The food is cooked to perfection. The presentation is outstanding. They have a wide variety of different plates so no matter what somebody in your group wants there will be something for them. Their signature drinks are to die for this time I had a peachy king and lemon drop. I wanted to order the hoppy hour but it was so popular that they were sold out. I've come during the week and on the weekend. It doesn't matter which time I've come it's been GREAT! Today I came on a Sunday and they actually have a Sunday brunch where they have a live DJ they play music. They have shots going around it's fun and if you're going out with the family like I did today, you can sit in the upper area that's away from everyone else having the brunch fun. It was still fine even though we brought the kids and sat in the upper area. We could still hear the music and enjoy ourselves. I would highly recommend this place. It's a shame that I live so far away in Tracy that I only get to come once in a while because if I lived closer, I would come every weekend.!!! The desserts are so good!!!

-Drinks review only!-…read more Friends and I were looking for a place to have a drink in the afternoon but before dinner and found Beer Baron! They had gone to their original location in Livermore in the past and were surprised to have found it moved. We had very friendly service and excellent cocktails. If you want to get a Boilermaker, they can get it for you (off of HH) - friend asked what types of whiskey they had and our server pulled out a whole BOOK! Cocktails were all tasty and quite complex. We all really enjoyed them: Brat summer, Frose (they only had one slushie ready - and it was boozy!), Peach Don't Kill My Vibe, and She's Gone Green. I like that they only had low ABV cocktails and mocktails, although your choices are limited to 1 in each category if you can't have grapefruit for medical reasons. We were tempted by the food but were still full from brunch - I have a feeling that we'll be back for those Duck Fat fries!

They had a lot of great drink options, and we tried quite a few. I can't remember all the names, but in the pictures I posted, the yellow drink was the sweetest and didn't really taste like alcohol, so that was our favorite. The espresso martini was great, and the lavender drink I got was really good too. Overall, though, we would all probably pick the yellow drink over the others. The food itself was incredible. I got the corn ravioli pasta, which was sweeter than I expected, but I should have guessed that from the ingredients. It was still delicious. The jambalaya was by far the best dish at the table, though. Absolutely incredible. The Chinese noodles also had an amazing presentation. I've never seen something like that before, and they tasted amazing too. The staff was really nice, and overall, this is a great place to stop by if you're downtown Pleasanton and want a nice dinner!

Appreciated that our tables were cleared every time food or drinks arrived. Everyone orders separately so I will review the food I ordered. Oysters on the Half Shell: The oysters were fresh and so delicious. This appetizer came with 3 sauces. Loved the mignonette as it paired well with the sweetness of the oysters. Gem Salad: I didn't know they came in half servings. It was the perfect size for my me and my husband to share. Very good combo of ingredients. The only negative is that the avocado used was not ripe. Poke Tuna Tacos - Well seasoned. These were so good! I liked that they were the perfect size and the fried wonton remained crisp and still held its shape. I ordered the Hugo Spritz but asked for it less sweet. It was perfect!! Delicate yet still sweet.

We really enjoy Main St. in Pleasanton and hadn't tried Elia yet so we decided to make a reservation and come here on a Monday evening. This restaurant is gorgeous! It's very charming yet fancy at the same time. When we arrived, we were seated immediately. To be fair, it was a slow Monday and there was plenty of seating. We opted to sit outside due to the nice weather. They brought us waters and bread to get started which I appreciated. For drinks, my wife went with the Cab and I chose an old fashioned. Both came out promptly. For appetizer's, keep in mind they're not very large portions and can take a bit to come out. I suggest 1 appetizer will be enough for two people. Order more than you think you need if you're hungry or it's a larger party. Since it was later in the day, we both chose salads for our entrees. They were delicious! You can tell the ingredients are fresh and of high quality. Our server and service was great- we were checked up on just enough but not too much. Our server was soft spoken, friendly and efficient. I always enjoy working with a server who is professional, courteous and not overly invasive. Not only do I plan on coming back, I'm going to be telling all my friends and family about Elia. Will definitely be doing a birthday or two here in the near future.

Tried a few Greek wines, and had the lobster pasta, with what I recall as bucatini (could be wrong). It was beautiful and delicious as expected. Popped out of the shell display and sliced it up for a wonderful dinner with coworkers. Colors reminiscent of Greek isles, with the blues and white, plus owls and eye painted decor. It felt casual but professional. Quieter on a Wednesday, but a nice stop for that Mediterranean fix with a bit of class. Enjoy.

They have someone out side to let you in and once you're in you have a dedicated server. The service is good, especially with them being so busy. The inside is beautifully decorated. It is a bit loud for a speakeasy tbh but it was still enjoyable. Drinks are themed and decorated nicely. They aren't just good looking, they taste just as good! Definitely worth a visit! Note that the location is a bit hidden it's in between Locanda and the Holiday shop.

I had always been aware of Honeycomb but assumed it was exclusively a venue for private events…read more Then I came across a TikTok post announcing that it had opened to the public as a speakeasy, so we decided to visit on a Thursday at 5:00 p.m., right when they opened. The experience begins in a small glass-enclosed entryway where you're greeted before the hostess is notified by radio. Moments later, the glass door opens, revealing a beautifully designed speakeasy with an elegant yet inviting atmosphere. The space offers comfortably spaced bar seating, cozy booths, and tables, all surrounded by tasteful décor that perfectly captures the speakeasy era while incorporating subtle honeycomb-inspired touches. The spirit selection is impressive, and the appetizer menu is thoughtfully curated. Their specialty cocktails are creative, balanced, and beautifully presented. We sat at the bar, where our mixologist, Kalika B, was both personable and professional. I always enjoy sitting at the bar when the bartender is willing to share their craft, and Kalika did exactly that. She explained the story behind several of their custom cocktails, the history of some of their spirits, their signature custom ice program, and offered excellent appetizer recommendations. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. The entire space was spotless and clearly designed with great attention to detail. It filled up quickly after opening, so I was glad we arrived when we did. Despite the growing crowd, there appeared to be plenty of staff, and the service remained attentive without ever making guests feel rushed. There is only one restroom, but during our visit it was never an issue, and there was no wait. I've been chasing speakeasies for more than 20 years, long before they became as popular as they are today. Whenever I travel, I make it a point to seek out a local speakeasy, so I've experienced quite a few over the years. Honeycomb ranks near the top of my list. It's the perfect size--not too small and not too large--with an outstanding selection of spirits, exceptional craft mocktails, knowledgeable mixologists who truly know their craft, and cocktails tailored to your palate. The atmosphere is elegant yet approachable, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality of the experience. The Honeycomb Speakeasy in Livermore is truly a destination-worthy cocktail experience. Be sure to check their Instagram for the current password, then treat yourself to one of the best speakeasy experiences in the area.

Since it was our first time, we decided to go with the full menu. It's definitely one of those places where you should be open to tweaks to the usual steak and potatoes. Our waiter was absolutely lovely and suggested drinks to get started with based off our palette preferences. We ordered the cauliflower and goat cheese toast as an appetizer. While both delicious, the goat cheese toast was really small. As for my main entree I ordered the iron steak and potatoes (I can't remember the full name). It was buttery, flavorful, juicy and cooked to medium perfection. Lastly, we finished with the vanilla and sweet corn sundae which was amazing! It had rich vanilla bean icecream, sweet corn bread chunks which added sweet crunch. My BF and I can't wait to come back.

My family scarfed their entrees up with zero complaints. I on the other hand had a few minor gripes: -Certain bites of my steak were difficult to chew through -The ends of the asparagus were woody -Our server fell off the face of the Earth toward the end. As someone who doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, the schoko kuchen was everything! I also enjoyed the presentation of the sweet corn soup (get your phone out!). And feed me scallops all day, every day. I will definitely recommend Naschmarkt to others (as will my Hungarian mom!).

I have been to SideTrack a few different times recently and each time experience was different,…read moresome great, some less so. Each of the times that I went, it has always been very loud, either with TVs playing loudly. One time there was a karaoke bingo event occurring inside, and it was specifically advertised on the website: "If you choose to not play, no problem we will have the patios open for non players." However the game host ended up coming out and trying to engage people to play and the speakers were so loud we couldn't hear each other. Service has also been spotty when we went, with our server hard to flag down and little refills for water. The food and drinks however has always been fantastic and a huge reason why I come back.
