Best Restaurants with Private Rooms in Oakland

Our second time dinning at the new breakfast eatery "The Peach" and this has def became our new weekend spot. Reservations are highly recommended especially if you are a late riser. Kao was our server and honestly he made our breakfast experience 5 stars. Thanks Kao! He let us tour upstairs & gave us some of the history of how the new restaurant came about. I haven't written a yelp review in over 6 years and felt compelled to rave about this new place. Ambiance - 5/5 cozy, cute, & trendy. The patio isn't open yet due to weather but next Spring is around the corner! Food - 4.5/5 the flavors are amazing and unique to the non Asian fusion palate--like my bf. His go to is always shrimp n grits, happy to see this place has a take on it. If you're a fan, TRY THE CURRY SHRIMP & CONGEE!! Their pancakes have a slight lemon flavor and tbh I crave these along with the chicken Chinese sausage all week. I guess my only draw back is the inconsistency, although very minor. First time dinning we got a 3 stack of pancakes for $5, this time we just got one. First time dinning I almost got no salad. This time the salad was abundant (a plus). A new place like this will figure out the kinks and we understand cooks & servers are learning a new menu. Lobster toast was fresh and delightful. Nice large chunks of poached lobster with aioli drizzled w/dill atop. As a shareable this was a nice touch!

Skates on the Bay in Berkeley provided a delightful lunch experience today as I caught up with a dear friend. We started with the artichoke and crab dip, which was rich and creamy, featuring generous chunks of fresh crab. It was served warm with toasted baguette slices, making it perfect for sharing while we chatted. For my main course, I enjoyed the salmon sandwich, which was a true highlight. The salmon was flaky and moist, topped with creamy avocado and served on a toasted brioche bun. The presentation was impeccable, making it almost too pretty to eat! The service was attentive yet unobtrusive, with our server offering excellent recommendations. The restaurant's waterfront location provided stunning views of the San Francisco Bay, creating an inviting atmosphere for our leisurely lunch. Overall, my experience at Skates on the Bay was exceptional, combining fresh seafood, beautiful presentation, and attentive service—an ideal spot for enjoying great food with friends!

We love the pizza and atmosphere at Marzanos. The food is good and the service is great

Service was great! Everyone was friendly and attentive

Lovely lunch! Always the best potato salad. Minestrone soup was good although garbanzo beans were kinda crunchy. The donuts are a hit!
