“The restaurant is the most authentic and upscale Mexican cuisine in California, and you would never know it. I don't write lengthy reviews, but to summarize: - The food is excellent - The drinks are even better! - The staff is kind and extremely polite/professional (despite what some of the haters say below - I don't have skin in the game here so trust me when I say they are lying). - And they play GREAT live music and carry a very fun, safe, and upscale vibe. Tell your friends about it, because all small businesses struggle and this is one I would personally love to see hit 4 stars+ on Yelp and more importantly bring a sense of cultural awareness to one of the best communities in the Bay Area (WC). Love,“

“We love MSK and have been enjoying family dinners here for a couple years now. It’s kid friendly but fancy enough for foodie parents. It’s family owned and strives to carry local seasonal ingredients.“

“We strongly recommend Montecatini Restaurant in Walnut Creek, California. It's how the Host greets you immediately upon your arrival He is very kind, seats you without hesitation and the presentation is on point. It fills up right away after 6:30 p.m. and reservations are encouraged. A party of 6-8 or 4 to a table works fine. It's quaint spacing, but comfortable. The desserts ? are amazing, be careful. Most entrees are plentiful, salads are nice, and cocktails at your service. Get going and enjoy!“

“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.“

“I have greatly enjoyed every time I've eaten here. The stuff is incredibly quick and attentive, whether I've chosen to eat or order out. When I do choose to eat in, I've always enjoyed the atmosphere that seems to accommodate all types. And I don't have any complaints about the food, as I've either cleaned my plate or been really happy with the leftovers I get to have the next day.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly appetizers for growing eatersWheelchair accessibility: Ground floor, ramps from parking lot, did not check out bathroom for accessibility“

“If you want a large variety of beef, chicken, lamb and shrimp this is the place to go. I tried just about everything and all had great flavors. The beef rib was my favorite. The salad bar had all fresh veggies, fruits deli meats, salmon lox. Too much to list. At 75.00 per person its not a place i would visit frequently, but well worth the price.“

“My favorite breakfast place ever! We try and come at least once a week. The staff is so kind and friendly and let us chat with them which we really appreciate. The food and drinks are delicious and all plant based. We love the breakfast Sammy on a croissant . They have lots of seating inside and outside. We love sitting at the counter when we can. Also it is family owned by the nicest couple“

“So I've been to Dumpling Hours probably a dozen times. I love this place. I love it even more having recently visited Doh! Zone a couple blocks away over by Five Tacos and a Beer. Don't bother going to Doh! Zone, a Dumpling chain. Do they even make their dumplings in-house like the hardworking folks at Dumplings Hours, I mean you can WATCH them make the dumplings right there!! Dumpling Hours is sooooo much better. They have cracking good wings and garlic green beans as well which are fantastic. But their Xiao Long Bao are wonderful, full of delicious broth, with nice delicate wrappers. The other place, not so much.“

“Amazing people serving amazing food!! Going to be ordering for my family members for Christmas gifts“

“Freshest seafood with great service.“

“Delicious food. Loved the fact the food was done quickly. Loves the outside seating“

“Everything I've ordered here (dine-in and takeout) salads, breakfasts plates, sandwiches etc have been cooked to perfection, super fresh and tasty ingredients, and abundant portions to enjoy the yumminess again for lunch or dinner. Elevated and palate pleasing menu offerings, like the lemon ricotta pancakes and the tahini lentil salad with added grilled chicken! Some of the dishes come with many different sides (like oatmeal, toppings, bread, fruit) making it a complete family meal. Highly recommend!Kid-friendliness: They are super nice and patient with my toddler, and always throw in an extra little side or crayons etc when he engages with them <3. It's very sweet AND keeps him requesting for us to go there lol“

“Excellent staff. Delicious - big fan of that pluot sorbet!!“

“Love this place! They have the sweetest staff/owner and serve really great food. They keep it simple and grounded, which is opposite of Asian cuisine in Walnut Creek. Sometimes, you just want that cozy home cooked feel. Can't say enough great things.“

“My husband and I typically order via DoorDash, but decided to go into the store since we were Downtown. It was nice to see the order process in-store since we're so used to placing our orders online. I love that you can see all the ingredients right in front of you as you're ordering. We got a bowl to share and ordered their new firecracker poke nachos to take home with us. (These were literal fiiiire, the hot cheetos topping was *chef's kiss*) Everything is always so fresh and the service we received was awesome. Their poke is the best we've had in the Bay! Consider us lifers!“

“It was absolutely delicious, best food I’ve had in a long time. The customer service was exceptional. It was our Anniversary and we had an Anniversary card on our table, and at the end of our dinner we were given a box of truffles. They took the time to know who we were and treated us with such kindness. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Havana exceeded all expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the vibrant atmosphere and welcoming staff. The highlight was undoubtedly the Mojito menu, boasting an array of tantalizing options that were as visually stunning as they were delicious.As for the food, it was a journey of culinary delight. The menu offered unique twists on Cuban classics, including mouthwatering dishes like the different types of chicken, each bursting with flavor and expertly cooked. What truly impressed me was the restaurant's commitment to catering to all dietary preferences, with healthy and flexible options for both vegetarians and carnivores alike.Overall, Havana delivered a dining experience that was way beyond what I had anticipated. With its impeccable Mojitos, flavorful food, and inclusive menu options, it's a Cuban restaurant that sets the bar high for excellence in every aspect.“

“First visit. Everything was delicious. Poutine fries, a side salad, and the Pittsburgh Cheese Steak. Will definitely be back.“

“The sushi was great! It was very fresh, and the servers were very friendly. You could feel the love and care in the food they served. The ambiance was relaxing and peaceful. The decor may be outdated, but I'm giving them 5 stars because the quality of food and service is important to me. We ordered hot tea, 2 assorted chirashi bowls, 1 flamingo roll, and 1 dragon roll. This place serves quality fresh fish. Everything was delicious. I'll be back!“

“It’s a contemporary Japanese restaurant with an extensive menu. Decor is bright and cheery. Bonus points for big screens showing a winning Warriors game on the night we dined there! ? Personally I had the cheesy katsu on a sizzling hot plate which was quite a sight and tastes pretty good. My party had sushi and ramen which are ok but the broth is not complex flavor-wise. The draft beer in frosted mugs is refreshing and goes very well with the katsu. Service is friendly and lots of drink options from sake to soju to ramunes. Definitely something for everyone.Vegetarian options: There are options even for plant-based diets.Parking: Saw a couple of pay-per-use EV charging spots in the parking lot too. Probably J1772s.Kid-friendliness: Good menu options for kids and they provide little chopstick training widgets for a fun experience“

“Absolutely wonderful food and service. Will be back to try other delights.“

“Fries were excellent, the hamburger and hotdog were not too bad either“

“Bomb salads and their pasta is also delishVegetarian options: All their salads are able to be made vegetarian and the vegan Sammie is sooooo good!Parking: Not a ton of parking but lots close byKid-friendliness: My kids all ask to go here. Never any complaints from them.“

“This is probably my favorite restaurant. I go here almost every week for past 7-8 years. They give you complementary cucumber salad at the beginning and pineapple juice at the end of your dinner . Everyone is super friendly and helpful . Parking is always available . Restaurant is located at the very small plaza right next to 7/11. They also do very good job with to go orders . Try it , you won't regret !“

“Amazing food including the New York steak“

“This place gets popping on the weekends! We came for some great Vietnamese food and definitely got that and then some! There was parties of people coming in and the place got very lively! The food here is great, Service was great and the energy was wonderful!“

“there is a daily question on the wall board and the fun is composing answers and reading what others have written…“

“Victor was our waiter he was so very friendly and very attentive.. beside good looking :)“

“We stopped for a quick meal after shopping all evening. I chose my usual (grilled pork with rice Vermicelli) and my cousins all ordered the Chicken and Shrimp Pho. My order came with a small bowl of a very flavorful broth. We also got one order of fresh summer rolls with shrimp.The food was delicious and plentiful. My cousins have been here before and they love it.The staff were very kind. We arrived about 30 mins before the restaurant closed, but they welcomed us warmly and made no fuss.??“

“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!“

“We came for dinner. The order:EscargotFlaming CheeseEvil eye cocktailMedusa cocktailSeafood PastaHalibutFilet MignonLemon cheesecakePoached pearGalatktoThe appetizers and drinks were amazing. Very delicious, and the cocktails were perfectly balanced. The mains were a bit lacking. The seafood pasta lacked flavor, the filet mignon a bit overcooked depending on the piece, and the Halibut was the biggest let down. Very dry.The desserts were mostly good. The star was the poached pear, followed by the cheesecake, but the galakto was burnt.Overall it's a lovely restaurant with Santorini vibes, and the waiters/staff were always kind. ?At these prices, the mains need to be a lot better.“

“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.“

“Food and service was great and prompt. Dishes we tried were good (if not exceptional). Both the pad thai and the Burmese chicken curry were a solid 4. Atmosphere outside was nice, right on the street and downtown outside. Inside wasn't as great as per my host.“

“Excellent! Tonight was one of the best meals we’ve had here and are so happy to be able to continue to support the restaurant. So thank you for some of the most fresh best tasting Chinese food in Walnut Creek!“

“Awesome food and presentation. Friendly service!“

“Nice lady and she make best late ever.“

“I had eaten at this restaurant several years ago when I was in town to see family. It was a memorable experience then, so I was very happy to get together with my family and friends for dinner.We ordered some Lady Fingers and Calamari for appetizers, followed by Tom Yum Soup.For our main dishes we had the Crab Fried Rice, Pad Thai, Pumpkin Curry (chicken), Pad Prik King (pork), and Sizzling Seafood Platter. The food was amazing and we inhaled everything. It was fresh and moderately spicy, just how I like it.For dessert, we shared a couple of Mango with Sticky Rice. A perfect finish to our meal.I was so glad it was as I remembered from years ago.“
