About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Casa Orinda has been serving the finest Western and Italian food in the area for the past 84 years. We are famous for our fried chicken, prime beef, and classic Italian pasta, chicken, and veal dishes -- everything being made from scratch in our kitchen using only the freshest, highest quality ingredients.

Our full service mahogany bar is a popular stop for locals and visitors looking for a nice refreshment and a hearty meal in a cozy, friendly atmosphere. We have three dining rooms, each with a slightly different character afforded by our hand-formed brass hearth fireplace, Western original art collection, famous antique gun collection, and alluring floral arrangements.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Casa Orinda is a beloved classic, offering "excellent food and service" in a charming, nostalgic setting. Known for its "fried chicken and prime rib", it provides a comforting dining experience. Valet parking and generous portions add to the appeal. While some found the noise challenging, the "friendly staff" consistently delivers a memorable visit.

    It was alright. I wouldn’t hurry back. It’s got old school ambiance and clearly a loyal local following. But it took 15 minutes to get seated (with a reservation), and a long time to order. Probably didn’t get our dinners until an hour after we arrived. Might be great for an adult date night but we had a toddler, so wouldn’t recommend bringing kids (though there were many tables with small children). I just expected faster service. And my daughter’s “Ceasar Salad” had a lemon vinaigrette, not Caesar dressing, with cold shrimp. She was expecting warm cooked shrimp and Ceasar dressing. I’d choose Smith’s Landing for similar food / dining.

    Always wonderful, Claudia the hostess more than makes up for the surly bartenders. She is fabulous. Dinora and our server were fantastic. Chicken cutlets were superb.

    We started with fried zucchini which were OK, but a littlle soggy. The main plates were over crowded. I had prime rib which was medium rare to medium when I asked that it be rare. It was tasteless. The baked potato was served whole with a small metal container of sour cream and maybe 10 very small pieces of chives on top. The side of veggies had been steamed to death and were also tasteless. It was $63 and it was not worth it. The server was great. It was very dark and we had to use our iphone flashlight to read the menu and to see some of the food to know what it was. Several other tables did the same thing. It was impossible for my wife who has macular degenerative disease. My wife had tornadoes which were also over cooked and didn't have much taste. Her plate was also very crowded and had the same potato and tasteless veggies. He dish was $55. Had the food been better the prices would have been fine. Finally, the valet parking was very good.

    We love Casa Orinda! The fried chicken and eggplant parmigiana with a side of meatballs is our favorite. What’s not to love about the traditional waitstaff that always makes you feel like a “regular”. It’s our go-to restaurant about every two months! Don’t forget to order a straight-up martini from the bar.

    Loved everything but the closeness of the tables available for couples (2 seaters). Felt like I was sharing a split table for four and the other couple were strangers. Their conversation was not meant for us, but we couldn’t avoid hearing everything. I come here often with family and love it. Guess we won’t be doing date night at Casa Orinda again!
