Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in El Cerrito

We are so fortunate to have a restaurant like Millenium here in the Bay Area. The quality of the food and ingredients are amazing, the creativity in the dishes astounding, and the atmosphere and service fantastic. So grateful to be able to go there.

The food at Yoshi's is excellent, as is the service. They have plenty of well-trained staff to service the clientele. While expensive, the quality of the food is excellent and I felt we were not overpaying for what we ordered (unusual these days!). And we could talk without needing to yell to be heard, yay! I do wish wine by the glass wasn't so expensive.... We had a very nice experience and look forward to going back.

Christmas prix fixe menu was just delicious and a good value. Service was efficient and attentive for a bustling night. The only downside- cold in the restaurant. Had to keep my coat on, many diners as well. Lobster Bisque is delicious, the Crab and Artichoke dip very tasty. Entrees were great- PrimeRib, Surf and Turf, tender and well seasoned Swordfish. We would go again and probably will next year.

Went for Christmas Eve Feast of the Seven Fishes and did the full wine pairing— a splurge after a busy & draining day/week/year. The space was welcoming and festive, the wine pairings were interesting and thoughtful and the hospitality and service were impeccable from the moment we walked in to the moment we left hours later. Mistakes happen - especially on a busy holiday shift - but any minor hiccups were swiftly addressed. We felt treated like royalty but then also like old friends by the end of the meal.

A great pre-theater option for light bites, sandwiches, and salads. Outside seating is nice mid- afternoon and service was wonderful.
