I was in Oakland for a conference held at the Marriot, 2/27-3/1/25. A group of us had the pleasure of finding this awesome place. Everything about it was top tier. The staff were pleasant and attentive and the food was delicious. I believe it was the owner that welcomed us with a chilled glass of wine. In spite of long lines and limited seating options, we want to thank you for providing a very pleasant dining experience.

Fantastic food, service was good but the server seemed alittle overwhelmed. Owner was very professional and was working very hard. The hard work of the staff really shows in the food they prepared. Highly recommend that grilled cheese and oysters.

Outstanding - oysters on the half shell from Baja, Mexico were some of the best I ever had, chicken liver pâté on toast was delicious, and the arugula salad with farro and smoked trout would have made Judy Rodgers proud. As would the wine list…?

Nice place to eat outside, small but appealing menu (for the price), but really disappointed with everything we ate: products (mussels were tasteless, fries like cardboard) and cooking (lack of seasoning).

We tried to eat lunch here after reading all the reviews. Unfortunately we had to leave when the server said he was unable to make the grilled cheese without arugula, since they are premade. It was for our 6 year old. There was nothing else on the menu for a child. We were ready to spend $100 on lunch, but went elsewhere. Poor experience and unlikely to return.
