“I️ absolutely love Pomet. The food is so fresh and bright. The service is impeccable. My husband and I️ were excited to celebrate our anniversary at Pomet tonight because we love it so much, but unfortunately our son fell really sick. I called Pomet this morning, worried that I️ was outside of the cancellation window. The only thing they were concerned about was that my son was sick. ❤️so grateful for the kindness that accompanies this amazing restaurant. Can’t wait to celebrate our anniversary at Pomet at another date.“

“The food was 10/10, everything we ordered was excellent, and was brought to us by the chef himself, who was gregarious and kind. Service was impeccable, our waiter was available but in no way intrusive. Ambience was on point and unique. Will definitely be returning to Bardo!“

“Important news flash: they do BRUNCH in addition to incredible dinners. I could write a whole post on how amazing and lovely this is as a date spot for dinner and how much I freaking love their salads and gluten free pizzas (possibly my favorite one in the bay), but this is about brunch.We had no idea they did brunch and when we looked at the menu for it online, it didn’t list any mains. But we went anyway and were blown away. I’m adding a pic of the actual brunch menu so you can see the real selection offered.Y’all, they have a BREAKFAST PIZZA and I promise it’s even better than you would imagine. Do you like breakfast? Do you like pizza? This is a heavenly chimera of two of life’s greatest joys.?? Don’t sleep on the brunch! But also the perfect date spot. Get yourself a restaurant that can do both, and support local.The owner was there during our visit and went out of his way to create an excellent experience. Also, the patio is very dog friendly ?Dietary restrictions: The best gluten free pizzas in the area“

“My server handled an entire room during a busy lunchtime shift while keeping her cool!I opted for Tacos and was able to mix it up with 1 Pulled Bison and 2 Smoked Squash served with a fresh wild green salad. Wapepah’s blue corn bread is a beautiful grainy texture and pairs great with Warm Berry Pudding. Wait…. Don’t leave without getting Frybread! Its delicate crispy exterior is perfectly balanced with its soft warm freshness, topped with a buttery finish!“

“Good food and cocktails! We've gone here about 5 times, and always leave happy. The menu seems to change throughout the year, always tempting us with a new drink or dish when we come. Great outdoor seating space. They also host different events including a karaoke night we went to a bit back that was a lot of fun.“

“The hardest thing about Burdell is that you can't eat everything in one sitting but you really want to. Tonight was our first time dining here, and we are already looking forward to going back. My husband and I started with cocktails and they were absolutely delicious. Then we had the chicken liver and waffles and we all but licked the plate. For dinner I had the fried petrale sole and my husband had the pork neck. We also couldn't resist getting the whipped potatoes, which were everything you want potatoes to be. We both loved our entrees and stole bites from each other. Very flavorful, very lovely presentation, and nice portions. For dessert we shared the chocolate puddin and it was also excellent. We were well taken care of by all of the staff and got some lovely drink recommendations that paired well with each course. We really enjoyed this dining experience and look forward to returning. We would like to do the family dinner with beverage pairing next. Love this place!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Celebrated a birthday at Ceron Kitchen in Alameda, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish!The atmosphere was wonderfully inviting, setting the perfect tone for our celebration.First up, the wedge salad was a refreshing delight, perfectly crisp and flavorful. But it was the lobster fettuccine that truly stole the show – every bite was a burst of exquisite flavors, leaving us craving for more.A special shoutout to the exceptional staff, particularly our bartender Robert, whose warmth and expertise enhanced our experience. Robert's recommendations for wine pairings were spot on, elevating each course to perfection.Overall, Ceron Kitchen exceeded our expectations in every way. We'll definitely be returning for more memorable dining experiences!“

“Fave bar in Oakland. Adventurous, ever-evolving cocktail menu. Food is affordable and delicious (didn’t know tater tots could be deep fried with such precision, lol).NO tv screens! Ambiance is “cool, cozy, librarian” and vinyl selection is deeeep.“

“I don't order chicken out, BUT NOWWWWW! Here, it's tempting to order it every time but, the other items are so dang good...I never regret not getting it. I love the pastrami sandwich, rib eye, soups, salads... It's the kinda place, you just TRUST the chefs. The bad ass side car is IT and they treat you like they care about you“

“Ordered from this wonderful place several times on our recent visit. The food is always delicious. The best paleo and AIP compliant fried chicken I've ever had! And for those that have dietary needs or preferences, they also have complete information for you!“

“We went here for brunch. Good, unique food! Service was good, staff was very nice, consistent with a chill Berkeley vibe. I tried the southern style breakfast, which was a nice healthier take on southern classics. Good flavor. The baked egg was perfect, and in a cute shape. Loved the greens and the yam, and the black-eyed peas were lovely. The cornbread could've been a bit more moist I thought, but overall enjoyed it!“

“This mac and cheese is perfect- PERFECT. When I'm not in the area, I cry. I got the cookbook for Christmas a couple of years ago and that can tide me over but of course, I'd rather it come from the OG. My absolute favorites are the pesto mac or pizza mac - both of which will rotate on and off the menu. A crunchy top is a necessity. I prefer the breadcrumbs but they have other options like hot Cheetos or chips too. Thank you for existing, Homeroom. ILY.“

“It's not easy to be a restaurant owner nowadays, but the way this place continually tries new menus, events and community-driven projects to better the food and drinks scene in Oakland is awesome, and what our little town deserves. Also, I'm burying the lede but the food and drinks are AWESOME. Deadbeat summer and mellow deadbeat for the NA folks, new items like the tots and tuna tostado slap. The burger. The burger! Phenomenal service from the staff. What more could you ask for? Come through and give them your money; you will not be disappointed.“

“This place has been my go-to after-work spot. Drinks are excellent especially during happy hour. Bbq wings never miss! And the truffle mushroom pizza is great. Not on the menu, but ordering the tater tots & making them garlic tots is heavenly. The staff and service are awesome.“

“Ordered on Doordash. The price and quality are probably the best I've ever had from the site in years of ordering. I'll be ordering from here in the future without a doubt.I got the chicken bowl with lemon thyme dressing and there's a reason it's their number 1 seller.The cashew chocolate comes in dressing containers but they're also reasonably priced.“
“This is my favorite comedy club in the Bay Area. Staff is incredible, crowds are always fun. Thank you Patrick & Lori for making something truly special! Also the food is the best in any comedy club in the country. The calamari is the best I’ve ever had, and any 1-star review you read to the contrary is from a classless bumpkin who is not to be trusted.“

“We love this place. The food is spot on, the service is friendly and we love the crowd. The food is delicious, the drinks are well-made (the bar was worth the wait) and the menu changes up now and again which keeps it fresh. Love the brunch. The mimosas are high quality where other places scrape the bottom of the bubbly barrel. Thanks to Matt Horn for giving this to Oakland.“

“The place was fun :)There was a little concert with a lot of instruments inside and that was giving quite a vibe to the whole experience.Great choice of beers - also Guinness+ cider! - and interesting choice of food. Chicken wings were very tasty. I saw on the menu that they do the desserts with beers, which should be quite an experience.“

“Loved my birthday dinner tonight! Portions small for the prices in our opinion. A scallops main dish with 3 scallops is small. Drinks were amazing, decor fabulous and great service. My son had to go eat more food afterwards as he was still hungry. Bigger portions would be good. Loved everything else! Great choices, appetizers, main dishes and creative drinks were delicious. Kind of surprised knowing they knew it was my birthday that they didn't offer me a birthday "something" to make it special. For these prices I would expect something.“

“We had dinner there tonight (3/14/24) for the first time and we will be back. They are two of the most interesting and truly delicious sandwiches we have ever eaten. I can't remember what mine was called, but it had chicken (roasted perfectly), sauerkraut, cheese and other awesome stuff on a grilled rye bread that was excellent. My bride had the turkey sandwich and loved it. But the star of the show were the Tater Tots. Perfectly crisp with BBQ sauce to dip them in and then into some wonderful real bacon bits. Every tot stayed crisp from the first to the last. The meal was worth every penny and more. Get into the Alameda location and try it. You won't be sorry. PS: The only bad part for me is that we live in Seattle and won't be back down until May. But you can bet I will be eating here then.“

“Another PHENOMENAL experience! It's Alameda Restaurant week so busier than usual but we got in at 6:30 Sat and were out by 7:10. Ordered the burger and chick sando- both have been on our minds for a while but we always get Trips Triple and it felt like we were cheating but man was it worth it! DELICIOUS! Kind of wish we got the Crab Stew/Cioppino because it's looked amazing but we have no regrets with our sandwiches and the awesome Brussels sprouts.“

“I came across this place while I was door dashing. The menu was unique and the sandwiches sounded good. I got the Tom & Jerry on a Dutch Crunch roll. It came exactly how I ordered it and tasted amazing. There is plenty of sauce on it which I love. The bread was nice and soft too! I wish there was one closer to my house. I'd probably eat here more often. Definitely gonna order again.“

“Just stumbled upon this place last night and can’t believe it was my first time! Amazing food and drinks. We got the catfish, the arugula salad and the wings and all were amazing. Definitely try the mango habanero wings if you can, not too spicy at all, but decent sized wings that are cooked to perfection and crunchy! The catfish bites were also delicious. The chef himself came out and delivered the food! Super sweet guy who really cares. Not to mention the bartender Adam who was very attentive and very kind. He let us know that they have “weirdo Wednesdays” every second and fourth Wednesday of the month where they spin punk and metal which sounds super fun. We’ll definitely be back!“

“My partner and I have been wanting to go to Rio for a long time and I am so happy we finally went. He found it tucked away in a handsome building in Oakland's Preservation Park and was dying to go because he has a fascination with places that are somewhat tucked away. While it looks small, the restaurant had nice indoor and outdoor seating. The food was absolutely delicious and filling. He had the feijoada and cleaned his (substantial) plate, saying the black beans were cooked to perfection and the combination of collard greens and yucca flour really made for a unique and delicious dish. I had the jerk chicken burrito, which was very good (albeit huge). The chicken was moist and the salsa was a really flavorful complement to the burrito. There is table service after ordering at the counter. I suspect the cashier was the owner, as he had extensive knowledge of all the dishes and offered up a few Brazilian cultural tidbits. He was very nice and accommodating to my request to hold the pico de gallo due to a food allergy. I highly recommend this spot if you can make it during the time it is open. While the menu is chicken heavy, there are fish and veggie options.“
“Best wings in the East Bay! Stopped in to visit my friend in Oakland and was pleasantly surprised.The Korean fried wings are hand breaded, tender, and nothing short of amazing. Looking for some heat though Catfish bites were absolutely perfect The cocktail list rivals any fancy rooftop in San Francisco Plenty of room to accommodate large groups. Conveniently located close to the convention center. Stop in to see Mikey or Paul during happy hour“

“One of the best establishments in Berkeley. In a city that's always busy, I felt instantly comfortable and welcomed by the warm and hospitible staff. Shilo, Felix, and Chloe went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was nothing short of fantastic. Their attention to detail and dedication to providing top-notch service truly sets Tipsea apart. Not only were the staff exceptional, but the drinks were also of the highest quality. Each sip was a delight, expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. Whether it was a classic cocktail or a specialty creation, Tipsea's drinks never failed to impress. Thanks to Shilo, Felix, and Chloe for making my visit unforgettable. I'll definitely be returning soon!“

“Came here with an old friend, we ended up staying for three hours, and we're the last to leave with a large margin. What kept us so long was the great food, the excellent service, and an atmosphere that invites long discussions.Everything on the menu looked so good, and made it hard to pick. I decided to go for scallops on risotto, and finish with a variation on New York Cheesecake. OMG, it was all soooo good.Will be back soon!“
“Great staff, great drinks, great prices... We had a class reunion here and it was the BEST!!! Stephanie the owner is amazing and will work with you and your needs and makes sure she gives you EVERYTHING you need for your event!!! You won't be disappointed coming here for a happy hour with your crew or booking an event... Love those place!!!“

“What an incredible find! By all rights this should be a Michelin 1 star restaurant. Funky, vegetable forward and friendly like AL's Place (RIP) or Cafe Olli in Portland. The cocktails were dialed-in and delicious - nothing too sweet. The dishes were symphonies of both known and surprising flavors. Was that pickled cucumber noodles under the crab salad? I don't know, but I know it was delicious! Is that fish sauce in the beef tartare? Yes or no, it's incredible!The criticism I see online of this place is that the dishes are small - they aren't, for the quality. We were more than full with four dishes between two people, which in a regular restaurant would be 2 apps and 2 entrees. That's entirely reasonable! MY only criticism is that I wish there were more dishes served heated. The Fregola was so comforting - it needs some friends!If you have a last-minute date night, this is on a very short list of excellent options. Don't miss it!“

“Didn't plan on going, found on Yelp and discovered it was a fantastic find!! Delicious quality food, excellent service and yes, we will return.

High quality ingredients. - 2 eggs anyway you like, one pancake or one slice of French toast with whipped butter and warm maple syrup, pick your meat 2 thick cut bacon strips or 3 sausage links for under $10.Service was friendly and attentive.

You won’t be hungry after finishing your meal.Parking: Flat, large free parking lot outside of restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Disability parking in front of the restaurant. Plenty of spacing between the tables for folks with mobility issues to wheel or use a walker easily.“

“Very quaint and homey coffee shop with a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere worker (gentleman wore a baseball hat with glasses forgot to ask his name and the cook was also wonderful )was very kind and informative about the food and coffee selection and they made the best cold brew (Kyoto Cold drip please try it )and burger I’ve ever had it was simple but the flavors trump anything I’ve had 10/10 would come again for the food and coffee and people.“

“Dinner with a friend was such a lovely experience. Great food. I had the baby back ribs(fell off the bone)and my friend the ribeye steak(deliciously tender). Staff were friendly and attentive. A 3 piece band softy playing jazz music in the room added to the warmth of the ambiance. Truly a memorable evening.“
“LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE. seriously, the best salad place I've been to. They load you up with the greens for a reasonable price, and it's delicious! The other things sold there are also delicious, but the salads are on another level. Could not recommend this more.Vegetarian options: All of the salads can be made vegetarian, and most of the sides and soups are vegetarian.“

“I've ordered takeout from ILava a couple times on Doordash. Their orders have been tasty, with pretty good portion size relative to the price (these days). I've had their Chicken Combo Plate (Chicken Katsu and Chicken Teriyaki), Walnut Prawns and the Curry Chicken (BBQ Chicken with Curry Sauce instead of the teriyaki sauce). Their normal plates come with two scoops of rice and one scoop of macaroni salad. Compared to some of the other Hawaiian places in the area, this is probably one of my new favorites.“

“We come here every year for my cousin's bday so he can order plain fettuccine Alfredo lol. But honestly pasta pelican is actually quite good and has a wide selection of tasty pastas for a reasonable price. The service is also great and let you have as much house baked bread as you want and it's not difficult to get a reservation, even with a large party as the restaurant is pretty large inside. The interior design of the restaurant could and a little face lift--it's giving old ship. And maybe that's on purpose for the theme but regardless I don't go there for the ambiance but go there to enjoy delicious food.“

“HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY to All My Fellow Foodies! I decided to ditch the boring old Corned Beef and kick things up a notch. Verdict? DELICIOUS Sunday Dinner, if I do say so myself! Prosciutto Croquettas for the WIN - Panko-Breaded Fried bechamel with Ground Prosciutto & Garlic Aoli dipping sauce was DIVINE. Spinach and Arugula tossed in Parmesan Cheese and their House Apple Cider vinaigrette made me feel like I was eating healthy (sort of). And let's not forget the 8oz Grilled Flat Iron Steak... drooling just thinking about it! Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes were creamy perfection, Red Wine Demi Glace added that extra oomph, and those Crispy onion Strings brought the whole thing together. CHEERS to an Amazing St Patrick's Day feast! #GRUBLYFE“

“We were greeted by a friendly staff member who encouraged us to choose our own table. Our server had a warm smile and was knowledgeable, getting us little samples of beer so we could try a couple of options. The French Dip sandwich was a big hit and everyone thought the fish tacos were perfect. Don't miss the sweet potato fries! The ambience was comfortable and casual. We will be back.“

“I eat at Pelton Cafe often with friends and family. The staff are always very friendly. Super accommodating. The restaurant is clean. Some mornings there's a line and you have to sign in on a piece of paper. Never had to wait too long. They're great at refilling your coffee.“
