Elevation LVK

What an awesome space to go for a beautiful outdoor evening concert. A little vino, a little music, great food and conversations, oh and a bonus view of the planes landing.

Great food and entertainment. Watched the Blue Bottle Band on a Friday night and loved it! The halibut, artichoke dip and gin martini was outstanding! Great place for food, music and watching small craft airplanes land and take off.

Fantastic location, food, and service! The brand new terminal at Livermore Airport was a pretty boring place, but not anymore. This restaurant is reasonably priced and the food was great. We tried the burger and tiger shrimp on a bread roll. I'm definitely coming back! Very kid and family friendly (my girls are 1 and 3 years old). Fine dining experience that wasn't pretentious or stuffy or expensive! You have a prime view of planes landing and taking off. What a unique dining experience in the Tri-Valley. 👍🏼

What a beautiful location! Had a great dinner here. Lovely music, planes taking off and great food - what else could one ask for? We had the scallops, pan seared halibut and Chateaubriand Bouquetiere. Would recommend all 3 dishes. Loved their cocktails too esp the hard landing

Such a gem near the Livermore airport! Delicious food with lovely presentation. See the photos! I love that they have live music. We saw WithHarmony there. Beautiful singing/playing. And I love a good cocktail! Flavorful and fun! I had the Ice Man, a color changing lemon drop, and my friend had non-alcoholic Fly Me to Maui. We will definitely be back. This is our 3rd time here.

The bartenders were charging 2 different prices for the same drinks. Outside bar was less, inside bar with female host was scalping PEOPLE. We're not stupid!

Great place to take a bite, what a view with Private jets around. We even took a peak at the stage and the dance performance. Just a great evening with great weather, plenty of seating inside and outside, responsive staff. We will plan to make a reservation again here. Worth a evening dinner trip!

You get a great view of the planes taking off and landing. Great food and the wait staff are very helpful. They have DJ's come and play music. It's just a nice place to unwind. Do make a reservation because of limited seating.

We had dinner and drinks with friends at Elevation LVK last night. They had live music and a pretty packed outdoor patio, which included a large birthday party. Given that so many places are struggling with ramping bank up after the pandemic, I was really impressed with the way the staff handled the situation. Service was a little slow due to the high volume of customers, but the staff maintained a high level of professionalism and our food was hot when it came to us. I had the Elevation Burger. I have no complaints and will definitely go back. Added bonus: front row seat to the runway, so we watched the planes fly in and out of LVK.

First and foremost this is a very cool location easy to access right off the freeway, but spacious enough to be in the middle of nowhere great view of the valley and the ambience of having light airplanes right next to a party spot is definitely unique the restaurant itself and staff very friendly and courteous. The menu has some delicious items to share and eat while you're there and I've been there for the weekend day parties and I were absolutely blown away by her courteous the staff is they made everything easy even tipping because that is definitely included in the price of your bill.

Live music, great meal, great signature cocktails! Driving home from Hayward and stopped for a spontaneous dinner. Did not regret! Music was not so load that you couldn't enjoy conversation and company. Food was very good.

Very comfortable safe environment to sit back talk w/ friends and enjoy their bottomless mimosas. The wait staff are very friendly. Fun to watch planes take off and land. Great airflow for feeling safe in this time we are in. Enjoy!

Really enjoyed finding this place, right at the Livermore airport. Small but solid menu for breakfast, enjoyed the breakfast burrito, my fiends had basic eggs and bacon and potatoes, which they really Liked.

Smooth ambiance and music. I really enjoyed the live music. The service, they were kind but they were rushing a bit, like they had made a lot of reservations and needed people to get in and out in a timely manner. They even brought us the main course while we were starting to eat the appetizer so it got cold really quickly and did not get to enjoy it as much. The food was good, not great. I liked the pasta dish more than the filet mignon and lobster. The server told us that she didn't even have time to tell the kitchen the temperature we wanted the filet mignon to be cooked. Lastly the lobster had too much sauce and it overpowered the lobster's delicate taste. For the plate being $65 I expected much more from it.

The Artichoke and spinach dip was delicious.

Nice place to get some decent upscale food. Pasta was swimming in sauce and the manager was an odd duck who walked around like he was better than everyone. Overall good food/drinks and fun atmosphere. Not worth the price and the manager was not really a team player. His wait staff struggled to keep up and he just stood in their way without helping. This is a biggie for me so I likely won’t be back. Shout out to the great cover band and the reason I stopped in tonight!

I recently visited Elevation LVK yesterday 1/25 after hearing so many great things about it and decided to give it a try with a group of ladies. Initially, I had planned for a larger party of 12 but unfortunately, not everyone was able to show up. We ended up being a smaller group of five, which was still fine. Service The gentleman in the gray sweater who took our orders and brought our drinks was overall very sweet, friendly, and helpful. I don’t want to take that away from him, he really tried to make the experience pleasant. However, one thing I would recommend he work on is the strong cigarette smell on him. It was clear he had recently smoked, and no effort was made to mask the odor before returning to work. This was a bit off-putting and impacted the ambiance, but his attitude and service were otherwise great. The young lady at the bar was also very friendly, although we didn’t interact with her much. When I first walked in, she greeted me warmly and showed me to our table, which I appreciated. She even took a photo for us, after i asked which was a thoughtful gesture. I have no complaints about her. she was cool and professional. I will also add that the staff needs to be more proactive, I did have to flag them down a few times. The one in the gray sweater and the girl at the bar were looking at something on their phones at the bar, engaging with each other a lot. The guy that brought our food out was cool too. Food Now, let’s talk about the food. For weeks, I had been eyeing the green beans on the menu. I had looked at the menu online in advance and thought, "Yes, the green beans I’m definitely getting that." So, when I got there, I ordered them, and they came out looking all nice and appetizing. But I was so disappointed when I took that first bite. I even shared them with a few of the ladies I was with, and they all agreed that they were awful. What made them so disappointing was the fact that the batter had absolutely no flavor. These are deep-fried green beans, so the batter should at least have some seasoning or taste to it, but this one had none. To make things worse, they came with a dip that was just as unappealing, definitely not a good pairing with the green beans. It felt like no thought went into the seasoning or the sauce. To salvage them, I had to ask for salt, as there were no salt or pepper shakers on the table (only utensils). Once I got the salt, I added a generous amount and ended up dipping the green beans in ketchup (which came with my fries) because the provided sauce was simply inedible. As for the fries, they had potential to be good, but they were overcooked to the point of being extremely hard. I couldn’t enjoy them at all and ended up leaving more than half of them on the plate because they were too hard to eat. This was frustrating and felt like a waste of money. Whoever the cook was in the kitchen needs to work on not overcooking the fries. After trying the green beans and the fries, I regretted not ordering the LVK burger or the Caesar salad instead. Three of the ladies in my group ordered the LVK burger (with an egg, I believe), and they thoroughly enjoyed it. One of the ladies ordered what I think was the Caesar salad with blackened chicken, and she said it was delicious. Based on their reactions, it seems like those options were much better choices, and I’ll definitely keep that in mind if I return. Overall Impression I’m going to give Elevation LVK one more try before forming a final opinion. Perhaps I need to come on a different day, where there might be different servers, or even at a different time of day. Maybe I’ll have a better experience with another cook or even a repeat visit with improved consistency. As mentioned, I’ve heard great things about this restaurant, and it seems to have the potential to be a solid dining spot. The area is nice, and the setup inside and outside looks appealing. I want to see if they can live up to their reputation, so I’m willing to give them one more shot before making a final decision. I'll update this once I do.

I was disappointed with the service. We had to flag down a waiter to get a menu and order. Then my order was wrong - not that I had substituted anything - they just gave me the wrong fish. The waiter made it right. The fish was dry though. We were charged the wrong price for my husbands salad - we were charged an extra $3 which would have been fine if he had ordered extra avocado which he did not. I loved the alcohol free Fly Me To Maui. The menu was limited. There were no side dishes that I could substitute for carbohydrate because I would have ordered a side salad and an appetizer. The scallops appetizer was to die for. The band East Bay Grooveline was fantastic. I also liked the aviation related names of the drinks! Very clever. Great outdoor patio too. I saw a lot of people ordering paella so it must be good.

Very nice place with a live band and spacious outdoor seating. We enjoyed the cocktails and will definitely go back for drinks soon. The food has potential but our meals were lackluster. We had the Calamari to start and then the crab cakes and chipotle pasta.

Went for Father's day. Party of eight. Food was little slow. But everyone was fine they're busy so we understand. Server was great. And bar was great as well. We had two little guys and they enjoyed watching the plane's and helicopter. Thank you all. go and enjoy.

Nice view to watch the airplanes , but , I have to say the service is horrible, DO NOT ORDER STEAK ! I think maybe McDonald’s can make better steak if they want . I also feel that we got treated differently, because I’m the only Asian in there every table got a heater except mine . Not going back. Not recommend at all .
