GoogleSabio on Main, a Michelin-recognized contemporary Californian restaurant, is nestled in historic downtown Pleasanton, California. The interior is beautifully decorated, and the restaurant boasts an impressive wine selection along with full bar service. We arrived for dinner and were seated on the outdoor patio. The setting was pleasant and private, situated next to the sidewalk but covered. Guests can choose between an à la carte menu or a Prix-Fixe Dinner. We opted for the 4 Course Prix-Fixe Dinner. For starters, I had the Cauliflower Gruyere Soup, which was delightful with a hint of chili oil. The pasta course featured Fennel Sausage Risotto, which was both flavorful and satisfying. My entrée was the Brandt Beef Prime Flat Iron Steak, cooked to a perfect medium-rare. While it wasn't as tender as I had hoped, it was still enjoyable. For dessert, I had a slice of pie, which was quite good. I also like the mocktail, they have some on the menu. I went home full and still need to get some leftover to go. Overall, it was a delightful dinner experience, enhanced by the excellent service we received. Some issue with the heating as they cannot control the temperature so sometimes it was very warm.

GoogleThe food at Sabio on Main was very good — flavorful and nicely presented. However, it took a long time for our food to be served after we placed the order. We didn’t have to wait for a table, but the only seating option was at the bar. Overall, we enjoyed the meal, but service was quite slow. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time for a better dining experienc

GoogleExcellent service. Easy 5 stars there. Not rushed.Atmosphere can be a bit noisy, but there are different areas around the restaurant. Great food overall. Miso Cod, Flat Iron Steak, Duck Config Cassoulet. I'd skip the steak especially at the price. Definitely make note of allergies to the waiter when you order. While the menu is well labeled, they still put a wheat "crunch" on my wife's dish despite it not being labeled as having wheat and not listed in the ingredients. Fortunately they were able to make a quick correction, but don't just go off the menu - tell them. Wine is excellent, but they need to get some $10-12 glasses on the menu and not just $20+ (and only $70+ bottles, though the markup wasn't bad on local wines). And $14 cocktails. Maybe they're targeting a clientele that doesn't mind the price, but it makes me hesitate to become a regular.

GoogleHappy Hour osyters were disappointing. No flesh at all, just scraps of skin. Thought its just a bad batch, ordered another half a dozen. Equally bad. *see closeup photo. Main course for dinner is awesonely delicious though. Just skip happy hour

GoogleWe went to Sabio for brunch a few weeks back and we were the only table there. The server was not rude but I feel like he was more interested in resting that attending to us. We had to wait a while before we got his attention and when we had questions about the menu, didn’t seem thrilled answering them. The food was great though.
