    small portions, high priced food & menu has become a lot smaller. Had to waive down service every time we needed drinks, order food, etc.

    We hadn't been to Rooftop since before covid and were totally wowed. Of course, where else would you want to be on a warm, sunny winter day but perched atop Walnut Creek looking on Mt. Diablo and the surrounding hills. We arrived for lunch and all three of us loved our meals -- the dumpling starter was fantastic, and everyone loved their lunch (shrimp tacos, pappardelle/caesar, salmon/caesar). Our server was fantastic, the support staff attentive, the vibe was chill and the music great. Who could ask for anything more. Rooftop is now at the top of our WC dining list.

    Rooftop was incredibly noisy, the service was initially slow to be attentive and then improved, the food was only mediocre, the Calamari was not crisp and the short ribs were not tasty.

    Really love this place in the summer… but it was still really nice for a winter birthday celebration. Vibe and drinks were on point… first time having something other than starters and the entree was delicious.

    Took about 20+ mins to take our order, truffle fries tasted like regular garlic fries, espresso martinis were not good at all.

    I love the rooftop open air dining experience. We sat outside with a great view of the Mt Diablo, on a bright sunny day. Service was prompt. Allergy accommodated. I had the poke bowl-- it was delicious, and fresh. The other person had the shrimp tacos and thought them good, but not a wow.The iced tea was freshly made. Server was friendly, quick with the delivery of our lunches, and good about refilling water, and read allergy note on the reservation. My only issue was that server could not take my Apple pay at the table -- I had to walk across the restaurant to the computer- need to update the payment system.
