Best Date Night Restaurants in Moraga

Food was delicious (I had the coq au vin and my friend had the scallops). Service was great as well. I've been wanting to try this place forever and I will definitely be back.

Had a wonderful lunch, Ronnie was our server and she was outstanding!

Being an avid House of Prime Rib(HOPR)customer for over a decade, I made sure to temper my expectations with this restaurant that has only been open for a couple of months…with that in mind, I must say that my family and I were pleasantly surprised with our overall experience. The ambiance was cute and elegant…the main dining area felt a bit chaotic with the design…large, two leveled room with a high ceiling that felt cluttered in the middle. Tables were tightly compacted and I felt like no matter how close I sat towards my table it seemed like I was in the way of the staff. There’s a separate dining room with its own bar that felt more lounge-like and intimate. I didn’t get to see the upper garden area/outside area. Now to the important part… the food!! Similar to HOPR, they had 3 options for cut size…plus another for kids and each cut includes a salad and 2 sides. They even have an option for sharing… for a small price of course. The salad options were okay… felt light on the dressing but the sides were delicious… pending on how you like your creamed spinach, this creamed spinach was delicious as well as the potatoes gratin. The star of the show/prime rib was definitely impressive! To those that love prime rib, you’ll definitely be able to taste the subtle texture and nuance of the flavor. I am not going to compare it to HOPR…just unfair to do that. Overall, the entire experience was great… solid 4/5 stars. The pricing is a bit on the higher side and I’m sure there will be tweaks and changes as it continues to grow but I will say this…the east bay definitely now has a go to prime rib spot for those special or even ordinary occasions to go to!

We ate dinner at The Hideout Kitchen on New Years Day for the first time and it was a lovely experience. We had the honey fried chicken which came with mashed potatoes and sauteed kale. Very yummy! There are very few restaurants in the East Bay with great fried chicken, and this is one of them. Not greasy, just crispy and so flavorful. Large portions. We skipped dessert but the choices looked delicious. Our server was fantastic but unfortunately I don’t have her name. Really impressed with her. The ambiance is relaxing and elegant with bookshelves holding old books and a vintage vibe. We will be back!

Excellent squid ink paella and appetizers. The paella required at least 20 minutes to prepare so let the wait staff know or order it ahead of the rest. Attentive service
