Sabio on Main, a Michelin-recognized contemporary Californian restaurant, is nestled in historic downtown Pleasanton, California. The interior is beautifully decorated, and the restaurant boasts an impressive wine selection along with full bar service.
We arrived for dinner and were seated on the outdoor patio. The setting was pleasant and private, situated next to the sidewalk but covered. Guests can choose between an à la carte menu or a Prix-Fixe Dinner. We opted for the 4 Course Prix-Fixe Dinner.
For starters, I had the Cauliflower Gruyere Soup, which was delightful with a hint of chili oil.
The pasta course featured Fennel Sausage Risotto, which was both flavorful and satisfying.
My entrée was the Brandt Beef Prime Flat Iron Steak, cooked to a perfect medium-rare. While it wasn’t as tender as I had hoped, it was still enjoyable.
For dessert, I had a slice of pie, which was quite good.
I also like the mocktail, they have some on the menu. I went home full and still need to get some leftover to go.
Overall, it was a delightful dinner experience, enhanced by the excellent service we received.
Some issue with the heating as they cannot control the temperature so sometimes it was very warm.

The food at Sabio on Main was very good — flavorful and nicely presented. However, it took a long time for our food to be served after we placed the order. We didn’t have to wait for a table, but the only seating option was at the bar. Overall, we enjoyed the meal, but service was quite slow. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time for a better dining experienc

Excellent service. Easy 5 stars there. Not rushed.Atmosphere can be a bit noisy, but there are different areas around the restaurant.
Great food overall. Miso Cod, Flat Iron Steak, Duck Config Cassoulet. I’d skip the steak especially at the price. Definitely make note of allergies to the waiter when you order. While the menu is well labeled, they still put a wheat “crunch” on my wife’s dish despite it not being labeled as having wheat and not listed in the ingredients. Fortunately they were able to make a quick correction, but don’t just go off the menu – tell them. Wine is excellent, but they need to get some $10-12 glasses on the menu and not just $20+ (and only $70+ bottles, though the markup wasn’t bad on local wines). And $14 cocktails. Maybe they’re targeting a clientele that doesn’t mind the price, but it makes me hesitate to become a regular.

Happy Hour osyters were disappointing. No flesh at all, just scraps of skin. Thought its just a bad batch, ordered another half a dozen. Equally bad. *see closeup photo. Main course for dinner is awesonely delicious though. Just skip happy hour

We went to Sabio for brunch a few weeks back and we were the only table there. The server was not rude but I feel like he was more interested in resting that attending to us. We had to wait a while before we got his attention and when we had questions about the menu, didn’t seem thrilled answering them. The food was great though.

Got the a la carte dinner menu here. The prices are surprisingly good for the quality, and the dishes are unique and have depth. The duck breast had crispy skin, the use of farro grain gave the dish an nice texture. Our favorite was the amarreto chocolate and mint tart. It tasted like a super deluxe York chocolate. The interior is very beautiful.

My husband and I wanted to try something different but have a course sit down for our 15 year anniversary. When searching Sabio popped up, so I scheduled reservations. I followed up with an email just to let them know what we were celebrating. To my surprise I was emailed back right away, and was given a few options on extras to celebrate. Today 7/29 was our reservations, and we were not disappointed. The good was exceptional in the 5 course. My husband whom does not care for duck loved it. I cannot even decide what was the best as all of it was scrumptious. We love the decor and the setting of the dinning room. From the hostess, to our server Ruben, and the support staff we had the best service we have ever had. Me being a manager of customer service I cannot express what it is like to receive exceptional service. Thank you to all the staff at Sabio.

What an awesome experience!!! Had my birthday dinner and would highly recommend it! They even had a card wishing me a happy bday. Our server Ruben was fantastic and attentive but not overly there, he knew exactly when to come.
We had the 5 course meal each and I have to say that there was more food than we expected. We truly loved 4 courses, starter , appetizer , entree and dessert . The pasta dish left us confused since the flavor profile was there but the texture was not appealing. We also received a surprise strawberry gazpacho and just wow . The photos do not give it justice.

Excellent food and great place in the middle of Pleasanton.
We ordered the chips with the dip, which was great (especially the dip). My wife ordered the spiked lassi, which initially was too cardamomy, but our host at the restaurant made one more with more citrus, which according to my wife was delicious. I got traditional gin and tonic, which was excellent.
For entree, our kid got the butter pasta, which was buttery and our kid cleaned his plate without any trouble. I got the lamb risotto, which was exceptional, after a long time I had such a well made risotto. My wife got the pumpkin ravioli, which was creamy and buttery and comes with pomegranate seeds, which gives a nice crunch.
For desert, we go the doughnuts, which was surprisingly the best dish that we tried. Freshly made doughnuts, with saucy apple in the middle, along with whipped cream.
Altogether, amazing place and highly recommended for family dinner.

Sabio on Main provides three course and five course prix fixe meals, and I was craving a nice night out. My husband had the peaches and cream donuts with almond sugar, stewed peaches, and peach pit bavarois, which I had one bite of that was enough to declare it possibly the best of the dishes of the evening. But they were all quite good.
We both had the roasted chicken breast with apricot molasses glaze, grits, collards, and watermelon rind relish for our main courses. Those were some hefty chicken breasts! Closer to half chickens really. The relish reminded me of southern chow chow, and left a similar impression of forgettable flavor, which really, how much flavor do we expect from watermelon rind? Loved the crispiness of the chicken skin and the collards were perfectly done for my taste.
My chef’s gin and tonic was refreshing with St. George Botanivore, cucumber, lime, juniper, and lemon twist.
The Green Bee Farm tomato salad was delicious, especially the gorgonzola crema and the flecks of black pepper from the walnuts in combination with the pluots.
Finally, my own dessert: the Vahlrona chocolate flan with toasted marshmallow meringue and graham crackle streusel. This is one of the few s’mores desserts that really got the concept right with the toastiness of that meringue and the bold chocolate flavor.
