“The food here is amazing! We came here for my birthday dinner. We all got great dishes: my pork chop was tender and juicy, the crab cakes were excellent as was the flaky filo Mary's chicken. The desserts were good, not as great as the main courses in my opinion but my friends liked them. We got the bread pudding and the black bottom white chocolate banana cream tart.”
“Such a cute little Thai restaurant. The service was excellent. I ordered the monsoon cocktail, which was delicious. I was torn between the spicy basil chicken, and the seafood green curry. I ended up going with the green curry, which the waiter suggested. It normally comes with shrimp, rockfish, scallops, and squid. They were very accommodating and let me modify since I don’t eat squid. He definitely didn’t lead me astray, the presentation was beautiful, and the flavor was amazing. I’ll definitely come back to try some of the other dishes. Overall a great experience.”
“New favorite place! The staff are the most friendliest people and the restaurant itself is so cute. I love the decor and table settings and am in awe of how delicious the food is. The mac and cheese was unbelievable. I couldn't believe there was no actual cheese. My maitake mushroom sandwich was perfect. I loved the mushroom, the sauce, the slight sweetness of it and the kale salad was great to pair along with it. The strawberry cocktail had fresh strawberries from their garden out back and I loved it. My husband loved his burger as well. I cannot wait to come back and try the other menu items. Perhaps, we'll come back for dinner next time :)”

“A busy place which is always a good sign. We came in hungry and we liked everything we ordered. This time I didn't have time to take pictures and immersed myself in the food experience. A bit on the pricey side but the service and the food was excellent. The location is good, plenty of parking. The gym upstairs takes away from the atmosphere by occasional loud sounds (dropped weights?).”
“I had the crème brulé crepe with a double espresso.It was great!The crepe had crème brulé on the top, banana and strawberry inn the centre and chocolate at the bottom.It was served in a cone which made it fun to eat.The host was very friendly.Would definitely recommend for a brunch/evening snack if you are in the Blackhawk/Mt.Diablo area.”

“I was visiting a friend in the East Bay and craving some authentic Brazilian açaí when I found this place on Yelp. The food is phenomenal! I got the very berry açai bowl and an empada, and I could definitely tell that the ingredients are high quality. Every mouthful was delicious, and even the 15 oz size is a huge portion. The bowl it’s served in is deep, so it feels like a lot. My friend got a coxinha, which was just as yummy as the other two. It was also twice the size of coxinhas I’ve seen sold at other places. Impressive! The staff are so friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere of the café is warm and cozy. Highly recommend!”

“Very pleasant and substantial servings. Tastes extremely reasonable and homemade. For the kid's birthday party, we ordered food, and it was excellent. Regards.”
“We had our lunch on 03/03/2024 Sunday. We ordered following food: Sultan salad Beef shish kebab Chicken shish kebab Salmon kebab Hummus trio Tzatziki Food excellent and delicious. Cooked to perfection. Service: Greeted us with a wide smile. Owner Ibrahim very accommodating and attentive to our needs. Service quick and efficient. All staff has great attitude respectful to both young and elderly. Ambience: Medium size place . Place cool and comfortable. Place neat and clean.

“Amazing fusion of Indian and American food. They have wide creative options to select from and they are just bliss for you taste buds. They also serve healthy options like quinoa and nailed it.”
“Went a couple of times because friends, a few months ago, said it was good and I had seen the line out the door on a Saturday. Both times I went, 3 months apart, during the week, the almond crossaint was dry. It is flaky and crunchy, but kind of dry on the last quarter end each side. No filling til the middle.The middle had a lot of almond paste- too much that it was too sweet and i could not eat it all. Maybe if they made it smaller with the paste not so much in the middle it would be better - a better dispersment of the filling. The choc crossaint had a lot of the flaky pastry but a thin line of choc could hardly taste it. The apple braid was delicious. Crispy crunchy and the right amount of filling to pastry ratio. My favorite so far. More different fruit braids would be great! I went at 8.30a during the week. I was the only customer til another person walked in. The pastries were 6$ plus and they had day old pastries for sale. If the ratio of filling to pastry was better and not too dry on some of them, I would be back more often!”
“SLOW service. Entered an empty restaurant and got our food over an hour later. BUT, the food was worth the wait. And the service was friendly. If we didn't have theater tickets, we would have been happy to spend our time.”
“If you want to try authentic afghan food then this is the place! We had the best dinner here. We tried Bolani Potatoes, Bolani Kadu/Pumpkin and Borani Badenjon. All three items were delicious and very tasty. Their seating arrangements in patio is like middle eastern style facing water fountain. Bolani were crispy and sauces on Borani had great chef touch. The staff and owners treated us very nicely.Vegetarian options: Bolani and Borani”
“I've been coming to this restaurant for more than 10 years. Great service, friendly waitresses/waiter, nice and clean restaurant, authentic Thai food. Ordered tom kha chicken soup, chicken satay, pad see ew, green curry and Thai basil chicken. All tasted good. They even packed our leftovers at the end. If you love your food to be Thai spicy, let them know (request a 5 star spiciness). Definitely a great Thai restaurant to eat in San Ramon.”

“Just found this place recently, and been there two times afterward! It is absolutely on the top of our Thai places list. Have there Penang and green curries, crying tiger, short ribs, salmon on banana leaves, and few cocktails. Everything was delicious and artfully presented. Salmon was on point and ribs were so soft and flavorful. Craft cocktails were complex and added to the experience.”

“Looking for a wine bar with a chill vibe? Found one! Came here one rainy Friday evening with my husband, listened to some wonderful live music, drank some good wine, and snacked on some delicious cheeses. This place has a great atmosphere, perfect for non-wine snobs like us.”
“Kaori serves excellent cuisine and their manager, staff and servers are always personable, efficient and knowledgeable. We dine there regularly and have consistently enjoyed the experience. The food is prepared with care and the Black Cod, Prawns, Bento and Blue Fin Tuna are all standouts. The dishes are beautifully prepared with unique flavor profiles and presentation. The cocktails and wine list pair wonderfully with the Asian flavors.”

“This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Danville! I lovvvve all of their dishes ! Excellent quality of fresh ingredients and delicious! I tried all the Thai restaurants in Danville , San Ramon, Dublin and this place is the place to be! The best!”
“The food is reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. Everything tastes very flavorful and homemade. The Qabili Palao was especially good, the lamb was cooked to perfection.”
“Hidden gem! Great fresh sushi, Udon and teriyaki. Really nice atmosphere. We sat next to a fireplace on a cool day on on hot days we like to sit outside. Great service as well. The fish is super fresh and high quality.”
“Just a solid burger. I had their basic burger and a chocolate shake. Both were delightful. The shake was rich and perfectly thick. The burger was juicy and decadent, and their pickle-jalapeno sauce mix complemented the beef perfectly. The cashier was friendly, and my order was out before I even had time to go to the bathroom. I'll definitely be making myself a regular here whenever I drive out to Danville.Vegetarian options: Lots of impossible meat options for their usual burger fare. There is also Mac and cheese available, and a couple types of vegetarian grilled cheeses.”
“Same location where it was called Pizza Antica before. The location in Google maps is incorrect and actual location is across the side street from the parking lot.Good food, very good and friendly service. Try the mushroom pizza, salmon, or chicken dish. They also have $7 sangria specials starting on Thursdays every week.The ambience is friendly and the decor is minimalist. The portions are big. You can see the impact of inflation in the prices.If you pay using the QR code (sends you to Toast) it includes tax for calculating tip percentages, which is not great. Hopefully they fix it.Vegetarian options: They will customizeKid-friendliness: Small selection of usual kids items”
“This place is so delicious. We’ve loved their food for years, doing regular takeout. This time we actually went to eat at the restaurant and it was amazing. Tandoori mixed platter sizzling fresh out of the oven - delicious. Chicken Korma, tikka masala, garlic naan are all amazing too. And the nicest staff every time. It’s a small gem of a place!”
“Nisha did a wonderful job on my son’s first party desserts. We got mini cupcakes, brownies and a smash cake. The cupcakes were a hit with the kiddos, especially the rainbow sprinkles. I placed the order Wednesday for a Saturday pickup, it was seamless and easy. She recommended flavors and answered all of my questions. I promised he liked the cake ? Will definitely be going back!Dietary restrictions: I asked for the smash cake to be made with less sugar. Nisha accommodated by using a whipped cream frosting and was delicious.”
“Food and service were above expectations! The menu has plenty of options and our group ordered almost everything lol.. Love this place.! Everyone was so nice and said goodbye on our way out as if we were family. I will most definitely be coming back.!”

“It saddens me how much people don't know about this place. These people are hard workers! It's owned by one family the husband and wife literally work 7 days a week from 11-3 then 4:30-9. Their hard work is inspiring but breaks my heart how much they work. The food is really good as well. The sides - chow mein and fried rice is ok, but the meats are amazing!”
“It was our first time dining at Piatti. The food did not disappoint! All ingredients were fresh & everything was seasoned appropriately - complex flavors w/o overdoing the salt. I especially enjoyed the house made pasta. They had ample staff, during their busy weekend lunch hours. Everyone was very friendly, & worked seamlessly, together, ensuring that all food was delivered promptly, while still piping hot! Special mention must go to our primary sever, Joel. He is just a wonderful, young man - very personable & upbeat, while still maintaining the necessary professionalism. He really knows the menu, gave us great recommendations, and treated us with the utmost kindness & courtesy! We will definitely be back!! Thank you.”
“Our party of 19 ate here the night after Christmas. Yo's on Hartz is such a nice and intimate place to eat. The manager, Evelyn, made sure our large party was well taken care of and gave excellent meal recommendations. Everyone enjoyed their food and cocktails. We look forward to dining here again!”
“Great pizza, love the crust!!! So light and flavorful and the sauce is perfect. Everyone is no nice there and highly recommend. This will be our new go to for pizza!!”
“We came here with a group of 12 friends - 3 were celebrating birthdays. One knew the owner, so they took good care of us, and ordered food for us family style. It was all very fresh and tasty. I'm glad we tried things this way it got me to taste items I might not have considered trying.The joint was packed, the people and wait staff were great. There were a couple gaps in time between salads and main course, but I imagine it's a challenge to get that many meals out to lots of people at the same time.I also wish we had been fore warned that they charge a 3% charge for using a credit card - had we known that in advance we would have paid in cash.Parking: There's free on-street and in lot parking, this area is pretty busy so you may need to circle a few times to find a spot.”
“Best all around restaurant in the area. Our store is close and we eat here all the time. Don't underestimate the food because you assume it's a bar atmosphere that wants to serve cheaper items to passify patrons. The food such as the seared ahi, chicken pot pie, the chicken meal, the shrimp and grits and multiple kids items are really well put together and that is what honestly would surprise most people about Norm's. The sliding door opens up for events next door and there is always sports on. The staff and the owner alike make you feel comfortable and at home. The best part is they always keep up with us as customers and they remember what we eat. It's the little stuff that makes norm's special.”
“Honestly, the food here is amazing! I've ordered multiple things from the menu and yet I have not been disappointed. My favorite rolls so far are the Kibo, Hartz, Salmon Skin hand roll and Isabel!! Isabel, Hartz & Salmon skin hand-roll are my top 3 favorites. For the appetizer, I really enjoy the garlic edamame!! If you're a garlic girl like I am, you should definitely give it a try. The gyozas and mixed tempura are a hit as well!! For rice plates, I really enjoy the chicken teriyaki. I usually never order chicken teriyaki at restaurants but oh man this one is soooo good. I really like the salad and pickled vegetables that come with it.”
“We enjoyed dinner at Incontro with our friends traveling from Montana. This has become a regular spot for us when they come. There is always great food and service. We never been disappointed!”
“We were a party of 5 and all ordered different items. We loved them all from the clam chowder to the snapper. Must try their desserts! The bread pudding was our favorite. We will be back.”
“Combo platter was very good, kids menu was great and came out early. Lovely flatbread, attentive service, very clean. Price point felt a little high, not sure if the filet mignon was filet Minton, it was overcooked. Chicken was good, also tasted precooked and heated up”
“The food of this restaurant was very good. I went here with my family. The service was excellent and the food was tasty and tasty. The inside of the restaurant was very clean and tidy. I really liked it.The food of this restaurant was very good. I went here with my family. The service was excellent and the food was delicious and tasty.

“Have eaten at Cosina Hermanas maybe a dozen times. I always enjoyed their taco plates - a good variety of really good street food! The last 2 times there I ordered two versions of their pork belly. Gotta say, this is the absolute BEST Chicharron Ahumado I've ever had... the spices and technique make these dishes off the charts. I've become passionate over Chef Arturo's truly magnificent pork belly! I cannot recommend this enough!!Happy eating at Cocina Hermanas!”
“Excellent BBQ. Do not go here if you are a Vegan. Plenty of food for the money. I got the Signature Sampler (4 meats, potato salad, cole slaw). Couldn't finish it all, had to take half home. Excellent draft beer selection. Sat outside by the fire ?. I've been to other BBQ joints, but this one had the Atmosphere, the meats, great portions, and plenty of beer. A great dining experience. It's times like these that you remember. Just hangin out with your buddies and having a great meal/beer.”
“I wish that I had known about this place sooner so I could have been eating here as it's the best restaurant in the area. Being from the area, I didn't know this gem of a place was hidden away and here this whole time. It's rare to find a spot that is unique, delicious and has good service. You can hear the staff greet customers when they arrive and when they leave, it shows that they care. I've had the Rigatoni Tikka Masala, and their Mac and cheese flight just a few things we ordered for the table that really hit the spot. Dessert and drinks here is a must!!! I have to also mention the music that was playing was perfect for the mood, we really enjoyed and will be back very soon!”
“Fantastic food. I ate twice the portion size I normally eat. Daughter ordered this amazing wok special noodle soup. I’m not a noodle soup guy but tasted it and couldn’t stop having it. My own order was black pepper chicken and shrimp fried rice which I knew going in I was taking half of both home. But to my surprise I couldn’t stop eating and I finished 80% of both. And tbh I’ve been on a fairly strict healthy diet. But this was compelling. Hidden gem. And to top it the server was so nice to let us know that we were ordering so much more and made sure we were aware. We still took some food home but I couldn’t be more excited for the leftovers ?”

“We love the Darkest Chocolate here. This has become our sort celebratory go-to place to reward our kids for when they are their best behavior.Vegetarian options: Their Darkest Chocolate ice cream is Vegan. Not sure if there are other vegan or vegetarian options.”
“Ordered DoorDash from here a few times. Each time the pasta has been excellent and good value. Since I ordered for pickup all I can say about service is that it's quick and everyone is nice. The ambiance of the place looks great as well.”
“Great small place. Fast efficient service. Really tasty food. Friendly staff.Sauces are great. Constant flow of customers. It is not a huge sit-down place, but great to slow down and have a conversation.”
“I cannot express how much I love a dedicated gluten free facility. It makes it so easy for my celiac husband to find tasty treats and drinks. The desserts, particularly the cookies and cupcakes are so good you would never know the difference between non-gluten free items (I say this as someone who eats non gluten free items all the time). We love the desserts so much we ordered our wedding cake from here and it turned out beautifully! We could not recommend this place enough. It's a little pricey but that's to be expected with the pricer ingredients and in being in an expensive area.”
“Holy smokes! There is this rectangular cube of chocolate mousse cake that I have had on two occasions now. The texture, flavor, I try and make my bites small so I can savor more bites.... it is so good. And... its... vegan! This is my new favorite. Go here if you need treats!Dietary restrictions: Vegan choices”
“My wife and had a fantastic lunch yesterday at Amazing Wok. The food was fantastic, we went with our normal Asian favorites, Kung Pow Chicken, Mongolian Beef, and Green Bean Chicken. Flavors were on point, it wasn't greasy, and the portions were generous for the price. Service was great, and the place is very clean. We're definitely coming back to try more of their menu.”
“In the place of the old Danville Bakery, next door to Pete's Brass Rail & Carwash. They have off-street parking. That's a big plus. Limited seating, but we came in the early afternoon and this was not an issue. There is also seating outside. We were looking for a little after lunch dessert/snack and coffee. This turned out to be the perfect place. The Mexican mocha was excellent, but the main reason we chose this spot was the baked goods. They have a great selection of croissants, cookies, muffins, pastries, and more goodies than I could handle. I could only pick one and went with the cherry cheese danish. This was perfect.”
“Located in the Blackhawk shopping center, next to the Safeway. This is an outstanding late night Japanese restaurant, specializing in high quality sushi rolls. I highly recommend their Deluxe hand roll: Uni, otoro, shiso leaf, ikura. They also feature House special rolls, and we tried their CB roll: salmon avocado, and fresh maguro tuna! Loved their high quality seafood and warm sushi rice. Sushi nigiri portions were large, generous cuts. I loved their otoro, hamachi, and ama ebi. Extremely fresh and delicious!”
“I have been to a bunch of Chinese restaurants in the area, but I always keep coming back to Leo's. The food is just better here, and some of the best Chinese cuisine you'll find in the East Bay. The unassuming family-run restaurant is rather small, but the service is excellent, and the food is always fresh and flavorful. And they are very agreeable to modifying a dish to suit your taste. The menu is large and features some unique dishes. The tangerine beef was a perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and crispy... almost like eating candy. And the dried cooked green beans are a regular favorite for me, crunchy and flavorful. They have a full bar and wine list too. Always a good meal here.”
“Great service. I asked barista for a refill (warm up) and he kindly , with a smile, took my ice cold cup and warmed it up. Thank you! I'll be back and tip as appropriate... I tip after service... btw :-))”
“Friendly, attentive service. Perfect fish and chips, (crunchy batter, soft, moist fish, un-soggy fries), paired great with a double IPA. Cobb salad was loaded, and very fresh. Iron Horse Trail proximity gives biking and walking options, but there's plenty of off-street car parking.”
“Ordered take out~ six different pasta dishes~ spaghetti and meatballs (classic!), linguine and clams (lovely), pesto fusilli (nice light pesto), spicy sausage and mushroom rigatoni (a favorite for several in our group), gnocchi (really yummy!) and the family favorite- porcini mushroom ravioli- this was AMAZING!! The garlic bread and garlic cheese bread were delicious!! The seasoning is off the hook! The owner (I think?) threw in some plain sourdough and it was FANTASTIC!! Really nice service, scrumptious food, looking forward to ordering again!!”
“Pleasantly surprised! For whatever reason I had never tried Akira before. I'm so glad I finally have. I met up with a couple of friends and we enjoyed drinks and shared a bunch of sushi. There are lots of options on the menu and everything we tried was tasty and super fresh! We were chatting so much that we closed the place down. This might seem random, but I was so impressed by the extensive cleaning they did at the end of the night. This alone will have me frequenting Akira from now on.”
“I went to this place a while ago, but I had an awesome dinner. Waiter was great, burgers were delicious, and atmosphere was super relaxing. Will be back one day eventually.”
“Food and service were above expectations! The menu has plenty of options and our group ordered almost everything lol.. Love this place.! Everyone was so nice and said goodbye on our way out as if we were family. I will most definitely be coming back.!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Ordering done digitally. I thought the Cantina's had a special menu but they do not. They just have a bar/pub feel to them with a seperate bar and more cozy seating. Enjoyed the fire pit out side on the patio and noticed some games like huge Connext 4 and Cornhole with music playing. Ordered the new Enchilada burrito (good) and the new Flatbread quesadilla (meh) with some Strawberry Lemonade (yum).”
“Its a Taco Bell so don't expect authentic tasty Mexican Food, but this time was pretty good. Although, Taco Bell does not replace Authentic Mexican eateries, is does a great job as a fast food restaurant. Food: 1. Chicken bowl {4/5 stars, $6} - Bowl with chicken, rice, beans, guacamole, cheese, and lime ranch. Decent taste and quality. Chicken was tender and juicy, rice was soft and fluffy, and lime ranch was good. Chicken was a little lite on this meal is the only downside. 2. Grilled Cheese burrito {4/5 stars, $4} - Interesting concept, basically a cheese burrito with meat and melted cheese on the outside... but no cheese was melted outside. 3. Cheesy Gordita Crunch {4/5 stars, $5} - taco with cheese and meat inside with a "crunchy" Dorito layer. Dorito was not crunchy from what I was told. Service Online Order: Fast. Was ready before time. Easy ordering process online. Overall: A fast and convenient way to get a taste of fast food Mexican without the wait or price. Other than that, not a place to frequent often in my opinion.”
“Conveniently located McDonald's in the Blackhawk area. Great consistent food for a McDonald's and has curb side as well as drive through pick up. Good service from the team there as well.”
“Our party of 19 ate here the night after Christmas. Yo's on Hartz is such a nice and intimate place to eat.

“Located in the Blackhawk shopping center, next to the Safeway. This is an outstanding late night Japanese restaurant, specializing in high quality sushi rolls. I highly recommend their Deluxe hand roll: Uni, otoro, shiso leaf, ikura. They also feature House special rolls, and we tried their CB roll: salmon avocado, and fresh maguro tuna! Loved their high quality seafood and warm sushi rice. Sushi nigiri portions were large, generous cuts. I loved their otoro, hamachi, and ama ebi. Extremely fresh and delicious!”
“I have been to a bunch of Chinese restaurants in the area, but I always keep coming back to Leo's. The food is just better here, and some of the best Chinese cuisine you'll find in the East Bay. The unassuming family-run restaurant is rather small, but the service is excellent, and the food is always fresh and flavorful. And they are very agreeable to modifying a dish to suit your taste. The menu is large and features some unique dishes. The tangerine beef was a perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and crispy... almost like eating candy. And the dried cooked green beans are a regular favorite for me, crunchy and flavorful. They have a full bar and wine list too. Always a good meal here.”

“Yogurt shack is my friends favorite place to get fro yo in the area. I personally don't really taste a difference but they like it due to the flavors & toppings variety. There's usually parking and outdoor seating, the inside doesn't smell that great usually like a chlorine smell but you get used to it after being inside for a while. It's nicely decorated and the service is always good!”
“I really liked the food which I ordered. Had an amazing French toast. It was really unique in taste . Apart from this , ordered Benedict which was perfectly cooked .Service: 3.5/ 5Patio gives really nice vibe. However, we need to order at the counter. Weekend is really busy. I would suggest to go little early than busy timingsAtmosphere: I really liked the patio. But restaurant should have dedicated team to clean up the tables etc mainly at weekends”

The fries were fresh off the grill; generous portions, hot and tasty. The eggplant dish was very generous and tasty. Yummy desserts too. Friendly service and clean. I highly recommend this restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Great for vegetarian diets.Kid-friendliness: Clean and safe. Good options for kids.”

“I call Elliot's the last frontier. A place where regular people go, after a hard day of working, doing what they do. Except, there are no more horses outside ”
“This has to be the best subway you can experience. I used to live by one in my hometown and it was awful. This spot is clean, well run and the staff is friendly. On top of that, the sandwiches are fantastic. Great job.”

“This is a sleek, new, modern Starbucks with such good ammenities. The restrooms are routinely cleaned and in good condition with electronic sinks and driers, there is a good amount of seating and is a great place to do work. The best part which I haven't seen anywhere else are free samples, a waiter may come around the establishment with a tray and hand out samples free of cost. This is the go-to Starbucks in Danville.”
“Fav fast sandwhich shop. Employees here are very nice! Mikes way is always the best and they can put the oil a vinegar on the side if you don't want the bread to get soggy. Orderring from the ap is easy. Thanks Jersey Mikes Danville!”

Norm's Place
“Best all around restaurant in the area. Our store is close and we eat here all the time. Don't underestimate the food because you assume it's a bar atmosphere that wants to serve cheaper items to passify patrons. The food such as the seared ahi, chicken pot pie, the chicken meal, the shrimp and grits and multiple kids items are really well put together and that is what honestly would surprise most people about Norm's. The sliding door opens up for events next door and there is always sports on. The staff and the owner alike make you feel comfortable and at home. The best part is they always keep up with us as customers and they remember what we eat. It's the little stuff that makes norm's special.”

Kibo Sushi
“Honestly, the food here is amazing! I've ordered multiple things from the menu and yet I have not been disappointed. My favorite rolls so far are the Kibo, Hartz, Salmon Skin hand roll and Isabel!! Isabel, Hartz & Salmon skin hand-roll are my top 3 favorites. For the appetizer, I really enjoy the garlic edamame!! If you're a garlic girl like I am, you should definitely give it a try. The gyozas and mixed tempura are a hit as well!! For rice plates, I really enjoy the chicken teriyaki. I usually never order chicken teriyaki at restaurants but oh man this one is soooo good. I really like the salad and pickled vegetables that come with it.”

The Growler
“Friendly, attentive service. Perfect fish and chips, (crunchy batter, soft, moist fish, un-soggy fries), paired great with a double IPA. Cobb salad was loaded, and very fresh. Iron Horse Trail proximity gives biking and walking options, but there's plenty of off-street car parking.”
“Ordered take out~ six different pasta dishes~ spaghetti and meatballs (classic!), linguine and clams (lovely), pesto fusilli (nice light pesto), spicy sausage and mushroom rigatoni (a favorite for several in our group), gnocchi (really yummy!) and the family favorite- porcini mushroom ravioli- this was AMAZING!! The garlic bread and garlic cheese bread were delicious!! The seasoning is off the hook! The owner (I think?) threw in some plain sourdough and it was FANTASTIC!! Really nice service, scrumptious food, looking forward to ordering again!!”

Akira Bistro
“Pleasantly surprised! For whatever reason I had never tried Akira before. I'm so glad I finally have. I met up with a couple of friends and we enjoyed drinks and shared a bunch of sushi. There are lots of options on the menu and everything we tried was tasty and super fresh! We were chatting so much that we closed the place down. This might seem random, but I was so impressed by the extensive cleaning they did at the end of the night. This alone will have me frequenting Akira from now on.”
“I went to this place a while ago, but I had an awesome dinner. Waiter was great, burgers were delicious, and atmosphere was super relaxing. Will be back one day eventually.”

“Ordered DoorDash from here a few times. Each time the pasta has been excellent and good value. Since I ordered for pickup all I can say about service is that it's quick and everyone is nice. The ambiance of the place looks great as well.”
Most Popular Restaurants
“Love the decor and feel of the place. Solid, well priced menu and wine/cocktail list. Friendly servers and staff. My only complaint is that the main entree - short rib - while excellent and flavorful was too small and a bit under salted for my taste. Same with the starter meatballs-while it was a good portion size for a starter, it could have used a bit more salt.”
“We always enjoy the food here (this time Steak, Risotto, 2 way chicken, Salmon), although the menu seemed more limited than last time (6 months ago). Unfortunately there was a huge birthday party going on (including video screen, etc.) and they gave them a microphone which blasted through the whole restaurant. Good wine selection and I always enjoy the Doubtfire cocktail (jalapeño infused tequila),”
“We have visited this restaurant twice. It’s located in downtown Danville and is set in a historic bungalow. There are two buildings for seating and a large patio. If you want authentic Italian food this is the place. Reservations recommended. All the servers are friendly and well versed on the menu. We have had the Margarita Pizza which was delicious! The crust is not too thick and just slightly chewy. We’ve also sat at the bar and ordered pasta dishes. The Aperol Spritz is a favorite as well as an extensive wine and cocktail list.Parking: Parking is off street, and can be busy during the weekend hours.”
“Just found this place recently, and been there two times afterward! It is absolutely on the top of our Thai places list. Have there Penang and green curries, crying tiger, short ribs, salmon on banana leaves, and few cocktails. Everything was delicious and artfully presented. Salmon was on point and ribs were so soft and flavorful. Craft cocktails were complex and added to the experience.”
“The food was great. We had chicken Tandoori , prawns tandoori, butter chicken , chicken and goat biriyani. Chicken was super soft and juicy. All The food tasted great. Presentation of the food was excellent. We really loved the ambience. Service was good too. Will definitely come back”
“We've had the honor of working with Old Towne Danville Bakery for a lot of wedding cakes. They are always beautiful and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend if you want a great wedding cake.”
“We were early and beat the lunch crowd. Service was very good, and our lunch meals were good as well. I had the Wagyu burger and my husband had the French Dip. We ordered the fries crispy and they were perfectly cooked. Great spot with lots of parking, sat in a comfy booth which is always my preffered seating.”
“Surprisingly good mexican food at Blackhawk plaza. We have been here many times and each time I tried something different and they were all delicious. Service is great, patio is amazing especially for kids, drinks are top notch. Can't find something bad to say about this place. Go to spot id you are at Blackhawk plaza.”

“We had the pleasure of trying Aozora for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! The interior had a modern and airy feel, with impressive high ceilings. To begin, we ordered the spicy garlic edamame, and it was absolutely delicious. The sashimi platter priced at $80 was a standout, as it consisted of generously portioned, thick cuts of five different types of fish. And let's not forget about the titanic roll - it was incredibly tasty!!”
“It blows my mind to see Indians serving me pizza. But I'll get over it. The pizza is delicious NY style, and everything else on the menu is really good. Special mention to the chilled broccoli with olive oil and lemon juice; it's healthy AND tasty. The service couldn't be better; it's attentive without being intrusive. The only thing I would change is getting rid of some of TV's playing non-stop sporting events.”
“We enjoyed dinner at Incontro with our friends traveling from Montana. This has become a regular spot for us when they come. There is always great food and service. We never been disappointed!”
“Ike’s in Danville is a go-to for me. The service is always really fast and there’s almost never a wait time. Everything is always prepared just as requested and they don’t go lightly on double meat. Would highly recommended for anyone looking to get a great quick bite in Danville.”
“The sushi is really good, all ingredients taste high quality and fresh. The plate situation is odd though, as they are stored on top of the wooden separator between every table, so they are sometimes a bit dusty. Other than that the restaurant is amazing, with really nice staff.Vegetarian options: A lot of vegetarian roll options, which my friend really appreciated”
“I wish that I had known about this place sooner so I could have been eating here as it's the best restaurant in the area. Being from the area, I didn't know this gem of a place was hidden away and here this whole time. It's rare to find a spot that is unique, delicious and has good service. You can hear the staff greet customers when they arrive and when they leave, it shows that they care. I've had the Rigatoni Tikka Masala, and their Mac and cheese flight just a few things we ordered for the table that really hit the spot. Dessert and drinks here is a must!!! I have to also mention the music that was playing was perfect for the mood, we really enjoyed and will be back very soon!”

“Great pizza and wings! Very happy to have another choice for pizza out here off Camino Tassajara. Every time we order the food is hot, fresh and delicious! They get it cooked quick and our orders are always right! Welcome Danville Kitchen! Keep those pizzas coming!!”
“Take out sushi - it’s a great addition to the area! Owner Wayne is so so kind. He always remembers my husband and I went we pick up, even separately. He always asks how our son is and gives us yummy sodas.We haven’t had a bad roll! My favorite is the deluxe spicy tuna, it’s seared and has amazing flavor. Sashimi is always fresh and generous. Soup and salad are included (maybe only with sashimi?). Definitely give it a try!”
“Cielito knows how to make really, really good food. I've eaten here a few times since it opened and found it to be hit or miss. When it's good it's one of the best burritos I've ever had but it also has some off days. They constantly get my order wrong. Cielito: please pay more attention to what's going into the burritos!! That being said, I still love this place and it's a great new addition to Danville.”
“I love sitting out on the front patio under the heaters and watching people and cars go by, while eating a great meal. The experience gives off quaint small town vibes.”
