Tapas Restaurants near Walnut Creek, CA

“We decided to try Va de Vi Bistro & Wine Bar after reading about it online. We arrived in the mid-to-late afternoon without a reservation and were fortunate to get an indoor table before the dinner rush.

We started with a Cacio e Pepe Biscuit and wine. I wanted to explore their Spanish wine selection, so I tried all three options in 3 oz pours. We also shared the Beet Salad, made with golden beets, quinoa, and sherry vinaigrette, and the Ceviche Tostadas with mahi-mahi, mango salsa, and avocado. Both were delicious, although my wife managed to claim the third tostada!

For our main courses, we ordered the Paella and Linguine Gamberi. The paella, with saffron rice, seafood, chorizo, and shrimp, was particularly flavorful, and we thoroughly enjoyed the linguine as well. Despite being quite full, we couldn't resist the Dessert for Two, featuring key lime pie and three other small desserts. We managed to sample everything, although finishing it all was another matter!

Service was excellent throughout our visit. Our server was attentive, kept our wine glasses filled, and made sure we never waited long between orders. Other staff members promptly cleared our table after each course.

The indoor dining area was comfortable, and the outdoor garden seating looked beautiful and relaxing. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with delicious food, excellent service, and a pleasant atmosphere. We'd happily return.“

“Love this place Great service“

“went to Havana with my friends and had such an amazing experience! Right off the bat, our hostess Carla was so inviting, friendly, and welcoming. She immediately set the tone for a great night.

Our waitress Patty was soooo kind, friendly, and warm. She made us feel so comfortable and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. Our meal was delicious, and the mojitos were SO good! Everything from the food and drinks to the service made for such an awesome experience.

Big shoutout to Carla and Patty for making our night even more special. I’ll definitely be coming back to Havana!“

“Amazing sushi bar! The fish is incredibly fresh and you can really taste the quality in every bite. Everything we ordered was super delicious and beautifully prepared. Great atmosphere and friendly service — definitely one of the best sushi spots. I will absolutely come back to IKOI again!“

“Really good food and great service.“

“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!“

“I've only been here to drink cocktails and beer, and all the times I've been here it's been crowded with excellent bartender services, and they had a great band playing both times. The beautiful bartender with all the tattoos is a goddess.“

“Tony the owner has done a terrific job in creating a local rotating craft beer house. The staff are tremendously friendly, samples are always available before you get a full pint! Sunday Funday is my favorite, with live music until 5pm. Great place to hangout, have some awesome fried cheese curds and wings, kid friendly as well. Checks all the boxes!“

“This spot is the most absolute amazing food and drinks and service out there. Every single food item I had has been outstanding!“

“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.“

“Growing up in Benicia, you quickly learn which spots hold the true soul of the town. For me, that place has always been Izakaya. Tucked away as a genuine neighborhood staple, this intimate location feels less like a standard restaurant and more like a cozy sanctuary where the lights are low, the energy is warm, and the food never misses.
While the entire menu deserves praise, the spicy tuna roll & hot tea remains my absolute go-to benchmark.“

“I went to kabila's with a party of 8 the food was served buffet style , and everything was good. when we went to pay they refused to let us pay separately so please bring cash“
