“Had lunch with 2 of my girlfriends on a weekday and we were seated immediately. It was all of our first time there, and we loved it. We will be back to try more! Let's get into it:Menu: We came during lunch so we had the lunch menu as well as the Restaurant Week fixed menu. We didn't opt for it because we wanted to try some other items but we heavily considered it. The regular lunch menu was great - 1 page and yet had many options for us. The back listed several great looking drink options.Appetizers: Everything we ordered was extremely flavorful. We ordered the Salmon Salpicon and Bruselas El Prado to share. The salmon dish was so good and rich. We wish it came with just a few more more plantain crisps but that's our preference. We said we'd come back for that and drinks alone...unless we got the rest of our dishes. The Brussel sprouts were so well flavored and perfectly charred and crispy. I would eat that on it's own.Main Dishes: We order 3 dishes including: Arepa con Queso, Colombian Chorizo Hotdog, and Posta Negra Sando. I had the Arepa and it was a wonderful vegetarian arepa dish filled with a mix of root veggies, cauliflower and broccoli all topped with an egg. So filling. Highly recommend. I don't eat meat so I didn't eat the other dishes but my friends were not disappointed.Service: The servers were great. Very genuine interactions. They checked in on us periodically and were never far if we needed something.Ambiance: The place itself was beautifully decorated. I wish I took pictures of the inside of the restaurant.Overall, a wonderful treat to experience with friends. Treat yourself to this place! We'll be back to try more food and check out their dinner menu.Dietary restrictions: Menu states this is a gluten free kitchen. Dishes also marked as DF (dairy free), VG (vegan), VEG (vegetarian) where applicable.“

“Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, though expect small portions. The service was exceptional too, but I especially wanted to write a review because the bathroom was so amazing! At the end of the night it was still sparkling clean, and it has a bidet (!), free sanitary products (!!), and a hilarious & adorable toilet paper dispenser that made me laugh out loud. If you're a foodie or you want a fun, quirky place to share a drink and snack with a friend, definitely add Snail Bar to your list.“

“GREAT PLACE FOR HAPPY HOUR!!!! If you are looking for a happy hour spot, this is your destination! They have affordable bites: wings, oysters, fries, deviled eggs, Brussels sprouts, and they have reasonably priced wine and spirits! This will always be my recommendation for happy hour in the bay. The fries were good, and they give you a large/shareable portion. The wings were tiny and almost looked like chicken nuggets, but my friend ordered though and I didn't try them. The deviled eggs are topped with a pickled radish. I didn't try that either, but it looked good. The drinks were good and staff was friendly. Love it here! Great location, but you have to find street parking or park in the lot across the street. I took Lyft.“

“I'm so proud that this beautiful family is thriving in my city I call home. I attended a celebration for the life of my cousin but he was more like a brother "Chip" yesterday at this lovely establishment. The owners who are close friends with my cousin Al were in attendance and made sure everything went smoothly. The reason I HAD to write this review was because I thought the food was delicious and everyone seemed to have a great time. You didn't have to ask for anything. Thank you for a great afternoon and experience good luck with your business. I definitely want to do Brunch when I come back into town.“

“Late night to-go order of filet mignon pho, had to reheat the broth but debatably the best pho I’ve ever had. Adding the hoisin sauce takes away from the already delicious flavor, usually I add a little but it’s good on its own. Want to come back for more food and the bar next time. Service was fast, attentive and friendly, atmosphere was chill and looked upscale.“

“My favorite part of this establishment? The sound system. You will hear clean bass coming out of those speakers. I literally sat there, people watched, enjoyed the vibe, food and drinks. Everyone was super friendly, especially the owner. I really appreciated his hospitality. Even the security guards were super sweet. :) They were playing house music the night I visited EBXO. It was nice to see a different type of crowd here. I liked this place so much that my cousin will be hosting my bridal shower here! They have a catering menu!!! Ask about it...“

“Flight delayed equals wine flights. Am I right? Yep, our flight was delayed by a ton in terminal one. So we decided to check Vino Volo out. We tried the red and white wine flights. I love how they have this option. It's great for indecisive people like me. Had to enjoy some meats and cheese of course. Our server was awesome and attentive. Such a great way to end a beautiful weekend. Ambiance is obviously loud af.“

“Natural wine and snacks in uptown Oakland. They have a good wine selection and sell bottles to go, even my favorite Tessier from Berkeley! There's a miso sample plate from Shared Cultures and other little salty snacks and food with good bread. The service is great, they know the wines and give good recommendations. It's a nice place to have a wine or cider and chill.“

“My fav chiliquiles in the bay! Amazing vegetarian food! Everything is fresh, homemade, delicious. The place is nice inside cute decor and clean with a beautiful patio. The people who work here are super nice and accomodatingVegetarian options: They make unique grilled veggies for tacos with black beans that are super yummy. Most places just give you beans and rice if you are veggie but this place has the most delicious sauteed veggies and also things like Chile reanos and lots of veggie options both vegan and vegetarian. All of it delicious. This is the best place to get vegetarian Mexican Food! Hands down!Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options! Tacos, plates, chiliquiles are all with gf corn tortillas.“
