The food is special. The snipper combo is so good. The service is Great. I am greatful to see a black man doing something special. Chef Smelly is the real deal.

Don't sleep on this spot!
From the minute my party of 3 were meet at the door by Tiffany (who missed her calling as a comedian) she has a wonderful sense of humor, the great atmosphere and ambience was felt immediately. The cocktails, the food and her interaction with us was most enjoyable. Will be back!

The staff was all very helpful and courteous. We tried to do a walk in a few years ago,but we had an event to go to and the wait was going to be too long. The chef definitely put his foot in it! Chefs kiss to those blackened scrimps! D-li-

If you’re ever in the Bay Area NEVER ever ever eat at chef smellys . I ordered a chicken meal and they gave me food poisoning immediately after I ate a piece of chicken. It was slimy and not cooked completely. I went to ask for a refund and the hostess went to call the owner, chef. As she was speaking to him. A extremely rude black woman middle age walked up saying she was the owner of it. I showed her receipt and she said there was nothing they can do because it was ordered from Uber. As she was talking I literally had to run out door and began to throw up the food. She was very dismissive. Non empathetic or cared that the food made me sick literally in her face. All she said is their food is always fresh, even though she witnessed me sick right in front of the door. Being in customer service myself that was the most rude and disrespectful I have ever been treated by anyone. This is what makes it so hard to support black businesses. They don’t treat people right and she had a huge attitude problem. Please never eat there . And she had the audacity to only offer if I want to take the food

Great place. Be prepared for fresh food cooked on the spot just for you! It may take longer especially if you are in a large party but it's definitely worth the wait! Great music and drinks as well. Truly an Oakland treasure!

Love this place!! Food is amazing. I was so happy to take my family out. My son enjoyed himself so much and he loves seafood. I would recommend serving non-alcoholic beers or mocktails. I applaude the bar tender. He made my fiance a ginger drink which he enjoyed I was happy about that. We celebrated my niece turning 16. We had a amazing time
