1360 Locust St, Walnut Creek
In the spring we learned that Oakland-based German-inspired beer garden and restaurant Bierhaus would be coming to downtown Walnut Creek where Lark Creek used to be and their Coming Soon signage is now up. Look for an October opening. Check out their food menu here and beer menu here.
The Veranda, Concord
Thanks to a reader for pointing out that another Brazilian steakhouse is coming to Concord, this time to The Veranda. It’s called Texas de Brazil and their menu is here. Note the above photo is not necessarily the actual restaurant location.
From their website:
Texas de Brazil began with a dream in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Enjoying the rancher’s life and feasting in the rodizio style native to the region, one of our partners had visions of bringing churrasco culture north to the United States. He wanted to share this unique way of dining where guests indulge in a parade of meats and extravagant seasonal salad area.
The destination for this restaurant was none other than cattle country…Texas. After all, the traditional steakhouse of Brazil blends perfectly with the service and class of the Lone Star State.

The Shops At Bishop Ranch, San Ramon
Thanks to a reader for sending word that the restaurant Sajj Mediterranean, featuring Middle Eastern cuisine, is coming to The Shops At Bishop Ranch (where Target is) in San Ramon. Check out their menu here.
From their website:
All of our produce is locally sourced and our halal proteins are free of antibiotics or hormones. It’s the sight and aroma of SAJJ, pita, falafel and shawarma being made in front of you. It’s exotic Mediterranean entrée choices you can customize any way you want. It’s authentic sauces and flavors you won’t find anywhere else.
Twin Canyon Shopping Center, San Ramon
In the spring we learned that Round Table Clubhouse would be opening where Giuseppe’s used to be at the Twin Canyon Shopping Center in San Ramon and they have now opened. In addition to an arcade this location has an 18-tap self-pour beer wall which looks pretty darn cool. Check out their menu here.

The boba cafe Sharetea is coming soon to Orinda where Sleepy Cat Books used to be, across from the Orinda Theatre Square. Check out their menu here. Anyone know how this compares to iTea in Moraga?

Established in 1992, Sharetea started off business with to-go black tea and pearl milk tea drinks in Taipei, Taiwan. Since then Sharetea has opened many branches and franchises in 18 countries such as United States, Canada, UK, Australia, Singapore, Indonesia and over 450 stores.
