**1/5 stars**
What should have been a special New Year’s Eve dinner turned into a frustrating experience from start to finish.
Our waiter rushed us through the entire meal, making it impossible to enjoy what was supposed to be a celebratory evening. The menu was extremely limited and uninspired—nothing felt remotely special for NYE.
The real kicker? A mandatory 20% gratuity that was never disclosed upfront, charged to our table of just two people. When the bill came, that surprise felt like insult added to injury.
My expensive ribeye was a disaster—riddled with thick, inedible fat and connective tissue. My guest had to leave half of it on the plate because it was simply too chewy to eat. For the price point, this was completely unacceptable.
To top it all off, they seated us in such a poorly chosen spot that I didn’t realize until we left that my jacket had been getting soaked by rain the entire time.
Rooftop should stick to what they do best: being a casual bar serving beers and calamari fritti. They’re clearly not equipped to handle fine dining or special occasions. Save your money and celebrate elsewhere. even one floor down where Teleferic Restaurant is.
The cocktails are well-crafted and creative, and the food is surprisingly great for a rooftop bar. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the vibe is always upbeat without feeling overwhelming.
If you’re looking for a place with great energy, solid food, and a beautiful setting, this is definitely a go-to spot in Walnut Creek.
The crispy duck was a standout — perfectly cooked with a golden, crisp skin and juicy, flavorful meat. It struck that rare balance of texture and taste that you don’t find often. The spicy rigatoni was another hit — rich
I will only note that while they have heaters for the balcony seats, I personally didn’t feel the heaters at all, today in particular was windy ( I regretted not bringing a sweater) and of course the temperature outside is at no fault to the restaurant, just something for future patron to keep in mind,not you get cold easily like me, just bring a sweater for just in case even if you end up not needing it.
But everything was great despite the chilly air, we’ll hopefully come back in the future!
This restaurant transcends the ordinary, offering a truly delightful culinary journey evident in every dish and drink.
Shrimp Vodka Rigatoni: Prepare for an explosion of flavor. The rigatoni, generously coated in a velvety, rich vodka sauce, provides the perfect canvas for the sweet and succulent shrimp. Each bite is a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that will leave you craving more.
Crispy Fried Cauliflower: This isn’t your average vegetable side. The Fried Cauliflower achieves a perfect golden crispness, delivering a satisfying crunch with every mouthful. Served alongside a thoughtfully crafted dipping sauce and vibrant fresh herbs, it’s a flavorful and surprisingly addictive dish.
Braised Short Rib Masterpiece: The Short Rib is not just a dish; it’s a visual and gustatory experience. The slow-braised meat, boasting a deep, glossy glaze, promises fork-tender perfection. Accompanied by creamy mashed potatoes and crisp-tender green beans, it’s a comforting yet elegant plate.
Mule: Quench your thirst with the Mule, a vibrant and refreshing cocktail that looks as good as it tastes. The bright hues and thoughtful garnish of an orange slice hint at the tropical flavors waiting to tantalize your senses. Though I felt the alcohol content was on the lower side.
Beyond the exceptional taste, this restaurant clearly values the art of presentation. Each dish is thoughtfully composed, demonstrating a commitment to creating a memorable dining experience for every guest. With a diverse menu showcasing both classic favorites and innovative creations, there’s undoubtedly something to delight every palate.
