Best Romantic Restaurants in Pleasant Hills

This was only our second time dining at Elven. Special treat for our anniversary. It was wonderful. Food is excellent, service is excellent. We recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good meal and relax. Every thing was timed perfectly.

The restaurant was perfectly dressed for Christmas. Our party of 10 was meticulously cared for by Sheldon. His professional demeanor and attention to detail were superb. The meal was served simultaneously by 4 waitstaff. Each of our plates were set in front of us at the exact same time. It was like nothing I’ve ever experienced. The food was incredible. I personally ordered the surf and turf combo meal. The steak melted in your mouth and there’s a shrimp on top that could win a ‘world’s biggest’ competition. I cannot recommend Del Frisco enough!!

It was my husband and mine first dining experience at this restaurant. Staff was extremely kind and on point, especially our server Brian! The food was off the charts delicious; fresh ingredients, balanced and unique flavors that was surprisingly familiar to me from an amazing restaurant in Bellevue that we previously frequented (closed years ago)…to my delight, we learned from the extremely personable General Manager Angie, that the owner of this restaurant had previously worked at that Bellevue location and had a business dealing with that owner as well. We also thoroughly enjoyed the gigantic meatball appetizer, the perfect bread (crispy on the outside and soft in the middle) served with a tasty infused dipping oil, the house salad (one of the best that I have ever had and the dressing was extremely reminiscent of that restaurant in Bellevue), and the Canestri bolognese entree was just incredible (a very generous portion)!! In addition, this restaurant (been at the previous restaurant a few times called The Classroom) is beautifully charming!! My husband and I look forward to returning soon to enjoy another delicious meal…my goal over the coming year, will be to have tried everything on the menu!!

We decided to try the resteraunt for a family celebration for a college graduation. I mentioned it would be a graduation when I made the reservation but didn’t request anything special. We were pleasantly surprised to be greeted with a private room decorated beautifully for the holidays and the occasion. We had first class service from multiple staff doting on us including the manager. Our server was top tier! Fabulous wine list, table side cace de oepe and veal chops were delicious with superb presentation. They quickly made accommodations for an allergy and an offered a vegetarian menu option. We are an Italian family who love to cook and eat and it’s hard to impress us but we were all over the moon with our experience and meals. They even treated the graduate to a special dessert! Definitely felt like an elevated family Italian celebration!. Truly impressed and we will be back!! Highly recommend!

We had a group of 10 for a celebration and they were great. They were so accommodating and our Server, Tyler, was the best. He really helped me navigate the process and answered all my questions without making me feel dumb.
