And like always, this place is just magnificent.  the staff is just so kind and amiable, and you feel so welcomed. The food is outstanding! Everything about this place is perfection! I cannot wait to go back for another memorable experience!More infoThe Park Bistro & BarPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Lafayette•4.3
- JJennaSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoFood was so good and everyone was so nice! I asked for a booth and they adjusted my reso without question and did all they could to accommodate. Only "issue" was that at times it did get a tad bit too loud (maybe due to where we were sitting, no carpet on the floor in the section I was sitting in), but that's also what made the ambiance so fun and exciting! So really no complains. I would def go back again. PS - The Cod and the Duck were super yummy! They also have homemade Kombucha!More infoRevival Bar+KitchenPrice: Expensive• Californian• Berkeley•4.4

- TTomVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •25 reviews4.0Dined on 15 Feb 2025Glad to be able to get a Valentine's Day reservation on fairly short notice. The service was friendly and welcoming. It was a busy night, and the server was honest about our not having time for dessert if we wanted to make our show. Too bad, because the desserts looked yummy and they have a great selection of after-dinner liqueurs (along with a great wine list). We had a salad and two entrees. Both were well conceived and presented. The salmon was cooked a little more than I requested but was still tasty. Overall a lovely Valentine's Day dinner!More infoShelby's OrindaPrice: Moderate• Contemporary European• Orinda•4.6
