    Love this location of the Grand Lake Kitchen! So spacious, pretty, and the staff is so nice! Every dish was delicious. We particularly liked the chickpea stew, matzah ball soup, lox plate, and chicken breast dinner.

    Great as always. Delicious food, comfortable space. When there was a little delay on our drinks, they went above and beyond to make it right. Will be back for sure!

    Delicious 'homestyle' food. Youthful patrons, and yet seniors are also made to feel welcome. Our server, Ka'Mye (not sure of spelling) was attentive and polite.

    We love Grand Late Kitchen Dimond as a place to meet family that far away in the larger Bay Area. Because we are still Covid-Careful, we love that we can make reservations for Outside Dining. People in our party loved both the brunch and lunch dishes. Service from Damien and the team was perfection.

    We had the ravioli primavera, which was so fresh and beautiful. We were both impressed! We also had a delicious burger with fries and pillowy soft mini donuts for dessert. It was all delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. Love this place.
