- PpatSan Francisco Bay Area •18 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoEvery time we eat at this restaurant, the food is wonderful. The service is attentive and the ambience is pleasant. We had dinner with long time friends that we haven’t seen in a while and we had a lovely table by the window where we could easily talk since we like to taste a lot of things we had the french fries which are delicious and a special which was a mini crab tostada, which was also yummy we shared the hummus and the pizza and the crème brûlée for dessert. I don’t have anything to say except make a reservation this place rocks!More infoACRE Kitchen and BarPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Oakland•4.6
- SSholaNew York City •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI had a great time dining here I was able to snag a reservation the same day. What I did not pay attention to you was that the reservation was at the bar so they do sit reservations at the bar. We were lucky enough to still be able to be moved to a table, which was great because we ended up doing the tasting menu and I just wanted to be comfortable and have a table to do that. Staff was really accommodating and the food is really delicious. I definitely cannot wait to go back.More infoBardo Lounge & Supper ClubPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Oakland•4.8
