The dining room is wide open to the outdoors which was too cold for a comfortable lunch on that particular windy Tuesday. All food we had needed salt. Service staff was very accommodating but overall experience was mediocre.

The airline chicken was excellent! My date and I cleaned our plates! And the after-dinner key lime dessert with coffee from their French press was a perfect finish. Outstanding service as well.

Service was great but food was a very big disappointment. How the heck do you ruin a salad? We each had a different salad from the menu and all 3 salads were really lacking. Shame, because 2 of us had been here before and were happy with the experiences.

Everything was Good, with the only thing that should have been better, was our Service! Too many mistakes were made throughout our time there. The couple that we invited were also disappointed with the service. Normally it’s NOT, that way there.

I’ve been to Corner Tavern on numerous occasions at the request of other people. I have never been that impressed with the food, but I’ve gone when invited out with friends. I took my 13 year old son on Friday because we had a gift card, and he wanted steak. We had a 5:30 reservation, and we were one of five occupied tables with a total of 10 dining customers. Our shishito peppers came out in a timely manner and were a decent sub for the Brussels sprouts that are not currently on the menu. My son’s steak bavette and additional side of fries came out quickly. I waited five minutes before getting up from the table to find the waiter to check on my Cobb salad. He had not checked on us, and the runner hadn’t brought out my food. My Cobb arrived a few minutes later. My son’s steak was smothered in sauce that congealed while we waited for my salad. The kid who can easily put away a 16oz ribeye left half of the 10oz steak on the plate because it was so bad. My Cobb salad was swimming in dressing so I foraged for protein while searching for greens that were not drenched. The smoked chicken on the salad was dry, but the bacon bits were decent. The manager cut our bill in half which was appropriate.

Great place for groups, but a little on the loud side. The food was good and the portions are just right. Price is matched with the quality. The service was a little disjointed, could be better with timing. Over all good place to dine.

They got rid of the shishito peppers from the menu. Sadly that was the main reason we decided to go tonight. So that is why the food is only given two stars. Other than that the visit was good, but until they bring those back we most likely won't really go back as their food is fairly generic for Walnut Creek and there isn't much special that they do.

Service has really taken a dive here. Hope that changes! Food brought out before a previous course was finished and cleared. Multiple times food delivered with no silverware. We had to fish our own off another table. Never asked if we wanted more drinks. Dessert not delivered. Waiter bumped into one person in our party getting her hair in someone else’s food. They said nothing. Fix this Corners Tavern or many wont be back.

We sat at the bar, where the bartender on what was a slow night, refused to acknowledge us for 10 plus minutes. There was no excuse. The food was good the service was not.

After checking in, a lady directed us to our seats. The place was completely empty (enough table options) and room for us to sit anywhere. However, the lady took 6 people to be seated at their small booth. We then asked if we could sit at this table, that was available, and bigger, but she walked away. When she walked away we all were beyond shocked. We had no idea that she had to get permission for us to be seated at the proper table for a bigger party (6 people). We were just standing in the middle of the restaurant, looking crazy, for a while. Another guy who worked there saw us and asked, “do you guys need help?” That was when I explained the situation and he willingly said we can sit there. Once we were seated, got water, our waited came. Our waiter, Brianna was socially awkward it seemed. She hardly came over to our table to check and see if we needed refills, ask how the food was, or ask simply, hows everything. We didn’t receive good customer service with her. She was nowhere to be found and we always had to get her attention (wave) for us to be serviced. Out of our whole time there she came to our table 4 times and the last 2 times was only to bring our checks. She messed up on the 1st check- overcharged us and put 2 Corners Burgers on the check when it should have been 1 and a kids burger. I liked the ambiance and the restaurants setup it was nice. Super cute restaraunt. The place would be a great place to come grab drinks they had a really good drink menu. Although, I didn’t get an alcoholic beverage they had a good amount of options to choose from for their drinks. However, I couldn’t say the same for the food menu. It was a broad variety of food to choose from, that was a setback. It wasn’t hardly any options to choose from which I believe they should expand and add more to their menu. I had the Corners Burger it was cooked well and seasoned fine. It was ok. Overall, the service and food wasn’t good which is what stood out negatively.

The service and food has changed drastically. It use to be one of our favorite hot dots to go too. They did some major changes to the menu and they do not serve their delicious bread any longer! Big mistake! We don’t plan on going back!

I think this was the waitress’s first day. She forgot our appetizers (which she admitted was her fault), lunch took a while to get, she didn’t check on us to ask how our lunch was after it arrived, and we had to flag her down on several occasions. The restaurant was not that busy. Embarrassing because I suggested this restaurant to my friends for a reunion lunch. Don’t think I will return (for a long while anyway).
