Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Oakland

We had such a lovely experience at Rails! Donna is always so warm and welcoming and of course the food is on another level delicious! Will be back🤩

Unique entrees with top notch quality! A wonderful friendly hostess to greet diners and good service! We had crispy calamari with fried artichokes and Greek olives. Perfectly cooked octopus with potatoes. For entrees we chose the shrimp and grits with delightful mascarpone polenta, spinach and chorizo. My friend had the Al dente pasta with perfectly cooked short ribs. And for the dessert we had star of the show Mounds dessert with hot chocolate poured over to form a ganache shell and the special of the day dessert which was a muffin style apple crumb cake with apple compote. Soooo yummy! What a perfect meal Kudos to the chef on his “First” restaurant! Well done!

Great spot! Great food & great service. Can't ask for more!

All was pleasant but more vegetarian options on brunch and lunch menu would be nice

I had one of their specials: Halibut with Butternut Squash ravioli. The halibut was done perfectly, but the ravioli was flat, small, and nearly crushed. It was also hard and crispy. I wasn't expecting that. What I was envisioning was the halibut sitting on top of large fully puffed ravioli with a light sauce. I will not be getting that again. If you like butternut squash ravioli, look elsewhere.
