Tips from locals
Another nice addition to the Oakland restaurant scene. It's hip but unpretentious and delivers where it should: the food and drink menu, the ambiance and service.
It's actually got some very very decent bar food too. When the weather is kind, their outside spot is a definite winner!
Brunch is a treat with outdoor seating, yummy eggs, 7 kinds of french fries . Live music Friday and Saturday evenings. A very short walk away. Local scene. I've enjoyed late lunch outdoors under large umbrella in the sun.
