    Dinner was delicious, but the noise level was deafening! I felt like I was eating in a playpen! I usually go there for lunch and sit outside but last night we had dinner inside. It was so noisy. I have no idea how they can fix that, but it was not a pleasant experience. I'll stick to lunch from now on

    Excellent food and service. Very good quality seafood. They also have an early bird special menu that is a great value. Highly recommend!

    Found this neighborhood restaurant while traveling through Pleasant Hill. Conveniently located not far from 680. Food was perfectly done and the restaurant was busy with other people enjoying the food. Definitely a worthwhile place to visit.

    Wence’s is a great restaurant with good food. I have gone a handful of times with no issues. My only issue the last time I went was that I felt they pushed take home boxes while we were still eating (and I had just gotten my glass of wine). Servers deal with a lot but it wasn’t that crowded. I will still go again.

    Went inside for Happy Hour as it was raining. Mussels were excellent as were the fish tacos. We are happy when Edgar is our server!

    Everyone liked their entree, but thought the prices were a little high for the amount of food. My beignets were burned and not fried all the way through. Everyone else was finished by the time our waiter came back so I could let him know this. Acted like it was on me; not cool. Our waiter was nice, but unfortunately, did not check on us after we received our entrees. Could have been better.
