My biggest complaint was about the wait time to get a table for two on a farmers market Sunday. I see the reason why they were busy but we were quoted 20-30 mts and got seated an hour later! We'll definitely come back (need to try the French toast and the waffles) but plan better next time I guess.

Food was delish, venue is nice (and big), service was ok…read more Everything went fine for my side of the table... the other side ... not so much. Not sure if it was the kitchen or the server but they got it all wrong. 1) Mocha arrived the table late and did not have whipped cream as requested - then we asked if it was decaffeinated and the lady could not confirm... so they said they would make another. 2) Once again it did not have whipped cream. 3) their breakfast order was incorrect over easy eggs (they ordered scrambled) and hash browns (they ordered skillet potatoes) I ordered Chicken Fried Steak and it was good. Cooked well, ratio even, and gravy was super flavorful. Over medium eggs were also cooked perfectly (all white cooked with runny center). I also substituted the toast for a single Lemon Ricotta Pancake - that was also very good! The lemon curd was a great addition!!! The portions are large and quite expensive... so you may want to consider to share a meal. Street parking is limited... so be prepared to drive around to look for a spot. 4 stars instead of 5 ... But like I said - we had a great experience, my brother... not so much. Would I go back? Yes.

Wow -- 15 years as a loyal customer and now I have to walk away…read more I've been with this company for 15 years, and for most of that time their service was excellent. Unfortunately, something has changed, and the quality has dropped dramatically. The customer service specialist, Jessica, was very rude on the phone when I tried to explain the ongoing problems I've been having with leaking tubes and forgotten keys. Even worse, it turns out I haven't been getting proper softener bypass because of corrosion. Instead of standing behind their system, they're blaming city water and want to charge me a minimum of $200 to replace the pipes. Meanwhile, I'm already paying $70 every month for service that's only performed every other month. This level of arrogance after 15 years of loyalty is incredibly disappointing. It feels like they have enough customers now and simply don't care about keeping the long-term ones. Very sad to have to say goodbye, but I can't continue with this kind of service.

They don't communicate well regarding deliveries or account status, was happy…read morewith service at first but once contract is up going back to ReadyRefresh which has an app, month to month and the delivery driver will call you with any issues. Also I had a water softener installed by them, my water pressure noticeably kept getting worse just months after installation until I had near zero pressure within 90 days. I found the issue to be they installed a 1 micron carbon filter which should only be used as a stage 2 or 3 filter, never stage 1. After installing a Pentair 50-pre/ 5-post micron filter water pressures been fine ever since. If I wasn't handy around the house I could've spent hundreds of dollars having a technician come out to troubleshoot the system. (Keep in mind sales rep said filters should last ~12mnths, which is correct if they installed proper type) will never know if that was or was not intentional.

I almost forgot we had to order first before sitting down lol. I have been on a French Toast kick recently, looking for the best French Toast in the bay. This Ube Stuffed French Toast might have a spot in the top 5. I scarfed this down in like... 10 minutes but it was so good. Ube custard wasn't overwhelming. None of this was overwhelmingly sweet even though it presents itself like a dessert. I have a sweet tooth tho so take that with a grain of salt lol. I only used a little bit of syrup but could've easily went without it. The banana in the middle was perfectly ripe and gave a nice relief of sweet freshness. Toast was thick brioche toast so not the lil flimsy slices of bread. Because this was $22 + tax and tip... I will try to recreate this at home. Their napkins had a nice message on it! Didn't remember seeing that the last time I was at a Denica's. They also have what looks like a kid area with toys? Kid table? Idk I saw it in the corner of my eye but I thought that was cool too. I had a bite of the kalua pork hash and * chefs kiss I would've been happy to order that. My lady really enjoyed the cookie butter latte as well. Will happily come back soon.

One of my favorite places for breakfast. My go-to is their Lucky Boy Crepe. It's filled with…read morebananas, strawberries and Nutella. It's topped with caramel, Nutella and whipped cream. I can't do whip but it's still onolicious! My husband always gets their Denica's scramble. It has mushrooms, sausage, potatoes, spinach and of course scrambled eggs. It comes with either fruit or potatoes. Hubby opted for fruits -cantaloupe, blueberries, peaches, honey dew, and strawberries. A very colorful cup of fruits. When I'm in town, Denica's is my favorite place. You have to also try their cookies!!! All their cookies are super delish!! Service is basically, you walk up to the counter and order your food. Then you pick your seat and they bring the food to you. They are pretty good at getting your food there without waiting too long. They offer free corn chips and salsa while you're waiting. They have an aloha vibe so if you're missing Hawaii, the background music is Hawaiian style \w/ Oh!! And you gotta pick up one of their famous cookies!!! Any flavor is delicious! I've tried them ALL!!!! Did I say that already?! Sorry no pics...was hungry and forgot to take 'em.... But if have never gone, what are you waiting for...go now!

We ordered hasbrowns with our entree but they brought out country potatoes instead. Not a big deal as the server brought out a plate of hashbrowns. The pancakes were very thin and small.

The bar room was offered and based on our experience of a live band or good music we chose of our area. Unfortunately, the service ( if there was any) was non existent .

Do you have a food return to the dining room with menus and hand and no one attempted to see what was going on There were only two other couples sitting in the room. It was almost empty. We wound up moving back to the dining area because we plan to have tea and coffee. Once we or seated in the main dining area, the service was stellar. They checked on its regularly. We got water immediately. They took our order within 3 to 5 minutes that continue to check on us throughout the meal refilled our beverages. It is regularly crowded there the beautiful world that room is covered by direct sunlight from the windows that show you the waterfront there's plenty of seating, the music is loud enough to enjoy but low enough to have conversation and enjoy your meal simply perfect I got my favorite the crab sand, which is at market price and delicious. My husband had a jumbo shrimp scrambled that comes with bacon and avocado, and it was delicious. I adore this restaurant and I really enjoy the fact that they've started covering the outdoor patio area so you don't have direct Son. It's a perfect place to enjoy a good Saturday or Sunday brunch with friends and family. It's always have fun. How am full of live with people enjoying their meal Except to spam $50-$75 a person depending on what you choose to eat from the menu and what type of beverage you have and that only includes one beverage Your average brunch scramble or omelette runs about 30 bucks. Anything seafood will be 40 bucks plus coffee and $3.75 and refillable which I love and I can't really show you the cost of a cocktail. It's been a minute.

The Press Cafe is such a gem in downtown Livermore…read more Don't let the long lines discourage you... they move fast, and by the time you order and sit down, your food is already out. This time I had the poblano panini, so full of flavor. We also got the queso egg tacos the blue tortilla is perfect with such robust flavor. Unfortunately I didn't get there in time for the mochi donuts, but I did have the mochi elote cake. Wow, so good. I had to get another slice to go. The brownie cake is rich and moist. The parfait was fresh, with fruit and a honey drizzle. The lavender cookie was delicious, with a very unique flavor profile The only miss was the fresh toast it seemed a bit overcooked. Overall, this place is a gem. There's a parking garage nearby, too.

The inside has a very open-concept, modern vibe that feels clean, comfortable, and welcoming. There's a good amount of seating indoors, along with some outdoor seating and umbrellas if you want to enjoy the nice weather. The food and drink menu is fairly extensive, and prices are on the moderate side, so it's worth taking a look at all of your options to find something that fits your taste and appetite. Everything I've tried so far has been tasty, satisfying, and filling. If you're dining in and order their house drip coffee, they provide a coffee mug, and the coffee is self-serve along with the available extras. If you decide to take your drip coffee to go, just keep in mind that they only offer one size of to-go cup, and it's not particularly large. If you prefer a bigger cup of coffee, you may be a little disappointed. The staff have always been friendly, welcoming, and professional during my visits. With all of the other options available in Livermore, this is definitely a place worth checking out if you're looking for a good spot downtown to grab some food and a drink.

Pretty small inside where you can hear the conversation of people next to you, but definitely feels homey. Service was attentive and standard for a traditional breakfast spot. We got the buttermilk pancakes and steak ranchero omelette. The pancakes were soft and fluffy. The omelette had decent chunks of cubed steak inside, and was fairly large. The salsa they added and maybe leftover moisture from the omelette components did make it a bit runny/soggy. Hash browns were decently crispy. Not a bad spot if you're in a rush for breakfast. I'd probably prefer Denica's.

The service was amazing, welcoming environment and everyone was genuinely kind, and the food was delicious. My husband loved the fried chicken eggs Benedict--huge, flavorful pieces of chicken and a very filling portion. I had the fried chicken and waffles, and I loved the sweet and spicy syrup! The chicken had a very very thick batter, which isn't normally my preference at all, but it was still good and definitely filling. One piece was almost the same size as the waffle! Of course, we had to indulge in the bottomless mimosas, and they did not disappoint!!! Great flavors, a generous amount of champagne, and they kept them coming. Definitely worth the money!!!

I wasn't really feeling traditional brunch food like eggs/pancakes (though they do have that here too), and the noodles really hit the spot. I got an iced butterfly pea latte (lavender / floral flavor) which was alright, nothing to write home about but not terrible. My friend enjoyed the loco moco. Overall, I'm not very familiar with the eats in Pleasant Hill but this was a good place to get brunch.

Every dish was executed flawlessly. The flavors were bold, balanced, and unlike anything I've had before. You could immediately taste how fresh every ingredient was. I was told the menu changes based on what's available at the farmers market, and I absolutely love that philosophy. It really shows in the quality of the food. The flavor combinations, textures, and presentation were all exceptional. Every plate was beautifully crafted, and every bite felt thoughtfully put together. The service was just as impressive. You can genuinely tell that everyone there loves what they do, and that passion comes through in every interaction. The atmosphere was warm, intimate, and made the entire experience feel special. I honestly couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate my fiancée's birthday. This is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out can be an experience, not just a meal.

All their dishes were so unique and ever though I wasn't even sure what I was eating half of the time, it was all so flavorful and memorable. My favorites were a curry mussel dish, pork belly lettuce wrap, and some porridge thing with an egg yolk. I'm looking forward to trying out their next seasonal menu!
