Back in May I noted that Roam Artisan Burgers would be opening in Lafayette Circle where A.G. Ferrari used to be and construction has finally begun for the planned October opening. I wonder if anything will change in the back patio area. I can’t wait to try out a Roam burger!

Denica’s Cafe – Real Food Kitchen, the Dublin based bakery and restaurant is planning on opening a new location in Walnut Creek this fall (in the Nob Hill shopping center) and are having a job fair tomorrow at their Dublin location for all three locations (Dublin, Walnut Creek and Livermore) according to a Craigslist posting here. Has anyone tried this place? What’s your favorite dish? Diablo Dish has more information Denica’s Cafe here. Thanks to a reader for the reminder that they are opening soon.

Diablo Dish reports that a new restaurant will be opening up by the end of February where the British pub The Crown used to be on Hartz Ave. in Danville. The owners also started Esin Restaurant in 1998 which is located nearby this new location (after relocating in 2008). The “gastropub concept” sounds great, can’t wait to see how it turns out!

I first noted that Hiro Sushi would be opening in place of CU Sushi at the corner of Locust St. and Giamonna Dr. in downtown Walnut Creek back in May and they have now opened. Couldn’t find a menu though, anyone try this place out? How does it compare to CU Sushi?

How cool is that?!

The other day I stopped by the pizza place Forge in Danville for a preview on Railroad Ave. They are located right next to, and accessible within Lunardi’s supermarket. The design turned out great as you can see by the photos:
Service begins this Thursday. Check out their menu here. My favorite pizza was the heirloom tomato pizza with roasted garlic pesto and smoked mozzarella. Yum!
