Restaurants near Mount Diablo

The appetizers: calamari , bruschetta were very good. The salads were very good and well. The entrees were mixed with the salmon being very good as well as the eggplant Parmesan. The petrale was fair to good. The best part of the evening was our waiter James. He was great in every aspect and is the best waiter I have encountered in a very long time. I eat out regularly and James was excellent. I hope his employer realizes what a great server he has.

The Cooperage was very busy when we arrived with many waiting for tables. We were seated promptly for our reservation and the noise level was pretty high with the restaurant full and the pull-down doors closed due to weather. Service was friendly but there were gaps in attention at times. We were not in a hurry, but our entrée orders was not taken until after we had finished eating our appetizers and it took a long time for our entrees to arrive compared to tables around ours. I am sure the busy night with a full house was a factor. Food was great, appetizers tuna tartare and brussels sprouts, entrees steak frites, fried chicken, ahi sandwich, and short ribs. The group enjoyed craft cocktails, wine and draft beer. Look forward to our next visit.

The food, wine, and customer service was excellent. The environment was very relaxing and homey. Shadowbrook is the perfect place for a date night and/or a night out with friends.

this is probably one of the best vegan restaurant in the bay area. I have been going there for almost a year and the food quality stays high. If you love mushrooms this is the place where you should go. I must say, you really don't need to be vegan to enjoy eating there. Our waiter is as always very attentive and considerate. To summarize: It's delicious, the service is impeccable, the setting is joyful, and the prices are very reasonable.
