Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Pleasant Hill

Fantastic meal and drinks. Love the whiskey selection.

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.

What a gem of a family restaurant! My husband and I went here before going to a play at the SF Playhouse. The owner served us at the bar. He was so gracious, friendly and attentive. His family members were equally welcoming and lovely. I consider myself to be a bit of a Greek food snob. My mom was from Greece originally and I travel there often. I am always looking for good Greek food in the States. The Parthenon exceeded my expectations. Every dish was outstanding. It’s rare to find a kebab that is not too dry. The lamb kebab was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The Pastitsio was delicious and fresh. The tzatziki was great and their own house dipping sauce for pita was even better. If you go, best to go on the early side or make a reservation as this place has been discovered and gets packed. We were there when they opened at 5 because of the timing of our play. By a little after 6 they were already busy. We will definitely be returning!

Check this place out if you're in Point Richmond. It's a neighborhood treasure. Old school vibe, but classy.

The house made ravioli was the best ever. The veal was good as well.
