10. Chili's Grill & Bar
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Edward B
I like Chili's food -- well done menu, tasty food. But, in general, staff training is poor. Certainly this was true for the Pleasanton location. Our waiter was friendly and attentive -- top marks in this area. But, when we were seated, they had to clear a table for us. Literally all the tables around us required clearing. It looked as though there had been a food fight in the area where we were seated -- napkins and food on the floor, tables askew -- a real mess. Of course this was a serious put-off for us, we went ahead and ordered. Eventually the messy tables were cleared, but no one made much of an effort. Then two members of staff dragged chairs across the tile floor to do some re-arranging. The noise was awful -- one of those chilling, screetching sounds. One wonders how anyone could do this in the presence of clients. One of my daughters wanted to leave because of the horrible sound.I hope someone from Chilis reads this. Good food alone is not enough to bring me back. Better training is a must.

Lazy Dog had a 30 minute wait, so we walked next door...and were so happy we did!The place inside is so nice, industrial...wood, metal...I ordered the smaller size Shrimp Louie...wedge salad with scrumptious dressing...olives, sundried tomato, avocado, cucumbers, and large grilled shrimp.Delicious..I was sorry I didn't order the large...which was $4 more...at $19.99.My husband ordered the Caesar with chicken and it was delicious as well. He gave me a piece of his well seasoned chicken and a piece of Romaine with yummy slightly different Caesar dressing.The manager asked us a couple of times how things were...and our server was attentive. Couldn't have wanted anything else.I would go back there in a heartbeat...

We have visited several times, but tonight something seemed off. My husband didnât think his burger was as good, not as tasty...and the pastrami on my sandwich seemed packaged....There was very little sauerkraut as well. Loved the blood orange cider!

First of all, our waitress was extremely patient...with 7 ladies.BUT...the food...1. My fish tacos consisted of a mahi mahi fish stick, so unlike the picture. I could not eat the cabbage, so asked for lettuce instead...I got a little. But the slaw mixture came with other ingredients I can't eat...but was not offered any salsa etc. until I requested it. I feel that the waitress should have asked what else I might want instead of my having to ask for it. Two tacos and some chips were $14. Is that a lot or am I the only one who thinks that it is?2. Presentation...my tacos were sort of thrown on the plate...the chips were all a mess...and one sauce dripped down the side of the little bowl. My sauce on one taco was only on half. I noticed some of the other plates...and they seemed the same. The restaurant was not busy, and the cook should have taken more time on the presentation.3. One lady's shrimp tacos..she asked to have the shrimp grilled without the cajun spices...when they arrived at the table, they were cajun spiced, and they were sent back. It took FOREVER!!! She was asked if she wanted french fries or a salad, comped.4. In her defense, she did give separate checks...which was a huge help for our group of 7.5. All in all, it was the second time I had been to BJ's in about 3 or so years, and now I know why. Nothing special...just food.

We ate here on a Saturday night. There weren't many people dining. We thought the menu selection was pretty good, the food good but nothing special. The service was very good, the wait person was attentive but not overly so. It's a nice restaurant. I'd try it again.

Easy place to locate in a good neighborhood.

Coco Cabana offers a unique dining experience inspired by the majestic flavors of all Latin American countries. At Coco Cabana, you can expect delectable tapas and dishes with modern latin heat and flavor and exciting cocktails galore.
Reviewed By Kel M
Coco Cabana has a nice atmosphere, the interior is fairly dark. There is a big bar and ample seating in the dining area. I have visited twice and both times the service has been outstanding. The food is average, but highly priced. We shared from the tapas menu, with chicken tacos, corn, dip, and sliders. Nothing to write home about, but not bad either.

Reviewed By Daryl C
The Hopyard has a great selection of rotating beers. On Tuesdays, they usually features a select brewery. Sports are always on the televisions. And the dart boards are usually open. The food is mixed. Some of the items, such as the burgers and fried chicken (special) are solid. Some of the salads are not.

Went into this restaurant three times for dinner. I was greeted very enthusiastically by the host and seated immediately. My waitress, Bailey, Kristina, and Asian were terrific; their service was excellent. Had the crab dip and a rack of ribs one nightWay more than I could eat. I had the burgers the last two night. Very tasty. Ordered beers which came in a cold canning jar excellent. Everything was so good. I would obviously come here again!!!

Very fun and happening place. In the shopping center by the Dublin IMAX and BART station. Great food and ambiance. Pets welcome on the cozy patio (they even have a doggie menu)We stopped to wait out traffic and chowed down on the flat iron steak. Amazing! Topped with garlic butter and plated with deliciously seasoned vegetables and au gratin potatoes. My partner garnished her steak with a side of jalapeños for some extra zip. To. Die. For. Great service and ambiance. Finished with some yummy banana pudding. Aaaahhh
