Went on a Saturday night. Great food, quick service, but very small portions for the price. The calamari was delicious, but... several other restaurants within a few blocks offer calamari at a lower price or much larger amount. The menu on the website hasoutdated pricing, but I attached the menu from when I went in Aug 2022. Many of the restaurants in downtown Walnut Creek,including Vanessa’s, offer great happy hour menus/prices though. I’d recommend this place for happy hour. The Moscow mulewas good, had the perfect amount of “kick”. Spring rolls were also good and the bean sauce was also a bit spicy butdelicious with or without it. Read more
This place is bad in too many aspects. I feel I'm pretty generous in my reviews very rarely do I leave a 1 star but this meal... for 4 cost me 160 ish and gave me food poisoning. The food itself along side being expensive was bad. I usually like to leavealternatives in my recommendation but I only know one place in sanjose that serves similar food that isn't bad. The bahn mi wasabout 90% bread and 10% crab. The fried chicken was decent but they clearly cut the chicken so thin to make it seem like it'smore than it is and as a result dried out the chicken. The spring rolls were chewy and was more rice than roll. If you see thisreview GO SOMEWHERE ELSE even if you're looking for Vietnamese food look else where. Read more
My first time having dinner here at Vanessa Bistro with a French Twist. The food were delicious. We ordered a slow oven roasted... pork, fresh prawns spring rolls, vermicelli noodle salad & Lychees martinis. Yum! In addition to the delish food. The staffwere very pleasant, attentive and provided us an excellent service! I highly recommend this place. ???? Read more
Best French-Vietnamese Tapas around. Service, Food, Wine Selection and Drinks are amazing. The atmosphere since the... freshen-up/interior botox facelift gave the place a much more mature and finished feel. Swanky Lounge area is comfy and nice forlarger casual groups. The upstairs is great for Private Parties and gatherings!! Read more
Came here with a friend and had a legit dinner. The lemongrass chicken was unreal. It had a peanut sauce that was delicious. The... chicken wings were a close second. I know what you’re thinking, “If I wanted wings, I’d go to BWW.” These are not thosewings. These wings have a flavor touched by the food gods. While the prawns and the tacos were good, they were missing a littlesomething, so I added the sauce from the lemongrass chicken and that did the trick. Overall atmosphere was legit. I’ll def goback.

Attended a private event at Vanessa's Bisteo 2, and I loved the ambience! Service was excellent, and appetizers and drinks were... fabulous. The space inside is intimate, and there is also seating available outside. Read more
