Main Street Kitchen - Walnut Creek

This is a decent restaurant that my friend and I enjoyed for a long time. The food is great and the service is okay. After their conversion, however, they began to calculate an astronomical service fee that is a mandatory 20% tip regardless of the quality of the service. This makes our little brunch an expensive occasion and hurts my heart because we cannot afford to eat here, although it is far from an upscale restaurant. There is a small sign that warns you on the outside, but, careless, no restaurant should calculate a mandatory 20% tip. Pay your employees their right salary and don't put the burden on customers to support a difficult overpriced meal in a restaurant that is not worth it. In addition, the owner replied to my comment on their Google Business account with the most embarrassing unprofessional and immature manager reaction I have ever read. It is clear MSK does not care about its customers and I very encourage customers to avoid this location until they change their mood.

The restaurant was closed for renovations and put us in an uncomfortable position as it was Sunday brunch and ended up waiting for a table in another restaurant for over 45 minutes. Why was the restaurant over Open Table when it was redesigned.

Great food, love that you can see in the kitchen while cooking or sitting outside and watching people. Bottomless Moimosa's on Sunday are a plus and they expand in March to the next room, can not wait!

The noise level in this restaurant is beyond belief. Conversation is impossible unless you sit outside on the terrace. As we had reserved, we left an open table outside for half an hour. We ordered from our waitress (hard to find a waitress! who returned to our table after a discussion with insiders staff to tell the menus we were given by the hostess were no longer there. A nice and pleasant staff to be safe, but unless you sit outside, the noise level inside is unbearable and cannot be recommended at any level.

Always delicious food made fairly quickly, and courteous and attentive service
