Vic Stewart’s Dining Rooms

Vic Stewart’s is housed in an 1891 Southern Pacific Railroad depot, an historical landmark in Walnut Creek. Connected to the depot is a 1909 Pullman train car, with an observation room, stateroom and private drawing rooms. During a complete and meticulously restoration of the depot and train car, specialists were commissioned from around the country to restore every detail of brass and interior wood to maintain its integrity. Woodpaneled walls, a rare 1920’s coffered tin ceiling, antiques, original light fixtures and two fireplaces add to the warmth and ambiance of the restaurant. In addition to dining in the train car Vic Stewart’s offers three separate dining areas, each with its own distinctive.
