“I cannot say enough good things about Lettuce in Walnut Creek. Every single dish we have tried has been absolutely fabulous and I do not use that word lightly. The flavors are fresh and vibrant, the ingredients are clearly high quality, and you can tell the team puts real love into what they do. Whether you are going for one of their signature salads, grain bowls, or something seasonal, it always hits that perfect balance of healthy and satisfying. It is one of the few places where eating clean does not feel like you are sacrificing taste. In fact, it is the opposite. You will leave feeling nourished and spoiled. The vibe is modern and inviting, the service is warm and efficient, and everything is just beautifully presented. It has become a go to spot for our family, especially when we want something fast but genuinely delicious. Highly recommend for anyone in the Walnut Creek area or passing through. Lettuce is doing something special and it shows in every bite.“

“First time trying this place. It was a game afternoon, but surprisingly not too busy for a Sunday. We skipped appetizers and went straight for the entrées.

Our group ordered the fried chicken sandwich, Ahi tuna burger, regular burger, and shrimp & grits. Most dishes were good, but I had to return the fried chicken sandwich—it was overly burnt and tasted like it had been fried in old oil. I swapped it for the Cooper Girl, which turned out to be excellent. Service was okay, but not particularly outstanding.“

“So pleasant to sit outside with my friend and colleague and enjoy a delicious lunch and a yummy cocktail. I had the Prickly Pear Margarita and the Grand Mere sandwich, which had Brie cheese chicken breast and arugula with aoili on some lovely crusty bread. My friend had the Pear Blosdom cocktail and the Butternut Squasy Ravioli, topped, by special request, with roasted pears! We finished with a Pear tart with ice-cream. It was a most excellent lunch. Our server was very good also. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“They’re on my top 3 places to get a good hamburger. I love their sauces selection, hard to pick one with your side of fries! ?

I have tried most of their menu and everything has been really good in flavor. They are great at getting your food quickly ?“

“Great food and if you like hot, they’ve got it!“

“We had a wonderful birthday dinner at the Citrus Grill. The food was deliciously prepared and well presented. The service was professional and attentive. Chris Presilla (Food & Beverage Manager) and Chef Travis (Executive Chef) were most helpful throughout the planning process. It was a large table of 11. They made the whole dining experience a scrumptious and fun one. It is located in the hotel and may get overlooked. It is a great place for casual dining and for special occasions. The bartenders are friendly and mix a mean cocktail. Check it out.“

“Very good drinks & the chicken wings so tasty also the waitress very friendly“

“Enjoyable and relaxing atmosphere to watch sports!“

“Amazing food including the New York steak“

“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!“

“This place was the single redeeming thing in the area. I got stuck in this commercial cesspool for four and a half hours and wandered around for 3 of them trying to find decent food worth the price or some store that wasn't marked up for garbage. No dice. Finally found this place tucked away, so thankful. Had a couple drinks and chatted with old locals. Definitely support this place. In general I'll be avoiding the area but if I ever find myself there again I'll definitely go in for a drink and to get a brake from the depressing retail area outside.“
