Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Martinez

Due to the popularity that is now on social media, our reservation was a year out for 2 people. They have a valet service in the front so you do not need to find parking and the price was reasonable for a Saturday night in the city. This place is busy with so many diners inside. This was my husband’s and I first time coming. The menu its self was extremely simple which we loved and easy to understand and they have a great wine list. The prime rib was excellent and we were so full after we were done. I was going to go for seconds but started to get the meat sweats. So I decided to make room for dessert. I would say if you are wanting to go, you might have a better chance for an earlier reservation if you book as a group. We are so glad that we went and would come back again.

Fabulous everything - food, service and drinks! My only issue that I ever have from this FABULOUS place to dine is that the noise level is more energetic than I like. I wish that Bella Siena would invest in some baffling of some kind to dissipate some of the noise. Nevertheless, as always, I will return. The restaurant is WONDERFUL and is a gem of Benicia!

Wonderful staple in downtown Walnut Creek - perfect for a bite to eat and drink in between shopping, or meeting up with friends. Dishes are meant for sharing, and service is professional and on point. I do not drink alcohol anymore, but very much enjoyed their mocktails. Well done, and am glad the restaurant exists to provide lovely tapas, paella, and lively atmosphere.

I used to love this place, then I moved abroad for 20 years, but went here again, and it is just as good as I remember!! grilled perfection! the dining room is cozy and warm, the booth seats comfortable. our server was the best - attentive but not intrusive - he really did an outstanding job (don't recall his name but has worked there 9 years and has 2 little kids, brown hair with some facial hair - shout out to him - he did a great job!) appetizers arrived lightning fast - aubergine and warm pita, grilled stuffed calamari(YUM), lamb meatballs (nomnomnom), baked gigante beans. mains were lamb skewers (yum) and branzino(5star), which was insanely delish and highly recommended. dessert was baklava, which I don't normally love, but theirs was sooo good and spicy, I highly recommend, and we got an ice cream sundae which was enormous and tasty. im so pleased Kokkari is still around and better than ever. great meal - thanks to the entire team!! can't wait to go back !!

What a find! Food choices were great- love the fact they are shareable as it's hard sometimes for my wife and me to try different things at a restaurant with individual/full portions. Quality was excellent as dishes are innovative, accurately described, and tasty. Don't pass on the caviar potato cloud (insider tip- order one for yourself instead of sharing)! And the drinks are also innovative and quite balanced in their flavor profiles!
