Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Martinez

Fantastic experience and food! The service was excellent and the background music was a great.

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.

Our dinner experience was superb. Our only complaint was the noise level which was a problem considering we were 6 people with three having hearing issues. Once I raised the question of noise the maître d tried to help us, but there were no tables available. My next visit with a group will be asking for a quieter place to sit. Our friends all loved their dinners. Two of us had an exceptional linguine with sea food. Our dish had plenty of shrimp, scallops, clams and muscles (all sweet and fresh) with baked cloves of garlic and cherry tomatoes making up the sauce. My husband had the bolognese in egg noodles. Delicious. The linguine, like all of their pastas are made in house, making all of the pastas noteworthy. My dish was so delectable that I had to push the dish away before I devoured it all. It was enough for two people to share especially with a salad which were quite large. Two friends had the barramundi fish dinner on Il Fornaio specials menu. They raved about it. My other friend had a large salad with broiled large shrimp and a vegetable soup. Last, but not least, the attention of our wait staff was excellent. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and unobtrusive. The atmosphere is beautiful and elegant and we intend to go back next week to celebrate our 44th anniversary. Thank you for a truly wonderful meal.

Everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the petrale sole, my husband had the fish and chips, our friends had Mahi Mahi tacos, and clams and chips.

We had a reservation for the speakeasy and the service, food, and drinks were excellent. The speakeasy is a small intimate area in the back of the restaurant with its own bar and a great ambiance. 10/10 we will be back.
