My husnand and I visited Wence's Restuarant for the first time on 12/7. The food was good and definitely a good choice if you like seaford (they have an oyster bar). A good atmosphere. The inside was nice with slightly modern decor which was surprising given the location. The restuarant is located in what appears to be a strip mall type of location. Nonetheless the meal and the service was good.

Dinner was delicious, but the noise level was deafening! I felt like I was eating in a playpen! I usually go there for lunch and sit outside but last night we had dinner inside. It was so noisy. I have no idea how they can fix that, but it was not a pleasant experience. I'll stick to lunch from now on

Found this neighborhood restaurant while traveling through Pleasant Hill. Conveniently located not far from 680. Food was perfectly done and the restaurant was busy with other people enjoying the food. Definitely a worthwhile place to visit.

Wence’s is a great restaurant with good food. I have gone a handful of times with no issues. My only issue the last time I went was that I felt they pushed take home boxes while we were still eating (and I had just gotten my glass of wine). Servers deal with a lot but it wasn’t that crowded. I will still go again.

Went inside for Happy Hour as it was raining. Mussels were excellent as were the fish tacos. We are happy when Edgar is our server!
