Sabio on Main

“Dreaming about this tortelloni a week later! Had a wonderful dinner sitting on the patio at Sabio on Main! Pleasanton has a towny feel, do not too much movement on the street making a relaxing environment. I was also the only person on the patio, not many tables inside on a week night dinner. Shaved lacopi Brussels Sprouts Salad: perfect crunch, softness, and flavor 5/5 Sunchoke and ricotta tortelloni: 5/5 get the full serving! The half portion is a tease for how good this pasta is! Great service! Would love to go back if in the area.”

“Excellent food. We were able to get reservations, but when we arrived there were plenty of seats. Ambiance is nice. There are quite a few wines dotting the back walls. We found out the item my nephew wanted was out of season (the clam chowder), so we’ll have to come back. We tried the Caramelized Cauliflower, Brandt Beef Prime Brunch Burger, Tri-Tip Steak Sandwich, and the “Graceland” Belgian Waffle. The waffle was different, hence the subtraction of a star. Overall it was very good. We definitely should try and come back for dinner. There’s plenty of street parking and a few lots in the area.”

“Excellent 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.”

“Sabio 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.”

“Sabio on Main surprisingly was really good. We loved the French onion meatballs and the salad we ordered. The oysters were just okay — a little too small for my liking, and the vinaigrette didn’t really stand out. But our main dishes definitely made up for it. We both enjoyed our meals, and the cocktails were on point. It’s a small restaurant, so I highly recommend making reservations ahead of time.”
