“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.“

“Excellent dinner, we sat in the back room with the fireplace and the bar, nice place to sit, maybe not as crazy. Was loud and energetic, had a great and personable server, Carlo. Food was so good, drinks were so good and service so good. They also honored the reservation, having a table for us when we arrived in spite of so many people there.“

“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.“

“We had a fantastic experience at The Cooperage tonight. Even though it was incredibly busy, the service never missed a beat. The food was absolutely amazing and the drinks were just as great—well-made and delicious. A special shoutout to the manager, Sonia, who took the time to come by and check on us despite how hectic the night was. That extra attention really made us feel welcome. Can’t wait to come back!“

“What a fun night. This was our first time @ Citrus Fresh Grill and we very much enjoyed it. Started with some delicious appetizers that all at the table partook from and all were happy. For entrees between us we tried Fresh Grilled Cod, Skirt Steak, Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Caesar salad - let me just say this - we were a clean plate table because everyone loved their food. The only sad part was we were to full to even look at the dessert menu. Can't wait to go back.“

“Amazing food including the New York steak“

“One of my favorite spots in Walnut Creek. Service is always good and everything on the menu is delicious.“

“Had a great time. Other bars were closing at 9pm on a Sunday and these guys were open until 2. I've been going here for years and have never had a bad experience. Tucked away in a parking lot off of the main street. Turn down sos drive and left into the parking lot halfway down the hill, and you'll find it.“

“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.“

“Super kind waitress who took really good care of me and the fam! I’d always gotten some form of pancakes, but for the first time I tried something else. And wow was the biscuits fried chicken gravy sandwich delicious!

Kid-friendliness: Incredibly kind and patient with the three little ones“
