   We had a great time - food was amazing, the creamed spinach was awesome, and the prime rib was perfectly done. We are looking forward to coming back soon! Thank you!

   The restaurant has only been open a month. We were not served because they did not like the quality of the bread from their initial supplier and are still looking for a replacement. Their espresso machine was also broken. Those are the only negatives and should easily be fixed. The food itself was excellent our waiter was great and the ambiance is very nice. The portions are Hugh so my wife and I and actually the 3 other couples we were with split their meals. They split everything for us and it was done with style. They should earn my 5th star next time we go back.

   First type of restaurant specific to Prime Rib in Walnut Creek. Overall a good experience, somewhat a little pricey from my point of view. The prime rib was a touch over medium rare from my normal liking, but still tasted good. Bread unavailable due to delivery not being received, molten cake was not molten - moreso fully cooked, drinks were really good and the service was top tier - Jason was a really nice, experienced waiter. Gave him some of my feedback and felt good knowing they're making an effort to continually improve. Would come back, especially that it's a walk away from home.

   The prime rib was very tender and probably the best I’ve had. The only vegetable option was creamed or sautéed spinach; I wish there was a different option like green beans or creamed corn for those that don’t Iike spinach. Bread with dinner would be a great addition; a bread plate was on the table when we were seated so it seems odd there wasn’t bread. I also would have liked a baked potato option. The au gratin potatoes were quite good.

   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.

   The good and the bad ... Our first time here and we were looking forward to the experience at this new restaurant in Walnut Creek. The ambience was awesome and romantic with the beautiful lighting and level of dimming, tables with the couches were classy and comfortable, the cocktails were divine, the shrimp cocktail impressive and tasteful with yummy cocktail sauce, the bread was stale and cold, the salad was wilty, the augratin potatoes were bland; however the mashed garlic potatoes were delicious. And...the main highlight the prime rib was salty, the au jus was spectacular as well as the creme brûlée. Honest experience. Overall it was good but not worth the price. Perhaps if the food was better quality we may have a different opinion.

   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.
