- PPeggyVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •31 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoDelicious food! A bit noisy, but not impossible to have a conversation. Service was average, but satisfactory. I would definitely go back. There were lots of things on the menu I’d like to try.More infoalaMar Dominican KitchenPrice: Expensive• Caribbean• Oakland•4.6
- CchristineSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoBurrell is lovely. We enjoyed the mushroom and sunchoke main, and the black cod, although the delicacy of the black cod oyster chowder was over powered by the earthy umami of the mushroom dish. Should have asked our server about the combo. corn bread amazing as always. waffle and chicken liver was the hit of the night. The fried cauliflower and broccoli was decent. Not the best. We were full by the time our mains came! Wish we would have saved room for desert!More infoBurdellPrice: Very Expensive• Soul food• Oakland•4.5
