Casa Orinda

A step inside Casa Orinda is a step back in time. Although it’s just
around the corner from the Orinda Theater, the Casa lives in a
different era from downtown’s suburbia. The restaurant and bar opened
in 1932, and its current decor and ambiance offer elements from the
1930s through the 1970s, at which point time mostly stopped within the
Casa. The restaurant’s bar and dining rooms offer a supper-club vision
of the valley’s cowboy heritage, with a ranch theme that’s warmly
stated in the cozy main dining room by oil paintings of the Old West,
copper decorations, wagon-wheel chandeliers, and a central fireplace.
The back rooms are quieter and provide an opportunity to peruse the
Casa’s impressive collection of firearms. Hearty meals — pasta,
broiled steaks, veal, and legendary fried chicken — are served
with potatoes and biscuits on Western-themed china and place mats
ringed by vintage brands. Though Orinda’s four-way stop, then known as
the Crossroads, is long gone, Casa Orinda lives on to provide an
inviting place to sit a spell, chat with friends or strangers at the
vintage wooden bar, and chow down in the dining rooms. The Casa is open
for dinner seven nights a week and offers valet parking if you don’t
like to hitch your horse to a public post.
