It also has an old-timey study or library or at least a literary vibe to this place. There's multiple rooms, including a stage in the back room. I think they have events here. Service is friendly and they have classic drinks as well as some festive ones. I was here on St. Patrick's Day so I got something festive even though it was overly sugary lol. I ordered the Lucky Charms White Mocha. It was tasty, but definitely a drink I wouldn't be able to order on the regular. I was able to set up my computer and one of the side rooms and get some work done. This place seems to be a very popular place for studying and doing some work. Just a great place in a great area. They have a large lot and there's also plenty of street parking in the area, especially during the day.

The trinkets here are expensive but beautiful! I just visited this place again and now that I am a…read morefew years older I am able to appreciate the beauty of the aged building. There are cracks on the walls and the shackles and rooftop is very old-fashioned but that just adds to its charm. The owners of the shop were so sweet. They offered water and snacks and are just plain genuine. They didn't put any pressure on us to buy or to leave, even though they were closing up. They seemed more content with people just visiting and gawking at the historical site. This place is also part of the ghost tour held during Halloween. Yup, there have been many incidents here. Like footsteps on the second floor, objects being moved, stuff like that. The staircase within the shop gave me a creepy vibe. It is made of old wood and it is narrow. Looking up to the second floor is eerie and uncomfortable. Maybe I felt that way because my friend just told me that the ghosts known to inhibit the Kottinger Barn can be heard walking up and down these very steps. **Shivers** Ohhh ghost stories give me the willys but I love them! The way the owners set up the back yard is cute. It's ambiance is old and used and also kind of sad and lonely for it looked like it was abandoned for years. I can imagine the ghost sitting on one of the chairs, looking out of the yard at the changed world...(there goes my imagination again)

Our Castlewood wedding was absolutely perfect! I cannot recommend this venue enough :)…read more For one, it's a gorgeous venue with incredible views and spaces. Our photographer had no trouble finding stunning backdrops to use for photos. It ended up raining on our wedding day, so we weren't able to get married in front of the oak tree on the ceremony lawn, but the indoor option ended up working perfectly! Plus, the food at Castlewood is phenomenal. Sandy was an absolute joy to work with while we were planning our event. She was very responsive, patient, and kind while we were navigating the planning process and asking a thousand questions. It's clear that she's very good at what she does and cares about helping people create their dream event. Thank you, Sandy, for helping us celebrate our wedding at Castlewood!

My previous visit (through a member - I'm not a member myself) was for trivia night. This visit was…read morefor Thanksgiving. This was pretty much the first/only Thanksgiving that my family didn't cook at home... like ever. A family member of mine is a member here and suggested, as long as everyone one is on board, that we just pay a nominal amount and do our Thanksgiving meal here. The price felt really reasonable ($75 in 2025) especially since no one was stressing about cooking and clean up etc. We had a pretty large group that included my family, in laws, etc. so the convenience was really appreciated. The food was good too. It was served buffet style and they had seafood, salad, plenty of sides, and some carving stations... oh and a dessert area. There were also beverages to purchase. I got there a little early and got a nice pour of bourbon before the rest of my family got there. There was also a professional photographer on the premises to get pictures from the holiday. Definitely a great option to spend this holiday for sure! Parking was very easy - as they have lots of accessible lots and I think the rest of the club was closed that day.

Attended a wedding here on a Monday afternoon evening early July 2026 and it was amazing! The drive…read moreto the venue is beautiful, there were staff directing us where to park and how to get into the venue, even when it was hot. It is like within a winery, I didn't explore much outside but we were welcomed with a drink either a sangria or lemonade, people immediately wanted to go into the shade and there were places to sit, listen to the live music and sign and drop off gifts. Then cocktail hour started and the bartenders were great and friendly and the alcohol and drinks were really good. The hordouvres/appetizers were amazing!! I liked how they came out and served them and they kept on coming, I ate so much I was worried I was going to be to full for dinner. The bacon wrapped something, I think dates? And the fried chick peas, sandwiches, ceviche, everything was so good with our drinks! They then opened up the ballroom for us to take our seats, it was a sot down served meal and I chose the fish option. It came with a salad first that was huge and bread and then dinner was served efficiently, food was good! The bathrooms are located behind the stage but overall it's a big ballroom, for lots of space and activities like the Photo Booth and other vendors. Sound was good, decorations and staff were awesome, they also have a bridal room with a bathroom nearby for the wedding party and their stuff. I really enjoyed this venue as a guest, pictures were also really nice! Also well air conditioned on a hot day.

We reserved our date quite in advance but had a lot of support in the planning. We first worked with Nicole during the initial planning process, and then things were handed off to our coordinator Makenna. She was excellent to work with when we had questions and changes as we got closer to our date. Palm was also very flexible with us viewing the venue with family in advance and scheduling a rehearsal the week of. Our coordinator Makenna was sick last minute so we worked with Melissa on the day of the wedding. Despite coming in last minute, she took great care of us and everything went smoothly! The ceremony package with wedding coordinator was a great value for how smoothly everything went. We definitely recommend working with preferred vendors whenever possible to make things even easier, as they have good relations with the venue and paperwork is easier. We are so glad we got married here and can't wait to visit the winery again in the future! Thanks so much to Makenna and Melissa for making our special day so memorable!

Beautiful venue for an outdoor wedding ceremony followed by dinner inside in downtown Sunol. It was…read moreour first time coming to in which the closest town is Pleasanton. Probably one of the most memorable weddings as during the couples vows when a freight train passed by for 5 minutes which caused some laughter by the Officiant and guests. After dinner was served which by the way the pre-selected entrees of steak, salmon and chicken Marsala were actually really good snd not overcooked, the guests were either dancing or waiting in line for their ice cream from Mr. Softee when those inside were told to evacuate due to an electrical fire. Prior to the announcement, many of us had seen the outdoor lights flicker on an off and we thought that someone had accidentally was playing with the light switch. Fire department was called and shortly after we left. Staff was very professional throughout the event and no complaints with the indoor and outdoor venues.

We couldn't have asked for a better venue and highly recommend Casa Bella to any couple planning their wedding in the Bay Area that prefers a ceremony and reception all in one place, which makes it super convenient for all the guests. We loved our wedding here so much, that we also came back for Casa Bella's Mother's Day Brunch event too!

The appetizers, entree, and dessert were all timed perfectly. We stayed for a very long time and didn't get rushed at all. The linguine dish was really good. Flavors were on point and nothing was overwhelming on the dish. Very well balanced. The tiramisu was absolutely delish! The vibe of the restaurant was really nice. The decor was simple yet elegant. As it got darker, the candles lit up the room. We were checked on often.

This place is pretty cute inside and out, wish I would have liked it more though! Our waiter was…read morenot super friendly. Not rude either, but wasn't a happy and welcoming experience. The front host staff was friendly though which was nice. The restaurant itself was freezing inside! My wife politely asked our waiter if they could reduce the AC level and the waiter kind of said he'd look into it but nothing came of that/he ignored it. It was literally freezing in there and I was wearing a jacket! Not a comfortable experience. The Penne alla vodka pasta was pretty mid. They for some reason served it on a wide plate which made it cool a lot faster. It was at no point "hot." The pasta itself was cooked well enough, but the sauce and cheese was nothing special, pretty basic. The salad was also mid. The beets seemed like they were canned and the salad was pretty drenched in a basic dressing. The pizzas overall were better than the salad and pastas, although the Diavola pizza's meat was too acidic and bitter. The pizza Amalfi was a better pizza, had a good balance. Overall, this place wasn't anything special food-wise and the fact that the restaurant was so cold and our waiter was not super friendly just turned us off even more.

The course itself is in okay condition, the greens are good but some of the fairways have patchy grass.
