“ It's a nice little place on Main St. with a cozy atmosphere. We came here to have lunch on the weekend. The food tasted great except my pastrami sandwich did not come with any of the promised housemade sauerkraut. Perhaps they had run out of it that day, I don't know. I wish they had let me know though so I could have changed my order. ”

“ Right in the middle of Downtown Pleasanton, it is at a perfect location for a dinner during the holidays. The service was great and the staff was welcoming. They easily accommodated a group of 10 for a reservation on a Thursday evening, but I am sure on a busy weekend it would be hard to get in without a reservation as it is a smaller space. The appetizers were yummy and a wide variety. Warm artichoke bruschetta and tempura shrimps were my favorite. The bruschetta was the perfect amount of flavoring and texture was not runny, the arugula and cherry tomatoes were a good touch to add a balance. The tempura shrimp was crunchy and not the usual japanese style, which made it unique and a good twist. My main meal was the ribeye steak and I ordered medium rare and unfortunately, my plate was very undercooked. A colleague of mine also had the same order and hers looked just right. The staff was very understanding and took my order back, it did get cooked a little more but still very rare. For dessert, ferrero rocher chocolate cake was decent, but more of a chocolate mousse cake. The key lime pie was very tart. The drinks we ordered were peach violette gin sour and pompei martini, both of which were unique and a solid addition to the entire meal. Great environment and prime location. Food was good and if I do go back I definitely want to try the chicken risotto ”

“ Great service, tasty cocktails and the food is consistent. My go-to on Main Street that checks all my boxes. Full Bar Friendly & Kind Staff Apps Espresso Dessert ”

“ Tr-Valley Bistro is a small restaurant with a large menu. I saw a like on one of my photos and decided I must revisit the restaurant. It was hard to choose an entrée from the list. In fact we customized their meat omelet by changing cheese and protein and adding tomatoes. The omelet was nicely flavored and came eith fruit and potatoes. We split both the omelet and an apple salad with added chicken. The large chicken breast was a nice touch. All items were nicely prepared and flavorful. The restaurant has dark walls, dark ceiling and dark floors. This can make for old-dark romantic without having white linens or candles. Service was friendly, helpful and responsive. We recommend giving Tri-Valley Bistro a try. ”

“ I came here thinking this brunch spot would be great due to the reviews. I have passed by this place many times and it looked like people were enjoying themselves. The restaurant was packed and had a cute atmosphere. I appreciate the nice service There is even outside patio seating for people watching. You can't go wrong with complimentary bread, which was a nice for them to offer while waiting for my food. While the menu offered typical items you would see at a standard American diner, I found the brunch menu to be mediocre. The food was okay, but I was not a fan of the presentation of other dishes. I decided to settle for the Crunchy French toast. I thought I'd give it a 4/5 because it was something different from the menu. I liked the whipped mascarpone cheese topping with fruit on the side. Overall, delicious and crunchy hence the name. The combination between cereal and French toast is genius. Probably better than standard French toast I have had. ”

“ Came here on a Saturday because my husband was craving french toast. We walked in with no reservations but were able to be seated and served quickly. Bread and butter is complimentary, bread was simple but it was soft and warm. For our appetizer we ordered arancini, they were crispy outside and creamy and rich inside. I would order again. I ordered bacon hash with over easy eggs and my husband had the french toast. My bacon hash tastes how you would expect, lots of big pieces of bacon and sausages too! The french toast was very crunchy-it reminded me of cinnamon toast crunch cereal (yum!). ”

“ We casually stumbled upon this place after our evening stroll down candy cane lane which was just around the corner of main Street. We chose this after viewing their menu as we passed by. This is our first time eating out at a restaurant since having our first kid. And there was plenty of patio seating and room for our stroller. The twinkly Christmas lights and space heaters were really adding to the holiday spirit. We ordered the farro salad and fettuccine Alfredo to share. The salad was good. Fresh. The Alfredo was good too. It wasn't overly savory or too cheesy and heavy like most chain restaurant pastas might taste like. Also the shrimp/prawns were cooked perfectly and VERY generous which I appreciated. I also had a Shirley temple. I just got so used to not drinking alcohol anymore since before trying getting pregnant. And they used the good cherries, NOT the maraschinos. Would definitely come back. The food was good . The prices were fair. The wait staff was very attentive and checked up on us a few times even when we were the only guests eating outside on the patio. The staff even changed the space heater gas tank for us which helped keep us to stay warm because it WAS chilly outside. ”
