Best Casual Restaurants in Martinez

The Cooperage was very busy when we arrived with many waiting for tables. We were seated promptly for our reservation and the noise level was pretty high with the restaurant full and the pull-down doors closed due to weather. Service was friendly but there were gaps in attention at times. We were not in a hurry, but our entrée orders was not taken until after we had finished eating our appetizers and it took a long time for our entrees to arrive compared to tables around ours. I am sure the busy night with a full house was a factor. Food was great, appetizers tuna tartare and brussels sprouts, entrees steak frites, fried chicken, ahi sandwich, and short ribs. The group enjoyed craft cocktails, wine and draft beer. Look forward to our next visit.

As always, I enjoyed my meal as did my guest! This is easily my 10th visit during the past year and have never been disappointed. I would recommend this restaurant without exception.

The breakfast Sandwhich is one of the tastiest I’ve had in the Bay Area. This is a unique gem, highly recommend.

Everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the petrale sole, my husband had the fish and chips, our friends had Mahi Mahi tacos, and clams and chips.

We had a reservation for the speakeasy and the service, food, and drinks were excellent. The speakeasy is a small intimate area in the back of the restaurant with its own bar and a great ambiance. 10/10 we will be back.
