Re: “JD's Restaurant and Pies”
If you want a great Reuben or french dip, you have found the place. This is not the oily metallic looking meat you can get at some chain restaurant. The meat is delish and tasty!
Re: “Skates on the Bay”
I loved the clams and mussels at happy hour. And the Margharita was sweet and potent. Long live happy hour. Seeing sailing and motor boats as well as birds and people gliding by on their gliding apparatus was a wonderful plus.
Re: “Gaumenkitzel”
Fresh and local! so far had breakfast, lunch, and (early) dinner there. While the menu reads quaint and descriptive (typically German!) all dishes were absolutely fabulous and delicious, and surprisingly reasonable.
The salmon was buttery and melting in your mouth, with a nice crispy pan-seared crust on top. The rainbow chard (usually not my taste) was surprisingly flavorful, slightly on the spicy side (good!), and with great texture.
All breakfast choices were fantastic - try the jams and meats! Delicious home-made rolls, with tasty and zesty marmelades, soft and flavorful cheeses, and buttery eggs from the oven with home-made quark. Yummi! Together with the very kids-friendly service and environment a great place to go - alone, with my family, with friends.
Re: “Disco Volante”
Lousy service - and they do not keep their committment to the musicians and pay them what was agreed upon in email.
I do not recommend this place as I said, the owner Damon was rude - demanded I give up the table I had been holding waiting for a friends to join me for dinner - no sooner did I give up the table when my friends came in. Because I had one of my artists performing their that night and had asked several people to come out to support I could not very well leave - we wound up standing in the back eating dinner standing up at the end of the bar - when I had sufficient seating for us - just 5 mins before their arrival! I had promoted telling my friends to come out and support this new business! DO NOT SUPPORT THEM!
Damon agreed to a $10 cover for the bands I booked - and refused to charge more than $5 - I understand venues are hurting - but when you agree to something you must keep your word - I even reached a compromise and communicated with the musicians - they still did not honor their word on the compromise - he was insulting to me - insulting to the musicians - and I strongly advise not going here - the only redeemable thing about this place are the corn nuts!
Re: “Cock-A-Doodle Cafe”
GREAT CUBAN FOOD...RIGHT HERE IN OAKLAND!!! FInally, my prayers have been answered. A friend told me about this place, so I decided to check it out. I showed up almost at closing time and to my surprise, I was greeted warmly by Sandra and Fermin, She runs the restaurant, he cooks heavenly authentic Cuban food. And I do mean authentic. I was born in Cuba, so I know what I'm talking about. Were it not for the fact that it would have been very unseemly I would have licked the plate clean when I finished my lechon asado. We're talking lechon the way my grandmother and mother did it. Dios mio, it was good. And the tostones....ahh, I could have eaten 3 more plates of them. Sheer pefection, with a little mojo sprinkled on top! They're open for dinner Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I can't wait to go back again and introduce my friends to this little slice of Cuban heaven in the East Bay!

Re: “SaWadDee Thai Restaurant”
The fresh spring rolls are the best I've had anywhere. We always come back because the food is so good and reasonably priced. Staff is attentive and friendly.
Re: “Camino”
Always the best. A special place like a refuge from the usual high end bay area restaurant scene. Go for something grilled on the open flame. Tops.
Re: “Flora”
This place was a DIVE. Tall blond waitress hit on my date and gave my date her phone number. Wrong food. No water after it was Reordered. DIVE. BAD SERVICE. Customer had to Leave HUNGRY.
Re: “PIQ”
This place is just like the cafes in Florence. The food is superb! The coffee is fantastic! And I'm not even a coffee drinker. I'm totally hooked.
Re: “Miss Pearl's Restaurant & Lounge (at the Waterfront Hotel)”
We went with a group of friends a few weeks ago. Very funny comedians. Laughed like crazy. Easy to get to, great dinner first, service wonderful. drinks during show. Looking forward to going back!
Re: “Thai Delight Cuisine”
Thai Delight is a place for Authentic Thai food. The decor is very attractive, and waterside alike.
Re: “The Bistro”
the best pub for micro brews and IPA'S add the fact they have live music every night with no cover charge and you have a great place for nights out or just to drop by for a beer
Re: “Cinnaholic”
When I first passed this place I was drawn inside by an overwhelming fragrance of cinnamon. I was able to create my own cinnamon roll with decadent caramel frosting and then topped with chocolate chips and cookie dough... Wonderfully "CINNFULL"! I go back all the time now. You should go!
Re: “La Estrellita Cafe”
