If an honest restaurant is important, go elsewhere. However if good food even when served cold and friendly and outgoing waiters are important, this is a great restaurant. Pros: Our waiter was very nice, friendly, and helpful. The rib eye was cooked perfectly and tasted great even though it was cold by the time we got it. The mashed potatoes were plain and bare, with no taste. The vegetables were perfectly cooked and tasted as they should. Cons: The food was cold by the time we got it. It was only brought after the waiter asked if there was anything else we wanted and we told him we wanted our food (about 20 minutes after ordering). Pricing was not as advertised even though listed right on the tablet the waiter brought (they prefer you to struggle to read the menu on your phone but when

This was my first time here. We were quickly seated and we chose to sit outside since it was a beautiful day. The staff was friendly and luckily we studied the menu online since they don't have paper menus and you have to scan the QR code placed on the table. My lamb burger was delicious but it lacked seasoning so I just put pepper from the table. Also, my wife felt the chicken lacked seasoning as well. The patio furniture needs to be refurbished since they were kinda worn out from being constantly outdoors but I would return especially for the lamb burger.

Salmon and risotto was Delicious. The bruschetta was also very good. The service here was excellent The owner and Chef came to the table and explain the food and cooked everything exactly the way my picky friends liked it. I would love to come back when it’s daytime and I can see the water. Bring cash!

I absolutely love trying new places and I moved to Pinole in September 2023, this review is based on my visit October 10, 2023.. I was told to check this place out. I'm someone that looks at reviews and then decides to make my own opinion based off my experience, so here y'all go : Food (5/5) : I reallllly wish I could have ordered the eggs Benedict but the breakfast menu is only available fri/sat/sun so it being a Tuesday, I ordered my go to sandwich, the Reuben with a side salad, while my buddy ordered the Tuesday special Fried chicken club with salad and fries on the side. My Reuben was perfect. I'll say I I don't like rye bread because I don't like the overpower of the flavor of the caraway seeds, but for some reason I love it with a reuben, so let me say, this bread was perfect and h

First time at Leila by the Bay and it did not disappoint! I’ve been wanting to come here for years, and I’m so glad I finally made it happen. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the service was great. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing breakfast with beautiful views. I took tons of pictures and videos because everything was just that nice—from the presentation of the food to the cozy, coastal vibe. It felt like a little hidden gem tucked away in Hercules. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a chill breakfast spot with good energy and even better food. I can’t wait to come back and try dinner next time—we’re already planning it!
