- LLizaSan Francisco Bay Area •7 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoReally wonderful place and meal for a post Valentine's celebration.We tried several small plates; crab beignets, deviled eggs, the mezzo platter and a beet & kale salad. Each was very well prepared. Our final dish was the dungeness crab pasta. It had a nice flavor but it didn't have much crab in it. Also we each had a Jack Frost cocktail, with and without alcohol and both were delicious.. We'll definitely go back again!More infoRevival Bar+KitchenPrice: Expensive• Californian• Berkeley•4.4
- MMelissaSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had such an amazing time! We ordered the Dinner Party Menu, and it was a perfect mix of everything. All of the food was absolutely delicious, and we scraped every single plate. We also really enjoyed sitting at the bar, and Anthony, the bartender made us some fantastic drinks based on our preferences and what we were eating,More infoBardo Lounge & Supper ClubPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Oakland•4.8
- SSebastianLos Angeles •13 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWho knew Oakland goes off like this? Incredible open space in what I assume is a converted warehouse. I sat upstairs, overlooking the main dining area, which was perfect. Really diverse crowd, fantastic set list by the DJ, great overall energy. Shared the Caesar salad to start, which frankly could have been half the size (it was two full romaine hearts) and the 1lb Ribeye with fries. Finished with the bread pudding. That was more than enough. Great service. Note that 20% gratuity is automatically added, which I was fine with, but just beware so you don't double-tip.More infoMUAPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Oakland•4.4
- DDavidSan Francisco Bay Area •5 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoWe came for the Valentine's Day prix fixe dinner and it was indeed wonderful food, well presented (although a little pricier than we're used to paying). The problem was the interior table they showed us to was centered between the music speakers and a party (emphasis on the word party) of eight quite near. We ended asking to be moved outdoors, but there aren't a sufficient number of heaters to take care of everyone out there, so we were a little colder than we're used to being while dining. Service was top notch.More infoStudy Hall Rooftop LoungePrice: Moderate• Californian• Berkeley•4.3
