    Mai tai
    Si Si L.

    A few moms and I came here for happy hour before catching a movie at the Lot. They have a pretty decent HH menu. We shared sliders, truffled fries and crispy calamari plus we each got a Mai Tai. The portions were decent for HH. The drinks were strong even though it was HH pricing. It was a Friday evening, but not busy. We were able to get a table in their HH area right away. We had to flag down our waitress a few times, but maybe that's just HH service. This is really close to my house, and I would definitely come here again for HH.

    My filet mignon was perfectly cooked medium rare. The mushrooms were delicious and weren't too oily. Brussels sprouts had a good crunch to it but I could have done without the bacon. I loved the different sauces they had to offer! The tarragon bearnaise was a bit too vinegary for me l but I really enjoyed the red wine bordelaise sauce. The ambience was beautifully lit and perfect for a date night out. Our server was helpful and friendly.

    It's been years since I've been here. Came for dinner. We didn't have reservations but they were able to seat us. Same ambience. Mood lighting. We were looking forward to have a really good steak! My husband and I ordered the Tomahawk for Two, a salad and a couple sides. Our server was nice but he rarely checked on us. Only when our salads came, when he cleared the salad plates, and next was when the steak came out. Market little gem lettuce: This isn't your typical green salad. It was more like a coleslaw with a lot of wonton strips. Not my favorite. I was hoping for more greens and less dressing. Tomahawk ribeye for two: Huge. Said it would take 45 min which was fine. We ordered it medium rare but it came out pretty rare in the middle for my liking. Although it came with rows of different salts on the cutting board, the steak itself needed flavor. Overall, it wasn't bad but I was hoping for it to be better. Love me a charred steak that's seared on the outside. Sautéed spinach: The seasoning was okay. But also too much. Truffle Fries: Fries are fries. These weren't worth the $14 price tag. I think their sweet spot is during the week for happy hour. It's also the best deal.

    I came here years ago at the Santana Row location and had a much better experience, so this visit was really disappointing. I will say the service was great, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. The sliders felt very basic, something my teenage niece could have put together. They were served on Hawaiian rolls and ended up being mostly bread. The truffle fries arrived cold, which was a letdown, and the calamari was mostly sitting on a bed of lettuce, making the portion look bigger than it actually was. Overall, it just did not match the quality I remembered. I would never return for happy hour. I left hungry and wanted to just get out of there and spends my money elsewhere.

    Great place for happy hour! I met work friends who were in town and we had an enjoyable experience. I would definitely go back for happy hour. The prices were reasonable and the drinks were great. Service is always excellent. I could exist on french fries and cocktails.

    We went to LB Steak in San Ramon to celebrate a birthday. We were promptly greeted and seated by the charming hostess. We ordered oysters, steak tartare, filet mignon, Wagyu burgers, and a huge tomahawk steak, truffle fries and Brussels sprouts. Food was excellent as always, and Maria provided excellent service. The dining room was full but the time we left. Earlier there was a part of 12 ladies celebrating lunar New Year, so it was too lively and hard to carry on a conversation. Bishop Ranch offers a lot of parking in the parking structure, outside ground level too, and there is an option for valet parking. The food and service at both San Ramon and Santana Room were excellent, it's only a matter of choosing which location to go to.

    Came over for a date night and we were genuinely impressed by the vibes and food! We arrived at 8:50 to a 9 o'clock reservation and were almost immediately sat down. After looking over the menu we ordered drinks and a bread basket for $7. The bread was definitely unique olive sourdough, regular sourdough, rosemary focaccia. The bread was decent but it didn't taste that fresh. We got our food in less than 20 minutes of ordering. The steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. Mac and cheese is definitely some of the best I've had from a steakhouse. This was my first time trying LBs and it's one of my favorites. I guess we got lucky with our server and it not being so busy. Everything was to our liking we were not disappointed. Definitely give them a try!!

    From happy hour menu - Wagyu Slider : AMERICAN CHEESE, LETTUCE, TOMATO, MUSTARD AÏOLI ~ no longer avail as of Feb2026

    Updating my review from last time there is a slight change in the happy hour menu. I've attached a picture as of February 2026. Happy Hour is now Sun to Fri 3 to 6pm. Disappointed the burger isn't on the happy hour menu anymore. The sliders looks like to be the replacement. Not quite the same ( see picture )

    Boneless ribeye and bone marrow

    I visited LB Steak for a holiday end of the year team lunch. I have been to the Santana Row location years ago, but this time we went to the San Ramon location. We had a group of nine and made our reservation over the phone since the online system would not allow a party that large. We arrived right when they opened at 11:30 on a Monday. We started with appetizers and ordered the calamari and the house bread. The calamari had good texture but definitely needed more sauce. The green sauce on the plate looked nice but was not something you could really dip into. The whipped butter for the bread was very good. For my meal I ordered the boneless ribeye cooked medium with a side of bone marrow. The steak came out cooked correctly and was seasoned well. The quality was good. It was not the best steak I have had, but it was enjoyable and not chewy. The bone marrow was delicious. As a group we shared several sides which included truffle fries, mac and cheese, a loaded potato and brussels sprouts. Everything tasted good. The mac and cheese was just okay since it was a little watery and the flavor was not as rich as I prefer. Our server was polite and efficient but not very personable. He took our orders and checked in when needed but did not really engage with us. Overall LB Steak is a decent choice. It is not my top pick for a steakhouse because there are better options in the Bay Area. My manager chose it since it was centrally located for everyone on our team which worked out well. It was a good meal but not a standout experience.

    We recently dined at the Bishop Ranch location of LB Steak in San Ramon for a special birthday celebration and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. To start on a positive note, our server Mike was attentive and provided good service throughout the evening. However, the food quality did not meet expectations, especially given that our meal was nearly $400. * The sautéed white gulf prawns were average * The salads were fine * The boneless ribeye (ordered medium rare) came out rare and was very fatty/gristly * The hamburger was dry * The petite filet was undercooked (rare instead of medium rare) * The lobster was overcooked and chewy * Sides were acceptable but did not make up for the issues with the main dishes There was also confusion about lobster availability when ordering, which added to the inconsistency of the experience. This was meant to be a meaningful birthday dinner, which made the experience especially disappointing. I did try to contact the restaurant directly through their website form and by calling multiple times but have not received any response. Based on past visits, we expected much better and hope the restaurant improves its quality and consistency.

    To me, Lb Steak had the most appealing Restaurant Week offering on paper, and fortunately the execution did not disappoint. The lobster roll was the best I've had outside Maine. The steak was a ribeye, providing an exceptional value. For appetizers, you can't go wrong with a properly made Caesar salad; however, the clam chowder was forgettable. Although I cannot comment on the regular menu, I was satisfied with the quality of the Restaurant Week special. I also want to mention that out of three places I frequented for Restaurant Week, LB was the only one displaying their special. Kudos to management for taking the promotion seriously and spending the extra time to train staff!

    VISIT & RESERVATION: We came here for Restaurant Week. I've dined at LB Steak several times over the last few years and was excited to try their new prix-fixe offering. When I made the reservation online, I noticed that a credit card was required to book for the Restaurant Week option, but not for the standard menu. It made me wonder why that was necessary. Since we were a group of 4, I chose the prix-fixe option since that's what we were all coming here for. When we arrived, the hostess informed me that no booth was available, even though I had requested one in the reservation notes. It seemed to be the first time she saw the note, as she did a double-take before taking us to our table, which told me the request hadn't been reviewed in advance. She gave me the option of sitting at a regular table or a half booth w/2 chairs on the other side. I declined since it would've been weird for our party of 4. We were then seated at a regular table in the main dining room. On top of that, we were only given two prix-fixe menus for our party of 4, which felt like another small oversight since they make you pick your menu in the reservation. SERVICE: Our server, Alejandro, was unfortunately neither welcoming nor attentive. Since this was the first visit for two members of our party, I felt a bit embarrassed by the lack of hospitality. Our drink order took a while to be taken, and throughout the meal, he checked on us only a few times. When he did, the interactions felt unwelcoming, rather than warm. Almost like he dreaded coming to our table and only stopped by to check off a box to say he did. The service was extremely disappointing and not consistent with past experiences here. DRINKS: Hubby loves his old fashioned so he got one of those and their ice cube with the engraving is always so impressive to us. I ordered a mocktail which was good but a tad too sweet, while the other two in our party ordered a glass of wine which they seemed to enjoy. FOOD: We all selected the prix-fixe menu. -Starter: The Caesar salad was excellent, with anchovies that added a nice touch. Someone in our group had the clam chowder, and they thought it was very good. -Entrée: My steak frites was cooked to the requested medium-rare and was tender, but lacked seasoning. In the past, LB Steak presented a tray of assorted salts, which was a nice detail, but this time I was simply given a salt shaker. The bearnaise sauce was cold and goopy. When I asked our server about it, he said it's served like that. I didn't eat it and wasn't needed. -Dessert: I chose the apple pie, which I enjoyed, though it could have been served warmer. Others in the group found it too sweet. One only ate half, and the other barely touched theirs. My husband ordered the lava cake, but it lacked the lava molten center and instead had a static, goopy chocolate filling. While less sweet in flavor compared to the apple pie, the presentation and texture were underwhelming. OVERALL IMPRESSION: Certain parts of the meal stood out, the Caesar salad in particular, but the overall experience was diminished by inattentive service, reservation quirks, and the absence of those special touches that once set LB Steak apart. It also left the impression that, because we chose the prix-fixe menu, we may not have received the same level of attentiveness as guests ordering à la carte. ADDITIONAL NOTES: There were some small but noticeable service misses: -Bread was offered, but we later learned it now carries an extra charge, unlike in past visits. -Coffee was only offered once we were already halfway through dessert, which was too late. -The credit card hold for Restaurant Week felt unnecessary, especially when paired with service that didn't meet expectations. -Earlier in the Summer, I tagged LB Steak in my Instagram stories as my husband and I had gone for Happy Hour, and they replied to my stories saying if I ever made a reservation in the future, to let them know. I did so for this visit w/the reservation details, but the message was left on "seen." LOL. Not a big deal in itself, but it felt inconsistent and odd, especially given the overall lack of attentiveness during our meal.

    Celebrated an early Mother's Day and had a wonderful time. Ana was our server and she was very attentive and helpful throughout the meal. The food was great and the customer service was even better .

When my friend and I shared a plate, he made his disapproval known. I'm happy to pay a split fee. Just don't make me feel judged for it -- especially when the table ordered plenty of wine/cocktails, entrees, desserts, sides, and bottled water. Speaking of which: I asked for still, bottled water. He brought tap. When I followed up, he arrived with a single small Aqua Panna -- tap glasses still on the table. When I pointed out one bottle wasn't enough for our party, he dropped two more without pouring any of them. We now had twelve glasses of water crowding the table and not one filled -- except for the tap. That pattern held all night. Empty wine glasses, cocktail glasses, dirty plates -- nothing was ever proactively cleared. Everything required asking. Repeatedly. He also cleared across guests rather than walking around the table. Basic. But the most serious issue: at the start of dinner, he asked about allergies. One guest clearly stated a walnut and pecan allergy. He then brought out a dessert containing pecans. That's not an oversight. That's a liability. We tipped generously anyway... But it wasn't earned tonight. Esin has always been a place I look forward to when I'm back in town. Tonight was a real disappointment.

Just stepping in lifts your spirit and creates joy. The thoughtful decor and beautiful design immediately stand out, creating a special atmosphere, even if you are simply meeting friends for lunch on a weekday. I never expected to find such a stunning restaurant tucked into a shopping strip in the heart of San Ramon. One Hour Bistro is truly a delightfull find. The same attention to detail reflected in the decor is also evident in the quality of the ingredients and the incredible flavors of each dish. Crystal glasses in a Thai restaurant? YES! They also offer mocktails which I wish I had time to try and savor. I ordered the Kao Soi Braised Short Ribs, and it was absolutely stunning; beautifully presented, generously portioned, and deeply comforting. The rich broth, tender bone-in ribs, and flavorful noodles made every bite memorable. I couldn't even finish the entire dish because I wanted to savore it slowly. The Pad See Ew was a silky, heavenly treat. The rice noodles were succulent, the vegetables were fresh, and everything was coated in a rich, flavorful sauce. If your driving through San Ramon, this is a MUST try. If you live in the area, lucky you!

So we sat in the patio which had fans and nice plants which shaded well. Felt like sitting a garden and was cool. However when walked through the restaurant to the patio it was almost all empty and plenty of tables so kinda odd. Service was okay, kinda slower than I expected. Poor server also spilled water all over me but I was thankfully wearing shorts so it was okay. Food was great though! We ordered a Sedona chicken sandwich with garlic fries and chicken picatta. Sandwich was kinda like a grilled chicken burger. The thicken breast was moist and fries were crispy and tasty. Chicken picatta was delicious and perfectly mixed with mashed potatoes, spinach, capers. The chicken wasn't dry. Pear martini was the best. I would come here just for this drink. I think they home make the syrup. Old fashioned was good but a little sweet.

The mussels, however, were excellent--generously sized and served with a well-balanced blend of herbs and lemon that complemented the dish nicely. Service: The waitstaff were adequate, but the busboys stood out for their friendliness, attentiveness, and politeness. Ambience: The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, featuring high ceilings and a beautifully renovated interior that creates an inviting dining environment.

Located in beautiful Danville and has…read moreplenty of seating area ., a wrap around verandah and open tall ceilings with open kitchen is a good modern and classic mix. We enjoyed the Sauvignon blanc and espresso martini. The starter warm bread with herbed olive oil was perfect with the wine. We ordered mushroom soup to be shared between two and it was delicious. Chicken piccata and prawn Chittara were freshly made and one of the bests we have had so far. Our server Roberto was very polite and the service was very quick. Definitely we will try dinner here with whole family. There is plenty of parking outside.

The service…read moreis a tad lackluster, though that could've been a consequence of the table's placement as it was stowed away in the corner. Overall, the food is pretty good. The bread is outstanding, akin to a baguette with its crusty outside and plush interior. I wonder if they bake it fresh in house, what with the bread arriving steaming and hot to the touch. The oil that accompanies it is spectacular too, perfectly acidic with the balsamic vinegar contrasted by the acrid olive oil. All entrees are delicious though not the best in show by any means. For a casual restaurant though, the libations have no business being that delicious. I had an old fashioned, something of a go-to as of late. Leaves nothing to be desired. Truly just an archetype old fashioned, a symphony of bitters and whiskey. Dessert at the end was tiramisu, which was a good tiramisu. Such is expected at an Italian spot though.

Everything was very well executed and abounds with flavor Ambiance 5/5 good music, cool venue First time here, arrived between lunch and dinner at 3:30. Nicholas our server could not have been friendlier and knowledgeable of the food and cocktail program. I love this place for HH, out with friends or on a date. The price point given the value, quality, ambiance and service is more than a fair value. This place is definitely on our must return list. I recommend without reservation.

I learned a lesson- go with your first choice - I've been trying to practice that - I find when I do t do that- I wish I got what I wanted first . I got the herb crusted halibut - good - yet I was wanting more - the short rib bites were that- short . I was wanting more - and my guest got the Superfood salad with chicken- that's a huge win- it was so good - my first choice was the braised short ribs- mmmmmmmmmmmmm. I like the place. It's an old house converted and it has rustic charm. Outside seating is cozy with a fire and warmers - it was a little too chilly last Sunday for us- we were out all day and inside was nice .. it was a slow and cozy Sunday- it started to pick up when we were finishing up- unlike it here and we will be back. The staff is very nice - the food is good and easy parking - it's a win .

    Okay, let's be honest: who has NOT seen "Mrs. Doubtfire?" IMO, it was one of Robin Williams' best…read moreperformances. As my husband and I are both movie nerds, it was only fitting to make a reservation at the restaurant featured in the movie. Don't judge us, ha ha. The restaurant is described as a restaurant with Asian influence, and the interior reflects this. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and dimly lit, perfect for a date night. It has definitely been revamped since "Mrs. Doubtfire," but the date night aesthetic seen in the movie still remains. For drinks, I ordered the peach Bellini and my husband ordered the old fashioned. The peach Bellini was warm and sweet in a good way. My husband said his old fashioned "tasted off." For the appetizer, we ordered the charcuterie board. This is the best charcuterie we have had! The bread was toasted nicely. The brie, gouda, and manchego cheeses, as cheeses typically are ha ha, were very addicting. The apricot jam and truffle honey added nice flavors to the bread. The coppa and prosciutto meats were tender and not too salty. For our entrees, I ordered the Bridges burger medium well. It comes with herb aioli, LTO, and melted Havarti cheese, all between a toasted brioche bun. This is one of the best and juiciest burgers I've ever had! It was cooked to perfection, the cheese perfectly melted, and the bun both crispy and fluffy. The herb aioli was not overpowering and added just the right amount of "herbiness." My husband ordered the grilled pork chop, which comes with an apple chutney, applewood smoked bacon, collard greens, parmesan cheese grits, and a red wine demi glace. I tried his entree. As someone who doesn't really care for pork chops in general, I loved this one. It was very tender and juicy and the apply chutney was a delicious accompaniment. The cheese grits were well-cooked and seasoned, which pleased this Southern girl's heart. The red wine sauce was thick and a nice touch to the pork. For dessert, we ordered the molten chocolate cake. Unfortunately, there was no "lava" in the center, but the cake itself was very gooey and rich and the vanilla gelato offered by our waitress added an extra layer of creaminess and decadence! Our waitress was super nice and kept smiling the entire time, adding to this incredible dining experience. The other wait staff that assisted us were no different. As fans of the movie "Mrs. Doubtfire," we thank you for a delicious and wonderful dining experience! It was worth the 1+ hour drive!!!

Happy hour is robust, and the bartenders always have a smile on their faces, unfortunately with the menu as it is they're for sure handcuffed. Moving on from the past and a major overall would do wonders for the place and I have no doubt draw in a younger crowd to provide the customer base they need for the next 33 years.
