MUA is known for its open atmosphere, eclectic décor, art events and, of course, its delicious food. Ideal for large parties or intimate gatherings, the spacious dining room creates a relaxed, casual vibe for guests to enjoy their meals. A large selection of wines, cocktails and beers make MUA a great spot for an evening out with friends. Family owned and run Mua was one of the first restaurants to open in what was then Auto Row in Oakland, in 2008. After their first 2 restaurants, Pastoral in Berkeley (first opened in 1982 while still students, 37 in the architecture program at Cal and San-Ju painting at SFAI) then later Soizic (Jack London Square, 1996), they wanted to shift gears from heavily curated menus to more comfort-based fare catering more to the eclectic and artistic community in Oakland. Today you’ll find people of all ages and backgrounds, from Too Short to Jerry Brown.

    We had a great experience!! Some had entrees (salmon and sea bass) while others took part in the “protein parade” and all food was delicious! The service was outstanding from beginning to end - you could tell that each employee was well trained and really liked their job despite it being the crazy holiday season. Our only difficulty was the “energetic” noise level that kept a few in our party from hearing each other. I was really glad we chose an early reservation, knowing it might be an issue for the elderly in our group.

    This was our second time at Commis we sat the bar and had the pre fix with wine pairing! It was amazingly delicious and the service as always was excellent. We enjoyed trying the new items on the menu and some old favorites. If you are looking for a unique dinning experience look no further.

    Very homey place (where Aunt Mary’s used to be)with warm skillful service. The food is great. We had the family meal for the table ($75 per person). It was fried petrale sole with lots of accompanying side dishes. First course was boiled peanuts in a delicious sauce. Peanuts were soft and yummy. The dessert was amazing. They called it a panna cotta but it was more custardy and topped with a few pomagrant seeds and a tiny amount pomegranate granita. It was very good and we ate it all even though we were very full.

    Food was delicious and we enjoyed exploring dishes we had never had or even heard of before. The waiter was patient, friendly, and knowledgeable, and made sure we were well informed on any usual aspects of a dish (like the Litti Chokla being very dry by design). The prawn pepper fry were fantastic, and the mutton ahua was so spicy but so good. The bread under the beef rib eye really needs to be cut with kitchen shears and not a steak knife, but it's so good (soaking up all the yummy steak flavors) that I have ordered it every time I eat here. The cocktails were lovely.
