Shelby's - Orinda

A nice clean place. Food and service are top notch!

Excellent, high quality ingredients, meals prepared with care. I wish there were some options for vegan diners; for which we do not have to demand so many modifications.

11/3/22 The beet (yes, beet not beef) Carpaccio is a favorite and the Chef's Seasonal Special, the German appetizer, very good! 6/26/22 The Spinach and Duck Confit Salat was amazing! 2022 I like the seasonal variety of the menu here! You can see their weekly menu on their website. Easter 2022 We had today the brunch, the huge Brussels sprout salad and the Mexican Oaxaca Scrambble. A little on the spicy side and not to fill. 3/19/22 We had an excellent dinner here tonight! The small dinner salad, Beet Carpaccio, shoes ring fries with herbs and garlic, and the excellent Corned beef and cabbage. The latter made even better when served on a hot plate! 2/14/22 The Lamb Stew and Salad were excellent for me, but without vegan options on the menu is bound for us.

This place has excellent food and super friendly staff. I recommend coming here for a kick back lunch because it is off the road and has a great outdoor seating area that is quiet and has a super nice atmosphere. Tons of healthy options as well. I had the burrata and pulled pork quesadilla which were delicious but I cant wait to come back and try one of the salads as well!

This is a review for the caesar salad, which I ordered on DoorDash. Omg, it is soooooo good. The dressing is really delicious, well worth it, though the price is reasonable to begin with. It's about $11.50 for the salad. Next time I'll try it with dungeness crab salad on top. I was so surprised at the quality of the salad dressing. Sorry for underestimating any restaurant, but I moved here from New York, the home of Carbone. The caesar dressing is on par with Carbone's tableside caesar salad in terms of the flavor. The lettuce was also high quality, clean and dry, no mushy or old pieces. A $20 caesar salad for almost half the price. Yay!!
