Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Orinda

I had the kale salad and it was delicious! We tried to sit inside but way too loud to visit amongst ourselves so we took a table on the enclosed patio which was very nice.

The food and service was fantastic. The ambiance is almost there, being situated in a beautiful hotel, but it could be better inside. The views are nice if there weather is cooperating and I’m sure dining outside gives the atmosphere I was hoping for.

Great service, food, and atmosphere! Loved the jazz band they were great!!

I went to Millennium with 2 friends to celebrate my birthday. It had been many years since I last ate there and my memory was that the food was less than average. I decided to give it another chance after I read that the restaurant had Michelin recognition. I'm so pleased that I did. The food was excellent and very interesting. We shared 3 appetizers and 1 main dish along with 1 dessert and a glass of wine. The wait staff was attentive and pleasant. The ambience was warm but the noise level was rather loud for 3 "older" women who wanted to talk to each other rather than scream at each other. Really that was my only complaint. I would definitely go back again.

Service is outstanding as well as the Branzino with vegetables. Waiter was friendly, courteous and quick on checking with us. Little waiting time to receive the meal. Ambience is intimate.
