Reviews for Xenia Bistro in Alamo, CA
Really delicious Filet Mignon with mashed potatoes and Chicken Cordon Bleu. We had a shrimp appetizer that was pretty good too.... But unfortunately didn’t get a picture. We also had a couple drinks and some delicious tiramisus with a bit of coffee afterdinner. Outdoor seating with wind covers and some overhead heaters. Was very pleasant even on a windy night! Great wait staffwho were very attentive and wonderful! Read more

This is a hard review to write because I have wanted to go here for some time now. The reviews seem to really pump this place up... so it was definitely on my list, despite being wary of big-box shopping centers' restaurants. Sat outside: sitting so close toan intersection in the parking lot of a busy Safeway was anything but pleasant. It eventually died down as it grew dark, butthere were yellow jackets or hornets buzzing about the tables and food, which really really added to the distracting outdoorsetting. The staff: definitely works hard, the servers and bussers were feverishly in and out and between tables with littledown time. The food: the calamari was under-fried, the concavity potato skins were barely even full of toppings except for theglob of sour cream on each. As famous chefs have said, food not only has to taste good, but it has to look good too. The steaksalad was good: fresh produce and appeal although the meat was tough to cut, like they did not cut it against the grain whenthey served it upon the salad. The italian sausage pizza was ok, but not tasty enough to eat more than a piece or two (and fromwhat I see today, it is not very appetizing when you save it) The cocktail menu is just ok although, they pour heavy, so orderwhat you normally drink vs something fancy from that menu. We tried the greyhound and a martini. Greyhound was meh but themartini was good. I think I may try this place again but for a lunch menu: it is probably not the best dinner option whenDanville's restaurant row is just a couple miles away. I read another reviewer's comments of this place and they used the word"reasonable" which I think is fitting, hence the three-star rating. Read more
The best ribeye steak I try I tried to tell you what a week and the flavor is always the same good stuff and I also recommend... the calamari appetizer is awesome Read more
I’ve never written a review in my life but I have to say this is my favorite restaurant!! I’ve ordered door dash from them... many times!! It’s always fresh and everything I’ve had so far is to die for! The lobster ravioli is my favorite. The braisedribs was amazing! It’s hard to not order everything I love the menu selection! Read more
Reservation for 7PM. We were seated after table and chairs were sanitized. It was a beautiful evening on the patio shaded by the... building. They have a well rounded menu that should appeal to most tastes. Salads, pizza, pasta and steaks. Sometimes I make ameal from the starters alone. Grilled shrimp, bruschetta and so much more. Potato Crusted Halibut and Slow Braised Beef ShortRibs are favorites. You have the option to add steak, shrimp, salmon or chicken to your salad. Full bar and decent wine list.I'm ready to go again!

Excellent friendly staff in an open decorated restaurant. We went on a Sunday morning for breakfast. A bit dissappointed in... the eggs benedict...not a recognizable hollandaise sauce. Omelet was good as well as country potatoes..just wish there were afew more potatoes for the price. I would try them again for lunch just incase breakfast isn't their speciality. Read more
Paid $17.95 for fish and chips through DoorDash for literally ONE piece of fish. This was the center of our order/reason for... ordering, so we were sorely disappointed. Had I known it was only 1 piece we wouldn't have even bothered ordering. Also a bitodd that they let you select between rare thru well-done for fish. The burrata tomato crostini was nice and we appreciated thatthey packed it all separately so it didn't get soggy. The artichoke spinach dip was nice. Both of these were also priced quitehigh at $16.95 each, though. The pepperoni pizza was decent and adequately priced, as was the chocolate cake. Overall notworth the expense. Read more
