The Park Bistro & Bar, featuring modern American fare with a French twist, is located within the recently renovated Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa in Lafayette and they recently came out with a new fall/winter menu which you can check out here. I had a chance to try the heirloom beet salad, pressed Mary’s chicken and braised short rib which tasted excellent. To top it off, there is free self-service parking in their underground garage as well as a free valet for diners. I don’t know how many times I’ve driven by without realizing they had free parking!

Yesterday we learned that The Lumpia Company replaced 310 Eatery in downtown Walnut Creek but 310 Eatery, like the Terminator, will be back:
The 310 and it’s crew wishes to thank all of it’s fans for the very loyal support over the past twelve months as it returned the Downtown Walnut Creek area. And in this further instance, we would like for our wonderful fan base to know, we have recommenced a search for that special space in Downtown Walnut Creek where it all began for us and in doing so, we will very much look forward to relaunching with the added Progeny component alongside 310’s already “Krazy- Delish” menu – imagine, The Traffic Jam Burger and Bacon Jam Fries on the same table with “Har Gow?” Is your mouth watering already? Legitimate Hong Kong/L.A. Style Dim Sum and with what the Yelp community calls the Best Burgers of the East Bay together on the same table? Wow! Please stay tuned.
In the interim and for those that simply can’t wait for The 310’s anticipated return to Downtown Walnut Creek, you can visit with us at our current “Detour” location inside Spats in Downtown Berkeley at 1974 Shattuck Ave. (nearby University and Shattuck). See you all again soon.

310 Eatery, which relocated to the former Redux Lounge location in downtown Walnut Creek along with the bar Urban Alley, recently closed and a new restaurant featuring the Filipino cuisine lumpia, The Lumpia Company, has opened in its place. Check out their menu here and look for more items soon. They also deliver via UberEATS. Follow them on Instagram here.
From their website:
Back in the day, Alex Retodo’s mom started the first ever Filipino food booth for their annual church festival. Even though Alex would hook his friends up with free Lumpia, Mama Retodo taught her son how to share the Tender, Loving Care through the power of Lumpia.
Today The Lumpia Company is composed 3 former college roommates Eric Pascual, Jeff Martinez & Alex Retodo who are also known as “The Lumpia Brothers.” The brothers are on a mission to share Filipino Food with the world. Their specialty items are the Filipino style Egg-Rolls better known as lumpia, which are 100% Handcrafted and Hand rolled from their brand new kitchen in Oakland California.
