I find Sophie's review amusing. I could not be more at odds with the use of description (and spelling). My experience was as a result of our inabilty to be seated at our reservation time at a local well known restaurant in the area. I have driven by this quaint building and had often planned to dine there, but somehow I always opted for the corporate chain restaurants. Our dining experience was lovely! We arrived shortly after the restaurant opened for the evening, and per our gracious waitress, was informed that often, guests arrive later in the evening as a rule. The food was terrific! The prime rib is served exactly to order and this coupled with the freshly sauteed vegatables and mashed potatoes with a hint of garlic was more than adequate! Even better was the fact that on Friday and Saturday, it is offered at a reduced price. I love the charming and cozy atmosphere nestled within a true Livermore landmark. The service was genuine and attentive and I was equally pleased to see that our local wineries were represented in the wine offerings. Even though the Castle Rock may appear like a ""suit and tie"" establishment, guests are welcomed in shorts and tennis shoes without a blink. We now make it part of our family routine to visit as often as we can.
Pros: Wonderful Food and Service!
Cons: Not downtown and can be missed.
