Always friendly and attentive. The food is very fresh and nicely cooked with obvious care. Pork Schnitzel wonderful; Greek Salad Lamb fab; Crab cakes great; great crisp fries; short ribs delish; black bean chili very good; salads super fresh…

Lovely experience for lunch. The menu had a lot of diverse offerings (including wine and dessert) and the food was beautifully plated and tasty. Service was friendly and professional, and they didn’t mind us sitting there for two hours to catch up over lunch (we lost track of time and they just went with it). The atmosphere is light, open, and inviting. Parking is a little tricky since Orinda is tiny, and the entrance to the restaurant took a bit to find (just FYI, so arrive early if meeting someone). The bathroom is shared with other restaurants and is outside, across the walkway, and has a single stall. That’s not a factor in my review at all, just setting the expectation. I world definitely eat here again. I recommend the BLTA salad (and wedge salad, if it’s on the menu) and cappuccino.

Amazing food and wonderful owners. Brunch is the best. Great outdoor seating. Always get the french fries.

Been here a few times and it’s always a disappointment. The food is just OK, the servers are running their tails off but the place is super disorganized. Food took over an hour to be served today and almost that long the last time. Conclusion: meh.

This place has excellent food and super friendly staff. I recommend coming here for a kick back lunch because it is off the road and has a great outdoor seating area that is quiet and has a super nice atmosphere. Tons of healthy options as well. I had the burrata and pulled pork quesadilla which were delicious but I cant wait to come back and try one of the salads as well!

Excellent, quality ingredients, meals that are prepared with care. I wish there were a couple of options for vegan diners; ones for which we do not have to request so many modifications.

Waited 16 minutes for the waitress to walk by our table twice without acknowledging us. We ended up leaving as our order was never taken and felt it would take 2-8 hours before ever being spoken to after being sat down.

This is a review for the caesar salad, which I ordered on DoorDash. Omg, it is soooooo good. The dressing is really delicious, well worth it, though the price is reasonable to begin with. It’s about $11.50 for the salad. Next time I’ll try it with dungeness crab salad on top. I was so surprised at the quality of the salad dressing. Sorry for underestimating any restaurant, but I moved here from New York, the home of Carbone. The caesar dressing is on par with Carbone’s tableside caesar salad in terms of the flavor.
