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

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

“When everything goes right!! Friendly happy welcoming staff. Great food and cosy atmosphere all over. My Mexicali burger was perfect. The ice tea was delish. I need to call them and ask what tea they use as I’m a tea snob. The final icing - a big slice of complimentary coffee cake that is the bomb. I’ll be back.“

“Our party of 3 had a lovely lunch on the patio to celebrate a birthday. The food was very good... quiche and crab sandwich as well as the desserts... bread pudding and special dessert for the birthday girl. The service was very slow, and we rarely saw our waitress unless we asked for her. The noise level on the patio was very loud. We would come back again despite the short falls.“

“Wonderful local restaurant (free parking which is now unheard of these days). Great service, atmosphere and changing menu keeps it interesting and fresh! The ceviche is excellent, bolognese is fabulous and authentic, duck spring rolls are amazing and the best burger and fries in town. Good cocktail and wine menu, outdoor seating with heatlamps .Always dependable!“

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

“Best burgers around! They have just such incredible depth of flavors in their burgers. The Seasonal burgers are phenomenal!

They have great fun sodas they make in house. The service and atmosphere are top notch . Been going here a ton lately. They also have great gluten free buns!!!“

“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.“

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

“Great food friendly staffs nice variety menu“

“Clean and welcoming environment. Consistently top notch food with warm and personable staff. My guys Alex and Luis know my order by heart, even when I order online they have my bag prepared perfectly from memory without me having to ask! Great customer experience to have staff that treat you like a personal friend.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Really liked this spot. I like the ordering system. I was greeted warmly by the two employees I initially had contact with. I had the biscuit breakfast sandwich, very filling and the biscuit was so good. I had one pancake and man was that delicious! The parking is also a plus. Will definitely come back to check out other options!“

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

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

“I really enjoy a beautifully cooked piece of salmon, which is not easy to come by. Quite often when I order seafood out at a restaurant it is overcooked. I can guarantee when I go to Roxx on Main. My salmon is perfection. Moist tender and juicy like it should be. I do enjoy her menu, which is very versatile.“

“JP Bistro in Martinez is a total win. Fun, down-to-earth owners, fresh ingredients, and consistently delicious food. Portions are solid, prices are fair, and the menu has something for everyone 😉 plus adult drinks if you want 'em. No need to dress up, just come hungry. Low-key vibe, top-tier flavor.“

“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.“

“My son and I just had lunch at this place. The workers were very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was spotless. The food was oh so good! I had a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings. Next time I am in town, I will definitely go back again.“

“Have a good variety to please everyone“

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

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

“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*“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Very good food nice place and relaxing atmosphere 👏❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Camarones 🍤 coconut muy deliciosos me encantaron“

“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!“

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

“Everything about this place is a 5“

“I was hungry and decided to give this place a try. They did not disappoint. I ordered the heart attack omelet with hash browns and I left full. It took the waitress using both hands to bring me a plate, keep that in mind when you order. The portions are generous but not excessive, and the food is excellent. It's so good I even got an order of biscuits and gravy to go. Between the omelet with hash browns, the biscuits and gravy, and 3 glasses of tea my bill was less than $40. If you're ever in Martinez and want a good breakfast or lunch you can't go wrong with this place. The staff is on point, the food is worth writing home about, and the atmosphere will give you a good pat on the back.“

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

“I went to brunch with my girlfriends we had great service wonderful bloody Mary we will go back the food was excellent“

“Came here to celebrate this summer and had Nick as our server, returned tonight and asked for him again! He’s absolutely the best 👍🏻 great food, great location and fantastic service, just ask for Nick!“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious! The steak with mushroom gravy melted in my mouth, and the mashed potatoes were perfectly creamy. Special thanks to our amazing waiter — the guy with the eyebrow piercing — he was on point: friendly, fast, and just awesome!“

“Love the live music of the Ripplers And Secret Sauce!“

“Super friendly owner and waiter, also amazing quesadillas and always very willing to do modifications!

Also at the bottom of their menus it seems they recently added that they only cook with beef tallow now so if you're into that sort of thing, this is the place.“
