    Seafood Stew - Bouillabaisse - 10/10
    Beatris D.

    Quite honestly the best service, vibes and food in a long time. Zajack was super fun and gave great drink and food recommendations. Food was 10/10. The place was beautiful. My new favorite restaurant. Can't wait to return.

    Ambiance: First time at Stereo61 -- initial thoughts were the vibes are super cute for a girls night! But also cute for a date, but it does get really loud as it slowly turns into a club / bar after dinner. Food and their respective rating: 5/5 Hamachi Tostada: amazing, i may dream about it because of how delicious it was. Loved the fresh ingredients and how the tostada kept its structure each bite. 3/5 Grilled Filet Skewers: good, but, would I get it again? Maybe not unless I were to share it with someone.. It was pretty heavy for me. 4/5 Tiramisu: very good, but also again I was full. But i loved the texture and the fact that it didn't taste like your average tiramisu. The nuts brought great texture, there was definitely hints of liquor in there as well. I would order again & share with a friend Service: Lastly our waitress was great! She was very friendly as she tended to us and all the other tables seated outside. Overall: I would come back here again, will bring the girliepops next time!

    I love Stereo41. It is a great place for dinner, drinks and lounging around. The food is unique and the music after 9pm rotates nightly. I have been here twice now and the crowd is always classy and dj plays excellent music that keeps it fun and lively. We have tried almost everything on the menu at dinner and they are all so delicious! My favorites are the hamachi, lamb chop, risotto,beef skewers and hummus. Next I have to try the dessert and lunch!

    I first discovered this place at a Yelp event and loved everything I tried, so I knew I had to come back for dinner. This time we ordered the scallops, lamb chops, pita bread, fish taco appetizer, and everything was absolutely delicious. The scallops were my parents favorite dish of the night, but honestly, every item we ordered was fantastic. Great food, great flavors, and a place we'll definitely be returning to.

    the Stereo41 in Walnut Creek could best be described as an elite restaurant that offers a refreshing, beautiful menu that promises to deliver good flavors we ordered oysters, chicken wrap and dessert. all these dishes were beautiful, delicious and delivered. the inside ambiance is fine, the staff are welcoming and you get a true experience of Walnut Creek

    The food here genuinely impressed me, the sweet potato tempura, meatballs, and pita bread are all worth coming back for, and the overall menu has a lot going for it. The ambiance is also a vibe; it's the kind of place you want to love. That said, service is one of the things I weigh heavily when trying somewhere new, and unfortunately it was the low point of the night. Our server had us waiting 20-30 minutes both to get our order taken and to receive the check, and it was hard not to notice she was mostly engaged in other convos or not tending to us at all. We made a few attempts to flag her down and felt invisible which made me a bit frustrated On the drinks - the Calypso were enjoyable but leaned on the lighter side/juice heavy The food and atmosphere are there but the service needs to improve . I'd consider returning but I'd hope for a more attentive experience next time.

    From the moment I walked in I knew I was in for a treat. The exterior looks gorgeous and the interior was just beautiful. We were seated immediately and had the friendliest and informative server, I believe her name is Ashley. She went over the lunch options and made a fantastic recommendation. We ordered a hamachi tostada, chicken wrap, halloumi skewers, along with Sour Candy and a red spritz. Everything was super flavor. The drinks were refreshing, the skewers were a nice balance of sweet and salty, the tostada was an explosion of flavor with the creaminess from the avocado, the spice, the citrus, and the hamachi was so fresh. The chicken wrap was incredible and I was not expecting the size to be a foot long! Overall, I'll definitely be coming back.

    Service is quick at lunch time, Yooha made an amazing drink and recommended it if you like Gibsons. The stereo martini#2 is briny and yet fresh. Def want to come back and taste a few more cocktails Lunch menu has a 'Build your Own' feature, as a bowl, salad or wrap with either chicken, trout, lamb, beef, or a veggie option (halloumi and fig)

    Sour candy
    Sandra V.

    I made a lunch reservation. I walked in to be seated, no one was there when I arrived. I waited about 5 -8 minutes, meanwhile took a few pictures. I started with the sour candy mocktail, $13. The drink was good, just like sour candy, light on tamarind flavor but it had over 50% of ice. I believe it watered down the flavor. Then I got one hamachi tostada, it was delish. The chili oil stood out. It gets messy eating it, but very good flavors. Slightly like a ceviche tostada. The price of $28 I felt was high for a small appetizer. The chicken wrap was delish and packed with meat. I liked the olives in it. It came with a cucumber salad which paired excellent. The cucumber salad was full of flavor. I could taste the mint, cilantro and fennel. Very refreshing. It also came with a side salad. I felt the side salad had too much dressing for my liking. The Moroccan paste/sauce it came with was super delish, flavorful tomato paste/herb with a kick. The wrap was def worth its value of $17, it was a nice size and heavy on meat. I ordered a tiramisu dessert $14, it was very cute, the bread was good tasting. He did mentioned it had banana... just didn't get that tiramisu feel or flavor it was a little more on the bland side for the cream. The bread inside of it was delish. I was pretty stuffed that I brought some home. There is a large dining area inside and can look out to downtown WC. Booth and table/chair seating. There's also a side outdoor seating with plenty of light. Theme is disco. They had music playing at excellent volume not too loud but not too low.

    Sour Candy - be sure to give it a good swirl!

    Dropped in for a Yelp Elite event and was very impressed. Background music was a nice lunch touch - not too loud so you couldn't talk yet you could hear the tunes. Host was fantastic, took the time to explain the event to me, accommodated my request for a window facing seat, and made sure I had a good experience. Server was fantastic and I appreciated her recommendation to be sure to squirm the lime on the tostada. Definitely coming back with the Mrs for happy hour! Sour Candy Mocktail.... first sip came across as grapefruit juice but second sip was full flavors of tamarind, passion fruit. Super delicious, mild puckering. I suspect the juice was in the straw when it was placed in the glass! Hamachi Tostada... fantastic flavors, just the right amount of spices, hamachibwas super fresh and tender, nice subtle sauce, great balanced. The crunch of the tostada was a nice touch. Chicken wrap.... big wrap full of chicken and loads of flavor. Tender meat, nice condiments, slightly toasted wrap was subtly crunchy.

    This is what was served to us after ordering 4 entire meals

    Our experience at Stereo 41 in Walnut Creek was incredibly disappointing, especially since this was our second bad experience here. We were excited to try their new breakfast menu. When we arrived, there were only three other people seated in the restaurant. The hostess seated us without menus. After waiting about 10 minutes, we finally got up and found menus ourselves. We then waited more than 20 minutes before a server even came to our table. We asked for recommendations on the new food and told she didn't know hadn't tried it. When our waitress arrived, she seemed completely unfamiliar with the menu and struggled to enter our order into the handheld system. She did not repeat our order back to us, so we called her back specifically to confirm what we had ordered. We also asked her for recommendations and were told she hadn't eaten any. She didn't ask us how we wanted our eggs cooked either. About 20 minutes later, our food arrived completely wrong. We ordered four breakfast meals. Instead, we received three sides of eggs and a side of bacon. We also had serious concerns about food-handling practices. Our waitress served food while wearing extremely long artificial nails. We watched another employee wear gloves while touching money, the computer, and food without changing the gloves or washing his hands between tasks. We asked for the manager on duty and explained everything that had happened. Unfortunately, the response was no better. He did not introduce himself, seemed equally confused about what was happening, and offered no immediate resolution. After waiting another 10 minutes, we finally got up and left. What makes this worse is that this was our second poor experience at Stereo 41. During our first visit for drinks, one of our drinks was served with a metal nut inside the glass. We were told our bill would be taken care of and refunded. That refund never happened. Two visits, two major problems, and no meaningful resolution either time. The combination of extremely poor service, incorrect food, concerning food-handling practices, lack of management response, and our previous experience makes it difficult to understand how this restaurant is operating at this level. We gave Stereo 41 a second chance. Unfortunately, the second experience was worse than the first.

    Halva chocolate cake, baklava in the middle, and (incredible) tiramisu.
    Patricia B.

    Just finished dinner here and it was such a great experience! The food is so tasty, creative, and flavorful. For the appetizer, we had the halloumi and shrimp dishes, plus the hamachi and poke tostadas. All of them were great! My personal favorite was the shrimp and the poke tostada. For entrees, we got the lamp chops, shrimp shishito risotto, and braised chicken. All three were great, the shrimp risotto was my favorite - absolutely delicious. The scalloped potatoes that come with the lamp chops are also incredible. The braised chicken is a very generous portion and enough to share, also tasty. We also got the cucumber salad and creamy chickpeas as our sides, our group loved both. Our last appetizer was the pita and hummus, which was heavenly and so fresh. For dessert, we got the tiramisu, halva chocolate cake, and baklava. Our group loved the tiramisu a lot. I am not a tiramisu girl, but I loved it. The service was also wonderful! Diana was our server and she was really sweet and attentive. She gave us a lot of great recommendations and was so helpful as we made our choices off the menu. Highly recommend if you're looking for a new twist on Mediterranean food with great ambience and service. We can't wait to come back!

    The meatballs
    Will E.

    We saw this place the last time we were in town hanging out and said the next time we come to town we would try it out, so here we are. The inside is really nice and the DJ playing music is great. Its not a club type atmosphere more like a lounge that has food and music which is nice. We came at happy hour so of course we tried drinks and food that was on the happy hour menu. We ordered the Little Red Corvette and the Silk Road. Both of the drinks were great. The little Red Corvette is one of those drinks that you could keep drinking so fast and then it hit you. The Silk Road had more of a sipper drink, manly because of the type of alcohol in it, you couldn't drink it fast like the little Red Corvette. For apps we ordered the Beef Karaz meatballs, the Halloumi cheese skewers, and the Mushroom Skewers. The apps came out pretty quick which was nice. The meatballs were tender, had a curry flavor to it, and the sauce that accompanied it was perfect sweet taste to it. The Cheese skewers were cooked perfect and tasty. The mushrooms skewers had some good flavor and also cooked perfect. The service was great as well. The employees were really nice and attentive. We will definitely be back to try some entrees.

    Yes. While I didn't see isn't kids there while I was there, children would be welcome. I would say it's definitely more of an adult space. Suggest you call and ask.

I did expect the Pesto Eggplant to have the eggplant cooked down a bit more to allow the eggplant to have more of a creamy texture but that's just personal preference. Under the Tuscan sun was quite delicious and perfect for the summertime with the cannelini beans, mozz, lemon and peppery arugula. We did add two dips - the harissa and the creamy zataar. The harissa was better. The zataar needed a lot more zataar. All in all, would return!

Fantastic drink. My friend tasted mine and ordered the same. The selection is the draw here.

One look at the shelves tells you they have the base for any drink you want. We split the Margherita flatbread, pesto, fresh mozzarella, and blistered cherry tomatoes, and it hit the spot as a drinking snack. The menu goes deeper than expected for a bar, with sliders, naan tacos, and charcuterie if you show up hungry. Service was good considering the staff-to-crowd ratio.
