It was too noisy to talk between the four of us. The service was slow. The food was very good, especially the spinach and the desserts. The manager came by which was a nice touch. The garden salad was blah, could use a few more ingredients.

We had early reservations at 5:15pm but got there even earlier but luckily they open at 4:30pm. We were promptly seated and Paul our amazing server brought us delicious crisp martinis and a yummy prawn cocktail. The dining room is tasteful and cozy. Our dinners were so good, prime rib cooked perfectly. The au gratin potato's and creamed spinach were very good. No baked potato's on the menu unfortunately and 2 options for salad, ceasar and mixed green with vinaigrette dressing but those were both yummy as well and the pear bread pudding with carmel sauce was scrumptious! Thanks for the recommendation Paul! We will definately be back!

Prime rib was great! The creamed spinach was too peppery and no salt. The gratin potatoes, Caesar salad and lava cake were TERRIBLE! Salad had wilted leaves and no dressing, potatoes were oily and flat like they had been sitting all day and the cake tasted frozen. They need to add baked potato to the menu AND Yorkshire pudding! Everything hot is pre-made and served from a warming table like buffet food.

The food was excellent. Salad, Prime Rib and sides were very good. Service was just OK. Had to wait a long time to have our order taken and food delivered. We had to tell the manager that we had been waiting a long time for dessert. It is fairly new and they are still working to try and provide excellent service.

Went with friends for my wife’s birthday. She was wished happy birthday when we went in, but no desert or glass of wine or anything was offered to her. Prime rib was not bad, but not great. Her fish was adequate. Salad was good. Drinks took a long time. Fee for splitting main course. Bread was hard and dry, clearly not fresh. I complained about the bread and was told they received the wrong bread that was ordered from the bakery, clearly was days ago. 15$ valet parking, in Walnut Creek. New restaraunt but needs alot of improvement. VERY EXPENSIVE.

This was a birthday celebration and a prime rib surprise. Our server was excellent and very accomodating. The prime rib was "melt in your mouth" delicious like non other that we've had. We will be back soon!

Food was disappointing 🙁 Beef was not as tender as I’d expect, chewy. Three of us had the king cut and it seemed the same size as the regular? Small dollop of mashed potatoes and sadly creamed spinach was awful. Caesar was good but a small portion Beautiful venue, a bit cold however temperature-wise. An expensive menu so need to up their cuisine?

The prime rib was barely chewable and therefore not really edible.

Overall a good start for this new spot. Prime rib seasoning is good! But the cooking could use more work like dial in time and temp. Sides were really out shining the prime rib. Need more attention to detail on the cocktails. One of our glasses was chipped and one had a lemon seed in it and it was just bourbon and ice. It wasn’t really a big deal for me but server comped one of the drinks. The maitre’d, server and bussers are awesome! Really out going and friendly FOH. I’d come back and wanna see how management refines the service over time and maybe add more to the menu.
