One of my favorite restaurants in Oakland. The staff are great and friendly, they have great drinks and wine selection, and the food is fantastic. I especially like the salmon and vegetables. The gnocchi is excellent, too. To get there, you can walk from BART or take Ford GoBikes (there's a station directly in front of the restaurant).
One of my favorite brunch restaurants. The food is fresh, delicious & seasonal. I love that you can make a reservation! The staff is really nice, delicious coffee, tasty home made hot sauce & fruit preserves. I love the seasonal hash, homemade sausages, biscuits & jam! All the dishes I've tasted are good. I love the plants, floral lighting elements and warm wood decor. It's a good environment with warm ambiance.
The first time I came here was under previous ownership, and food was great but they recently changed ownership and will be changing their name soon. The food under current chef and owner is less good. Almost every thing was way too oily. I left feeling as bit sick, as everything was covered in grease. The food was not that exciting. A bit boring actually. Drinks were fantastic however. Probably won't be dining here again.
