Great downtown dinner spot

Had dinner here last weekend and really enjoyed the Brussels sprouts appetizer - perfectly crispy with a nice bacon touch. The cocktails are well-crafted and the service was attentive without being pushy. Nice atmosphere for date night in downtown Pleasanton.

Great cocktails and atmosphere

Had dinner here last weekend and was really impressed with the seasonal menu - the duck breast with winter vegetables was perfectly cooked. The bartender crafted an excellent old fashioned that was smoky and balanced. Service was attentive without being pushy, and the downtown location makes it perfect for walking around after dinner.
