“The food was great! The service was very consistent and friendly. I appreciate the way the chefs were able to accommodate and adapt to the dietary needs of my guest.”
“TOP NOTCH! I can’t imagine you won’t agree once you’ve tried Chelsea Sushi. Right downtown in Brentwood. Walking distance to shops, movies and beer gardens. I’m a sushi snob I ate more than planned. And…. They are open in Mondays!!”
“Love me some V&G! Great atmosphere, great staff and amazing bites and beverages! A great way to wind down or turn up depending on your goals! ❤️”

“Vic's is a Great local Steakhouse with much more than Steak! The staff is amazing, the food is delicious!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“It's a really good pizza that you can get with all the typical Indian flavors instead of the typical American pizza. The pizza crust pared with any indian spices works really well together.
Got 3 pizzas for a 6 person dinner. Everyone liked them.
They gotta do something with the interior to make it more inviting. Long rows of tables side by side with very bright light is not inviting at all. Be great for a big party or team.”
“I was very excited to know that we were gonna have a hot chicken in the area. My second time here the food is good. The service is good. The atmosphere is great. I really am looking forward to coming and being a part of your community as a patriot. However I do wish that your combo meals included a drink with them
Parking: The location is in a plaza with other businesses so parking is kind of hard to find you have to drive around because you have grocery stores other food, vendors, and other things going on, but it’s worth the wait to find parking”
“**Denny's Brentwood: A Surprisingly Good Breakfast Experience**
I recently had the chance to try out the new Denny's location in Brentwood, CA, off Brentwood Boulevard. I was initially skeptical, as I hadn't had a particularly positive experience at Denny's in the past. However, I was pleasantly surprised.
I ordered the California Skillet with chorizo, which was a generous portion of scrambled eggs, chorizo, peppers, onions, and melted cheese, all served sizzling hot on a cast-iron skillet. The flavors were well-balanced, and the dish was quite satisfying. To accompany my meal, I opted for the bottomless mimosas with orange juice, which were refreshing and a great way to start the day.
The skillet came with three flour tortillas, which were perfect for scooping up the delicious filling. While I appreciated the generous portion size, I did find the tortillas to be a bit dry.
The wait for a table was about 20 minutes, which is understandable considering the popularity of this new location. However, the wait was made more bearable by the efficient QR code payment system when it was time to leave, which allowed me to pay my bill from my seat.
The restaurant was packed, and the service was surprisingly good. Our server was attentive and friendly, and our food arrived promptly. The overall value of the meal was excellent, with affordable prices for a satisfying breakfast.
Based on my experience, I would definitely recommend this Denny's location to anyone looking for a good breakfast spot in Brentwood. I'll certainly be back again, and I'll be sure to bring a friend to enjoy the delicious food and friendly atmosphere.
Room for improvement: The arcade game should be moved to make more room for those waiting. I didnt see any outside heaters, but maybe I missed it. This would likely convince more people to eat outside.

“It is my first time trying this amazing little restaurant in brentwood. I have to say it is hard to find a good Mexican restaurant around here but this place was amazing. I love how the restaurant setup is and even though it is small it is exactly how it needs to be. I tried the wet burrito and it was completely flavorful I would have to say the best I ever had. The nice woman who took my order was so kind and she recommended I try the burrito in the first place. I believe her name was Jen or Jennifer. She was so sweet and I felt welcome as a customer. I will definitely be returning 😁😁😁👍👍👍💯”
“We've been here several times now. Not much 'atmosphere'; it's a take-out asian food place. The food we've ordered so far (and that means most of the dim sum menu) has been darn good. The service is also great.
Be ready to scan the menu and fill out your order card; cards and pencils on a lean-to table near the display.
Plan for few extra minutes on your first visit to learn the system. It's worth it! and the staff is super good about helping you out. I wholeheartedly recommend this place.”
“It’s not my first time here. Whenever we come we always get gelato. But this time we ordered food. We got the focaccia and it was really good and of course we got gelato.
It’s a good place to stop if you’re wanting a small snack. But you can order a full meal as well. Both the chef and the woman at the counter are really nice and friendly. They have actual conversation with.
The place does get busy people in groups come and go. The inside of the cafe is tiny but they have outdoor sitting that’s really cute. I’d come here again.”
“love this place! coffee is incredible! workers are so nice!!! i also tried this vegan mushroom drink i forgot what it’s called but it’s really good for your brain & sugar free with no caffeine & it was amazing! i had it iced it was really good! & they spelled my name right! unlike starbucks 😂 highly recommend this place it’s really affordable too! 💗”
“Absolutely love this spot ! The owner is a jewel and so is her family! Very kind people city great Boba! I love the oreo snow? double blended and their macaroon ice cream sandwiches( fav coffee hazelnut)! They are delicious ? ?
Definitely don't sleep on this spot !”
“This was a great Asian restaurant with delicious food that we ended up eating at after watching the weekend premiere of “Mission: Impossible” across the street. We needed a place open late to eat at other than BJ’s, which had a crazy 1 hour wait for 4, and man are we glad we chose to eat here! We were able to immediately get seated and were presented with a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options from their Chinese and Japanese menus. We ended up ordering the “Forget-Me-Not” sushi as a starter (which was 😋), then ordered several Chinese dishes which were very well-cooked, and finished it off with some strawberry mochi! The atmosphere was also very open and inviting with ample seating, and the service was great! Andrea was very friendly and great with checking in to ensure our satisfaction! Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely eat here again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟”
“Delighted that Wrappin Chicken is open! Same owners and recipes as the wonderful (but closed) Chaman Kabob. Came on opening day and got my favorite, the ground chicken wrap, original style. Just as tasty as I remembered! This location is fast casual, not a full sit-down restaurant. I look forward to returning frequently and getting some of my other favorites, bolani (potato-stuffed bread), mantu (dumplings) and the kabobs. Eventually I'll even check out their new items, I'm sure. So glad to have this great food in Brentwood again!”
“Thank-you Zack for making Sam and I wedding anniversary dinner a romantic ambiance and cozy atmosphere!!”
“This was my 2nd visit this year and the food and service were excellent for both. I look forward to dining here again!
Parking: Parking was easy on both visits but probably is a little more difficult on busier nights. It is in a shopping center where parking is always available but may require a bit of walking. Park anywhere and visit some stores on the way.”

“I’m embarrassed to say that it took me this long to pop in and try out this amazing place. My business is literally one block over from theirs. But, as business owners, we tend to cut and run when our day is finally done. Anywho, this place is amazing! Such a warm atmosphere and the staff were fun and super helpful. Since I was a fish out of water, their staff went out of their way to show me what they had that I may like. That was awesome because I’m a pain in the butt! I don’t drink beer. At all… Never have… my hubby does and that’s all that matters and if they carry wine for me, which they do, I’m good too! We had a great time meeting with friends there. I will definitely frequent this place! You should too!”
“Best taqueria around. Love the torta de carnitas...mmm and carne asada burrito. Always fast and friendly service. If you ask they will happily give you extra salsa, jalapeños, lemon wedges or sliced rabanos(radish). They also offer full restaurant style plates with the main dish, frijoles and sopa de arroz (refried beans and Mexican style rice)...priced right and generous servings. Thank you La Costa!! ? Downtown Brentwood wouldn't be the same without you?”
“Our waiter, Dominico, was marvelous! He helped with everything we needed. He was very patient and accommodating.”

“What started as an on-a-whim visit to a small restaurant has lead to finding a new local favorite. Every single time I have come here, the service is awesome, the food comes out fast and tastes wonderful, and the general atmosphere is very nice.
Neko Sushi has become one of our favorite lunch/dinner date locations, its small and simple and the prices are extremely generous for their food.”

“Best dumplings ive had out here, I'm from Vegas but I would put this at the top from other places that I've tried. I've seen them make everything hand made while we are there and the flavors of everything is on point. The broth in soup dumplings is very flavorful and nothing is greasy especially the chow mein I will always eat here when I come out to Oakley. The flavors the love put into the food feels authentic was a great experience and I would like to thank the restaurant for that 🙂 very good thank you again I'll remember it and talk about it for a long time 🤤😋 ate there at the restaurant and had it door dash both times were awesome 😎.”
“We had come here for date night after a quick Google search of places in her neighborhood and thankfully this place showed up as one of the top rated. The staff were fast & friendly, the food was incredible! The service was fast, and the prices were excellent. We will absolutely be stopping back here anytime we are interested in Chinese cuisine.”
“I rarely eat Chinese food because it's not my top favorite but today is Christmas and nowhere else to go, only this Chinese restaurant opened on Christmas. Surprisingly the food was great, not oily or salty like other Chinese restaurants. They have a large menu with hundreds of options. The Singapore style noodle was not soggy or oily, it's perfectly cooked and seasoned. The chow fun was good with tons of meat. The orange chicken might need more sauce next time, just a little extra sauce would make it x10 better. The amount of food was insane for reasonable price. This 3 container would feed a family of 4.”
“2024 New Years Eve Dinner The meatloaf and pomegranatinis are on point!!!!”
“The food here is so good! I had the tofu kimchi stew, it literally warmed me up inside, and it was the perfect level of spice. It was comfort food at its finest. I would highly recommend!”

“Was in town and decided to give this place a try, luckily they had 4-tacos for $12 special on Thursdays. Called in to order to go, very simple and easy. When I got there I was greeted by this super nice lady, she got my payment and grabbed my food, offered sauces, asked for 4 and no problem, She was also very polite and attentive, I wish all customer service Staff were like her. Kudos.
The tacos were absolutely delicious, got 2 shredded chicken and 2 steak. I liked the steak more but both were on point as you can see in the last picture I devoured the plate. lol. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of were the sauces, They had a weird scent and flavor, I tried to like it but I never had any like it before and it was odd and wasn’t very pleasant. Overall good experience and will be back here again :)
Parking: Can be crowded sometimes”
“They get 5 stars for being inconsiderate and unempathetic business owners. Their pastries are overly sweet, lack flavor, and are overloaded with sugar. I used to visit with my husband, eager to support the new Paris Baguette in Brentwood, hoping for the same great service as their San Jose location. However, the pastries here look stale, and the service is terrible. I don't blame the employees; it's clearly a management issue.
The safety standards are also poor—I injured my finger and ruined my nail due to a lack of safety locks on their drawers(posted video on yelp - https://yelp.to/dVMYOEhcQ9). I’m so sad to find out that my nails are forever ruined. My husband tried to reach out to management but was completely ignored (I attached his review; this is how they treat their customers—no response, not even an apology!). Horrible food, terrible service, and unsafe conditions! I do not recommend this location to anyone, especially considering their unsafe and unhealthy practices.
I recently discovered another place called Dore’s Cafe if you are looking for high-quality pastries. Their strawberry cream cake and Napoleon pastries are a thousand times better than those here, with just the right amount of sweetness. I'm still exploring more of their offerings, but they are already proving to be a much better choice.
Vegetarian options: Do not recommend
Kid-friendliness: This place has some serious safety concerns. Be extra careful when opening the pastry doors as it smashed my finger really badly, and the owners were completely indifferent when I brought this up. No apology! I wouldn't recommend this location due to safety hazards and irresponsible franchise owners/management. Plus, the pastries taste old and bland compared to other locations. If you want to try Paris Baguette, go to Dublin or Concord. The ambiance, food, service, and selection are far better.
For a great local alternative, try Dore's Cafe. Their pastries are superior with less sweetness. I posted video on my other yelp review of those drawers - https://yelp.to/dVMYOEhcQ9 So if an adult can get hurt by those, definitely not suitable for kids.”
“Thank goodness I found my ice cream spot! The UBE BROWNIE is fire ? salted caramel, mocha almond fudge and cherry were some other flavors we tried. I had mine on a chocolate dipped waffle cone. The customer service experience and atmosphere was inviting. See you soon John's IC. ?
Parking: Easy Breezy”
“First-timers and definitely won’t be the last time… more like regulars! Absolutely fantastic service sitting at the bar today around 5:30pm and had great tasting drinks and a couple of wrap sandwiches. Met a few people from the area and had a great experience! Recommended for sure!”
“Best crab dumpling I’ve ever had. Wow.
Made a pit stop to charge the car and walked in here because it was quicker than the place next door. Didn’t think much about it nor did we have any expectations but holy wow I’ve had a lot of Xiao long bao from din tai fung to local mom and pops and everything in between. This place I hands down the best crab dumpling I’ve ever had. No hyperbole. Beef noodle soup was decent, but the dumplings. That’s all that matters. Do it.”
“We recently visited Hannah Nicole Vineyards & Winery in Brentwood, CA, with friends who live nearby, and we had a wonderful time. This was our third or fourth visit, and it’s always a relaxing experience. We sat outside, enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, and tasted several wines. Although I’m not a wine expert, I liked everything we tried, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It’s a great spot to spend a weekend afternoon with friends, and I look forward to returning!
Hannah Nicole Vineyards & Winery sits on an 80-acre estate in Brentwood, along the Delta River. It offers stunning views of Mt. Diablo. The winery started in 2001 and practices sustainable farming. They use cover crops, natural compost, and pest management techniques to keep the ecosystem healthy.
The winery makes a variety of wines, including Bordeaux and Rhône varietals. Some options are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petite Sirah, and Viognier. Their standout wines, the Viognier and Balfour “Meritage,” are well-made and benefit from warm days, cool nights, and winds from the nearby Sacramento Delta.
The tasting room is open daily from 12 PM to 5 PM. Reservations are not required for groups of five or fewer, but they are a good idea for larger groups. The winery also hosts events throughout the year, such as concerts and private gatherings.
Whether you’re local or visiting the area, Hannah Nicole Vineyards & Winery offers a friendly atmosphere and a great selection of wines.
To add excitement to our visit, we saw a long, crawling fellow crossing the road as we walked to our car! That certainly made this visit memorable! See the video I’ve added :-)”

“We are so excited to be back here! It's under new ownership! My husband and I went in for lunch recently and it was delish!! We both ordered a half salad! We can't wait to go back and try the new soups and sandwiches! The staff was also amazing, very friendly and made sure our order was correct!”
“I thought I’d try this place up since I pass by it every time. Little did I know that I’ll be blown away by their Quesabirria. The Quesabirria is great and they are huge with the side of consume that makes it even better. I’m surprised and I would definitely come back again to try the other good of their menu. By the way, dinning in will have you access to chips and salsa.”

“Horrible experience. Came in on a Sunday morning to the Brentwood, CA location last weekend (5/10/23) it was only me and my boyfriend there. Had to wait until someone finally came out of the back to take our order, which took 5 minutes, took our order and we waited patiently 10 minutes for one small smoothie and a juice. We checked in on it but all 4 employees were in the back room just talking amongst themselves not making any orders, or coming out to let us know a timeline. There weren’t any doordash orders either or anyone picking anything up. So it was just ours to make. We asked again how it was coming along 15 minutes later and had to wave them down in the back and they brushed us off, to take 5 new peoples orders that had just come in instead of finishing ours. Then one of the female employees came out and asked to take our order -she didn’t know anything about our order we had been waiting for the entire time or what we were talking about. So we asked for a refund, thinking they’d give us the drinks for free after all of that, and they hadn’t even started making them and said we didn’t get the drinks and did not apologize for any of the inconvenience or lack of customer service. Super disappointed. Never going back.”
“Man iam from Nola babe and we know oysters! This spot is competing with the oysters spots in Nola babe! 5 stars hands down!”
“Seems like the review by John Lie must have been confused, because this is a restaurant on a golf course, not a hotel. My fiance and I are planning our wedding here (Wedgewood Weddings partners with the Nines Restaurant) and every time we come by for a planning meeting we come eat at the Nines Restaurant. In particular we as always hope to see the bartender Jeff; whenever we stop in he gives us superb service, going above and beyond. (Good enough that we specifically requested he bar tend our wedding)”

“My experience with Dino’s, my wallet fell out of my pocket inside the restaurant and I completely didn’t know. The owner, Dennis hand delivered to my address on my license and was extremely humble to not accept a reward only to “keep supporting Dino’s.” Dino’s has a customer for life. Thank you Dennis.”
“Pizza is my obsession. Having lived in NYC I know the real taste of Authentic New York Pizza. When I first moved to the East Bay It was frustrating trying to find a real New York style Pizza until I discovered this amazing place in the heart of Brentwood called AMECI PIZZA KITCHEN. Their Pizza is out of this world delicious and reminds me of old good days in NYC. Customer service at AMECI is always on point and they never disappoint. AMECI team will make everything right and make sure to exceed your expectations. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!”
“I’m have ordered DoorDash from here several times and walked in for the first time today for a to go order. I really enjoy their Pozole, and the crispy tacos are really good. I didn’t realize that the dinning area was so cute. Definitely plan to come back with the family for a sit down meal.”
“Mitch is a very professional easy to talk to Bart tender. Makes drinks to perfection and spends time on every drink. Makes my old fashion drinks delicious and strong.”
“we had great service and the owners are AMAZING I would reccomend to everyone. Food and service were great! They are also very accommodating and friendly. Thank you for being such great hosts to the community”
“We got three different bento boxes here and I personally loved the Thai food options. I asked for a vegan tofu with the basil eggplant, and I felt like the sauce was really good in it. I will post pictures of their new menu here too.”
“Combo plates(chile relleno, cheese enchilada and soft taco) carnitas nachos and sizzling carna aside very good!!!”
