- 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
- SSammi MengSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoScallop risotto, French dip sandwich, and black cod couscous were all awesome! Definitely worth trying. But my fave was the Brussels sprouts!!! They were crunchy with just the right amount of sweetness, vinegar, and that panasan cheese. So good!More infoGrand Lake Kitchen - Lake MerrittPrice: Moderate• American• Oakland•4.7
