Chicken risotto
Bikashita S.

Love this place! The food is fresh and delicious, and service is always top notch. Highly recommended.

A Z Flor H.

We casually stumbled upon this place after our evening stroll down candy cane lane which was just around the corner of main Street. We chose this after viewing their menu as we passed by. This is our first time eating out at a restaurant since having our first kid. And there was plenty of patio seating and room for our stroller. The twinkly Christmas lights and space heaters were really adding to the holiday spirit. We ordered the farro salad and fettuccine Alfredo to share. The salad was good. Fresh. The Alfredo was good too. It wasn't overly savory or too cheesy and heavy like most chain restaurant pastas might taste like. Also the shrimp/prawns were cooked perfectly and VERY generous which I appreciated. I also had a Shirley temple. I just got so used to not drinking alcohol anymore since before trying getting pregnant. And they used the good cherries, NOT the maraschinos. Would definitely come back. The food was good . The prices were fair. The wait staff was very attentive and checked up on us a few times even when we were the only guests eating outside on the patio. The staff even changed the space heater gas tank for us which helped keep us to stay warm because it WAS chilly outside.

Mushroom ravioli

This place is great! My experience was wonderful. Big Thanks to Corey, our waiter, he provided excellent service and was friendly and courteous during our meal. My recommendation is mushroom ravioli, it's absolutely delicious!

Tri Valley Breakfast Plate
A L.

Nice small outside front patio with good service. The breakfast plate was simple, nothing noteworthy. The bacon hash was ok. Plenty of bacon and sausage but seemed to lack flavor balance- maybe some onions and garlic would have helped. Enjoyed the side fresh fruit but could have been cut a bit smaller.

Peach Violette Gin Sour
Jessica M.

Right in the middle of Downtown Pleasanton, it is at a perfect location for a dinner during the holidays. The service was great and the staff was welcoming. They easily accommodated a group of 10 for a reservation on a Thursday evening, but I am sure on a busy weekend it would be hard to get in without a reservation as it is a smaller space. The appetizers were yummy and a wide variety. Warm artichoke bruschetta and tempura shrimps were my favorite. The bruschetta was the perfect amount of flavoring and texture was not runny, the arugula and cherry tomatoes were a good touch to add a balance. The tempura shrimp was crunchy and not the usual japanese style, which made it unique and a good twist. My main meal was the ribeye steak and I ordered medium rare and unfortunately, my plate was very undercooked. A colleague of mine also had the same order and hers looked just right. The staff was very understanding and took my order back, it did get cooked a little more but still very rare. For dessert, ferrero rocher chocolate cake was decent, but more of a chocolate mousse cake. The key lime pie was very tart. The drinks we ordered were peach violette gin sour and pompei martini, both of which were unique and a solid addition to the entire meal. Great environment and prime location. Food was good and if I do go back I definitely want to try the chicken risotto

Crunchy French Toast
Lily D.

I came here thinking this brunch spot would be great due to the reviews. I have passed by this place many times and it looked like people were enjoying themselves. The restaurant was packed and had a cute atmosphere. I appreciate the nice service There is even outside patio seating for people watching. You can't go wrong with complimentary bread, which was a nice for them to offer while waiting for my food. While the menu offered typical items you would see at a standard American diner, I found the brunch menu to be mediocre. The food was okay, but I was not a fan of the presentation of other dishes. I decided to settle for the Crunchy French toast. I thought I'd give it a 4/5 because it was something different from the menu. I liked the whipped mascarpone cheese topping with fruit on the side. Overall, delicious and crunchy hence the name. The combination between cereal and French toast is genius. Probably better than standard French toast I have had.

Tri-valley Bistro seemed like a somewhat upscale place when we first ate there years ago. We revisited recently and we're not so impressed this time. I had a salmon dish, which was underwhelming, and The Wife's chicken was merely adequate. It wasn't bad, just Melo's level, for a much higher price. We love eating along Main Street, and visiting other stores nearby, but we likely won't be stopping in here again.

I had the bacon hash with over easy eggs, he had french toast
Dianna P.

Came here on a Saturday because my husband was craving french toast. We walked in with no reservations but were able to be seated and served quickly. Bread and butter is complimentary, bread was simple but it was soft and warm. For our appetizer we ordered arancini, they were crispy outside and creamy and rich inside. I would order again. I ordered bacon hash with over easy eggs and my husband had the french toast. My bacon hash tastes how you would expect, lots of big pieces of bacon and sausages too! The french toast was very crunchy-it reminded me of cinnamon toast crunch cereal (yum!).

Penne curry pasta with prawns
Jenny C.

We don't live in the area, but throughout the years whenever we visit Pleasanton, we love coming to this place for lunch. The food never disappoints: fresh ingredients with great flavor. Everything's so well cooked. Friendly staff too! Definitely will be back again and again.

You can tell when someone truly cares about what they do, and it shows in every bite. The flavors were bold, perfectly balanced, and somehow even better than I imagined. It felt like every detail was done with passion and pride. And the person behind it all? Super kind, welcoming, and clearly talented. Watching someone put that much love into their cooking is rare these days. I walked in expecting a normal meal... and left completely blown away. If you ever get the chance to try their food, do it--you'll understand why I'm still talking about it!

Order: lox croissandwich, black sesame latte…read more Selected this place because I am a sucker for anything breakfast that has some type of Asian fusion within its menu. The lox croissandwich was good, however, I asked for tomato because I needed an added flavor profile and the saltiness of the lox made me want more hydration in the bite. I usually don't like capers but today they were fine. Croissant was toasted nicely. Service: excellent. A pretty woman greeted us quickly and because it was such a beautiful day, she was coming out to bring our meals and drinks back and forth. She brought us our drinks. My drink was supposed to be with almond milk but I suspected it may have been regular milk. Although I disclose that I rarely order black sesame; it was very very sweet so I ended up not taking a chance and drinking it. My husband and daughter had vanilla lattes and lemonade with their breakfast bacon sandwich and salad. My daughter wanted to go there again today. (Posting a day later). The ambiance was very nice. I had never been to this downtown area. We were across the street from a really cute historic gas station. Great seating for people watching and enjoying the warming heat of summer on the patio. Really lovely experience at Bocado.

A Fantastic Family Brunch Spot in Downtown Pleasanton!…read more Tucked away on a charming side street just off Main Street, Le Palais Sucré is an absolute gem. We stopped by around noon on a Saturday and were thrilled to be seated immediately--which is a massive win for a weekend! Despite getting a table right away, the place had a great energy and was filled with people enjoying their brunch. They have plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating to choose from. The food and drinks completely delivered: * The Chocolate Bonus: My son ordered this, and it was a showstopper. A chocolate crêpe packed with strawberries, bananas, and Nutella, then topped with chocolate syrup and powdered sugar. This was hands-down one of the best crêpes we have ever tasted--absolutely heavenly! * Chorizo Omelette: My wife and I shared this, and it was divine. It was served perfectly warm, cheesy, and loaded with spicy pork chorizo, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and pepper jack cheese. * Mushroom Galette: Our second shared item was a savory buckwheat crêpe filled with mozzarella, sautéed mushrooms, and red onions, all topped with a gorgeous sunny-side-up egg. Another really good, flavorful dish. * Ham & Eggs: Ordered by my daughter, this came with a side of home potatoes and garlic toast. It was a solid, decent option that rounded out the table well. The Drinks & Service We ordered a Vanilla Latte and a Caramel Latte. Both arrived extra hot and featured some beautiful art on the foam. The vanilla latte in particular was exceptional--honestly one of the best we've ever had. To top off a wonderful meal, our waitress, Jocelyn, was incredibly nice and attentive throughout our visit. I definitely recommend Le Palais Sucré if you're looking for a fantastic spot for a family brunch or lunch. We will absolutely be back!

This is back in 25', the golden ages, back when gas was still under $4 bucks and one could afford delicacies like this. Brought my wife and our baby here, heard it was great. And man, it was far than great, it was amazing! I had the Neapolitan and my wife had the Strawberry and Banana short pancakes. Portions were really good and it was all delicious. Made with literal love and sprinkled with joy. Service was great too, and the space and ambiance was very family friendly. Would definitely come again.

Sharing the tri-tip steak and eggs with my daughter. And an ube latte, ube matcha iced coffee and mango matcha. When it comes to the Bay Area's ube drinks, I'm always let down and I surprise myself when I do order it. Like tell me I'm lying when Starbucks' ube was a massive fail for me as a Filipino. Post- meal: steak was medium rare and juicy. My younger daughter was in heaven with her tri-tip and A1. Country potatoes were well seasoned. My daughter had club sandwich which she ate voraciously. She's not typically a sandwich person so this was a good sign! Our specialty drinks. Now, with the ube. The ube foam had the tiniest hint of ube flavor but it was more of a purple foam and didn't satisfy my craving. My younger daughter had the ube matcha and although she liked the ube foam, she kept asking me to ask for more because her drink only tasted like matcha. It was more of the same for my daughter who thought there wasn't enough mango in the mango matcha. If we don't finish our drinks, we usually take it home to go but we decided to leave ours. It's not enough to have a good presentation of specialty coffee drinks but the taste leaves one wanting. I want them to do good. There are better foams and syrups out there. Check out the syrup that Porto's uses for their ube matcha. There's great small batch syrups as well. Our waiter was lovely. You get the sense that this is possibly his family's business. If not, he definitely had pride in this restaurant and his work which leads me to believe that I would give this place a try again to eat their food and see if they've improved their coffee menu.

I've had it bookmarked since Christmas time of last year. We came here for lunch on a Saturday couple of weeks ago. Ordering was easy on the kiosk. There were several tables there already enjoying their food. We nabbed the table in front of the mural and waited for our food. I think about 8-10 minutes passed til our food was ready. I noticed that they had a cute robot to deliver some of the orders, but ours were just brought out at the counter by one of the staff members. We got the Bulgogi Egg Toast Sandwich, Spam Egg + Avocado Toast Sandwich, two tater tots, and two Dalgona Coffees. Both sandwiches were flavorful, soft, a little crunchy from the perfect toasting, and just YUMMY! The tater tots were crunchy and yum too. The Dalgona Coffee was delicious as well. I thought there would be dalgona crunchy bits, but no. That would have make it even better if it had. The staff seem friendly. The place was cute, colorful, and clean.

But honestly, what made the experience unforgettable was the atmosphere. We came in as a group and left feeling like we'd had a full-on celebration. The staff, the energy, the food -- everything just clicked. If you're looking for a fun, feel-good spot to share a meal with people you love, Egg Happiness it is! Highly, HIGHLY recommend!
