Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Pleasant Hill

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.

We reserved on open table and were promptly seated on arrival. The restaurant is attractive and tables well spaced. Lots of screens immediately identify it's sports bar character, without excess noise. We have modest appetites and split an appetizer and entree, and could not quite finish either. Tasty margaritas complimented the very well prepared and seasoned the Brussel Sprout appetizer. The huge full slab of meaty ribs were perfectly smoked and cooked with a "just right" bit of crispy edges. The side of sweet potato casserole was of generous size and with a hint of seasonings. The cornbread side was our only disappointment. Good appearance and decent texture, but absolutely no flavor. Purr order was taken promptly, and delivery of food and drinks was very quick, perhaps a bit too quick on there entree, which arrived immediately after the entree hurt the table. It got there before the Margarita. During the meal we were asked by all the people dropping off food or drink if everything was good, but after we finished it was quite awhile before our server wandered over to ask about dessert. Prices are a bit high, but are justified by the ambiance, quality and portion sizes. We will return.

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.
