OUR PATIO is open and is the hottest spot in the East Bay!

Due to popular demand we have increased our evening dining hours to now add Tuesday evenings for a Family/Recession Dinner. As a result "Open Mic" night has moved to Wednesday.

You can now dine with background music from local performers on Thursdays, Fridays and some Sundays. Check back our Events page to see what great performers are scheduled each month!

The Essanay Cafe was voted #1 Appetizer in the Kidango fundraising event (which raised over $72,000 for local children's nutrition)

On the last Sunday of each month we have a Vintner's Dinner series. The Longevity Wine Club partners with the Essanay Café to showcase its range of boutique California wines with a superb menu with wines being paired to each course and each dish. Watch out for the next Vintner's Dinner as Reservations are required for these events.
