Assemble - Richmond

We arrived after 3pm on Thursday. There were perhaps 5 total tables with people and a couple at the bar. Assemble has a great space to work with , a bar and plenty of parking. Today was quieter than previous visits. I still got the impression the people were new and /or the restaurant had just changed hands. The menu was the same as our last visit 3 months ago. We ordered a Mediterranean happy hour appetizer . They were out of an east brothers draft beer and a red blend wine. Our host admitted a darker beer option would be nice for winter but was not offered .The Cabernet was nice. I got the tomato bisque with a salad. The young male waiter couldn't give me a choice of dressings; when asked it appeared they have ranch but not balsamic. I settle for the chimichurri dressing, present also on my companions salad. The food arrived fairly quickly and was okay. My green salad was fresh. The presentation in the tri-tip salad was nice, but the corn seemed canned rather than roasted. The bisque was also just okay. Another side of warm pita was ordered ie a single 5 pita cut into 6 pieces . The service was courteous and adequate. One slight annoyance was how the bill amount was presented without an ability to see or review the receipt. The amount, presented electronically didn't seem to have a summary review option. It was disconcerting to not know how much was charged for the second pita, for example. Overall a pleasant afternoon in a nice location 3+ stars for.the food which may be better during peak hours .

Can't stop coming back. Rustic elegance, awesome bay view, excellent customer service, and the bar make awesome cocktails. This place is a must do. It's worth the walk around the pier. The food was outstanding. The chilaquiles egg breakfast, wow! What a delight.

Simple and casual food, quite decent. Beautiful inside in an old factory, and nice outside with bay views.

They totally accommodated us! We had 8 people and 6 dogs...so very nice..great service ..Even brought out water for all the dogs! Not to mention great food and beautiful views

I never been to this restaurant before but I think I order the wrong breakfast because it was awful I had the poached eggs not good at all but since that was my first time I probably would go back and give it another try.
