Reviews for Leila by the Bay in Hercules, CA

This is the most overrated place I have ever been to in My Life first coming in we were seated by the fireplace that has the... hookahs on top of it no menus fanning nets the whole time we're there trying to eat a net got into my cocktail it was notreplaced it was still paid for management never came to apologize or replace my drink or just to see how me and my party wasdoing at that time the waitress relocated us after fanning nets half of dinner service full bill came full bill was paid themanager still never came to check on us or to ask how we were doing but walked past and greeted another couple walked back pastand still never said anything so my recommendation before you go here go to a burrito truck first better service bettermanagement. My opinion very very much overrated. ???? Read more

Beautiful but crisp day. Seated right away. Food and drinks were delicious.

I like sitting on the patio so I can look out at the beautiful bay view and watch people walk and bike ride along the trail by... the water. The food is always good here. I like the staff. Friendly, but they don't hover. Also, their lemonade with basil is anice twist. Read more

We went here on a girls trip about 7 of us. Great food, great presentation, great atmosphere. We all loved it, endless mimosas... please. Read more

The decor is nice, the regulars are quiet, the staff are downright friendly, and the menu overall is of good quality and... variety. All of that is besides the point though. This place gets and absolutely deserves 5 Stars for the following two reasons:their Burger & View. I don't know which to talk about first, they are both so exciting. Let's get to the food first. The burgeris now my favorite all-around burger in the East Bay. The meat is exceptional, the proportion is perfect. A nice big pattywithout making it so thick it overrides the sandwich. The cheese was real and tasty cheddar, and they use real butcher's baconcooked to perfection. Absolutely delicious. I would rather wait two weeks for this, than sully my taste buds with anythinginferior. To go with the burger is an amazing view of the Bay. Please look at my pictures. Instead of straining for poetry tobefit the beauty of a Leila's sunset, I will just say it is an apt companion for such an amazing culinary treat. Other notablesinclude a decently stocked bar, very friendly wait staff, and a quiet atmosphere. Overall, they provide great American ifunassuming fare, and a more than fair price. Read more

First off Muhammad my brother took care of me this morning. Being newly covert to Islam he warn me about chicken apple... sausage..and encouraged me to try the hamburger patty which was good. I want to give 5 stars but the server forgot mycappuccino about 2 times. But overall good experience Read more

This Friday I had a impromptu dinner date with the hubby, it landed us at Leila by the Bay. We had been trying to go to Leilas... again for over 2 years but the wait time would be to long. But when not planned we got a table. EVERYTHING....EVERYTHING wasgreat. The weather was perfect the cocktails were great and the food was superb. We ordered the BLUE MOON SHRIMP delicious ????! The CALAMARI was good. My husband loved the RIBEYE and the mashed potatoes. I enjoyed my mashed potatoes with corn. My Salmonwas a little on the small side. A little over cooked and needed a little more flavor. Also we must mention the GREAT service werecieved. LEILA BY THE BAY still one our favorite spots.???????? Read more
