“I’ve enjoyed visiting Sunrise Bistro for breakfast. The convenient parking and manageable wait times make it a hassle-free spot for breakfast or brunch. I’ve tried a few dishes, like the carnitas and eggs, but my favorite by far is the smoked brisket and hash, which has become my go-to order. The only area for improvement would be the coffee. Better quality coffee and fresh creamer would really elevate the breakfast experience. Overall, it’s a nice place to dine in for breakfast or brunch.“

“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.“

“Pastrami sandwich only had 3 pieces of meat on it. Not happy.
French fries are AMAZING.
Our family likes their hamburgers too. Went on Sunday at 4pm. Not busy, but
It was too noisy(loud music) and echoing, couldn’t talk easily.
Our waiter was great and knew the menu.“

Fries were awesome. Also had the Burrata for the appetizer which was great. Draft beer selection could have been better but had a good beer I do like.
$135 including tip for 1 app, 3 drinks, 2 sandwiches. Was a nice dinner date place.“

“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.“

“The food was absolutely incredible and very well prepared. The service however was less than satisfactory. The Server walked up after an "almost" irritating wait and dropped off water and said she would be back. After another now irritating wait, she comes back and says, "What do you want for dinner?" We both said, can we start with a drink? So, orders placed, drinks come just as it starts to become noticeably irritating, and she apologizes for the delay. The food arrives and is absolutely amazing. She checks back after dinner to see if we want anything else and then presents the check. We give her a give card with a very large balance which has been successfully used at two other nice restaurants recently. She comes back and says the card doesn't work and usually doesn't work for them as their systems are old and not up to date. Don't know if we will return, but the Chilean sea bass and the Steak Frites were amazing.“
