Gather Walnut Creek

We went during the month they were promoting chocolates. Ordered the quail appetizer from their special chocolate menu. The quail was delicious and tender. So were the fig sections and greens that came with it. For entree, we had the Ahi tuna and Mustard-glazed pork chop. They were pretty good too. We expected the heirloom tomatoes to taste great but somehow the tomatoes didn't taste any different from the regular store bought ones. We ordered the chocolate cupcake with vanilla ice cream for the 3-year-old. She ate the whole thing up without help. Off the special menu, we ordered the Chocolate ganache (made with Scharffen Berger chocolates) with Grand Marnier sauce. What can I say? If you love chocolate, you'll definitely love this. more

After a weekend with my out of town family in Yosemite, we decided to eat here before heading to the airport. We had looked at the menu for this restaurant while walking in down town Walnut Creek and we were impressed by some of the Breakfast/Brunch items they had. The restaurant also had an upscale feel and fits perfectly into the fabric of Walnut Creek. We made reservations the night before and had a great experience. The restaurant has white linens and the staff is very accommodating. The ambiance is nice and the food exceeded our expectations. They had an enticing, though slightly limited, menu. There was one entrée that really got our interest. The item was Strawberry Brioche French Toast. The four of us ordered the same thing and it was truly to die for. You did not even need to chew the French Toast. It was very soft and absolutely delectable. We then all shared a killer pudding desert which had a Graham Cracker Crust. The deserts in this place all looked good and we had a lot of trouble just picking one, but we were full from the main course and could not have eaten any more. The waiter was especially nice and jolly. The price was expensive, however it was well worth it. more
