Best Authentic Restaurants in Orinda

Daughter Thai is always good. I think they have updated their menu with new, innovative items (Thai tea/lemonade, and lots of new alcohollic bevvies) so it is even more interesting.

Lovely dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday. We sat out on the outdoor patio which was nice and cozy despite the chilly weather that evening. Our server Arlene was friendly and gracious, providing the right level of attentiveness and interaction. The food was delicious as well. I love a good moules frites and the mussels were nice and plump and the fries were perfectly salted. It appeared there were other parties also celebrating birthdays the same night so if you are looking to have a good meal in a nice atmosphere, Reve Bistro is a great choice.

there were 5 persons for this lunch. The menu provides a ful variety of interesting Italian cuisine . The cocktail menu is also very eclectic and the served drinks are superb. The wine list has a great selection of wine .Our service was impeccable and our server Vito was congenial affable , knowledgeable, and attentive. Our food was made and served to order and was delicious. The desserts and coffees were very good and the prportions were just right after a full delicious meal.

Your prototypical neighborhood restaurant and bar that’s achieved something of a landmark status over the years (thus, attracting patrons and actual tourists from greater distances) for serving hearty meals, providing warm attentive service (by waitstaff, some of who have decades of tenure) and by offering a level of conviviality, bonhomie and ambience that makes you feel as if you’re dining with family and friends. Please forgive the evident bias in my review. I’ve been a proud “member” of The Casa (as it’s known by we locals) Family since 1971.

My husband and I had a wonderful post-movie dinner at La Piazza! The atmosphere was a pleasant, comfortable neighborhood vibe with a warming fire in the pizza oven. Not too noisy, and the food was delicious. My generously poured glass of Willamette Valley pinot noir was outstanding and only cost $13, a bargain these days! Our meals were also delicious and abundant, and served with great care and timeliness. All in all, a lovely experience, and we will go back multiple times!
