First time visiting! Let's begin with Service…read more The service was amazing! The staff are friendly and attentive and they are amazing! 5 stars for Service! The Food I had ordered "The Spaniard" omelette and it was incredibly underwhelming. There was no seasoning or flavor between the omelette and potatoes. Is their cook new? Salt & pepper is a staple for basic seasoning. The food wasn't bad, it was just plain. Maybe today was an off today. 2 stars for food. The Ambiance The restaurant seems to be fairly new/newish. It's nice, but the interior has no character or personality. Who is MJ? What is MJ's? Also, I found dust on almost every single ledge. The place was largely clean from what I could see, but once I sat down, I could see dust on a couple of places. I'm open to trying the place again and see if my experience is different than today. I'll definitely order something different. The staff are clearly the all-stars in a place of average.

We came here this evening to celebrate a birthday, and from the moment we arrived, everything was amazing. We needed to combine two tables for our group, and they were more than happy to accommodate us without any hassle. Right away, we felt welcomed and at home. The service was exceptional our server was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. We chose to sit outside on the patio, and it was absolutely perfect. The breeze, the atmosphere everything just felt relaxing and enjoyable. Since we had our two young kids with us, I ordered their food right away, and it came out quickly, which I really appreciated (parents know how important that is!). The pizza was perfect not overloaded with sauce, just balanced and delicious. For my meal, I ordered the beef stroganoff, and wow... the flavor was incredible. From the first bite, it was rich, comforting, and full of amazing flavor. My husband had the prime rib and enjoyed every bite as well. We couldn't leave without dessert, and I'm so glad we didn't! We ordered the bananas foster, and it was not only delicious but also such a fun experience our kids absolutely loved the presentation. We paired it with coffee, which was surprisingly so good that I might start coming here instead of my usual coffee spot! The owners were also incredibly welcoming and kind, always attentive and accommodating to their guests. Overall, we had such a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this place to anyone in town. We'll definitely be back!

The place is too cool to be in the middle of a nondescript neighborhood in Brentwood. This place is fabulous, and I hope that it stays open for a very long time. It deserves to be on a busy street in the city, in SJ or Walnut Creek.

We ordered the nachos and potato skins, and both were delicious. The nachos were loaded with all the good stuff, and the potato skins were crispy and flavorful exactly what you want when you're kicking back by the water. Our server Tanille was Amazing! The drinks were outstanding too and great cocktails that hit the spot and really enhanced the whole experience. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made it feel like a true escape. Whether you're boating, launching, or just stopping by for bites and drinks, this place delivers. Highly recommend Orwood Resort Marina for a fun, laid-back day or evening. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommended!

Delta Dining with a Front-Row Seat to the Action. Some restaurants lean heavily on their kitchens…read more Others rely on their scenery. This Delta mainstay attempts, and often succeeds, to balance both. A short drive from the city delivers you to this laidback waterfront outpost, where the real show unfolds just beyond the patio: a steady procession of boaters launching, docking, and lingering over the day's boating stories all around you. It's an unpolished but undeniably charming backdrop, best enjoyed with a cold craft beer in hand and nowhere urgent to be. The menu casts a wide variety of burgers, seafood, barbecue, designed more for broad appeal than culinary ambition. Still, it largely delivers on its promise of satisfying comfort fare. Service, however, is where the restaurant consistently distinguishes itself. Staff members are warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, a level of hospitality that feels increasingly uncommon and worth noting. On this visit, I returned to a familiar favorite: the cheeseburger, paired, at our server's suggestion, with tater tots. Around the table, fish and chips and pulled pork sliders completed the spread. The cheeseburger, Juicy and cooked with precision, it carries a distinct flame-grilled character that signals real attention to technique. The toppings are fresh, the bun properly toasted, and the overall construction strikes a satisfying balance between indulgent and controlled. It's a burger that delivers exactly what it promises, and does so consistently. Having previously paired it with excellent onion rings, it remains a dish I'd order without hesitation. The tater tots, however, were a notable misstep. A great tot should offer contrast, crisp exterior giving way to a light, airy interior. These lacked that essential textural payoff. Soft and underwhelming, they suggested oil past its prime and a lapse in execution. After sampling a few, I left the rest behind. It was a surprising inconsistency, particularly given stronger past experiences. Fortunately, the pulled pork sliders recalibrated the meal. Three well-proportioned sandwiches showcased tender, smoky pork layered onto soft buns with a restrained hand on the sauce. The balance was thoughtful, allowing the meat to remain the focal point. Each bite was cohesive and satisfying, making them one of the afternoon's clear highlights. The fish and chips were fresh and not over battered, well-flavored, but just a little heavy, that defines the dish at its best when lightly crispy, in my opinion. For this visit, I award 3 out of 5 stars. Not for lack of potential, the kitchen clearly has it, but for inconsistency. Strong dishes sit alongside underwhelming ones, and that variability prevents the restaurant from reaching its full potential. Having experienced better execution here before, particularly with fried items, it's evident that higher standards are within reach. Still, three stars should not deter a visit. This remains one of the Delta's most appealing gathering spots. The waterfront setting, approachable pricing, generous portions, and engaging atmosphere create an experience that extends beyond the plate. It's a place where time stretches, conversations deepen, and the rhythm of the water sets the pace. I'll return, for something new on the menu, the view, and with the hope that the kitchen rediscovers the consistency needed to match its undeniable strengths.
