Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Pinole

Born and raised in the Bay Area but have been living in SF proper for 14 years now. Kinda ashamed to say I finally checked out this SF institute today but better late than never as the food and service were absolutely incredible! I consider myself a cioppino connoisseur so had to try theirs and cross it off my list. I must say, the cioppino at Original Joe’s definitely did not disappoint and immediately shot to my top 5 list for sure. Throw in the impeccable service we received from our server David and his fellow team members and I can see why it’s become such a San Francisco landmark! Kudos to Original Joe’s in North Beach!

Ours was a party of four. Our server, Zamire was exceptional and attentive. We went with her recommendations and enjoyed everything. Highly recommend and will return.

Beautiful location for a celebration meal with friends - we also love to have lunch at the Waterfront because of the views. Good place to keep in mind when you have visitors...lovely decorations for Christmas too.

I first experienced this restaurant chain in Barcelona and have enjoyed its California cousin. Unusual and delicious food, great service. Reasonable value.

Charming atmosphere, excellent wait staff, well prepared food. We had a lovely evening from start to finish. All the food is made carefully with good ingredients and great combinations of flavors from the beet salad to the Brussels sprouts and ice berg wedge to the steak frites. And the desserts were excellent. Thank you!
