“This is what we had tonight but, they have excellent food and service every time.“

“Incredible staff, very dog-friendly, terrific menu! You will be thrilled! Angela“

“Loved my evening here whilst over from England visiting friends . Live music was great!“

“Top rate place to eat. First of all the noise level is low. We had a wonderful seat for 4. The service was the best ever. Very patient and asked of several times if we were ready to order. Most places on a Friday night just want to rush you out. And then the food was so fresh and tasty. I was able to order their wonderful soup and an appetizer. Just the right amount to eat for an older person. Others had the scallop dinner and the ribs. And one person ordered a hamburger. I highly recommend the place..“

“Cutest homestyle cafe!!!! Reminded me of being in Austin. Quaint and creatively curated food with delicious flavors! Thank you immigrant cooks!!!!

Parking: Right off the freeway!

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Don't use the bathroom. Right by the kitchen.“

“Love the 🍱 of course💕always delicious and great service!“

“The brussel sprouts were quite good. The peach bruschetta was very doughy. Description had blue cheese as part of the dish but it was very sparsely added. The eggs Benedict were good but the Thai chicken salad was very bland. Dressing was very light- almost tasteless. We sat outside and it was a very nice environment. Our waiter was very nice and attentive: we'd go back but I'd look through others' reviews to see which dishes were rated higher.“

“Recently enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Postino's The food was wonderful, and the service excellent. It was a perfect al fresco dining experience“

“The burger was juicy and prepared as requested. This place is not a full service restaurant, you order your food at the counter, then they bring it to your table.
Sweet fries was very good.
The coke tastes better than the standard bottled coke as it is made with cane sugar instead of corn syrup.
Good service.

Parking: All spots in the parking lot are metered 7 days a week, but it is not expensive at all.“

“I loved everything about this place. The food was just the right amount and so creative.“

“Always an interesting experience and fun treat. Classic cocktails in a classic atmosphere. Service is on point! Food is innovative yet still comforting and familiar. Never disappointed.“

“Impeccable service, food perfection. Even the simplest ingredients, masterfully combined, make for fantastic bites! The Avocado Bruschetta is a perfect example of that. And it’s unlike any other. Simply delicious. The chicken sliders are a tradition for a reason: the house made biscuit is a revelation, and it isn’t everyone who can match that baked flaky goodness with the perfectly fried chicken. Unbelievable. I’ll be back again for that. The spicy shrimp had the perfect combo of heat/spice and sweet curry flavors. And I love the wine list!!“

“Visited Crush'd for my birthday and it exceeded expectations! The atmosphere was great and you can tell the everything is well thought out, from the decor to the tableware.

We both went with a wine flight and had excellent recommendations from Jamie. Decided to splurge on the sturgeon caviar and it was served with the perfect accoutrement, highlight of the evening. Our server Shane recommended the duck fat potatoes (the Aioli was mindblowing) and Wagyu Tartine, both were fantastic!

Cannot wait to go back, 11 out of 10!“

“Loved my birthday dinner tonight! Portions small for the prices in our opinion. A scallops main dish with 3 scallops is small. Drinks were amazing, decor fabulous and great service. My son had to go eat more food afterwards as he was still hungry. Bigger portions would be good. Loved everything else! Great choices, appetizers, main dishes and creative drinks were delicious. Kind of surprised knowing they knew it was my birthday that they didn't offer me a birthday "something" to make it special. For these prices I would expect something.“

“Outstanding restaurant, we have dined at Wood Tavern more times than I can recollect . We we rather disappointed recently when we called to make reservations for 4 for lunch on 2/25/2022 and were informed they only take reservations for 5 or more. Is this true ? If so they should so state on their web site.“

“Such a delight to come here! A hidden little nugget of great food!

The service is impeccable!!!

My husband and I shared a breakfast veggie skillet with a side of toast. Definitely get the coffee! Ate everything too quickly to get pictures!“

“Love eating on the Sun porch and the refills on the ice tea!“

“First visit. Everything was delicious. Poutine fries, a side salad, and the Pittsburgh Cheese Steak. Will definitely be back.“

“Experience exceptional dining at Jack restaurant, where the waitstaff and bartender provide top-notch service with a smile. They take the time to ask about your meal and ensure that every detail meets your satisfaction.“

“A little pricy, but worth it. Fried chicken sandwich was very fresh and flavorful. Pairing of sauce and cheese smacks. Caesar salad I had had the freshest croutons.

Parking: Shared lot with other plaza tenants totaling 50 spaces or so.

Wheelchair accessibility: No close wheelchair ramp“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Oakland! The food is amazing and so are the cocktails. The vive is is unreal!!!“

“I’ve enjoyed visiting Sunrise Bistro for breakfast. The convenient parking and manageable wait times make it a hassle-free spot for breakfast or brunch. I’ve tried a few dishes, like the carnitas and eggs, but my favorite by far is the smoked brisket and hash, which has become my go-to order. The only area for improvement would be the coffee. Better quality coffee and fresh creamer would really elevate the breakfast experience. Overall, it’s a nice place to dine in for breakfast or brunch.“

“It’s where I send everybody who hasn’t eaten there. Darlene is one of the waitresses. She is wonderful. The food is out of this world fresh organic drinks very good. Been there many times going back tomorrow with people who’ve never eaten there.“

“They have a breakfast special sign outside, I asked about it after waiting to see if they'll offer the special, they held out the menu for me to "view" it, so I was unable to get a photo. Odd. Everyday is a different special. Got no water but did order a hot chocolate. This is a very pricey place, at around 17.95 a plate. My toddler kept seeing the sign and wanted to come so we made the best of it and got the special, which was a sandwich and a single pancake on the side.“

“Delicious food. Loved the fact the food was done quickly. Loves the outside seating“

“Well prepared menu, staff are fantastic“

“This hidden gem was delightful! Everything was delicious, from the lemon and cucumber flavored spa water to the crème brûlée.“

“Great place to have dinner outside at day and night“

“One of the best restaurants in Elmwood (4/5 green stars) It’s so easy to walk right by Summer Kitchen without even noticing it. It’s a narrow shopfront with just a few tables outside and it’s easy to miss as you ponder ice cream and other offerings from neighbors. Well, take it from me – forget ice cream and get a baked item from Summer Kitchen instead! Or try a pizza, or an egg salad sandwich – possibly the best egg salad sandwich you’ll ever have. But if you are limited for time, try one of the fresh fruit pastries (galette) – they seem expensive at $12 but they are big enough for two and totally worth it! I’m giving Summer Kitchen 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact. The positives are obvious – most of the ingredients are organic and locally sourced. Everything is made from scratch and there is transparent sourcing of the meat and fish (Mary’s free-range chicken, etc.). There are a reasonable amount of vegetarian options and you can definitely find some vegan dishes too (salads, sandwich, pasta). Summer Kitchen could make the biggest environmental impact by scrapping beef from the menu – replacing it with plant-based alternatives, ideally. Beef has a carbon footprint of around 10 times that of chicken and over 100 times that of pea protein, on average. If everyone one the planet ate 1 lb. of beef per week (the US average), total greenhouse gas emissions would increase by one third! I’ll write a post illustrating all of this soon on the Green Stars Project. So I really appreciate that Summer Kitchen makes more effort than the vast majority of restaurants on improving sustainability so that’s my suggestion for the biggest opportunity for improvement – cut the beef.“

“Mama’s is always fabulous! Great food, great people. What more can you ask for??“

“The place is very dated but tje food was good. I had a double cheeseburger (no mayo or mustard), cooked perfect and plenty of fresh veggies. I didn't really care for the thicker fries but would try their onion rings next time. A bit pricey though, mine came to just a few pennies under $21.“

“Lovely venue and great service!“

“We love MSK and have been enjoying family dinners here for a couple years now. It’s kid friendly but fancy enough for foodie parents. It’s family owned and strives to carry local seasonal ingredients.“

“I was introduced to this restaurant by a friend. We decided to meet there on a Friday for their fish and chips. I shared my experience with another friend and she, just as myself, loved it
Now , I make it a point to visit at least twice a month. Excellent Food for the price you pay, not to mention the exceptional service you get from everyone there. If I could give it a 10 **********
Very well deserved!“

“This spot is the most absolute amazing food and drinks and service out there. Every single food item I had has been outstanding!“

“MAMA & Luis are the BEST One person is a racist“

“Camarones 🍤 coconut muy deliciosos me encantaron“

“BEST coffee in a week! Thank goodness. Excellent bagel and sandwich. Friendly service at reasonable price.“

“Food was excellent, unfortunately the service that are waitress give us was not good at all, she take are order and after that she never went back to check if everything was ok r if we need anything all’s, we wait for are dessert 🍮 like 30 mints until I ask another person for it 🤷‍♀️. But otherwise it was excellent place and good We just had bad luck with the person that was in charge ford are table“

“Friendly, attentive service. Perfect fish and chips, (crunchy batter, soft, moist fish, un-soggy fries), paired great with a double IPA. Cobb salad was loaded, and very fresh. Iron Horse Trail proximity gives biking and walking options, but there's plenty of off-street car parking.“

“Amazing food with a really cool vibe inside. I usually go with the fiesta omelet with hash browns and wheat toast. The staff is awesome and make you feel right at home. This is a great place to go for breakfast or lunch to relax and enjoy a good meal.“

“Staff are very friendly and polite
Food is amazing
The French toast are very unique
Definitely recommend this place and if I’m ever back in town I will definitely visit them again
It’s a good spot to let time go by if you’re waiting for events and they are kid friendly“

“Loved our lunch today ! Bison stew with fry bread and bison meatballs. Hibiscus tea was awesome. Staff was so incredible. Busy and very full today. Great atmosphere.“

“Great local eatery with delicious beers and wonderful taps. Joe, the owner, is one of the most sweetest guys you’ll ever meet. Highly recommend!“

“we love the vibe, service and menu at GLK on Grand and have been going there for years. On our last visit we were surprised by how salty the food was. I think the cooks are overly generous with salt. Both our brussel sprouts and the scallops were really over salted. Next visit we will be sure to order low/no salt, and send back anything that's too salty.“

“What a lovely surprise to find such tasty, healthy food so close to home, friendly staff, on time! Lightly cooked but high-protein and *yummy*“

“Great food!“

“Very nice and friendly staff😊“

“I hardly ever leave reviews, nevertheless I couldn’t help but to notice I agreed with a lot if not most of the reviews. First and foremost it is a great local bar the atmosphere and the vibes are great. You always feel comfortable and welcome by anyone ever there. I do have to acknowledge, however that the service sometimes can be slow and sometimes it takes me a good 5 to 10 minutes to be acknowledged while at the bar for a drink. I think this would be my only complaint. for some reason service sometimes for a drink can be a little slow. I must admit the bartenders here are some of the best. The cocktails are always tasty and delicious and I like the attitude they all greet me with every time I come. My favorite bartenders here happen to be JOSE and ERIC 👌🏾👌🏾“
