    We were very pleased the staff offer us inside seating since we had outdoor reservations and the weather was not ideal. Thank you for squeezing us between reservations!!

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

    First time at this location. We waited 15 mins for a table even with a reservation but there was no one else waiting. Hostess was sitting with her feet up. The server, though nice, didn’t come greet us for a while, brought a wrong drink, didn’t show us a bill at the end and only stuck a machine in our hands. It’s hard to find a decent service/care in Oakland, another place who just wouldn’t take your money for granted, especially if a breakfast dish averages $17 and up.

    Great restaurant, nice service and good food. The food at the lake Merritt location is a touch better but the service and ambiance is better at the Diamond district

    The brisket French dip was delicious and was served on Acme bread. It’s not in a great neighborhood and the prices are way too high. $13 for an IPA.
