Whenever I want a solid meal with fresh quality ingredients, I come here. I usually do their brunch but I tried their dinner menu last night and was thoroughly impressed. We got the squash soup, Caesar salad, gnocchi, branzino, and mashed potatoes. Literally everything was delicious. These folks know how to cook! Also can’t forgot the fudge sundae for dessert which really hit the spot. Usually I feel underwhelmed and like I overpaid when we eat out but last night we left and thought, damn that was a good meal and very reasonably priced considering the quality of food. Ambiance is also very cozy with the brick, wood, and low light. Love their seasonal menu!
Incredible food and perfect atmosphere for a date night in Oakland. Loved the wood fire grilling food and the meals were amazing. Had a burger and a steak, both were excellent
Everything I had was high quality and not overpowering flavor. I was wearing a Grizzly Man T-shirt and the bartender recognized it, meaning that the staff here must have top quality film taste. A unique prosciutto and broccoli Benedict, and Shrimp + Grits made for a great brunch with some corn bread.
The food is really good here, but it was kinda ruined when my friend and I were asked to leave so they could turn over the seats at the bar. What a bummer, we are old college friends trying to catch up, so that really bummed us out. The food was good though.
First time here from the city and absolutely loved it! We dined for Sunday brunch and it was exceptional. The food was on point, the space was perfect and the service was incredible. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Josh, the bartender made a cosmo that was modern and better than expected. We'll be back often!
