Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Walnut Creek

The appetizers: calamari , bruschetta were very good. The salads were very good and well. The entrees were mixed with the salmon being very good as well as the eggplant Parmesan. The petrale was fair to good. The best part of the evening was our waiter James. He was great in every aspect and is the best waiter I have encountered in a very long time. I eat out regularly and James was excellent. I hope his employer realizes what a great server he has.

Disappointed restaurant was not open, ate in bar area. Server/bartender was doing double duty. He was excellent. Food was fabulous (quiche and salad).

We had a great time. There was a little misunderstanding but the waiter corrected it to our satisfaction right away!

The food, wine, and customer service was excellent. The environment was very relaxing and homey. Shadowbrook is the perfect place for a date night and/or a night out with friends.

Your prototypical neighborhood restaurant and bar that’s achieved something of a landmark status over the years (thus, attracting patrons and actual tourists from greater distances) for serving hearty meals, providing warm attentive service (by waitstaff, some of who have decades of tenure) and by offering a level of conviviality, bonhomie and ambience that makes you feel as if you’re dining with family and friends. Please forgive the evident bias in my review. I’ve been a proud “member” of The Casa (as it’s known by we locals) Family since 1971.
