We started with oysters which were good. My girlfriend got the Caesar with pasta. The pasta was dry and had no flavor. We had to go up to the bar to get salt to try and flavor it I had the scallops over roasted veggies. The sauce was overwhelming so I had no idea how the veggies were. At a minimum this dish should have been served with rice,veggies on the side. The third friend had a beet salad. There is nothing really to say about that. Finally we had to find our server to ask for the check. We will not be back based on amazing dining options in the area.

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.

Rooftop was incredibly noisy, the service was initially slow to be attentive and then improved, the food was only mediocre, the Calamari was not crisp and the short ribs were not tasty.

Really love this place in the summer… but it was still really nice for a winter birthday celebration. Vibe and drinks were on point… first time having something other than starters and the entree was delicious.

Took about 20+ mins to take our order, truffle fries tasted like regular garlic fries, espresso martinis were not good at all.
