Golden Gate Bistro — Restaurant in Richmond

Why did I not know that there is this amazing breakfast place in my neighborhood, well thank to yelp now I know :). Okay so before I start my amazing story for this one, lemme give a big shout-out to the chef, I have never seen a chef so dedicated man. Thanks for being amazing. Okay so to my story, well it was moms day off and she wanted to go have breakfast, see I am a typical Denny's and IHOP person, for some reason I can't think beyond them, like I do know there's lot of places which serve breakfast but when time comes, I always end up in my typical place, so today I was like okay lemme just search. So I typed and in the results I got this place. While on my way to this place, I was like omg where am I going coz there all these factories around it and you would never think that there sits a cute little restaurant in the middle of everything. I find this place so cute and gorgeous, I want to introduce this place to the rest of the family soon. The food I ordered was amazing, no complaints and my mom loved her food as well. So we got the corn chowder soup which was delicious. They have really good menu. It was so hard to decide what I wanted. I did end up with omelette and pancakes, because that's typical for me ;) I really appreciated how the chef asked us if he wanted to make any changes to our food. We did feel like valued customers. Thank u so much for the great food and I hope to see...

My wife and I often drove past Golden Gate, noticing its positive reviews, and finally decided to try it out. We're glad we did.

The restaurant is located in an industrial part of Richmond, with lots of semi-truck activity and occasional train traffic. Despite this, there's plenty of parking and lots of outdoor space to eat.

The outdoor seating could be improved with more shade and heating. Currently, much of the front seating is exposed to the sun, which can be too warm on sunny days or too cold when the sun isn't out. Some additional umbrellas would go a long way.

The menu has a great variety of options, and the Chilaquiles were particularly good. We hope they consider adding this dish to the regular menu instead of just offering it as a weekend brunch special.

The tap selection for beers was a bit limited, and a couple of the beers were unavailable on our visit. It would be great to see them expand their tap options, especially with all the good craft beer Richmond has to offer.

Overall, we enjoyed our meal at Golden Gate and would recommend it, even with the few suggestions for...

Went there for lunch for the second time, and once again was blown away by the quality and quantity of food they served! I treated some friends who commented that the Reuben sandwich was the best they had ever had…anywhere! (And they are in their 80’s and have eaten everywhere in the SF Bay Area)! Their pizzas are made with fresh hand tossed pizza dough, and are amazing! We couldn’t resist ordering the garlic knots to take home, and even though we were stuffed from lunch…very few of the knots actually made it home! 😋 Cannot wait to try their breakfast menu. The atmosphere is comforting and welcoming, with a dog friendly patio in addition to a small indoor seating area. They have live music on Sundays, which is a nice addition. Located very close off the freeway and in close proximity to the ⛴️ ferry, so convenient to get to with plenty of street parking. Last note…this was the very first time a restaurant has personally thanked me for adding a tip to the tab. Very kind servers appreciative of my choosing their...
