Prawns with garlic aioli just the start of a great meal at Walnut Creek's Benvenuti. So good...

@DonaTomasOak Orange Crush: We love these two great cocktails. And the food is just as good.

@pacificcatch Check out the seafood tower (called Going All In) at the new Walnut Creek Pacific Catch. So good ...

@DonaTomasOak Chile relleno and carnitas (so good), margaritas (not too sweet) and great desserts. No wonder Dona Tomas has been in Temescal for 18 years.

Oakland's Pican has, essentially, found a new home in Hayward -- and PlayT is definitely worth the trip. Great drinks, nice atmosphere, good food ... @Playtonb

@tenieastkitchen Wonderful flavors, from roti with curry sauce to cardamom chicken to pea shoot salad. Another great dining spot in Oakland's Temescal: Teni East Kitchen.

@agaveuptown Oaxacan food (yummy), top shelf Mezcal (also), nice ambiance at Oakland's Agave Uptown. Fun night ...

Lemat in Berkeley has classic Ethiopian food in a great ambiance. Fun night on Adeline ...

@eatlokanta Bekir and some great Happy Hour tastes. And if you're nice, Bekir might even show you some of his juggling magic.

@luciasberkeley Prosciutto and mushroom pizza at Lucia's Pizzeria. But the gnocchi was fabulous too. A gem ...

@copperspoonoak Lots of good stuff at Oakland's newest, the Copper Spoon on Broadway.

Lokanta (Walnut Creek) for a Friday Happy Hour. The spanikopita is special.

Thai House in Danville has won six straight Michelin Bib Gourmand awards... and for good reason. Just great fresh food ...
