“Cured is a true gem! This is a small, intimate restaurant with an excellent eye for detail and quality. The owners, Franny and Joe are culinary and service experts, and put so much effort into creating memorable dining experiences. The cuisine is Japanese adjacent with a west coast twist. I loved the halibut sashimi. It was dressed with extra virgin olive oil, and this really brought out the fat of the halibut and was so savory and balanced. Go treat yourself! <3”
“Favorite restaurant in the trivalley for my hubs and me. Always something new, always fresh. A symphony of flavors!”
“Atmosphere, good drinks (yes plural) and pleasant accommodating wait staff is what makes Posada one of my favorite high-end places to eat. The phenomenal sauces combined with items cooked perfectly make this one of (if not THE) best restaurant in Livermore. Latin meals are their wheel-house; no doubt, Full-stop. With that said, what’s not in their wheel-house are steaks. Don’t get me wrong here, preparation was unparalleled, quality of the meat was another. Quite sub-par for the price. Over all thought, a terrific place to go.”
“This ended up being a happy accident. We were trying to get a seat at a place down the way but after 45 minutes, and with concert tickets in hand, we decided to try this new place. I'm so happy we did. Everything was amazing. Best calamari I've ever had. The salmon and lamb (me and my husband, respectively) we're perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu.
Plus we made it to our concert on time!”

“Had the best lunch today. Gyro bites and Hummus and olive platter was delicious. Zeus Blood cocktail was fabulous and since I’m not a fan of vodka Demitri made it with tequila. He was a great host with the personality and humor to go with it. I will definitely be back.”
“Came in around 1PM on a Saturday, and there were only 2 other pairs there, so my group of 5 was seated immediately. Our server gave us waters right away and took our order within a few minutes. We ordered a couple of bentos, a ramen bowl, and some sushi, with 2 orders of karaage to start. The karaage came out pretty quickly, which was nice and hot, crispy and flavorful. It was so good we ordered another round. Everything else came out just as we were finishing the last plate of karaage, and we all enjoyed it. Food tasted delicious, sushi had a lot of pieces, and everything was nice and fresh. Would definitely come back if we're in the area again.”

“The flavor of their London Fog with oat milk was delicious and instead of just handing us our to-go pastries and sending us on our way, they took the time to warm them, shared more about where they source their tea, and sent us off with a smile. Great place to start your day! ☕️”
“Our favorite restaurant in Livermore now! Love the food. Grew up back east in an italian community. This place is legit! Huge portions. If you sit outside you need to go inside to order which was no problem at all. They can get very busy so be patient. It’s worth the wait. Kevin is so kind and helpful. Makes you feel like family. ❤️”
“Wow this place knocked it out of the park! The menu is laid out well so you can build your own item and flavors. All the ingredients are fresh, sauces are on point, and each hummus is so good! I really liked the shawarma chicken too - not rubbery or hard. I also ordered a pita and it was very fluffy!”
“When I noticed Can Am Pizza popped up in my neighborhood I couldn’t help but want to support a small business, as someone who works for one in the Bay Area. I was craving pizza and my last few experiences with Pizza Guys have been regretful and unlike prior years, long story short… it was time to give Can Am a whirl. And hence I discovered my new favorite pizza restaurant!!! Can Am Pizza is pretty, ingredients are all super FRESH, the toppings are heavenly spread and my golly… the crust is crunchy! In every bite! We ordered the Mega Pizza and the Tandori Chicken Wings… in case you need a delicious and satisfying dinner :)”

“If you just want the best Fish and Chips in the valley or for that matter, anywhere in the bay area, look no further. The ambience is humble but their frying would make any fishmonger proud. Have had Fish and Chips everywhere I go, but this place is simply the best. They do not overuse oil and the color of the Fish and Chips is yellow not brown. Tastes as great as it looks.”
“Food was delicious and the service was exceptional! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.”
“Loved my experience at Las Positas! Such a nice selection of wines in a beautiful setting (the Barbera was my favorite!) Everyone is so friendly and personable, including Sara and Krystal who helped my table. I loved that they had yummy food beyond just cheese and crackers. Chef Curt did a great job with the menu, from the baked brie to the flatbreads to the pork belly tacos. Thanks for a great time! Will definitely be back.”

“Fantastic food, fantastic service, I highly recommend! All the ingredients were fresh and delicious, and the portions are generous.
I could live on the hummus and pita alone.
The Shwarma fries are a perfect game-day dish, perfect to share.
The wraps are great for lunch or dinner.
The staff is fantastic. Great customer service, and very helpful. I like spicy stuff, but my tolerance is admittedly pretty low compared to most people. The crew was great, they explained several menu items to me, and got me just the right level of spice, which I really appreciated!”
“Tried this place with the new ownership ... Overall service was great very nice and helpful with the food recommend... We have the seafood noodle soup and steak&eggs. Really recommend the steak and eggs... We also had the side order of grill oyster. The size was small but the taste is great also recommend those who like seafood.”

“My wife and I look for good breakfast places and Monica's was perfect for us. The food and the atmosphere was great. We will definitely come back with friends and family! I would like the thank the staff for their service and hard work!”
“We went there as it is new in the area, and the review was quite good.
The ambience is quite unique, with antique style decorations, which gives the place a somewhat unique vibe.
We ordered vegetable roll and panipuri for appetizers. The panipuri was average, so nothing out of ordinary. My disappointment (and consequently deduction of 1 star) is due to their vegetable roll, this one is basically spring roll , and not a good one on top of that. I don’t think a traditional Indian restaurant (like this one claim they are), should serve spring roll as it’s no way even close to Indian cuisine.
For main course, we ordered laccha, naan (butter and plain), malai kofta and butter chicken. The breads were all very well cooked and delicious. The malai kofta was extremely rich gravy and worth ordering. The butter chicken had very tender chicken pieces with a rich and buttery gravy. Although the gravy was bit salty, which was a little unfortunate.
For dessert, we ordered kulfi , which was extremely good and worth ordering.
Altogether, a great addition to the buffet of Indian restaurants in the area. Although, this place is nothing out of ordinary, I love their ambience, simple food and service. I will visit again.”

“We thought this place was pretty great. A very jovial atmosphere where people seemed to know each other. Not to say you need to be a regular, we were treated like friends as well. That includes our dog, although she didn’t get her 2024 Livermore vintage but that’s okay! I was also quite please with the wines. None of them were bad and some of them were really quite good. Definitely try the white dessert wine to finish off the day if you like lightly burnt syrupy pancake flavor. Yum!”
“Our visit to Darcie Kent Winery was the highlight of our trip to Livermore. We had the pleasure of enjoying a tasting outside amidst the beautiful vineyards. The setting was picturesque, making the experience even more enjoyable.
The wine itself was excellent. We were particularly impressed with our wine steward, Ian. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable about wine and the local area, but he also has a great sense of humor that added to the fun of the tasting. Ian's recommendations were spot-on, and he guided us through the Mixed Palette flight with enthusiasm. We even got a couple of bonus pours, which was a delightful surprise.
All the wines we tried were well-balanced, and we were so impressed that we decided to join The Portfolio Club. The club offers free shipping, which is perfect for us since we live in Florida.
If you visit Darcie Kent Winery, be sure to ask for Ian—he’s amazing and will undoubtedly enhance your experience!”
“Been here 3 times now since a family member is a wine club member. This is just a small tasting room, but their usually not packed and have both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a section in the back that is for members only. There is only 1 bathroom though so plan accordingly.
They always start you off with a welcome glass of sparkling wine then you choose your tasting. There's 2 teasing options, a normal $20 or a higher end $60 one. Each with 4 normal sized pours, which are all given at once in little caraffes so you can taste at your own pace. Their wines are high quality, more red heavy, but they have a variety. Their style is more earthy, bold, barrel aged reds.
Service is always good. They allow outside food. Street parking is not too difficult. Check them out”
“Besides the wait for the food being over 40 minutes this place was absolutely great! Husband and I both had the SF burgers, with beer battered fries. I had truffle fries and they were delicious! My son had the Mac n cheese. Everything was super delicious and affordable. But the wait for the food was long. For it not being busy it sure was a long wait. But we'll be back.”
“November 17 was our first time at Simply Fondue for a few years. It was as good as/better than I remembered. Food was excellent and Chloe was very friendly and attentive. She explained all of our options. Close to Bankhead Theater is a bonus.”

“My grandkids enjoyed playing in the play area. We don't see to many of them anymore.
Parking: What more can you say it's a big parking lot.
Kid-friendliness: They have the play area that my grandkids enjoyed.
Wheelchair accessibility: They have handicap parking and entrance.”
“Came with a friend who had a membership. Every wine from the tasting was pleasant and came with a great description from our server. He was very kind and knowledgeable. You could tell he had a strong passion for wine”
“Great staff! Better beer!”

“I always stop here for some Pho when driving through Livermore. It is a lovely family owned business where you are always greeted with a smile.
Parking: It is a shopping center parking lot with plenty of space right in front of Viet Noms.
Kid-friendliness: They have both hi chairs and booster seats. Kids can get drinks in plastic cups with lids and straws which reduces spillage.
Also the menus are laminated, so they are spill proof and safe from babies chewing on them.
Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant has two doors in the front that both open, so wheelchairs can enter no problem.”

“Had a great experience! Food portions are bigger than I expected, so I definitely could have gone without ordering a second item. Great prices for amount of food and it was delicious! The server was so kind and very on top of our service. It was a busy night and she apologized for the wait, but honestly, I think we maybe waited 10-15 minutes? Which didn’t feel like anything abnormal while waiting for a meal. I also left my to-go container by accident and she tracked me down outside to make sure I had it. Very kind and over the top service for us! Definitely recommend supporting!”
“Delicious food in a very pleasant atmosphere. We are from out of state and looked online for places to eat. New Thai Eatery and Grill came up and we decided to try it. So glad we found it. We had a combo Pad Thai, Crab Fried Rice and the Mango Sticky Rice. Very very good.”
“This is an excellent coffee spot with plenty of seating, both indoors and outdoors. I tried the NICCO, a latte with cinnamon, orange and vanilla flavor. I was immediately impressed by the subtle orange flavor in the coffee. The barista was very helpful in guiding me to the perfect drink, especially with such a great selection to choose from. Overall, it’s definitely a must-visit coffee shop if you’re in or passing through Livermore.”
“The vibes of this place are great and I love working from here but from the few times I’ve visited, the taste of the coffee has been just okay.
During a recent visit, I ordered one of the Halloween themed drinks, which clearly stated it included oat milk on the sign. After ordering, they charged me extra for the oat milk. I was under the assumption this would be included because it was one of the holiday drinks. Usually I’ve had really pleasant experiences with staff but when I approached the staff to ask, they just brushed me off this time. It would have been helpful if the sign was clearer in the store.”

“Been coming to the location pretty consistently for the last couple years. After initial opening, the food quality dropped a bit and fries were soggy and chicken was moderate temp. However, the last several visits, the food has consistently been hot and fresh, fries slightly crisp and salted and the same consistently friendly service.
After having issues twice at the Pleasanton location, always with veggie wrap, I've never had an issue with my order being correct at this location.
This past visit the line was not long, but seemed to take forever for the line to move. I still rate it higher than any other fast food in the area for accuracy, friendliness and promptness in receiving our order. The cleanliness indoors keeps us coming back as well.
Vegetarian options: Southwest veggie wrap is good. Not sure if it shows up on the menu, but has lettuce, black beans, shredded cheese, corn and tastes great with the avocado ranch dressing”
“One of the few left around, we stopped in for a hot dog and was pleasantly surprised. The establishment was clean, service was great and the food was so fresh! It was a nice little change for a fast food lunch. Their fries are always delicious, anyway.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wide door was with plenty of pull up seating.”
“A novel and fun way to try different beers. It’s like a yogurt shop but you pour yourself beer. You are charged by the ounce. Try 1 or 20 it’s up to you. I enjoyed being able to try as many as I wanted. They also had a nice cocktail bar. Hanger One Mandarin Vodka! Yummm!”
“The best part I like about here is, I get to customize the way want. I have full control on the ingredients. I can bake when I want. I can also be creative and also control cost. It is not a gourmet upscale pizza but the result is very good and consistent. Very happy with the process.”
“This location is very professional and clean. My family and I stopped in for lunch. The cashier, Abigail helped us place our order. She was very nice, professional, and polite. After we placed our order, we received the food very quickly which was surprising because they were pretty busy. After we received our order we noticed one of the sandwiches wasn’t made right. We brought the sandwich to Abigail. She understood and agreed there was a miscommunication and remade the sandwich without any hesitation. Her customer service is amazing. She made the sandwich and gave it to us. Food was fresh and delicious. This Togo’s location is A+.”
“First time here and everything from service to the food was AMAZING!!!”
“Have been coming to pizza guys and the location since they opened. Not sure why it's taken this long to leave a review.Always a positive experience and Pizza ?Prices have gone up over the last few years like most. But not as bad as others.Also one of the few places left that still gives you free Plates, napkins ,cheese and pepper.”
“This our first time in our Five star Pho restaurant. And it’s was cost $260 dollars for lunch. The #1 Combo with a side of meatball was so amazing and the Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk was ? I get this nine flat. And the #1 Combo was 10/10. When I get this, yes ?% Yesterday was was Veterans Day. I like to take this opportunity thank you for our service.”

“We appreciated the show last night, we don't get out much, just happened to be at the Marriott Livermore, and one of your customers recommended we come. Loved the environment, music, show, and the people.. Maybe we will see you guys one day again, Google : Stevie Ray & The Deacon to find out more about, our music, and who we are. Fixing to release our first single, called "Feeling Dirty" .which I finished in Livermore Sunday morning.. Rock on”
“I've eaten at this restaurant at least 200 times, it's that good, and they always greeted me by name. Now 8 years later it's October 2024 and it's every bit as good as then. On top of that, it's a bargain. Kung Pao chicken is my favorite. Mongolian Beef is also very tasty. By coincidence, I visited at the same time as another truck driver, there's unlimited parking in the neighborhood, there's no problem at all if your truck is 60 feet long. He had the delicious large bowl of Wonton soup, another favorite. We could have eaten anywhere but of course we both chose Ming's Garden knowing it's a hidden gem. This is a place for those who appreciate healthy food expertly prepared. Wishing them all the success in the world.
Parking: Very large shared parking lot, plus unlimited on-street parking with a short, pleasant landscaped walkway. Safe, clean, quiet neighborhood of light industry buildings.”
“Super friendly workers. Small selection of fresh vegetables but they have the staples. The poblano peppers looked old and wrinkly. Limes were dry. Marinated pork, beef and chicken are tasty and chopped up and ready to cook. Although the last batch of chicken smelled spoiled after we got it home so we didn't cook it.”

“A great centerpiece on the dessert table! Not only was it visually good but it was extremely tasty! My guests had to ask for a second slice each coz of how good it was!!! Highly recommended! And I must add, great customer service rendered by Stephanie!”

“Wow, stepping into Taj Mahal Restaurant felt like entering a palace! The decor was absolutely stunning, setting the stage for what turned out to be an unforgettable dining experience. And the service? Top-notch! The staff and Vikas made our whole party feel like royalty from the moment we walked in. Now, let's talk about the food – it was simply divine. The tandoori salmon with pineapple was like a flavor explosion. It was a delightful fusion of flavors, perfectly balancing the sweetness of the pineapple with the smokiness of the tandoori. And those lamb chops? Let me tell you, they were so tender and flavorful. And the chicken curry? Rich and flavorful, with spices that were different but authentic. And let's not forget about the drinks. Taj Mahal offers a fantastic selection, from classic Indian teas to creative cocktails. Each sip was a delight that perfectly complemented the incredible dishes. What truly elevated the experience was the ambiance. The background music set the perfect mood, and the robot waiters added a touch of futuristic charm. Plus, having Bollywood movie music videos playing in the background added an extra layer of entertainment. In conclusion, Taj Mahal Restaurant isn't just a place to eat; it's an experience. With its breathtaking decor, exceptional service, mouthwatering menu, and captivating ambiance, it's a culinary journey you won't want to miss.”

“Small but perfect spot to relax and unwind. They have corn hole, and a big fire pit that sits 8. Dogs are welcomed. Atmosphere was perfect and well maintained. You order from the truck then they give you a buzzard let you know food is ready to pick up. They come around and take your orders for drinks. I love coming to places like this. My family and I will definitely return if we're in the area.”
“We’ve been here four times and have never been disappointed. Every time, the food and drinks have been excellent. They recently updated their menu, and everything is fantastic. You should try all the drinks on the menu.”
