Do yourself a favor and book a counter seat by the open kitchen. It makes for a great date night to watch their craft in action while enjoying the results! Read more.
Seriously amazing and really a great deal. You think you won't leave full but you are stuffed by the end. Phenomenal.
Tried Commis with the wine pairings. Disappointed :( I really wanted to love the place!
First time there and loved it. Huge former car showroom but very intimate at the bar. Bar staff very professional and friendly. Drinks great. Bar food excellent. Great vibe. Will definitely return.
Great date night spot- split a few small plates!
Finally a superb restaurant in Oakland.
This great music venue is totally intimate and reminds me a lot of the Jazz Cafe in London.
Best music venue in the East Bay! An intimate space with a hugely diverse lineup of performers. Music runs the gamut,from reggae to hip hop to brass bands to funk to dancehall. Read more.
Excellent party and intimate live music space. Multi cultural Oaktown crowd. Three bars and nice central courtyard for chillin'.
Love the small, intimate setting here.
Great date spot!
Very cool wine list! Drink outside of the box.
Love the spot, cool vibe, good menu , music coming soon. Incredible layout, great dinner, date spot or hangout.
Date night? Head to Duende and order the arroz negro paella ($40 for two people). It's one of the best meals in town and is definitely a centerpiece at this Spanish-inspired restaurant. Read more.
Verdejo, Albondigas, Cabbage Salad, oh my! Leave room for amazing Sherry collection :-)
Sat at the bar on a quiet Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the zucchini flat crust pizza, which was just enough for two. Delicious! Would like to come back for a date night for pizza and beer/cocktails.
One of the elite pizza places in Oakland. Not better than Zachary's, but with a very nice full bar and just as kid friendly, it may edge out Zachary's in terms of the overall experience.
Four of us shared a large meatball appetizer and a large Telegraph deep dish pizza. Amazing value, absolutely delicious.
Great intimate venue for jazz...the restaurant is very good too.
Can't even explain how intimate and good this place is. The food was out of this world. Definitely coming again.
Fantastic place! unforgettable nights to see legendary jazz and blues musicians/singers.
Love it. Best pasta in the East Bay hands down. Small, intimate. Great Italian wine list. We sat at the bar and had a great time drinking, eating, and bullshitting with the bar staff.
Casoncelli is amazing
Everything here is amazing
Lovely date night dinner. A little noisy and busy but fabulous food. Sliced beef dish is amazing.
Best new restaurant in the Bay Area. Simply outstanding!
Delicious barbacoa tacos and quesadilla yummy! Service is always pleasant.
Bar food could be better but the drinks are yummy! Fun date spot
Friendly service, great food and vibes, and one of the best mai tais I’ve ever had! Bartenders are super cool too.
Go in a night when the DJ is spinning vintage vinyl- great fun!
The menu here focuses on the flavors of Spain, the Mediterranean, and North Africa, and features some perfect bacalao croquettes, lamb kefta, and more. If you're a seafood lover try the squid bomba. Read more.
Get the chicken and churros. Their play on chicken and waffles has just been on the menu for only a week, but hopefully it's a mainstay. Delicious!
Try the poached eggs on falafel cakes or honey cakes topped with roasted fruit at this Mediterranean food spot. Skip the mimosa and order a Morning Glory fizz instead. Read more.
Excellent pizza. Great apps and cocktails. The mains are very good too. The best reason to come here is the outstanding Italian wine list. Surrender to discovering something you've never had before.
fried dough pizza (need I say more?) with added pancetta and fried egg is a serious must! these people are pros :)
The pizzas have a nice little surprise at the end
Fantastic new spot in Oakland! Amazing outdoor patio, brilliant cocktails on tap, affordable!
Drink outside with 3 giant redwood trees.
The new Uptown Oakland spot from Ali Tahsini features a huge patio outside and concoctions include a namesake drink with Old Tom gin, rye, lime, and raspberry, and a clarified-grapefruit Paloma. Read more.
Everything is delicious here. Thanks to a friend's recommendation, I now get their tonic (no alcohol) with each meal for $4. Every time it's just a little bit different.
Get the whiskey beverage (but ask for Black Maple Hill bourbon).
One of my new favorite theaters. Perfect for date nights
Fun decor, comfy seating, great beer and food selection, cheap movies. Classics like Harold and Maude. What more could you want? So happy we have a view-and-brew in Oakland again.
Extreme hipster central!!! Nice couches in the theater.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
