    What a treat! I was honored to be included in their soft opening Thursday night, before they reopened to the public on Friday. Food was incredible, with generous portions. From the carpaccio to the ribs, coleslaw, Brussel sprouts, fries - my mouth is watering just thinking about it two days later. Beautiful wine to go with it. And it was topped off with a delectable citrus mini bunt cake that was light as a feather accompanied by an amazing Chantilly cream. Service was amazing - attentive but not overly so. It is wonderful to have Bounty Hunter back. The renovations looked great! Will definitely be there for dinner again soon!

    We hadn't been to Rooftop since before covid and were totally wowed. Of course, where else would you want to be on a warm, sunny winter day but perched atop Walnut Creek looking on Mt. Diablo and the surrounding hills. We arrived for lunch and all three of us loved our meals -- the dumpling starter was fantastic, and everyone loved their lunch (shrimp tacos, pappardelle/caesar, salmon/caesar). Our server was fantastic, the support staff attentive, the vibe was chill and the music great. Who could ask for anything more. Rooftop is now at the top of our WC dining list.
