As someone that used to work in the same shopping center as Eureka, I always noticed how big of a…read morecrowd they attract! This past weekend I got a chance to try it with my boyfriend, who's already had it once before. We decided to go in around 8pm on a Saturday. We attempted to call beforehand to check in with how busy the restaurant was as we were both starving and wanted food asap! We weren't able to get past their automated answer choices, so we decided to take a risk and go in. Upon arrival, it was a joy to see that there was not many people eating as well as no waitlist to be seated. We got seated immediately by what seems to be the restaurant manager. He was nice and made us feel welcome. Our server for the night whom I forgot the name of, was sweet and responsive to our needs as well! We were pleasantly surprised by how empty the restaurant was. We both ordered burgers, which my bf had recommended to me based on the one other time he came. Our food came out so quickly, I would say just around 10 minutes! I got their "Eureka! American" with cheddar cheese rather than swiss. Oh my gosh, it was one of the best burgers I've had! It was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. My bf got the Bacon Jalapeño Jam Burger which he liked, but said the bread was almost too sweet for his liking. It's also worth noting that their bathrooms were super clean and taken care of, which is usually not the case at these type of restaurants. I can't wait to come back and try their truffle fries next! I definitely wish I tried them that night but it just gives me an excuse to come back!

Now why would they change something that was working so well? The experience really has something left to be desired now. For one the burger is no longer on the happy hour menu, The sweet potato fries no longer have honey on them, And the truffle fries no longer have the sauce on the side Really don't appreciate the cost cutting.

We arrived right at 3pm when HH starts and were greeted immediately by the host who told us we could sit anywhere at the bar , once we sat we were greeted by Julez who was such a great help and let us try a few beers until we found one we really liked. The food came out and it was great , we tried the pizza, the ahi tuna nachos, and the wings . Everything was great. Good sports bar with a ton of TV's definitely recommend to sit at the bar for HH

I hate to write a negative review. I didn't even get a chance to eat…read more My partner and I went here at 4:30ish pm on Sunday for a nice early dinner. A rush of people had left the restaurant at the same time because a sports game ended. The time to get seated was incredibly short, taking less than 5 minutes for us two. Once seated the hostess did not offer us anything, instead saying someone else would come help us and she hurried off. We sat for over twenty minutes without a single server speaking to us. In that time we had four separate parties of 1-4 all be seated around us. They all were given drinks either by hosts or servers. Two of them had orders taken. We were not asked how we were. Even after activating the "need waiter" mode on the tablet every single server ignored us. I know mistakes happen, a rush had ended and we may have been lost in the shuffle. Every server who looked at us and the tablet could have checked in. It was clearly bright and alerting. The restaurant wasn't incredibly busy, as our section was mostly empty when we entered. As we were getting up one of the servers looked at both of us, the alerting tablet on the table, and then towards the table next to us and asked if they needed help. I have to mention that all the people who were served before us were white. Most of their servers were. The hostess who sat us down also was. We are an interracial couple. I am very visibly middle eastern. It felt incredibly targeted. We would tip as much as any other party. We wouldn't treat the staff poorly. All we did was have a brown guy at the table. When we went to hand our menus and unused utensils back to the hosts the only host who showed any concern and attempted to help wasn't white. She offered to get us reseated and immediately helped. Considering the racist treatment towards us by the other staff we declined. We left promptly. I would love for someone from the management team to reach out and look at any footage of the incident to clarify what might've happened. Our reservation at check in was under my partners name and placed at 4:34pm.

It has an intimate, gorgeous atmosphere, fantastic cocktails, and a great wine list, especially if you enjoy Italian reds like I do. What truly sets the experience apart, though, is the manager, Walter (Wally). We first met him years ago when he managed Il Fornaio, another Walnut Creek staple. Wally is an absolute gentleman--warm, personable, and attentive. He always remembers us and greets us like old friends. If you visit, be sure to say hello to him; he's the kind of person who never forgets a face.

You might want to get here early because it fills up quick and has limited tables available. Clean and sleek design with an efficient kitchen and staff. I ordered the majestic which consists of braised spare rib with a sauce, carrots and mashed potatoes. Our waitress was pleased when I gave her the order because she knew it was impossible to have a negative review on this establishment when you eat this dish. Outstanding quality, freshness and taste. We also ordered the fried rice with sirloin and French omelet. The chef must have spent a season in Paris because the omelet was textbook French, impressive. The sirloin was good too but my wife didnt really care for the rice. I liked the rice but it wouldn't hurt if they gave a steamed rice option. Next time we'll request that instead for a 10/10 dish. We also had the crown drink and the garden of Versailles. Both were worth trying if you come here. The presentation for the crown drink had every neighboring table turning their heads and ordering one for themselves. Our wonderful waitress suggested the drink and also got elated when we did because she knew we were gonna leave with all smiles. I can't give this place enough credit, and I cant wait wait to come back to try other items on the menu that I had my eye on.

I believe they're owned by Lapisara Eatery which is also a well-known spot in SF. I originally wanted some classic brunch items, but their étouffée and the majestic sounded really good. Both dishes were soo yummy. The étouffée had a good amount of crab and crawfish, and it was hearty and comforting. The majestic was THE STAR. A little after they set the dish down, the meat literally just slipped off the bone. The short rib had a nice crust on the outside and was cooked perfectly inside. It was so good. My only complaint was how little mashed potatoes we got. Other pictures seem to have gotten a healthy scoop, but we got what looked like a a smear of mashed potatoes. Considering the price I wish they added a bit more. Regardless, our meal was amazing. Everyone was so kind and the inside was very trendy. I loved it!

It used to be a hangout for my ragtag group of friends/karaoke singers, and like-minded people. Now, it smells like smoke, people are vaping inside, it's nothing but rap music blaring (they had the jukebox disabled so no one could change the music), and a bunch of young people are playing some sort of dice game, where they SLAM a dice cup on the table and SCREAM about the results of their roll (or WTF ever because I don't actually know how the game works), and yell things like, "that's how Antioch does it!!!" If you're so proud of Antioch and how it "does it", then stop screaming and go the fuck back there. Why are you here disturbing the locals? Also, I'm not entirely sure this place is safe.
