Best Date Night Restaurants in Orinda

Always enjoy their pasta but thought we would try their entrees. The lamb shank and the petrale soul were savory and presented well, though a bit more rich than we are accustomed to. The radicchio salad was very good and our desserts were great. Our waiter, Benjamin was really nice as was the maitre d’. A great neighborhood restaurant!

As a foodie, I'm comfortable saying that this is the best French restaurant in the East Bay. We've been going here Three or four times a year since the restaurant opened and it's always been great. Chef Paul and his team are awesome. The outdoor patio area is wonderful in the summer and covered and heated in the winter.

Food was so good and everyone was so nice! I asked for a booth and they adjusted my reso without question and did all they could to accommodate. Only "issue" was that at times it did get a tad bit too loud (maybe due to where we were sitting, no carpet on the floor in the section I was sitting in), but that's also what made the ambiance so fun and exciting! So really no complains. I would def go back again. PS - The Cod and the Duck were super yummy! They also have homemade Kombucha!

Great service, food, ambiance and all creating an awesome dining experience!

Delicious food, attentive service, and generous portions. Price is slightly high, but definitely worth it for what you get.
