Kottinger, an Alameda County justice of the peace, who named it after his friend, Union army cavalry Major General Alfred Pleasonton." Quality/Quantity - We are fairly consistent customers to this city. Mainly to eat and drink and of course, our annual County Fair visits. See all other reviews. If you are following, with the exception of the Apple store in Pleasanton, all my other reviews in this city are 4-5 stars!! Hence the city's overall rating of 4 stars! Cut and pasted from the internet: "In 2005 and 2007, Pleasanton was ranked the wealthiest middle-sized city in the United States by the Census Bureau." Atmosphere - 24.3 square miles, 0.15 of which is water. Population of 80k (2020 Census). Service - Good, as per the above, they cater to the wealthy so service has to reflect that. I aspire to be one of them one of these days, lol. Price - Above average, but NOT unreasonable. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1839, Mexican Land Grant. 1869 - Established. 1894 - Incorporated.

They meet at the library once a month with representatives of the police and are a great resource to learn about crime and safety in the Rockridge area, as well as a venue to talk to actual beat police about concerns about safety. Robberies and burglaries appear to be on the rise in this great neighborhood and a strong community that knows their neighbors is one way to reduce incidents in the area. Recommended to all residents of Rockridge. I met some neighbors, learnt some interesting details about how to reduce likelihood of becoming a target, got recommendations on safer ways to commute home.

Family law issue:…read more Office j.n. (I know you can't use full names on yelp) was amazing. Mother to my child had forgot to pick up our son for the third time. I went to the Police Department and he was there to speak with me. I told him exactly what was going on. He read the whole court order. He attempted to reach out to the mother of my child. Everything he did was professional and very smooth. I hope his supervisor sees this comment and he gets some credit. He deserves it. Again I 100% appreciate all of the help. I hope I do not need it again but if I do you will be who I am contacting. Chris

This review is specifically for Sargent Matt Kroutil for his humiliating and low behavior,…read moremean-spirited personality and ill mindedset. It was a small thing that turned into an issue that deserve serious questioning on the morality and ethics of Sargent Matthew Kroutil. Here the plaintiff has no intention to comment about Mr. Kroutil's ethics or professionalism as a police officer and as a supervisor, but here is the story and what happened on 08/20/2026. 3 or 4 weeks ago, my wife's vehicle parked along the street curb right in front of my house for an extended period of time, some neighbor reported, so the police came in to tell my wife to move it. The police knocked the door and initially we talked at the door. I admitted the problem, and told the police officers that I knew the problem and I had reminded my wife multiple times to move it, but for some reason it could not be started some time ago. I also promised the police officers we would call in AAA to try to start the vehicle. If it could be started, we would change battery; if could not be started, we would just donate it. I also mentioned by the way in low voice that there was another vehicle on the other side of the street which had parked there even longer. The response of the old experienced police officer was surprising and embarrassing. He intentionally and repetitively raised his voice so loud that it looked to me he wanted my neighbor to hear:" You are saying your neighbor is parking there also, I will talk to your neighbor later." He repeated that multiple times in loud voice even when we moved together to my drive way and to the street. I was so embarrassed that I had to stop him:" Stop, I don't care any more!" Then I left and went back to my house. This old police officer was experienced enough to know the consequences of that. It seemed to me that he was trying to stir tensions and disputes among neighbors, and if I am considered a whistleblower, then he was trying to expose me as the whistleblower. Not acceptable to me. Today after 3 weeks I decided to call the Pleasanton Police department trying to make a suggestion or advice about the misconduct of this police officer. I said clearly in the call several times: it is not a complaint, or report about anyone, rather it is a suggestion or advice worth paying attention to in future services and law enforcement. So Pleasanton City department arranged Sargent Matt Kroutil (Batch #281) to give me a call back. Sargent Kroutil did call shortly, but in less than 1 minute into the call, right after saying hi and greetings and self introduction, he said something like "hold on" and then transferred my phone call to Pleasanton Garbage services, which kept me waiting for over 28 minutes before I realized that I was tricked. During that time, I called Pleasanton Police Department Hotline using another cell phone and let the people on the phone hear the repeated robot audio: it was all about Pleasanton Garbage Services, repeated time after times, for 28 minutes before I hang up. I also recorded some of the audio as evidence. Afterwards I hanged up realizing Mr. Kroutil was fooling. The phone call started at 10:04AM and ended at 10:34AM. It could be longer had I not realized it was a scam. The behavior of Sargent Kroutil (Batch 281) is a grand misconduct and a sign of lack of sincerity in serving the people or facing the problems, especially as a mid level police officer who were assigned to handle civic complaints or suggestions or advice. I strongly feel obliged to file a formal report about him in view that he is a police supervisor. Mean-spirited and ill-minded things like this should not have happened to a sargent. Transferring my phone to Pleasanton Garbage Services and keeping me waiting for 28+ minutes before I realized it was a scam is truly angering.

This is a really old looking place. I guess its no surprise its some sort of historic spot…read more Looks like it needs some new life and some maintenance. Some revamp. Its rear neighbor is the old city hall that is cracked in half and shifting in two different directions. I love this area for exploring the Hayward Fault. I don't know if this place would survive - its all concrete looking and fragile with age. I love to walk the fault and I walk it often. I hang around the little park next to the Dirty Bird Lounge and then I make my way toward the old city hall. Next I go past the card room and across the street and look at the senior retirement center that is right on the fault line. I think to myself, "if this ever shakes one day those senior citizens will wake up." Then I go to the back parking lot of the Indian Food restaurant. Favorite Indian. I like that place... very classy hostess who always dressed up to impress. Kid brother and Godfather and I used to go there often. That doesn't happen anymore. Too bad. In front there is some green space and lawn - I do think that needs a little help too. Veterans deserve a bit better since this is their memorial building. IDK what are we going to do about this? Maybe we can put a new coat of paint on this building one day. I do think that is what might help.
