Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Walnut Creek

Overall 4-5 stars, our server was a bit overwhelmed, which initially resulted in spotty service initially. Thus the 3 stars for service

We love this place- a nice hidden gem in downtown WC. We love sitting at the bar and Lucas is great- very knowledgeable and an experienced bartender. They had a three course prefix for Valentines Day which was a little pricey but delicious nonetheless. We just wish they still offered their delicious homemade bread during the prefix. One of our favorite date night locations- we’ll be back!

Great food and great service. Louisa was a great server.

I took my lady to an early valentine's date. Rainy night! Street parking is challenging, you have to use the parking garage, not too far away. When we got there the hostess set us up at a window seat which was nice except for the fact that it was storming out and the roof leaked right by our table LOL! The service staff was there in an instant and moved us accordingly. The ambiance was warm, fun, and the place is lively! And a bit loud. But the experience was worth it! Overall, we had a great time; the service was excellent, the waiter was knowledgeable-friendly and efficient (Nick). And the food was excellent! I was really delighted cus you just don't get that at many restaurants these days. I had the short ribs that were done perfectly on a bed of with ornately placed vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes. My date had a bowl of steamers and mussels with a flavorful broth, and it was sprinkled with fries...great touch! Our wine choice was their Cote du Rhone red which paired very well with the short ribs. For dessert we had their warmed chocolate cake with gelato, it was great. We will not hesitate to come back.

This is my favorite Spanish restaurant in the Bay Area. The food is exquisite with tasty paellas. My favorite is the Tomahawk Paella. The have excellent mixologists with delicious drinks. The service is excellent and friendly. Be prepared to wait several minutes even if you have a reservation, as they restaurant is always busy. I highly recommend this restaurant.
