Roxx On Main

So first of all it was my birthday. I was wanting something different from eating out. I live in the east bay area, I wanted to go somewhere small and quiant, this popped up when I was looking in downtown Martinez, I have been here but never stopped to eat. My birthday was the time to explore and try some great food. When I arrived to the area the parking during the week was easy. When we arrived we choose what ever seat to sit which was right up front so we could see the street and the passing pedestrias. It was like our own little nook. We started with drinks and I had to try the rox a rita with the help of our waitress Ryan which she was a very sweet and amazing hostess as well. The drink was smokey,delicious and the fruit was fresh and really stood out in the drink. The appetizers where polenta and a cheese platter. The polenta was delicious but that fried cheese was spectacular( we love our cheeses). The cheese platter was eye pleasing and tantalizing to the eyes. There were blue cheese and some local cheeses that were very delicate to taste. When the waitress told us about the special, the crab melt was mouth watering to the description she gave us. The other main dish was a veggie burger which was definitely not like other places. The crab melt tasted fresh and the side salad was perfect, simple and delicious both complimenting each other very well. The veggie burger was soft but the spices that were used in the dish with some fried tatter tots was perfectly paired ( beautifully crunchy) they we equally fulfilling. We talked so much because it just feel so easy the whole time. Nice and calm and simple. I could feel the sophisticated touches throughout the restaurant but it wasn't to much. I was also told that the weekends they have live music and you can really enjoy a meal with entertainment. The bartender I almost forgot but how could I, her cocktails really were great and I could go back for many more just to see how she mixes these potions that fill your mouth with a surprise like no other bartender has done before ( I have been to many restaurants throughout the bay). The bartender said she has been a bartender for years and it shows. I feel like I might be going far with this description but I can't leave out the details because it was a special evening and they made it great and wonderful. By the time we left the restaurant we said goodbye to the chef, her crew and I had told her whatever you are doing right now its working very well together, it's amazing I couldn't believe the way all the things I have eaten made my mouth dance with happiness. I haven't felt in a long time like this and it was magical...... you need to come if you are looking for something like this!!!!

GREAT FOOD! Excellent menu. A little bit of everything. The salads are so well put together with fresh dressings. Exciting dessert menu. My favorite salad is the roasted beets with local goat cheese. The crab quesadilla is fun. The smoked turkey and avocado is big and juicy and the tater tots are cooked lightly brown to perfection. Seriously, order anything, you can’t go wrong.

My husband and I both ordered the crab melt, based on a recommendation from a friend. My goodness, was this delicious! You taste the sweetness of the crab, which is not lost in breading or other additives. I ordered a side of salad and my husband ordered the tater tots. He had envy and felt he ordered the wrong side. He's never felt that way about a salad. The tater tots were delicious and by no means not a great side, but that salad was so fresh and delicious! We have already planned our next visit. Oh and can I say too the service was on point and super personal. Go if you haven't!
