    Reuben with sweet potato fries
    Glenn L.

    Saturday evening for dinner (they close early Sunday and Monday). Was craving a burger so ordered a California burger (bacon cheeseburger with avocado) with onion rings. We also got the grilled salmon dinner. Both were good, with the.onion rings being really good. Service is very friendly here.

    Went to JP's Bistro after the movies, which is in Martinez. It is a very nice place, that serve breakfast and lunch, also have a small dinner menu on days they close at 9pm. Had their breakfast, I got a hamburger patty with eggs and my gf got Canadian bacon with eggs. The Canadian bacon was nice thick and tasty. The service was excellent friendly, attentive, and food came out fast. It has booths and tables, the lighting not too bright. I want to try their other things on the menu like their prime rib and their lunch menu. If you're looking for another breakfast spot or even takeout in Martinez, JP's Bistro is a place to go.

    Breakfast on point. Chicken fried steak was very good. Service still great. Servers are nice and quick. Coffee still weak.

    so i do not go to this place for the food, i go to hang out for breakfast with two friends, they eat bacon and eggs and hash browns and are happy,, i need a healthier diet and there is almost nothing on this menu i can eat. that is why i do not give it 5 starts because i like the people who run it. great. Fish and green vegetables - Halibut and bokchoy is okay,, white rice not but i ate some of it that is on me, but normally this is not available for breakfast but they did, so close?

    Crispy fried chicken sandwich, side of fries

    If you're looking for a good food spot to grab lunch with colleagues and friends, go to JP's Bistro. Cozy and casual, JP's Bistro offers a variety of items on their menu from egg scrambles to breakfast burritos to sandwiches. I went to JP's to grab lunch with a colleague while we were passing through the area for work. The lunch hour was warm and inviting. The restaurant was full of workers like us passing through to grab a bite to eat. At the tables, family and friends sat, catching up with each other over plates piled high with sandwiches and fries. The servers greeted us, and my colleague and I were quickly seated. We were served glasses of water. After looking over the menu, I ordered a crispy fried chicken sandwich with a side of fries. It wasn't long before the food came out, and did it look good! The sandwich sat on the left; a generous piece of fried chicken rested on a layer of sliced pickles and mayonnaise, all between two fluffy buns. The fries had been piled onto the right side of the plate. It was a boldly simple presentation. I picked up the sandwich and immediately put it back down. The chicken was still piping hot from the fryer, and the heat scalded my fingertips. I started on the fries instead. Warm and comforting, each fry was a couple of delightful bites of crispy goldenness and starchy potato. When the fried chicken sandwich had cooled just enough, I took a bite. Delicious! Fluffy bread, crispy batter and juicy chicken filled my mouth with a tender yet satisfying crunch. The pickles brought a bit of balance and tang with them, and the creamy mayonnaise and sweet buns rounded everything out. I would have stayed longer, but we ended up taking the rest of our lunches to go since we were short on time. I was glad for the to-go boxes. They were spacious enough for my lunch; I piled the rest of my lunch into a box with ease. My time at JP's was an enjoyable one. If I'm working in the area in the near future, JP's Bistro would surely be one of the places I'd recommend to my colleagues to grab lunch.

    fish tacos
    Ruth B.

    So good! Great food and flavors! Fish tacos are amazing with crunch from veggies and a bit of kick. The ultimate skillet was hot and filling. And so glad we had the cheezy bacon fries. The bacon and cheese made it a standout. Service is always good. Many locals and workers stop by. Friendly vibe.

    Blackened Salmon Salad
    Michele G.

    Hey there Party People, I have to say I've never been a fan of take out for obvious reasons. Jp's Bistro has changed my mind the food was still warm when we got it home and the fries and onion rings weren't soggy. I ham the Ham Melt. It was not greasy and just super tasty. I am an onion ring snob so it takes allot to impress me. These onion rings were still firm and crunchy considering then were take out....the flavor was spot on as well. Hubby got the Tuna melt and gave it a 4 out of 5 stars. Thought the fries were good. My Friend Got the Salmon Salad. She loved it and the Salmon was blackened to perfection with fresh made guacamole on top. Will definitely hit this place again next time eating at the restaurant but I know I can always take it home and it will still be amazing. Be kind to one another

    Entrance next door to Nob Hill Foods in Martinez
    Glenn R.

    So glad we've discovered JP's Bistro. Breakfast is their specialty but there are some really good non-breakfast items on the menu as well. Highly recommend their soup, sandwiches and sides. We find the servings generous enough that I usually split a meal with my spouse. It's a great way to eat out for lunch and not get indigestion from laying down $50+ for lunch. We take-out a lot and the staff is always warm, smiling and remembers us. Nothing over-the-top here just regular folks serving good food to good neighbors. Check 'em out in Martinez!

    We have come to Six Eleven several times now. We always eat outside because the area by the creek…read moreis very inviting. This is truly a great location and we've been fortunate to be there when they had live music on two occasions. This was the case on our most recent visit as well. The service is also always warm and friendly, from the Hostess to the bar to the wait staff. Now to the food. I always wish and hope it will meet my expectations for such a great spot. But I'm left wanting. Let's start with the disappointing so I can end with the good. I've had the shrimp scampi twice now. The shrimp are cooked nicely, plump and juicy. While I prefer capers with my scampi, that addition would have completely killed the dish because it was already overly salted. Shrimp are stored in salted water when they are caught and frozen, so there is no need to add more salt. And I love salt--don't get me wrong! I implore the chef to do a taste test with no added salt -- and then add capers! The noodles were good, however, despite the overly salted shrimp. The butter, garlic, wine sauce is tasty. We've also had their margarita pizza, and found it decent, but a little lacking in flavor. And we've had the calamari a couple of times. The first time we liked it - 4-stars! But this last time it had no flavor. We didn't finish it or ask for a to-go box. It was just flat and not very crispy. Consistency is not over-rated. W has always ordered the fish tacos and he loves them. I've had them, too, and also found them quite tasty. On their own, a solid 4-star dish. We will continue to come here for the ambiance and service, and hope the food gets to a four-star level. Here's to hoping

    The good: outdoor patio is cute and they had a band…read more The bad: Chicken sandwich was tough and truffle fries were basically grease soaked battered sticks. My friend's fettuccini was inedible and we had to have them take it back. No cheese flavor at all. Just noodles in a greasy slurry. Service was very slow and never got our server back to pay the bill. Had to flag down another tables waitress to assist.

We lucked out and found good parking, but I can see if it's busy downtown-parking will be challenging. Downtown Martinez sure has changed and looks good! We sat in a booth in the corner with a ripped leather bench, but I believe that is due to the many patrons this place has-great wear & tear. Seating & dining is adequate; a homey feel. The staff acknowledged us when we first got there. We went Thursday afternoon and while it was not packed, there were a lot of people in and out of the restaurant. There were also regulars there. The ambience was good! There were many options on the menu to choose from. Portions were good and hearty. Service was fast! The food was delicious and very filling! We ordered funnel cake fries to go! Couldn't pass that up! This is a wonderful brunch spot! We definitely will be back again!

Attentive, friendly, helpful, and constantly bringing food and checking on us! Our group enjoyed the calamari, crab cakes and carpaccio as appetizers. Everyone ranted and raved about all of those, but WOW those crab cakes were absolutely DIVINE! Even those in our party who normally don't enjoy crab cakes had to partake because the rest of us were so enthralled. We had to order three orders of crab cakes - they were THAT GOOD! Definitely the best I have EVER had and I always order crab cakes when we go out to eat and they are on the menu. For dinner we all had a huge assortment of items. All delicious! Chicken parmigiana, cozze & vongole, mushroom ravioli, salmon, two of us enjoyed filet entrees. We were all very delighted with everything that we ordered! We cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough! Delectable! Perfection! Thank you, Bella Siena, for making our loved one's graduation celebration so PERFECT!

Staff wise everything was on point except for the guy who didn't come back with my Parmesan cheese. Food wise the calamari, arugula salad and crème brûlée was on point. But I got the lobster ravioli with shrimp and it was super dry and salty. As a dish that was advertised as being what this place was known for I was very disappointed. However since this was a first date I didn't want to seem high maintenance so I did not tell any of the staff my opinion of the food. My date did ask me at the end I was honest. Would I be back? Yes, but won't be getting the raviolis again, what a let down!
