I visited to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and arrived about five minutes early for our reservation. Unfortunately, we were informed that due to traffic delays, our table would be pushed back by 45 minutes. While the delayed start was a bit disappointing, the service at the bar was excellent as we enjoyed a drink while we waited. Overall, it turned into a pleasant experience thanks to the attentive staff and great atmosphere.

The food was great. The service was great. But you've got to do something about the bathrooms. This is the third time I've eaten there with a friend, the third time my friend had to use the bathroom (long drive home), and the third time it's been worse than disgusting. This time she found clogged toilets, one toilet smeared with menstrual blood, and flushing mechanisms that don't work. I have to wonder if the kitchen is as filthy as the bathroom. It's hard to reconcile this situation with the "healthy" reputation of TFK. Not sure what else to say as this is the third time I've commented on this. I've gotten 2 previous messages promising to address. And you are clearly unwilling to do anything to rectify the situation.

Chef Staffan Terje strives to cook the finest food reflecting the Italian regions of Piemonte and Liguria. Handcrafted, house-made salumi, prosciutto and other charcuterie are not to be missed. Seasonal pastas, a tradition in Piemonte, range from the traditional ravioli to the more exotic agnolotti.

San Ramon

About the restaurant

Our menu features USDA Choice, Midwestern, Corn Fed Beef, fresh seafood, fresh pasta, spectacular soups and salads and daily "blue plate" specials. Prime Rib is our specialty.
We are "the local meeting place" for business and social events in the San Ramon Valley. It is a place where generation after generation of families has come to meet friends and family. It is a place where newcomers to the valley soon become old friends.
The Brass Door, formerly known as the 8/5 Club, was established by Howard Schlesinger in 1946. It was originally a six-stool bar and 20-person dining facility. Schlesinger's son, Mickey, and his partner Dick Basso bought the club in 1955. Soon after, they renamed the club The Brass Door. Over the years, the partners expanded the facility to include a 20-stool bar, 50-seater cocktail lounge and a dining area for 160 guests. Following a brief closure in 1994 due to a fire, the restaurant was rebuilt from its original location.

A while back, I cannot book reservation on Open Table app the time we wanted but I still booked at a later time. When I called the restaurant directly, the hostess was able to adjust the reservation to the time we wanted. We arrived to our reservation at 12:30 pm today. The hostess Daria was so accommodating when I asked to change our table to a better view of the water. The server was nice explaining the good red wine on the menu according to my liking. I ordered the recommended Meiomi red wine. It was light to my taste which was good. My friends got white wine and Irish coffee. For starters we ordered the Horseradish Deviled Eggs with Bacon and tasted good. My friends ordered the same Crab Cake Benedict and Classic Eggs Benedict. I got the Pan Seared Jumbo Sea Scallops over the risotto. The whole food was delicious. The interior ambiance was beautiful. The service was superb. A few times I visited the restaurant in the past and I don’t mind returning for occasions or just to hang out with girl friends. I recommend The Trident restaurant even it’s a drive to Sausalito from different angles of places.
