The server was not having a good moment when taking our order, but afterwards, he was much friendlier. My taste buds wanted to stay simple, so I chose their Toast Omelette, and my friend had the Mini Omelette, which is the one in the back of the photo. The Toast Omelette was very good with lots of veggies and a good amount of carnitas. The salsa had a little bit of heat to it, but delicious with the sour cream and avocado. I asked for extra crispy hash browns, but I felt it could've been crispier. On the downside, the potatoes were not fully cooked.

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. I don't think I have had a bad thing yet!

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.

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 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.

Bravazo is located in downtown Pleasanton, there are plenty of free parking in the area. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating! I stopped by on a Friday and with it being 70+ degrees, I opted for sitting inside! I ordered the passion fruit juice and aji de gallina. The juice was so refreshing on a nice day like this. The food did take some time and they offered me a beef empanada while I waited! Both the empanada and aji de gallina were very flavorful. Even the inside of the potato was very seasoned. My guest got the pan con chicharron and thought the meat was very tender and tasty. The staff were great especially Cesar!! Bathroom is located in the back outside so you'll need to ask the staff for the key. Overall, great atmosphere and great food! Can't wait to come back!

Vibrant flavors and great outdoor dining in downtown Pleasanton!…read more Rating: 5 out of 5 stars We were just walking around downtown Pleasanton planning to visit another Latin-American restaurant when we came across Bravazo. Its vibrant menu immediately caught our attention. Purely by coincidence, we also wanted to listen to some live music, and to our luck, there was live jazz playing right across the street at Nonni's Bistro. We decided to eat at Bravazo and enjoy the music at the same time. I really like when a menu is simple and concise because it gives you the feeling they make sure every dish is cooked to perfection, and they certainly delivered on that! Here is what we ordered: Bravazo Paella: Beautifully presented and served in a massive quantity. It consists of shrimp, mussels, chicken, beef, and chorizo in a deeply flavorful broth. Everything about this dish was fantastic, every bite delivered, and it came with a generous portion of meat and seafood. Peruvian Ceviche (Salmon, Medium Spicy): Made with fresh salmon marinated in lime, cilantro, onions, ginger, sweet potato, and Peruvian corn. It was really good, though I could have done without the spice, so next time I will order it mild. The corn kernels were huge compared to our local corn; we asked about them, and the staff mentioned they ship them directly from Peru, which was a wonderful authentic touch. Custom Salad: Even though a salad was not on the menu, we asked our server if they could accommodate our request, and they happily did! It was a very nice salad that hit the spot, featuring a great portion of avocados, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red Swiss chard, and feta cheese. Service Highlight: They have a server, but the owner also helps out at the tables. It was very thoughtful of the owner to make sure we got fresh new plates for the Peruvian ceviche so the flavors would not mix with the paella. We were so glad we did that because it let us fully appreciate the distinct taste of the ceviche. Practical Details & Atmosphere: Portions and Ordering: When we were seated, the server was very polite and helpful in explaining the portion sizes. He mentioned the paella was big enough to keep two people happy for a while, but we might want a bit more later. We ended up ordering the ceviche midway through our paella, and guess we were hungry because we ended up cleaning all our dishes completely. Parking & Seating: The weather was perfect for outdoor seating, and with the live jazz playing across the street, the meal felt even better. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. We were able to park a few blocks away for a short, easy walk. Surprisingly, the downtown stretch was not too busy that Saturday evening, making parking a breeze, though it can get tough if a local event is happening. Overall, Bravazo is a wonderful spot with incredible food and great service. It is definitely a must-visit, and next time we might even try their drinks too!

Loved the candied walnuts, organic mixed greens, topped with Gorgonzola. Nice refreshing with a nice sweetness. Grilled Atlantic salmon - 3.5: Salmon was cooked nicely on the pesto couscous. Salmon was topped with a jalapeño sauce, but didn't taste any heat nor jalapeños in it. Broccoli was just plain steamed broccoli. Overall, good dish, but nothing special. Dream Old Men cocktail - 5/5: cross between old fashioned and manhattan. I have never had a cross between the two and it was very tasty. On top of that, they definitely provided a heavy pour which was very welcomed on a Friday night. Overall, great service, vibes were great with friendly staff and patrons. Recommended for a nice night out.
