Aside from the tables with birthdays, this restaurant is a moderately quiet and relaxing stop. The staff is wonderfully helpful, the food is absolutely delicious and fresh and the overall vibe gives the perfect setting for celebration with friends and family. I enjoyed an exquisite birthday dinner and (a free birthday special) dessert last night. The singing was so fun and our waiter was attentive all night. I will definitely be returning to this location.

We hadn't been to Rooftop since before covid and were totally wowed. Of course, where else would you want to be on a warm, sunny winter day but perched atop Walnut Creek looking on Mt. Diablo and the surrounding hills. We arrived for lunch and all three of us loved our meals -- the dumpling starter was fantastic, and everyone loved their lunch (shrimp tacos, pappardelle/caesar, salmon/caesar). Our server was fantastic, the support staff attentive, the vibe was chill and the music great. Who could ask for anything more. Rooftop is now at the top of our WC dining list.
