess was extremely helpful in making an accommodation since we ended up with fewer in our party and were initially seated at an extra-large table. Even though the restaurant was busy, they were able to move us to a more appropriately sized table. The service by Escardo was fantastic. The food was provided in a timely fashion, and all the food served was properly prepared and was delicious. We have eaten at the Left Bank in Menlo Park many times and the consistency in service and food cooked has been always on the mark. I absolutely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for positive restaurant experience.“
“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.“
“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!“
“It's been a long time since I have been to Casa Orozco. Apparently my friends also thought it was good Mexican food.z. The restaurant hasn't changed much since I have been here might need to work on cleanliness the floor under our table had a puddle of water. The service at the beginning was fast and you couldn't find anyone to refill drink or chips which is where they can improve. The food was good though. Salsa was ok. The taco was better than the enchilada. The kids meal had a variety of items to choose from. The fajitas was good and their guacamole was really delicious. Still serving great food but service was spotty is my only concern“
“We love coming to this place! A nice ambiance, amazing craft cocktails, and outstandingly fresh seafood. They run happy hour almost daily, and our fav day is Tue because they offer half off on their 4 oyster offerings. Highly recommend this “
