- TtriciaSan Francisco Bay Area •9 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe food and cocktails at Burdell are exciting and surprising. The flavors are bold and perfectly balanced, with ingredients and styles you don’t usually find in fine dining. The service is more casual than other restaurants of its caliber, friendly and comfortable. For instance our server noticed my enthusiasm for the miso peanut sauce at the bottom of our empty bowl of boiled peanuts, and he kindly brought a little spoon so I could keep adding the delicious gravy to my plate. My husband and I adored Burdell and return soon!More infoBurdellPrice: Very Expensive• Soul food• Oakland•4.5
