Across the board brilliance! From stepping in the door... the lovely woman who was happy to seat us (even tho we had no reservations) to the professional and courteous wait staff (we weren't straight forward and she was so gracious) -- very down home feel--- food was fab. Can't wait to go back!
Had the mussels and Brussels sprouts, both were served quickly and fresh from the kitchen. Very flavorful and prepared nicely. The old fashioned was mixed in good proportions. Great service and atmosphere although it was a bit loud and I wished I could hear the live jazz band better over all the talking. Would love to try the braised ribs or ravioli next time.
Historic restaurant in Emeryville. Great venue for families searching for good food and a great atmosphere. This restaurant has a lot of history so it's more than just a great meal but also like a museum visit for kids. The food was very fast and quite delicious. The pork chop, wings and Brussels sprouts were especially nice and the service was very friendly. Highly recommend!
Loved the corned beef hash for St Patrick's Day dinner -- so tender. I would not get the wings again -- $17 for 6 pieces is too pricey. The drinks were great -- Manhattan and a zoni spritz. Will return. Will have to hear the story behind the storied building that was once a speakeasy.
We ordered the pork chop & applesauce, grilled angus ribeye, brussel sprouts, baby back ribs, and “fisherman’s cioppino”. Food: 3-4/5 depending on dish Service: 4/5 Ambiance: Casual vibes with a elevated cozy ambiance Value: 3/5 The best dish that we agreed as a group, was the angus ribeye, followed by the cioppino. The cioppino primarily for the flavor of the soup/sauce. However it wasn’t like the ingredients were super fresh. The ribeye was cooked well, but again wasn’t a steak that you would feel like this is an “amazing ribeye”. The ribs were by far the least favorite. They were dry. While it was still an enjoyable meal, food was overall a miss for us. Service: friendly staff, only reason I took a star off is because they could’ve been more attentive with drink refills. Some slack because the restaurant was busy. The ribs did come out with the wrong side and the restaurant did give us the correct side in addition at no charge so that’s good. Value: while pricing aligned to what I expected it to be, for what you are paying, I’d probably eat elsewhere. I would come back, but would try other restaurants first.
