My wife ordered an egg burrito off the site (and me a sandwich) for dinner…read more They dinged us after a while that the order was ready for pickup. I went to the store to get it. There is no one in the place, there are four (high school aged) workers behind the counter. I stood there for a good minute. Not one came over to me. I moved over and got one of their attention since they were not going to come and assist (because you know, they were busy goofing off - there was no adult there). The order was NOT ready in fact, they didn't even make the fries. So they started the fries and I stood there while they were cooked. Why did you tell us it was ready when it wasn't remotely ready? I got my order and left, got home and realized the burrito wasn't there. I went all the way back and they said "we refunded the burrito, it's only served for breakfast" First off the menu does not say this. If it's only served during a certain part of the day THEN SAY IT ON THE MENU. Second, no one thought of letting anyone know it was refunded. Just did and went on about their day of goofing off. The people at the store there couldn't give a flying yahoo when I voiced my displeasure. The last couple times we've been here the service was almost non-existent and the orders are always messed up. And this was the last time. Management will read this and just laugh. They could not care at all. Time for poorly run businesses like this to be done.

This place has been here for a very long time. I don't know if I want to call it a hidden gem…read morelocated in the city of Hercules because most locals know it exists. This is not my first, second or third visiting this restaurant; I actually really enjoy coming here. Very often the hours don't always align with my schedule but due to my schedule being adjusted today, it was only right that I stopped by on the way home to grab some grub. My review is based on today's experience as well as every other time I have dined at Leila by the Bay. I literally have no complaints; as you can see the food was delicious. The service was great and the environment was cool, not super busy. Leila by the Bay is a good choice whether you're looking for an indoor or outdoor place to dine. When the weather permits it is really nice to sit outside and look at the water and watch the activity happening in the bay. So if given the chance stop by for a visit!

We came back to this place with friends so I could try breakfast this time. We made reservations…read morejust in case it was busy. We arrived on time and at first we were sat down inside and we asked if we could move outside and at the girl said they didn't have anything, and then we asked possibly the manager/owner (didnt ask him who he was) but he did check and there was one table but it didn't have an umbrella which we were okay with. So, it was nice that we were able to sit outside on a nice day. We all ordered the unlimited mimosas which were nice. For our meals, we ordered the Chorizo hash Benedict, the Corn beef and hash Benedict, and the burger. The Corn Beef Benedict was good, the eggs cooked perfect, the corn beef was pretty good, and the potatoes were crispy like we like them. The Chorizo hash Benedict was also delicious, it wasn't greasy like some Chorizo can be, and the eggs also cooked perfect. The only thing it could have used was some more Hollandaise sauce on them all. There was very little amounts on them all. The burger was cooked perfect and it was also good. Mimosas made up for it. Our food came out in a good time frame and the service was also good.

The service is slow. The drinking cups are old battered plastic blue cups (they use to be glass) and they bring them to a table of 4 stacked instead of placing them to each person. No drinks were refilled. The food.. The Pancake was real good! Everything else was blah. The server said "they can't season the food much due to a large all the old people that live in Pinole." If you can't season then you shouldn't serve Cajun food. My pregnant wife ordered Pork Chop and Eggs which she had to send back and luckily they removed it from our bill, it was so plain and under seasoned. All our food was really underwhelming. My parents said the grits were really good there but this time they tasted almost as bland as water. Their is reason to believe this place has switched ownership and it trying to save money. There use to be a line out the door and we came at 11:30am on a Sunday and there was only 5 tables occupied... I wanted to give two stars for the pancake and waitress trying to save the day but there were too many negatives

I have been a customer here for several years and it's my first time trying their dinner menu…read more This use to be my go to place for coffee but the coffee has become more bland so I don't come here as often, it's still a decent coffee shop and would recommend to the locals. What impressed me about their dinner menu is the drinks, very strong and delicious. The food was okay... we ordered a burger with fries and wings. The meat was cooked medium rare, if you don't like it cooked that way make sure you let them know. I really enjoyed the wings, they were well seasoned and give a decent portion. They also charge for extra ketchup which I've never experienced, understandable if it was ranch or some other special sauce but it wasn't. All the servers were polite, attentive and the place was clean and felt welcoming. They have a bar that I'll probably go to next time just for the drinks. I recommend to order their hazelnut espresso martini and the madre mía both drinks were amazing!

It's been so long since I've been to Pear Street Bistro, and while in the area recently for a few…read moreevents, I popped in with some friends on two different occasions. Love seeing this spot so lively! Both visits were for apps and sips, but I did notice they added more dishes and variety to the menu for lunch/dinner options. Friendly service, fun atmosphere, and also different rooms within the space pending what your feeling ~ the bar area for drinks/apps, the restaurant space if wanting to truly sit down and have that type of intimate environment too. The Pear Salad has always been my go-to, and happy it's still on the menu. Chopped lettuce, gorgonzola crumbles, candied walnuts, champagne vinaigrette, and pear slices. I also enjoyed the Cheese Please for sharing, which comes with toast, three different cheeses, dried cranberries, pears, candied walnuts, and olives. Can you sense the pear theme? We were heading to a play at the Pinole Community Playhouse (walkable & across the street), but check out Pear Street's fun happy hours, events, and weekly specials. Plenty of restaurant parking in the back too.

Came here for the Cinco De Mayo event. We were a party of 9. They had a DJ…read more The food came out hot and it was delicious. They were no complaints in the area from anyone. One of our party members ordered the Rum Punch. It was overly sweet. Another ordered a drink that was not great at all, sent it back.. only to be told that they do not take back drinks, but made an exception that time. However, if the drink is made wrong or disgusting.. there shouod be understanding around that. We ordered the bottomless Mimosas. It seemed like it was difficult to get a grenadine on the side because I had to constantly ask for it. We had to talk to the manager because our waitress was not consistent with the pouring of bottomless. We lost about 30 to 45 mins of time because of it. The manager understood and granted us more time. I also did not like that fact that our finished plate sat on the table way longer than what they should have. Maybe the waiter was overwhelmed or overworked.

It's often crowded, but accommodates seating at a number of tables as well as the very friendly seating at the counter.

The service is great and prices here are reasonable I'll continue to come here as often as I can.

So I never leave reviews but this time I have to. My family and I have been eating at Embers since…read moreI was 5 or 6 years old and have always liked the food. The last 4 times my parents have gone there, Embers has gotten a simple plain cheeseburger wrong. My sister always asks for "A plain cheeseburger, meat and cheese only" This time we were given a plain hamburger, no cheese or anything else. The times before were a hamburger with mayonnaise, a cheeseburger that literally had everything on it and the other time it was a plain hamburger again. I don't know if the food ticketing system has changed or what but I've heard my sister order a plain cheeseburger each time while on the phone with them and this is what happens ...

This was not my choice of restaurant but I went w/ my uncle & aunt, real meat eaters !!…read moreSo the waitress stated this is a meat place & they stopped carrying veggie burgers , plus they had no vegetables ! NO VEGETABLES ?!! But I was able to get a very plain salad ( iceberg, cucumber, tomato & croutons ) a w/italian dressing plus some sautéed mushrooms & the ever reliable French fries !! ( Definitely not a place for vegans but vegetarians would be ok if they ate dairy & eggs ) I couldn't believe they discontinued the veggie burger & had no frozen California blend veggies ! I won't be going back !!!!! Plus the fries were not that great either !! They were shoestrings but some were overcooked : really hard & dry ( uneatable ) ! There was not really notable decor , but it just seemed old & outdated, not in a charming way !!
