Saddened to learn that they are no longer doing take-out or a full dining experience. While they are keeping the bar open, this has been a favorite place for our family for the last 5-6 years.

Excelente familiar place to eat, my family and I had a great time. Good food and desserts. We had a great time, will come back, we were 6 plus a 3 years old. Eating inside in a hot day but it was great
What's not to love about Shakewell? Amazing food, cocktails, ambiance, and above all, the incredible staff! Shakewell has become a staple for the Lakeshore community, and I am beyond sad to see them go. Honestly, the best churros in the bay, and I've had my fair share!
The food at Shakewell is excellent. The indoor seating was very crowded and noisy. Fortunately, the weather was mild so we could eat outside. Unfortunately, Shakewell intends to close at the end of August. I hope they change their minds.
That's one place I'll never get back to. Ordered the shakshuka and I got so thin layer of sauce that I literally scrpaed it together with the pan it artived on and it was waybover cooked as well as what my friend ordered, ridiculous amounts and quality for the over priced items ordered. The waitress looked like she just can't wait for her shift to be over, didn't check up on us once and ignored us for the most part. Music was over loud and drinks were worse than terrible.
Oakland has much better places to offer, avoid this one.

This was to be Shajewell's last brunch under the management. Everything was excellent!Food, service,atmosphere. Love the vibe here! Always my Sunday brunch spot! Please don't close!?❤️??
The delicious meal of seasonal fruits and vegetables was as enjoyable as the conversations with our thoughtful hosts. Thank you for providing enduring memories of place, food and people that will last a lifetime.

The service was impeccable. The hostess and waitstaff were so helpful, friendly & happy! The live music was wonderful and not invasive. We ordered the falafel bar bites and the falafel was creamy and beautifully seasoned and came with tzatziki & tahini. The Greek salad was very tasty. And then we had the wood oven roasted salmon with fideos & roasted squash in a lemon caper sauce and the cheeseburger with fries. Both were delicious, and we took food home and enjoyed it the next day.

I went and had the same plate and drink three different times all at different prices. When asking about the differences they're excuses were that they don't know their pricing? Not going back as it turns out to be a crapshoot as to what the bill is going to be. Just check the menu prices and ensure it's what they are putting in the check.

I have been their three different times in the past couple of weeks and ordered the same meal. Everytime the price fluctuated between $15-20, they're explanation was they didnt know the prices?
The food and service were disappointing. Steak frites with a wet sad grey steak, wet soggy fries. Falafel was very dry. Papas Bravas in large pieces with no crunch. Not worth what we paid for the meal.
Their paella is well worth the wait. I also tried other dishes, all excellent, including the dessert (crème brûlée)
Vegetarian options: The baby lettuce salad, surprisingly good, with intense flavoring and carefully thin-sliced cantaloupe and cucumber.

Seated promptly inside. Server was professional yet casual - good combination. Answered questions, made sure he understood our order. French toast was very good, as was Shakshura. Only complaint was the noise from the music - too loud, especially for 11 in the morning.
