Best Restaurants for Groups in Castro Valley

What a perfect place to celebrate with a friend. The traditional consommé and popover with strawberry butter are amazing. The caviar service is ridiculous. Yummylicious chestnut soup. And a date cake for dessert that felt like Christmas had already come around again. I LOVED our waiter Charlie.

I loved the gluten-free, caraway crackers, which are very crisp and thin with great flavor. We were impressed with the mushroom and hemp seed paté with rice crackers. The short ribs were the best part of the meal for me. I don’t remember last time, but this time the galangal pork strips seemed a bit dry. Maybe too lean. I only had a little bit of the pork belly, the leaner part. It seemed overdone this time around, or maybe I should’ve had a fattier piece. I remember loving the pork belly last time, so I would try those again. The small plates are really unique and fun. I’ll come back to keep trying things! This was our 3rd visit.

Amazing dining experience for my husband's birthday. Daria was our server and was excellent. We loved her suggestions on the menu as well. We enjoyed the octopus (best I've ever had), lamb meatballs, Gigantes, Smelt, and the goat stew to finish. We were absolutely stuffed and definitely slept like babies! Everything was stunning. I've heard such wonderful things before coming here, and they had exceeded my expectations.

We have been going to this restaurant for years and we are never disappointed, the staff is amazing and the food is wonderful!!!

The waiter was attentive and very efficient. The food was fantastic. We had a great time we’re not rushed, and it was Christmas Eve.
