I have wanted to come here for a long time. It was a last minute opportunity. The hostess was kind and accommodated my party which I appreciated. The food was just okay and the service was just alright. On weekends, they charge a mandatory 20% gratuity which makes me think since servers already know they’re getting that tip, so there’s no need to try. The food we ordered was the chicken karaage, vodka pasta, wedge salad and rib eye. In my opinion the best dish was the salad, which had a hair on it but they replaced it. This place is probably better for suited for those who want to experience a cool night life with a few cocktails and light on the food.

decent rooftop bar/restaurant. Even though it's offers a clear and unobstructed vantage point, there isn't much to see in Walnut Creek. They have nice staff though.

Only tried their drinks and appetizers which were both really good. Spent hours here just talking it’s definitely a comfortable place to chill. We got seated by the edge which was nice because you can see the street view.

I recently visited this rooftop bar and was genuinely blown away by the entire experience. The views were stunning, but it was the food and drinks that truly stole the show. The crispy duck was a standout — perfectly cooked with a golden, crisp skin and juicy, flavorful meat. It struck that rare balance of texture and taste that you don’t find often. The spicy rigatoni was another hit — rich

A Delight This restaurant transcends the ordinary, offering a truly delightful culinary journey evident in every dish and drink. Shrimp Vodka Rigatoni: Prepare for an explosion of flavor. The rigatoni, generously coated in a velvety, rich vodka sauce, provides the perfect canvas for the sweet and succulent shrimp. Each bite is a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that will leave you craving more. Crispy Fried Cauliflower: This isn't your average vegetable side. The Fried Cauliflower achieves a perfect golden crispness, delivering a satisfying crunch with every mouthful. Served alongside a thoughtfully crafted dipping sauce and vibrant fresh herbs, it's a flavorful and surprisingly addictive dish. Braised Short Rib Masterpiece: The Short Rib is not just a dish; it's a visual and gustatory experience. The slow-braised meat, boasting a deep, glossy glaze, promises fork-tender perfection. Accompanied by creamy mashed potatoes and crisp-tender green beans, it's a comforting yet elegant plate. Mule: Quench your thirst with the Mule, a vibrant and refreshing cocktail that looks as good as it tastes. The bright hues and thoughtful garnish of an orange slice hint at the tropical flavors waiting to tantalize your senses. Though I felt the alcohol content was on the lower side. Beyond the exceptional taste, this restaurant clearly values the art of presentation. Each dish is thoughtfully composed, demonstrating a commitment to creating a memorable dining experience for every guest. With a diverse menu showcasing both classic favorites and innovative creations, there's undoubtedly something to delight every palate.

Went today on a date with my boyfriend, our first time being here. The stars alone say it all, the view was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the food was yummy! I will only note that while they have heaters for the balcony seats, I personally didn't feel the heaters at all, today in particular was windy ( I regretted not bringing a sweater) and of course the temperature outside is at no fault to the restaurant, just something for future patron to keep in mind,not you get cold easily like me, just bring a sweater for just in case even if you end up not needing it. But everything was great despite the chilly air, we'll hopefully come back in the future!

The food and the service were both good. Truffle fries with mussels and clams is crispy and has satisfying truffle taste compared to other truffle fries.
