“We loved everything about VA de Vi. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. The small plates menu offers a good range of dishes, from appetizers to veggies, pasta, risotto, meat, and fish. We shared the cheese plate, beet salad, tuna sashimi, roasted mushrooms, black cod, and steak. The dessert menu has delicious housemade confections. Beignets, lava cake, blondies, tarte tatin. The espresso was well made.Service was smooth and professional. We enjoyed our visit. Thank you Va di Vi staff.“
“What a wonderful finding. The service is extraordinarily friendly, and the caramel latte is amazing. The ratio of milk to caramel to coffee is ideal, the flavors are all completely harmonious and fresh, and the sweetness is outstanding. Not my favorite coffee I've ever had, but the flavor combination more than makes up for it. Strongly advised!“
“Incredible! This place is truly a gem. Very clean, organized, and lots of products to choose from. I decided to dine-in and try the Beet soup which is perfect for a cloudy day. The flavor is incredible! A huge thank you to the customer service associates that helped me navigate through the store and find the Polish Products that I was looking for. This is my first time here but definitely won't be my last.“
“Love it, incredible quality food and a good value considering how filling it is. The vibe in this location is nice, love the plants and big open space with lots of seating. Definitely order ahead for pickup because Rooted has you order at the counter anyways and then it can be a long line and a long wait. Ordering ahead solves that and it's literally my only complaint about an otherwise really great place. Updated from previous review on 2024-04-03“
“I randomly stopped by this place on the way to the post office for a snack. I didn’t have any expectations but I am blown away by the food. Best Banh Mi I have ever had! The bread was baked to perfection, the ingredients were generous and delicious. I will definitely come back for more!“
“Place is really good food. The owner cares about his product and wants your honest feedback. and they cut the meat right there in front of you so you know what you’re going to get. they go above and beyond to take care of you would definitely be returning. Beef ribs in Saturday.“
“What a hidden gem we have found in Walnut Creek. This quaint coffee shop cranks out brilliant lattes and pastries and is now the perfect lazy Sunday hang out spot for us. Our pup loved watching all the people & their dogs walk by. The place looks like a tiny castle and they have implemented a great system to order and pick up at different spots so that it doesn't get too crowded in one place. Parking is also easy as it's right across from parking lot which is free for 90 mins.“
“Food is really good but what we really appreciated was the service we received from Austin. We had a long day and his bright and fun energy was a pleasant surprise and uplifted us. Being as busy as it was the food came out really quick. We will definitely be back and hopefully more locations like this coming soon.“
“This my favorite pizza. I am a little bummed that they seem to have changed the quality of their toppings though. The veggie pizza used to have large chunks of veggies and now they are more like the other pizza joints. But the customer service is really good, and they have a great vibe/ambience.“
“YOU HAVE TO COME VISIT IF YOU ARE A PICKY SUSHI EATER. It's a simple spot that looks like it's family owned, very unassuming but has the best sushi I had in the Bay Area for a while. Very fresh fish, reasonably priced, service is excellent. It's simply outstanding, please give them a try and you won't be disappointed! The sushi literally melts in your month IM NOT LYING TO YOU go“
“We enjoy coming here for Cali Craft’s open space. They have a big selection of beers and non alcoholic beverages. From time to time, they will have food options by partnering food trucks. I would definitely recommend coming here if you enjoy beers but also it is an easy place to hang. Breweries are pretty great for young families.“
“Beautiful decor of clean modern lines with a Corporate kind of feel. Cloth napkins though & friendly informed staff. We started with a firecracker salmon roll & then enjoyed our mains . The roll was ok but the bowls were truly tasty. I had the Latin chimichurri bowl with a grilled yellowtail cooked perfectly. Topped with a delicious chimichurri sauce. It was served on a salad dressed nicely. I enjoyed everything in my bowl ,Hubby got the Japanese Wasabi bowl. Very good. We both opted for the regular Size which was a little large but we finished most of it. In hindsight we would share a regular size but double the protein which they will add more or different kinds to the bowl for extra. The coffee was served French press style which was a wonderful surprise & quite tasty. All in all would we go back yes. The service was attentive & friendly. All the food was fresh clean and yummy. 5 stars“
“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.“
“It's a nice quiet place to sit outside at lunchtime. There are many places nearby to get lunch to go. You can get a beer at Mike Hess and sit outside to eat with a choice of sun or shade. Parking can sometimes be a bit dicey during lunch hours.“
“So delicious!! Tried the chorizo empanadas and chicken salad. Seriously good. I'm definitely going back! It's also super relaxed. Plenty of space to sit, chill and eat. I went during lunch and it was the perfect way to center myself before heading back to work. Highly recommended. PS they have coffee drinks, and good beer and wine selection. I'll be heading back to try the coffee.“
“I’m not a fan of fried chicken because most places overcooked their chicken and make it so dry, but this place has the most moist chicken ever. I had tender, and the tender was nicely moist, the batter is quite thick on the tender. My bf had chicken thigh part and it was great. My bf ordered the hot one, it’s very spicy but he could eat spicy fine. He said that “hot” level is enjoyable for him. I chose the mild one and I enjoyed it. The server was nice and attentive. He gave us the “hot” level sample to try on to make sure we could handle it before order.“
“This past Saturday, November 18th, we spent the day at Rotator Taproom enjoying a beer and pizza, knowing Arf was going to be there with dogs for adoption. Fast forward, we adopted the sweetest little senior chihuahua and named her Amanda Marie. She's adjusted beautifully and our chihuahua Kobe that we rescued 7 years ago is being the best big brother.We are a family of 4 now.The beers were yummy too!!Great day, thank you Rotator Taproom“
“Great selection of top notch beers on tap and many more in bottle. The bar tender was knowledgeable and helpful in making selections. It has the feeling of an off the path rathskeller in Germany. Prices on bottled offerings can get high as some are rare or uncommon in the US. We did not try any food. They post their taps on the Untapped app. A great place to try a beer you might not find anywhere else and have good conversation with a friend.Parking: Metered start parking with extended meter hours.“
“I recently dined at the Walnut Creek Yacht Club and came away with mixed feelings. On the plus side, the food is always well-prepared, a testament to the kitchen's consistency and skill. The Chelsea Gem oysters were a standout, arriving at the table perfect in every way and setting a high bar for the rest of the meal.However, not all dishes reached this level of excellence. The halibut with citrus butter, while very good, didn't quite live up to expectations, lacking a certain special touch that would make it memorable. Similarly, the clam pasta fell short of the mark. It was quite bland and suffered from an overabundance of butter, overshadowing the clams themselves.In summary, while there are definite highlights like the impeccable Chelsea Gem oysters, some offerings could benefit from a bit more inspiration and balance. The Walnut Creek Yacht Club has the potential for greatness, but a little more attention to the flavor profiles of some dishes would go a long way.3.5 stars.“
“This place is a long time favorite of mine. The BLTA and egg sandwich is amazing. Sad that lately they stayed up charging for every little thing like extra mayo and crunch, which have always been included in the already high price before.“
“Had a Detroit combo and the Frank's buffalo hot wings. Wings were crispy but will not try again. Pizza is the best I have ever had, worth the atrocious wait time. Will do it again as a special treat, our Detroit Pizza and wings fed 4 people.“
“Very friendly service, good food, reasonable prices and a nice atmosphere. They do both Thai and Japanese menus including sushi and sashimi. Excellent value lunch deals during the week. I particularly like the yellow curry and orange peel chicken. My kids love the poke bowl.Vegetarian options: Most dishes are available with tofu in place of meat protein.“
“Actually delicious. We’ve had a lot of sushi in the east bay and this was easily the best takeout - fish was fresh, cuts were generous, and seasoning was interesting and delicious. A little expensive for normal sushi takeout in my opinion but a nice monthly treat! We’ll be back to dine in!Dietary restrictions: Gluten, dairy, egg free“
“Super busy and very few seating options that have power outlets to work. Overall WiFi speeds are decent and reliable. The cafe is bustling and high on playing music. Based on your work and style you make the choice. Coffee was served in typical Starbucks style. Recommended.“
“5 stars! I love this location. They have also been so great especially when it comes with delivery. I live a few blocks away and they deliver at a timely matter. The other day, there was an app glitch. Apparently my pizza (which I always order the same every time) had the wrong added topping. I called and they fixed it right away. Either way, if you are planning on having a kids or gathering party at the franchise, it is a MUST! The staff is kind and the managers are great and they all car! Also if you order delivery, I suggest to tip the driver separately, especially since they are delivering for you! Don't miss out and come have their pizza!“
“LOVED this place, just wish it was a little bit more affordable and the seating was spaced apart more. We got 3 different types of empanadas and they were all super yummy, don't sleep on the mushroom one it was AMAZING! We ordered a seafood stew, the pork adobo, fries, and 2 cocktails and everything was very good! We don't usually have Peruvian food though so I can't speak to its authenticity but it sure was delicious! My favorite had to be the seafood stew, there was an abundance of seafood and the sauce is just to die for! Definitely a great date night spot! The only reason this is getting a 4 is because our seat was pretty cramped and we there were ppls chair backs pressed right into our table.“
“When visiting this fine Italian restaurant, be sure to order the Sunday gravy. It's basically every type of meat poured over by a delicious Italian red sauce, and then placed on top of a pile of spaghetti. The drinks were also prepared very well. The line is long so call ahead and make a reservation.“
“Both of us had breakfast. As one would probably expect, the very best part of the meal was the bacon. It was delicious. My wife had apricot pie and really enjoyed it also.Parking: Free parking lots in front and back plus paid street parking.“
“I ordered a cappuccino with whole milk and a feta brioche. The coffee is a solid three stars. The beans they used were way too fruity for espresso.The feta brioche on the other hand was hella good. If this place was a pastry only bakery, it would be a solid five stars.I’m giving it 4 stars. Great pastries, mediocre coffee.“
“Several things that I like about this place that distinguish it from other wine shops:- It's less showy than Kermit Lynch, less overwhelming than KandL, and has much better variety than Total Wine - The Riesling selection is excellent and there's a lot of aged Riesling from not-as-well-known producers - The prices are generally fair and there are occasionally good discounts; this is *not* a place that's overloaded with high-end Burgundies and there are plenty of wines in the ~$20 range- The website is kept up up-to-date with new arrivals and accurate prices (this is very helpful and makes the inventory easy to look through before you get there) Igor is enthusiastic and happy to let you shop or talk through a recommendation. The weekly tastings are great too and there's sometimes even food trucks. Worth signing up for the newsletter to keep track of what's happening. It is a fairly small operation, so you're not necessarily going to get a lot of legendary wineries coming in for events or a lot of bells and whistles, but I like what they're going for here. Definitely a great neighborhood wine shop.“
“It’s great, but keep in mind their “extra hot” is extremely mild. I’m sure they’re catering to the clientele, but I want to be able to order food at a spiciness level that causes me physical anguish. They need an “I expect this to give me caustic diarrhea” level of spiciness.“
“My first visit to Lita's was an amazing experience I will never forget. Our reservation was for a party of 5. We visited around 6:30pm, on a Thursday evening. We were celebrating two birthdays. Street parking was very convenient. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by the one and only Chef Sean Streete. After a brief conversation, we were led to our seats my the hostess. There was a moderate amount of patrons dining inside and outside. The music playing provided a really nice vibe. The kitchen had an open view so we were able to see the cooking crew busy at work. Once seated, the waitress approached and gave a little history on Chef Sean. She then took our drink orders. A few minutes passed then our drinks arrived. We then placed our food order. We ordered the black pepper shrimp and shrimp ceviche, the Cassava Risotto w/steak, braised oxtails w/rice & peas and sweet plantains. We also enjoyed Lita's house made chips & dip, Caribbean street corn, coconut braised pork belly tacos, pineapple upside down cake, key lime curd, chocolate passion cake and Lita donut holes. Order any of the above and you will be pleased. Our servers were wonderful, very friendly and knowledgeable about the meals. Chef Sean came out toasted and conversed with us. He even wished the birthday ladies a very Happy Birthday. We enjoyed great service, great food/drinks and the ambiance was awesome. We are forever thankful to Chef Sean and his crew. We will definitely return. I highly recommend Lita's for a wonderful dining experience. Lita's get two thumbs up.“
“This is a casual place, very large with picnic type tables and a few booths. I ordered at the counter, paid by credit card, and paid the suggested 15 % tip. In retrospect, I should have just paid the bil in cash and left a small cash tip, since it was entirely self service. I was given a pager to notify me when my order was ready. Now for the best part, the food. I ordered the plain hamburger, fries, and a Pliny.draft beer. The food was very good. The hamburger came well done, which was fine by me. I don't know if I could have ordered it medium well done. The fries were crisp and dunkable in their very tasty ketchup. There is outdoor seating. They had an extremely lengthy and diverse menu.Vegetarian options: Many "Impossible" brand selections.“
“I have been seeing this restaurant for a while and finally decided to give it a try. We went there for lunch and it was pretty empty because it was raining but I still like the beautiful blue vibes around the restaurant with cute chandeliers which we're giving very Turkish vibes. For food we got lentil soup, pepperoni pizza (so happy it's halal), kefta kabob plate, chicken and beef shawarma bowl, beef shawarma wrap (which was loaded with meat), and chicken fries. Everything was super fresh and piping hot. We loved everything cause it was so delicious, fresh and colorful! Will definitely come back!“
“I came to this location to pick up my mobile order, upon arriving I realized I had placed my order in a completely different location. When I went to reorder the cashier told me not to worry they would get my order out to me with no additional charge. Very kind of them to do that, additionally as I would have been a mobile order a barista immediately started on my order effectively allowing me to cut the line so to speak. It actually made my day as I was already running a bit late to work.“
“Indy was the person working the counter. She was extremely helpful and polite. I received better service here than at a sit down restaurant. I had a complicated order and she made sure our 1 to go order was made separately for a member of our party who joined us later. All the employees went above and beyond. Strongly recommend checking it out.“
“The All Berry Croissant is delightful! I enjoy the food, service and ambiance. This store is like a cozy place to curl up to in the rain or just meet with friends to catch up. It never disappoints. I am excited to see the renovation once it is complete. Also if your order two weeks in advance you can get a delicious order of petit fours. These small oven cakes kind of remind me of Marie Antoinette's history table of goodies.“
“Yes sir, still good. The order taking was friendly and efficient. The young ladies in front were not too friendly though (like they are doing you a favor in ringing you up would go 5stars for the food and price, but now will need to think twice about the lack of friendly cashier service. Really hate to do that because if they just smiled or seemed thankful for your business I would rate them 5 stars like I did before. However, it's a good deal for sandwiches.“
“We are so lucky to have the Creekside Grill in our community! The food is great, the service is friendly, and the environment is beautiful. The salmon is delivered daily, and always perfectly cooked. There are several salads to choose from, and the lamb shank is one of the best I have ever had. If something isn't perfect, then they will make it right if you speak up. Our latest fave is the salmon mousse appetizer! They even serve special menus on holidays, and one of my nephews remarked that his Thanksgiving dinner was the best meal he had EVER had!The staff are so caring for those with mobility issues, often helping those that need to use walkers or wheelchairs.A very special place that we frequent often.“
“It's becoming a regular thing for me to get my caramel macchiato every Sunday,after dropping off my husband to his work.i would go to the Peet's Coffee in Walnut Creek FOOD Nothing to specifically need to mention, except I just found out that their Chicken Waffle is no longer available. I was told that it was seasonal. Bummer! Please bring it back. I ordered the frittata instead. SERVICE I'm writing this review due to this category. The staff is friendly. While I was waiting for my drinks, one of them (an Asian guy) offered me a tray and a stopper. He didn't have to, but the thought of him offering them shows that he cares-- that he knew I was bringing the other coffee to someone else. Thank you! AMBIENCE It was a Sunday morning, lots of people. You may think that this is another Peet's chain. But I beg to differ, due to their great customer service, I highly recommend and will come back to this location (@ Locust St) in Walnut Creek!“
“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.“
“Starbucks has consistently been a delightful experience for me. The staff is incredibly friendly and goes out of their way to make customers feel welcome and appreciated. What amazes me the most is their ability to remember my name, even though my last visit was a whopping 8 months ago. This level of personalized service truly sets them apart.The ambiance at Starbucks is one of its standout features. The location is close to a beautiful fountain and pond, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. It's a perfect spot to relax and enjoy your favorite Starbucks treats while immersing yourself in the calming surroundings.Speaking of treats, my personal favorites at Starbucks are the Pink Drink, coffee cake, and Impossible sandwich. The Pink Drink is a refreshing and delicious beverage that always hits the spot. Pair it with their delectable coffee cake, and you have yourself a winning combination. And let's not forget the Impossible sandwich, a plant-based option that satisfies even the most discerning taste buds.Overall, I highly recommend Starbucks - Bancroft for its friendly staff, inviting ambiance, and mouthwatering menu options. Whether you're looking for a quick caffeine fix or a place to unwind, Starbucks delivers an exceptional experience that keeps customers coming back for more.“
“Quesadilla was good.Parking is horrible. You have to pay for it.Table was not clean. It should have been clean given it was empty at the time we came in.They charge extra for everything. It is definitely more expensive than at most Mexican restaurants.“
“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.“
“Love this boba place! I’ve tried several places but this is by far my favorite! The boba is super tasty, and they have lots of flavors. The people working there are nice, and it's a comfy place to hang out. If you like boba, you gotta check it out!“
“pretty roomy, okay service. great and affordable food. Annoying Computer for taking orders. I prefer that when i am tipping i at least talk to the cashier. their method makes the tip feel like a fee rather than for the customer satisfaction. i prefer that the service charge be padded to the food cost and let tipping be for customer satisfaction.“
“I hosted an end of the year party and retirement celebration for my school colleagues. We went with the BIY option and guests really enjoyed making and baking their own pizzas!The pizzas themselves received rave reviews from guests…some went back for seconds! The pizza was delicious and cooked so quickly and to perfection in the pizza ovens which were super simple to use. Everyone had a great time and expressed how much fun they had and what a unique idea it was to have for the party.Kellie Joe was so easy and pleasant to work with. Throughout the entire process she was easy to get in touch with and clearly explained all the steps necessary to ensure the event was a success.Would definitely work with Kellie Joe again and plan another pizza party!“
