Best Lunch Restaurants in Pleasant Hill

Amazing Experience! Had an incredible time at Benihana Concord. The staff was kind, the server was attentive, and the cook was both entertaining and skilled. Excellent food and service—I’ll definitely be back!

Really love this place in the summer… but it was still really nice for a winter birthday celebration. Vibe and drinks were on point… first time having something other than starters and the entree was delicious.

We love the food and enjoyed great meals today at lunch. I got there early so I could ask the hostess to please note my grand daughter was home from college and it is her birthday. She said she would inform our server….. I knew my grand daughter would choose a chocolate dessert, which she did + her Mum and I also enjoyed our desserts. GREAT disappointment when 3 desserts arrived NO candle !!!!! Of course I didn’t make a fuss , however I wanted to !! The special moment was over and I left your restaurant feeling let down. We all love coming to True Food Kitchen in Walnut Crerk CA because we love the food and I knew when I told our grand daughter that’s where we would be having lunch….. she was, as expected …. excited. Please get through to your hostesses that some requests mean a great deal and they need to follow through !!! Antoinette ☹️

The Cooperage was very busy when we arrived with many waiting for tables. We were seated promptly for our reservation and the noise level was pretty high with the restaurant full and the pull-down doors closed due to weather. Service was friendly but there were gaps in attention at times. We were not in a hurry, but our entrée orders was not taken until after we had finished eating our appetizers and it took a long time for our entrees to arrive compared to tables around ours. I am sure the busy night with a full house was a factor. Food was great, appetizers tuna tartare and brussels sprouts, entrees steak frites, fried chicken, ahi sandwich, and short ribs. The group enjoyed craft cocktails, wine and draft beer. Look forward to our next visit.

Beautiful patio dining, incredible staff. Manager super kind and professional. Our waiter Jean ? From Brazil was wonderful. Very good waiter, fun to talk to and very attentive. Bloody Mary was spicy and delicious. The food was so good. Eggs Benedict very good, loved it on the homemade biscuits, and with bacon a good touch. The side roasted potatoes and fresh fruit just kept on giving. Our daughter had the breakfast burrito, she loved it and she is picky. My husband enjoyed some ribs (as a side, he always has to try the ribs everywhere) and also had the stuffed Meyer lemon ricotta cheese pancakes, he said it all was delicious. I did have a bite of the pancakes and they were exceptional. Excellent experience. My husband and daughter had been in twice before and brought me to experience it too. We will be back so worth the time and money.
