   Food was delicious. Unfortunately, the service was poor and the compulsory 20% service charge was an insult.

   Having been to the Slanted Door in SF and in San Ramon several times we were sorely disappointed at the drastically reduced vegetarian options at SD in San Ramon. Not sure why they did that given the world is migrating to more plant based options even in the most meat-intense cuisines. Having just 2 starter options and 1 entree option for 4 of us was really really pitiful. Especially since they had many more options not even a few months ago. Service also was patchy, with a positive wait staff, but who was unavailable for large swathes of time. We had to repeatedly call out to her to get her attention. Not likely to go again unless the menu gets more inclusive for vegetarians like us.

   We arrived at 6:00 - the time of our reservations - and told the host (who might have been the manager) that our friends were running 15-20 minutes late. He said it was not a problem and we were welcome to relax at our table and wait for them. The service was excellent - we didn't feel rushed at all and yet our waiter seemed to appear just when we were ready to order drinks, then appetizers, then dinner and finally our check. We ate outside and the heaters (which were above the table) were very comfortable warm without being too hot. This was our usual excellent experience at Slanted Door.

   Slanted Door never fails to deliver amazing food. We had a table inside. There was a large party near us celebrating a special event. It was hard to hear the conversation at our table of 4.

    We arrived a late lunch in the mid-afternoon. It was not very busy; and there were at least 4 aproned staff present in the kitchen. Despite that, service was super-slow. 10 min before someone asked about drinks; 15 minutes later we had to ask someone else to bring the bottled water we had ordered. About 20-30 minutes after ordering the appetizers -- spring rolls -- they arrived. Etc. Two of us had bottled water, 1 appetizer each, and 1 main course each. We were there for 1 hour and 45 minutes. This was not our normal experience at Slanted Door, but it was inexplicable and inexcusable.

    We dined there on a Friday night at 7:30pm. It was not very busy. Our appetizers, an eggroll and dumplings came out timely and were tasty. We ordered the cubed beef and chicken pot for our entrees. They took FOREVER to come out and the chicken was too salty and the beef overcooked and tough. Our waitress was exceptional. She couldn't be more apologetic and nice. She offered us a free dessert and when we declined she took an appetizer off our bill. For the price (this place isn't cheap) it was not worth it. The food was mediocre at best.

    We eat here often and last night we were a little annoyed. Drinks came AFTER first two courses...never happened before. Shaking beef was not as great as last time, almost flavorless. Also, biggest annoyance was the VERY LOUD music playing outside in the open park area. Very disruptive and made the building shake. Lesson learned no Friday dining during the summer. We usually eat here during the week. The music was so loud that i am reaching out to the management of the Center.

    Really good work dinner the other night. Temps outside were 110*, but the restaurant was nice and cool and the bar was serving up some refreshing drinks. Food was great as always. I highly recommend the beef ribs appetizer. The meat fell off the bone and they had a great sauce on them. Generous plate too.

    Profoundly underwhelming experience. We used to go to their first restaurant in SF for a good number of years. After they opened the San Ramon location, we chose to go to this one, being closer to us. Yesterday it has been really disappointing. The restaurant was almost empty, the food came late and everything was extremely salty. We ordered a virgin Pina Colada and the glass came full of ice and with a bit of liquid in between. For the second one, we asked for the same drink but without the ice. We have been told that the glass will be only half full. That has been an unexpected reply, that we never heard before. Overall, we will not go back there anytime soon.

    Positively not worth a visit. Rice came first and was hard and over cooked, then adult meals arrived and then drinks and kids meals. Kids meals were horrible. Neither kiddo despite being hungry ate. Adult meals were barely eatable. Mandatory 20 % tip was added without ability to not give it, even though we were party of 4. No one asked what our special occasion was and it took 17 min to get a check. What a pity.

    I have been to this restaurant a few times but this evening was made special by the GM who runs this place. We couldn’t get a sever and he took it on himself to ensure we had the best service ever! I couldn’t decide on which wine to order and he offered me 3 tastings, for which I am very thankful. The food was delicious and so were our drinks. But it’s truly his attentiveness that made a good dinner great! Thank you !

    Can’t enjoy a better lunch than at Slanted Door San Ramon on a hot Friday afternoon. Everyone was sitting outside while servers Ally and Felix skillfully worked the crowd. We ordered the Hamachi Crudo, Green Papaya Salad, Veggie Imperial Rills, Shaking Beef, Crab Cellophane Noodles and a Shrimp Bun. Hats off to their back of the house because all dishes were the usual outstandingly delicious category. Cudos also to their dessert chef because the Melon Panna Cotta, Coconut Tapioca Pudding and Japanese Milk Bread Pudding were grand slams out of the park good!!! Can’t wait for the Embarcadero joint to reopen but this one at the Bollinger Canyon Shopping Center is plenty satisfying.

    2nd time at the slanted door and we tired the duck and ribs. Honestly, both were really disappointing. The duck tasted really meaty, no flavor (no salt or anything). The ribs were super smokey and couldn’t really taste any other flavors. We also order the crispy imperial rolls that were good the last time we dined at the slanted door. Unfortunately this time they were burnt and not up to par.

    Hello there, First of all, we love Slanted Door and are there pretty regularly--maybe every month or so. I do have a couple of recommendations which I hope are taken in the spirit in which they are offered. Okay: there needs to be a dedicated Host at the nice counter in the front. Not someone who is behind the bar chatting and pouring wine after they have seated someone, but a person who is there to greet guests as they arrive. On several occasions, and last night was no exception, we have stood and waited with several other groups and the host was nowhere to be seen. When she did appear, and took one of the three groups ahead of us, she disappeared for an inappropriately long time. This happened with each group. One more suggestion: the cocktails are delicious and I realize a good cocktail takes time, but we waited a VERY long time for our three drinks and when our order did arrive, they had the wrong drink for me. But...the servers are kind and helpful and the food is always delicious--the four pieces of hamachi crudo with a garnish of fried shallots were delicious as were the imperial rolls, and the pan fried dumpling; we also had two wonderful dishes taking advantage of the summer bounty: one with Early Girl cherry tomatoes and the second with Brentwood fresh corn. The clay pot chicken and an order of rice closed our order. Just a couple of tweaks and this place would be perfection.

    Our server was very nice, but our we had to call him over to take our order. We waited a long time for our food, to the point that we had to ask him when we would be served. We also were not offered a dessert menu. The food was not that good, and we all agreed that the food was overpriced and really not that great. We also had to go up to the counter to ask for our bill. I understand staffing is an issue, but for the prices they are charging, I expect the food to taste better. We enjoyed dining at Slanted Door in SF over the years, so our experience at the San Ramon location was disappointing.

    Food was excellent as always. However, despite a very sparse restaurant, we had to wait a long time between food items arriving at our table. Fortunately, we weren't in a hurry, but it did take considerable time - almost 40 minutes from our dumplings to our entree. Also, we sat outside and the ground was not very clean or picked up.

    Horrible service and food. They already added a 20% service charge to the bill for our party of 4 and did not care about the service even if was non existent. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY HERE. HORRIBLE PLACE AND YOU CAN USE THAT MONEY FOR A 3 MONTH GYM MEMBERSHIP ITSELF TO BUY SOME REAL VALUE.

    Birthday dinner, four women. Cocktails, and amazing food. Ordered five things and had a taste of each. Perfect. Service was excellent. It is cavernous indoor space so can be a bit echoing but didn’t bother us too much. This is a favorite place for all of us. Pricey but worth it.
