Best Lunch Restaurants in Hayward

We always enjoy our dining experience at LB Steak San Ramon. Bartender Tim makes excellent cocktails and is always welcoming and friendly as well as extremely knowledgeable after decades in his bar craft. Our head server Brett is always on top of everything - he knows his customers and is always there to address / answer questions, concerns and even things we didn't know he saw! Great guy and his excellent service adds to the restaurant visit. He knows his food and menu well - I wanted to order the Sakura Pork Chop, but recalled it was just slightly drier last time than when I first had it, and he knew already what my concern was. The kitchen had already made that correction in the past by sous vide-ing the chops with more liquid and that keeps them very juicy and tender and he was right! We enjoyed the chops, the boneless ribeye, and a lovely shrimp and crab louis. We also chose the lobster and pork belly macaroni and cheese which was tasty and rich, but for $24 more than the regular macaroni and cheese, we only had some tiny shreds of lobster and small 1/4" flakes of pork belly. Overall, another very happy experience at the LB!

We love this restaurant. Typically I like to sit in the raised alcove with Italian painted scenes on the wall. However with my husband’s hearing deficit, there is a lot of noise…so we sit in the other areas. The food is great. I consistently choose the calamari piccata, love the capers! We had appetizers of beef carpaccio and fried calamari, along with a lovely wedge salad. Excellent food, great service at reasonable price! The only reason I gave it 4 stars on the food was my husband ordered the beef special, which the waiter said “thin strips of beef wrapped with prosciutto and mushrooms, instead it was ground beef, and more like a meatloaf..disappointing to my husband…

Had to deal with a fire alarm so I felt bad but why is all employees behind the bar when there is so many dirty tables …. When we sat the table was not set up for us yet

brenda, our server was very nice! we had a good time! thanks
