We went to La Veranda on Sunday, June 15 2025 for a father’s day brunch.
First a word about Clayton CA. This is an older town in the east bay, next to Concord and Walnut Creek. This is a town that hung on tenaciously to its small town charm and looks very much the way it did fifty years ago. They still have some wooden sidewalks, a saloon or two, a lovely tree shaded park where they hold small summer concerts. It has a small central downtown and feels very much like the old fashioned small town that it is. People are friendly and relaxed; traffic has been cleverly engineered out. This restaurant with its wooden entry steps fits right in. It has a veranda with outdoor tables along the side of the restaurant as well as a casual covered patio for outdoor dining.
Upon entering we could see a big square dining room to our right and to our left was the other smaller rectangular dining room. We were greeted promptly and cordially and taken to our table in the room to our left. It was filled with black tables and chairs, the wall were tan and the ceiling tiles were a pleasant burnt red. The restaurant is surrounded by trees and bushes so the view from the many windows made us feel as though we were in an arboretum. The table was neatly set with two forks; a butter knife and side plate per seat as well as perfectly folded white linen pyramid napkin folds. Very quickly an attendant arrived to get us waters, coffee or tea. Shortly after that, our waiter Yousef appeared and took our orders. We had some substitutions and he took it all in stride. We ordered three eggs benedicts and food appeared in a very short time. The eggs were perfectly poached with firm whites and a hint of white vinegar and the yolks were perfectly runny. The muffins underneath were lightly toasted and easy to cut with a butter knife. I have been making fresh hollandaise for years in restaurants and at home and I am always suspicious of canned or powdered some restaurants resort to but this was definitely fresh and the real deal. The sauce was topped with a dusting of paprika and presentation was perfect. Yousef was an efficient and quick waiter, very professional. As is always a challenge my wife takes on we eventually got a big smile out of him.
Overall I got the impression this was a tightly run restaurant that had taken pains to see to all the important touches. It was bright, sunny, and clean and the staff was friendly and attentive. I would not hesitate to go back for dinner and plan to.

Every single meal and exchange I’ve had at La Veranda restaurant has been absolutely delicious and fresh with attentive service. My family and I enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal here this year then a leisurely walk along the towns many trails, a guest had even galloped with his horse to the restaurant. Gotta love Clayton Valley’s downtown.

Quaint little restaurant with a nice vibe. Second time here, good food both times. Nice wine list. Gets very busy on weekends.
A little outdoor seating available on porch.
Waiter was friendly, but not very attentive. Lots of customers and regulars to tend to it appeared.
Good place for date night or getting together with friends. Nice ambiance.

Waiter was new but he did fantastic and if he didn’t know the answer to our questions he asked someone for help.
3 different pizza for 3 different people. We ended all sharing to try something new and as always food was amazing, drinks were great. If you haven’t tried this place…… you need to.

I came down for the celebration of life for my good buddy Skip Burns. After driving 3.5 hours, the atmosphere, service and especially the food was more than welcome. Next time I come to the Bay I will make a point of stopping in to grab some grub.

Stopped in for a first time lunch here. One of us ordered a crab Louie. The crab was not fresh and had a very funny taste. One of us had a small house salad. It was a plate of greens (sticks and weeds) thrown on a plate with nothing else, not even one cherry tomatoe. The crab Louie was gladly exchanged for another food choice no questions asked. Not sure why they served this to their customer to begin with knowing the crab was not fresh. The crab was gray in color. We brought along a guest which was their first time experiencing this establishment and they unfortunately are the one that ended up with the unpleasant crab Louie. Was very disappointed and very embarrassed that we suggested this place.. We had many other restaurant choices that we could have gone to that day. Our choice for this day turned out to be the wrong choice.

Nick and his staff are awesome; great ambiance indoors and lovely outside dining options. Love their nightly happy hours with excellent food and full cocktail menu at a very reasonable price– and quite ample servings of both. We love it!

I ordered a Dungeness Crab Louie Salad and Smoked Salmon with Goat Cheese appetizer. They were both tasty, fresh, and packed perfectly in their take out containers. The gentleman who took my order was friendly and quick to answer my questions about the menu.

I wanted to love this place, but the food was really bad. I ordered the petrale sole with polenta and veggies. The fish tasted like it was cooked in egg and had the strangest texture. My husband ordered a pasta dish and it had a few too many cloves of garlic for it to be enjoyable. When we got the bill, I was even more disappointed at how much it was per person.
The redeeming quality was the service. Our waiter was incredibly friendly, responsive, and had great humor.
