- FFoodieVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •42 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoSouvlaki entree was delicious. Yet…the new menu offers fewer choices, and we miss some of our favorites. Everything is more expensive everywhere these days, so expect to pay for quality and white tablecloth service. We could have enjoyed our conversation and evening out more without the distraction of the live band. We avoid weekend dining because of the noise, so didn’t expect a live band on a Wednesday night.More infoElia - Walnut CreekPrice: Expensive• Greek• Walnut Creek•4.7
