"We had take out and were excited since we love China House in Novato. Admittedly we compared quality and portions to Novato location. The young man who gave me the order told me they are all independently owned. The portions were smaller and seemed pricier than the Marin county location. Chicken teriyaki was in a lot of broth with onions and mushrooms, not what we expected. Shrimp with walnuts was okay but not very flavorful and heavily breaded. We would try it again but with enough time, make the drive to Novato."

"I went to the restaurant for a promotional offer and it was very busy. The line to place an order was long, and the line to pick up food was almost as long. The staff behind the counter worked efficiently and seemed to be in sync as they served customers. The customers on my side of the counter were surprisingly well-behaved considering the noisy environment. An employee near the door handed out coupons and engaged in friendly conversation, while another staff member entertained guests with magic tricks and collected donations. The barista took the time to explain the menu item "The Black Tie" to me and helped me choose a dessert. I paid, left a tip, and then waited for my drink. My order was ready quickly and my name was called out. The drink was great, the cookie was delicious, and the service was excellent. Well done, Vaca Peet's! Great job!"

"Had lunch with my family about 6 weeks ago...and it will be my last visit to this restaurant. The food was good but it arrived sporadically and took about 20-30 minutes...I had 5 grandchildren with me! We had to get the attention of other waiters for water, refills etc., as the waitress at our table appear to have abandon us. When she brought the bill, I had my daughter review it as there appear to be an error. The young waitress waited behind her and made an audible sound signally her disapproval of my daughter inspecting the bill. I have never had waitress/waiter hovering over you waiting for the bill. I will not return to this restaurant!"

"Attending my friend's wedding i got to know about Clay Oven Grill and Bar since the food for the evening was catered by them. Finger licking , lip smacking food served at its finest best. That would still be an understatement. Started my first round with the appetizers which there was an array (a combination of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options of, though i happened to pick the fish and paneer pakora along with the chicken tandoori pieces . The sauce that was served on the side had absolute amazing flavors written all over it. The chicken tandoori had flavor undertones of being prepared in a tandoor which you could tell right away. Can't get any more authentic with the way it needs to be prepared. The pakoras had just the right amount of crisp and the taste with the spices used during the preparation added gold to glory. Pretty phenomenal. Picked up a cup of tea along the way (though there was filter coffee on offer too, which i happened to sip late in the evening and boy it turned to be just amazing which had authenticity written all over it as it was neither too strong nor too mild and just the perfect taste as well. Didn't stop at round 1 as my belly rumbled for more and round 2 had home run written all over it!! A few events and a couple of hours later , dinner was served (eagerly awaited : . There were Dal Makhni , Butter Chicken , Goat curry (can't get over it , a mixed veggie platter along with a couple different type of Naan options (namely plain and Garlic with salad , green chutney (cilantro and raita (yogurt with some finely sliced onions, spices and herbs to enjoy. I started with Goat curry and some garlic naan and you could tell that the chef/cook who would have prepared it knew what he was doing. At times when i have eaten goat curry at weddings/receptions/catered events, you get that smell from the cooked goat/lamb meat which at times can throw people off and there wasn't even the slightest of traces of that as my nose is pretty sensitive to these nitty-gritty nuances. The curry packed a punch and the meat fell off the bone with the slightest of nibbles which definitely made it an enjoyable experience rather than a tussle. Naans were perfect and just the right and not overwhelming which they can be during such large gatherings. Absolute measure of good quality control being administered!! Next up for grab was butter chicken and i added some Dal makhni in a bowl along side and tasted the same with plain naan. The chicken had a very authentic flavor which was very different from a conventional butter chicken that you would get at any restaurant out there. This was more subtle though every chicken piece that i had was very tender and juicy (at times in the past i have had variations of butter chicken , where the chicken pieces become thick as rock and are a big turn off and melted in the mouth at the first bite. The Dal makhni was laced with ghee and definitely the aroma was filling the air. To top it rasmalai and carrot halwa were being served as the desserts for the evening. I happened to pick a couple of rasmalai pieces along with a big spoon of the halwa and the bar just kept getting raised to a new high!!! The time that the team at Clay Oven would have spent preparing these dishes definitely showed in the output. Serving this top notch quality food with an extremely humble and guest focussed crew wrapped up this special evening and must say kudos and great job to the folks at Clay Over Grill and Bar. I would love to drive down to the restaurant some time soon and would recommend this over any other restaurant that you think would even be a close second, since if they could maintain such high quality with such a large gathering they definitely would do so and more in a scaled down and a restaurant setting. So long!! Review from our last visit on 05/27/24 Google enforces a limit of characters in the review though I have detailed our last visit in my most recent Yelp review of the business. An absolutely amazing experience that we will definitely repeat!!!"

"I have also left a great review for another Thai restaurant in town that I love, but I realized that I have been coming to Tom Yum Goong for over a decade and have not yet shared my thoughts. Well, that changes now. Tom Yum Goong is a small, unassuming Thai restaurant tucked away in a quiet area of Vacaville. If you weren't specifically looking for it, you might miss it, and that would be a shame. Tom Yum Goong was here before many of the currently popular Thai restaurants arrived, making it an original gem in Vacaville. Every dish at Tom Yum Goong is delicious, and the quality and variety of their menu options, generous portions, reasonable prices, and friendly staff have made it a favorite for me and my wife. They have become familiar with us and our children over the years, and they have stayed true to their authentic and original flavors. The restaurant may not be fancy inside, but it is clean, and the food is the main attraction. Give Tom Yum Goong a try - you won't be disappointed."
