This is our 3rd visit to Wence’s. On our 2nd & 3rd visit we brought friends. Each time the food was excellent. The service was great. Our fiends on this visit loved the food and plan on returning soon. One of us had the onion soup and the other the lobster bisque. We loved them. This visit and my last, I had the ahi tower which I love but would like a bit more soy flavor added next time. My husband ordered the fish & chips each visit - it is prepared perfectly. We’ll be back again!

Original Joe’s is the most iconic restaurant in SF. I’ve been a customer for all of my adult life and it never disappoints. I love sitting in the booth area, it has a art deco feel. The service is always top notch and the food is fantastic. I had the linguini pesto with prawns. It is the best pesto I’ve ever eaten; rich and creamy. That with a Caesar salad is the perfect combo. I’ll be returning soon.

Very good restaurant in downtown El Cerrito. Service was excellent, ambience nice. Food was very good. I would’ve given them five stars on the food except my chicken was a little overcooked. We had a very nice meal and time there and we would recommend the restaurant highly

Classic and delicious. The Seafood was fresh and tasty. The beef cheek Stroganoff was rich and flavorful with great contrast of the fluffy gnocchi. Great night out dinner
