The Orchards at Walnut Creek
SoCal based California Fish Grill is coming to the Orchards shopping center at the corner of Ygnacio Valley Rd. and Oak Grove Rd. in Walnut Creek. Check out their menu here.
From their website:
The ocean is our backyard. It’s part of who we are. At California Fish Grill we believe it should be easy to enjoy healthy, delicious seafood, at a great price, as often as you want. This is precisely what Victor Topete, founder of California Fish Grill, found himself thinking in 1998. Since then, we’ve been grilling and crafting delicious, healthy, seafood favorites for our growing family of loyal guests. Pledged to have respect for the ocean, we promise that our seafood can be enjoyed for years to come by partnering with reputable fisheries that provide only the freshest wild-caught and responsibly farm-raised fish.
You’re among family and friends now. Savor our open kitchen as vegetables and herbs are chopped, fish is hand battered, and meals are cooked on our signature flame grill. Open a bottle of wine and enjoy an appetizer, while we cook and prepare everything by hand. It’s hard work… but for us, it’s worth it.
355 Hartz Ave, Danville
Last month we learned that a new DIY creative studio called AR Workshop would coming to Danville and they have now opened. As you can see in the photos below the color scheme nicely compliments the wood accents throughout the store. In addition to workshop classes they also have a small retail section in front and are planning on getting a liquor permit soon. Check out the projects here. When I dropped by I saw they have a special $10 “GRANDOPEN” coupon expiring June 1st.
From their website:
Register for a DIY workshop to create on-trend home decor from raw materials such as wood signs, canvas pillows, wood framed signs, bottle openers and more. Enjoy a girls night out, date night, team building event, private party or birthday party at AR Workshop where you can enjoy an inspiring atmosphere.
