Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Oakland

Excellent food in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Very enjoyable. Premium prices but worth the money.

From start to finish—wow! We had an amazing dinner at Golden Gai at the counter. Dishes we tried: - spicy cucumber salad - ginger salad - scallop roll - rickrolld roll - salmon nigiri - toro nigiri - fried soba noodles (mushrooms were insane!) - yuzu tart for dessert Everything was stellar with unexpected flavor twists at every turn. We also loved the unique stoneware and glassware! All staff we interacted with were warm, friendly, and personable. We’ll be back!

Rat ran under our table and food was good. Had a good time.

My first time back in years as I moved out of the area. It’s even better than I remembered. We had a selection of shared items and apps and all were amazing and served with perfect timing.

It was a fantastic experience and evening for my family and grandchildren. The food was delicious and amazing. It was a perfect steakhouse for our celebratory dinner. Myself and more family members will return in the spring and summer months. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable regarding the menu and food that we may want to order. He was also very friendly and kind to my three year old grandson. We could not have had a better waiter. Hope he is still at the Steakhouse during the warmer months when myself and others return. Finally, the valet parking and staff were efficient, friendly, polite and excellent. Thank you.
