- KKathrynVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •11 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoThe food was delicious and eating outside across from Lake Merritt is a pleasure! The avocado toast (with a generous serving of green salad) was beautifully prepared, as was the pastrami benedict that my partner ate (unlike many we've had, it was not drowned in hollandaise sauce but simply topped with it). My only reservation was about the eggs on the avo toast. I asked the server to make sure the yolks were "not runny." She wrote down and repeated the instruction. But when they arrived, they were totally runny. She offered to get me a scrambled egg instead - which arrived perfectly prepared. But then I was charged for it. I think if the kitchen makes an error they need to make good on it, without additional charge. Other than that, it was a wonderful meal.More infoGrand Lake Kitchen - Lake MerrittPrice: Moderate• American• Oakland•4.7
- BBrianSan Francisco Bay Area •7 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoMy wife and I are long time Yoshi dinner and concert fans, especially when Boney James comes to town. We first say him and his group perform at Yoshi’s in San Francisco many years. Since then, we always attend his Oakland Yoshi’s performances and it’s always a great dinner and show. So for 2024, thanks once again Yoshi’s for another great dinner and show. And we’re looking forward to many other great dinners and other great artist’s shows in 2025. Sincerely yours, Brian and Linda Rozier- StephensMore infoYoshi's OaklandPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Oakland•4.7
- AAmitavaSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoI went to Bardo Lounge & Supper Club on 27th December with my family. There were 5 of us. We were not celebrating any occasion. In one simple word, our impression was that the food was outstanding! Starting from the first course, the Pickled Seasonal Veg, Apple & Parsnip soup, the Fall Salad and the main entre, we devoured the food. Four out of five of us had the 6 oz, Bardo Burger, which was delicious. Incidentally, we noticed only one dish based on fish, with hardly any sea food in the menu! The service was good! All in all, this was a restaurant where we will go again and again with friends and family!More infoBardo Lounge & Supper ClubPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Oakland•4.8
