   We came for brunch and loved our experience! The vibe is great, love the indoor outdoor feeling. My salad was really good, service was excellent. For sure coming back.

   When located in Lafayette, The Cooperage had outstanding spareribs that everyone raved about. At the new location in Walnut Creek they stopped service spareribs. Much to our surprise, this time when we went spareribs were again on the menu. Definitely not the same as previously. Extremely disappointing and will never order them again unless they go back to the original cut of ribs and dry rub recipe as in the past.

   My wife and I went here for dinner on Saturday night. We made reservations and we went to our table almost immediately. Store is very busy and very noisy. The service stack took our order and everything went pretty quickly. Although very noisy, the food is very good. The service is excellent and they really make you feel at home. Highly recommended.

   We tried this place for our weekend Brunch and we were delighted with their food selections that were delicious! Our favorite was the Chicken Waffles, Tuna Tartare and the short ribs omellete! Their beet salad was also amazing! Wish they would serve biscuits with turkey gravy though :) Overall the ambiance, food, and service were excellent! We would definitely come back again.

We’ll definitely take your suggestion for biscuits and turkey gravy into consideration. It’s great to hear the ambiance and service were top-notch as well. We look forward to welcoming you back next time!

   Our server was excellent and service was great. The hostess was accommodating with my father's disability and seating. The Sea Bass dish is by far the best dish. If I went back, I'd order that again. The Steak Frites was disappointing. It looked delicious but the steak was flavorless and we couldn't figure out why. My dad had the ahi tuna burger and that was good, too. Overall, the service and food was great. The biggest ding in points is the noise level. It is LOUD. We could hear conversations around the room due to the echo. In my opinion, it seemed louder than a pub. I frequent Norm's in Danville and I expect it to be loud because it's a pub but Cooperage sound level seemed the same if not louder, not what I was expecting for the price point.

   Therese, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad the service and Sea Bass stood out, but sorry to hear the Steak Frites didn’t meet expectations. We’ll definitely look into the noise level as well to ensure a more comfortable dining experience. We appreciate your input and will work on improving where needed.

    The Couperage is a restaurant I would normally recommend and two nights ago we went there based on my recommendation. Like the ambience, the service, the drink variety although a bit pricey and the food. Unfortunately this last time out of 4 of us who ordered steak, 3 were not made to our order. Mid way I swap my steak with my friend’s. Apparently his was not made to his order. I noticed the difference in the size of steaks as well. So our experience with Steak and Frites was not good. The appetizers were good and seemed like everyone else in our group enjoyed their food. I still recommend this restaurant with the hope they do better with steaks and the frites.

    Maryam, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the ambiance, service, and appetizers, but we’re truly sorry to hear about the issues with the steaks. We definitely understand how disappointing it can be when the meal doesn’t come out as expected, especially after recommending us to others. We’ll be sure to address the steak preparation and the size inconsistency with our kitchen team, and we’ll take another look at the frites to improve their consistency. We appreciate your constructive feedback and will work on making these areas better.
