Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in San Pablo

This is one of our go to places. Food is consistently good and the service is great. We love the fried olive appetizer 👍👍

We went on a weekend with a set 4 course menu (option to choose which appetizer, entree & dessert). We ordered some sage lemonade & lime rhyme, which was delicious and refreshing! I enjoyed the fried mushrooms with the sweet n spicy sauce (jam like) and gem salad. For the entrees, we selected the tofu & risotto. The tofu dish was asian inspired and the nutty tasty was beautiful - who would have through some peach with this dish would go so beautifully. The risotto dish with the crispy mushroom and veggies were really light and filling. The dessert was much better than I expected since it’s vegan (I love the butter). The strawberry galette was special, such light coconut sorbet. All together, one of my favorite vegan meals of all time. I highly recommend bringing your family or friends to enjoy the food!

Amazing food and cocktails. Inventive and delicious. Great service as well. A wonderful dining experience.

The service is always stellar, cocktails were on point, and the fried little fish reminded me of the original ones where the batter is a lot lighter than what I’ve seen for the past year. Couldn’t be happier Nopa is the best restaurant in San Francisco.

Two couples getting together for a casual Sunday lunch and conversation at Akemi. Great Japanese combos and bentos. Generously-sized portions, pleasant and attentive waitress. We enjoyed tonkatsu, tempura, salmon, miso soup and sides (especially refreshing cabbage salad and delicious brussels sprouts!). Background music not loud. Pricier but well worth it, IMO. Restaurant's signage is subtle so be on the lookout if it's a first visit--we initially drove right by it.
