Restaurants near Charles W. Merrill House

We have dined at Casa Orinda’s since 1984….guess that’s 40 years. The food is always very good.| realized I had never ordered the cannelloni appetizer . I was excellent. No surprise. My husband orders the fried chicken. A Casa staple. There is no better. I got the eggplant parmigiana and always enjoy it. There are no bad choices. Our server tonight was Marty along with many others who clear and refill glasses. The staff and team are always attentive, professional and kind. Thank goodness Casa maintains the quality and excellent dining experience.

Great views and a very nice atmosphere! The food was very good and the service was as well. Parking was a bit pricey...

Everything was great, the cozy warm patio for people who want out door dining, food was good and the hot water with lemon was great for cold night, but just one thing. We wish there was a waitressing training for what is the right distance talking to customers. Some were doing right not too close but some got too close to our face and to our food. Health concerns one shouldn’t talk too close or above to the food.

We have been frequenting this restaurant after viewing a film at the Orinda Theatre. We have found the service to be accommodating and the food delicious. I appreciate that they have many vegetarian choices in their soups and entrees. The noise level is usually moderate. It was energetic on this day because there was a large group watching the Super Bowl.

Great service and the owner was very attentive and helpful. Food was really good
