Our server was polite and well informed giving great suggestions when asked what should not be missed. Boy he did not steer us wrong.

“Havana Restaurant is always a vibe. The atmosphere is effortlessly chic, the cocktails are perfectly done, and the overall experience just feels right every time.

Zach, the owner, has created something truly special—you can feel the intention behind it. Jeff, the manager, keeps everything running smoothly without missing a beat, and JP (el Diablo) at the bar is a standout—confident, precise, and always delivers.

It’s the kind of place you don’t just visit once… you keep coming back.“

“Vanessa’s Bistro is hands down my favorite restaurant in Walnut Creek. I like to get out and try new places but yet I always find myself coming back to VB2 for amazing food, drinks, staff, and atmosphere. It’s my favorite place to take friends that have never tried it. If you want to impress in a casual way it’s perfect for a first date or girls night out too. Try the Claypot Rice Or Prawns with mango and garlic butter noodles! Potstickers Chicken rolls All of it!“

“Best vibes for sure! Met Westley who told us about the place during a visit to Napa, and we're so glad we stopped by! It happened to be 80s prom nigh, and it felt like the entire little town of Benicia was there to party. Young to old. Everyone was all smiles, dancing, and courteous. The live band was top notch. Bartenders were personable and attentive. It had a real small town, close knit feel. Everyone knew and loved Westley. Nicest guy. We didn't try any food, so no notes there. Hopefully we'll make our way there again someday.“

“This is one of the best izakaya spots around here. The owners and staff are very friendly, and it looks like they have a lot of regular customers.

I ordered a few dishes to enjoy with some good sake. The yakitori was a bit disappointing since it lacked that smoky, grilled flavor. I wouldn’t recommend it.

However, the steamed clams were excellent—perfect as a drinking snack. The fried herring was so delicious that we finished it in no time. Lastly, I had ochazuke, which was absolutely satisfying and something I’d definitely order again.

Overall, it was a perfect dinner experience.“

Everything is always fresh and delicious, and the staff is consistently warm and friendly. I absolutely love this place.
