The ambiance is classic and intimate with the bar and restaurant in the front and a speakeasy in the back. The food was delicious. We started with sunrise mimosas and Brussels sprouts and then ordered the shrimp and grits, steak and eggs, and croissant French toast for the entrees. Even though we were full, we couldn't resist trying the banana pudding for dessert and it was truly worth the extra calories! Amour was very personable, attentive, and provided great recommendations on the menu. Kevin and Kenneth wished us a happy Mother's Day and gave us a little insight into their story. The staff made our Mother's Day brunch special and I'm looking forward to coming back to explore the dinner menu.

I haven't tried everything on the menu yet, but what I have I would certainly order again! Over the holidays I wanted to try their version of crème brûlée and grateful to see the sugar crust right before serving was thick and lightly warmed from "fire" process as I know it should be served. Of course, smooth perfection rich custard followed! Their Salmon dinner & teriyaki wings, another favorite alongside the beer of my choice! I've also loved their innovative drinks that I've never tasted before, that they feature regularly. It's great to step into a place where the Waite staff seems to enjoy their environment and serving the public. Thank you Six Eleven for your 1.5 years now, family friendly restaurant & bar here in Martinez, a fun place to confidently bring a guest (especially when warm enough and outside seating is available) and also to shake a leg with the younger generation on an occasional weekend night. They also have an upper "attic" space or the outside courtyard available for private events, 3 for me so far. Please do continue to thrive 611 through these crazy times we're in. Buy Local Y'all!!

It was so funny because we saw The Office storefront and thought it was a different place, so we went through the hallway from the back where the "secret" entrance was. You can choose to sit at the speakeasy-designed area where there are no windows, or there is another area where you can people-watch. It was surprisingly not as busy, but also it was only 8PM. Our bartender was so friendly and told us we should try the food, but we were too stuffed from our dinner. We decided just to have a quick drink and head out. I ordered a Strawberry Smash and the hubby got a Tropical Sunset. My drink was really delicious and huge. We only stayed for a drink because we were tired, but I would love to return when I'm back in the area.

The menu selections were broad enough to be interesting, but not so deep that it felt overwhelming…read more I created a tasting, taking it slow, and enjoyed each of my selections. Starting with the Mt. Beautiful Estate Sauvignon Blanc, found this good. It's good, but not great. It's a decent wine but I think there are other more interesting Australian wines out there. The Rabble Rosé from Paso Robles was crisp with just an edge of tart. Like roasted strawberries, if that makes sense. And the Seaglass Riesling from the central coast is now a fave. It's a sweeter wine and a good end to a tasting, for sure. Glad I explored that one. It far exceeded my expectations. The vibe is good. The team is wonderful, caring and attentive, even if their internet went down and they weren't able to process cards quickly. They kept their frustrations focused on the tech and their attention on their customers. And the people who come in - there for a good time. This was our first experience here. We'll be back, for sure!

Really disappointed with my experience today. I'm a local in Benicia and have been here before, but…read morethis visit completely changed my perception. I was not allowed with my 5 month old baby to have a glass of wine in the patio. I was told there's a "no under 21" rule that apparently includes babies. That honestly didn't make sense to me. this is an infant, not even eating solid food yet. I've been to wineries in Napa with my baby and never had an issue, so this felt unwelcoming. This felt like a made up rule to protect non-mother customers, and Benicia is known for that. Horrible. What made it worse was how it was handled. The waitress(blonde, short hair mid-aged lady) came off rude and said, "no under 21, sorry--unless it's a dog haha," and then told me I could go to the taphouse on the corner. It felt dismissive and unprofessional. I even tried calling afterward to speak with a manager, but no one answered. Overall, it left a really bad impression, and I don't feel comfortable coming back after this.

We went yesterday for my husband's birthday. I made a reservation on Open Table and called to request a window seat. We arrive and were greeted warmly, and taken to our window table. Yusuf was our server, and he is so much more than a server. He is family. He made superb recommendations, and every drink, entree and dessert he recommended was mouthwatering! We had the Misto salad, mushroom soup (soup of the day), saffron pappardelle, chicken Parmesan, and mushroom ravioli (we took plenty home!). The house-made noodles and sauces were delectable! We also ordered the apple crumb for dessert made the Yusuf way, AND Yusuf brought us a raspberry basil sorbet with candle and sang happy birthday with me to my husband. We will be back soon and will be bringing friends and family to experience the greatness of Bella Siena. Thank you Yusuf and team!
