Six Eleven is an American bistro in Martinez, housed in what looks like a former mansion. The lemon chicken piccata was vibrant with lemon tartness, and the grilled, tender chicken breast cutlet satisfied with bursts of salt and sweetness from the capers and diced tomatoes. The linguine had a perfect al dente bite.
Fontina and parmesan are packed into the arancini rice balls, their boldness oozing out with each bite. Does creamy chipotle dip make sense to serve with them? Not authentically, but who cares when you’re eating arancini as light and fluffy as these?
The braised short rib pappardelle is served with a marinara sauce, Grana Padano cheese, and parsley. The pasta and sauce were beautifully flavored and prepared. Marinara and short rib can sometimes be too rich in combination for me, but I wanted more of this dish.
Six Eleven has had two “award-winning” cocktails on their specialty list when I’ve visited, though I’m unsure what award they’ve won. The Plant Mom is one, made with vodka, lemon juice, limoncello, cherry bitters, fresh mint, egg whites, and a rosemary-rose-lavender syrup. That’s a lot to pack into one drink!
And the Plant Mom does so masterfully. I’d give it an award of my own for each sip of its smooth, elegant blend that hinted of herbaceous and floral flavors.
On my second visit, the Pecan Sandra was an unusual choice for me to start a meal with, as it’s solidly on the dessert side of cocktails. But I wanted just one drink, and the ingredient list assured me this was one I couldn’t miss: brown butter fat-washed bourbon, lemon juice, pecan syrup, black walnut bitters, chocolate bitters, and candied pecans. It was as rich and luscious as you’d expect from those ingredients. And filling!

Finally made it to this spot yesterday and it was so good! The calamari was some of the best I’ve had in a long time. I also love the cozy elegance of the restaurant and the staff there were so kind. I will definitely be going back to try out more dishes!

We saw their outdoor seating overlooking the creek and figured this’d be a good dog friendly spot to eat lunch. Service was friendly but rather slow on the food. A decent tap beer list. My fish tacos were good and the tap beer cold and fresh.

The food is delicious I’ve had almost everything on the menu in the past year that they’ve been open. Two of my favorites are the chicken sandwich & the deep fried Oreo dessert. The staff are all so friendly & welcoming. The bartenders make the best cocktails & are always coming up with new yummy drinks to try. The location has an amazing outdoor patio perfect for the beautiful martinez weather along the creek.
Highly remind you giving it a try.

First time trying out this place and unfortunately I was disappointed. It wasn’t horrible but it was definitely overpriced for what we ordered. We ordered the ribeye steak ($36) the tomato burrata salad with chicken ($26) and the pecan bread pudding ($10). The ribeye steak was ordered as medium rare and it came out too well done. The tomato burrata salad was definitely not what I expected, I thought it was going to be a salad with lettuce and it was only tomatoes with avocado dressing and a few pieces of bread. Thankfully I added the chicken (which was actually pretty good) but overall i felt it was super overpriced for what I got. I really want to give this place the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe if I tried something different it could be good, but for what we paid and what we got, unfortunately I don’t think I will be going back.

Don’t go here if you’re black! Went for date night this past Saturday (3/7/26) to see a cover band. We were seated in the restaurant area and not one waiter, waitress, hell anyone, came over to take our order after almost 20mins. Despite almost all of them making eye contact with both my girlfriend and me. But hey, it is Martinez so I’m not surprised.

This restaurant is so charming and looks like a Victorian home. The restaurant is rustic looking with black linen table cloths. They have a beautiful bar and outside seating. I had Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti and it was delicious.

Service here was amazing and I already think it’s a major step up from the previous place. Food was good, and we liked our cocktails. Truffle fries were objectively too expensive at $12 for the portion size. I think we got the same amount of fries in our kids meal and it came with 2 sliders. I recommend going to Del Cielo for their fries which are an incredible value. Live music was great too. Overall I think this place has a lot of potential and can’t wait to come back.

We had the worst service ever. We have been waiting for 90 minutes (and counting) to receive our food. Our waitress is the manager and said because we had ordered appetizers it was fine that the table next to us had received their food, eaten, paid their bill and left while we are still waiting for our food.
