Best Live Music Restaurants in Martinez

My wife and I love this place. The ambiance is great. The regular menu and specials are fantastic. They have a good wine list and full bar. Nice people working there too. Service is always top notch.

From the moment we walked into Elia, we knew we were in for a treat. The atmosphere is absolutely stunning—think glowing blue lights, natural decor, and walls adorned with beautifully spaced art pieces that felt like a gallery. Sitting across from my wife, I couldn’t have asked for a better view. The service was equally impressive. We were warmly greeted at the door and invited to enjoy a drink at the bar while waiting for our table amidst a lively crowd. Our server, Lilia, was outstanding. Despite being busy, she made sure we were well taken care of and never felt overlooked. Now, the food—wow. We started with the octopus, followed by the filet mignon and lobster paella. Each dish was cooked to perfection. The paella was packed with rich flavors and seafood, and the lobster tail was perfectly done. The filet mignon? Easily one of the best steaks I’ve had in Walnut Creek, perfectly seasoned and tender. To finish, we indulged in the chocolate cake, which was nothing short of spectacular—the best I’ve ever had. Elia gave us an amazing night filled with exceptional food, ambiance, and service. We’ll absolutely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. Thank you, Elia, for making our evening unforgettable!

Food was delicious (I had the coq au vin and my friend had the scallops). Service was great as well. I've been wanting to try this place forever and I will definitely be back.

The food was outstanding. Not many people in restaurant, but enough. Only one person serving the tables…NOT ENOUGH! He tried and was gracious but couldn’t meet the demand well. The music was extremely loud. All that said, we would absolutely return!

Wonderful service all around! Love coming here with big or small groups.
