Best Lunch Restaurants in Oakland

Very homey place (where Aunt Mary’s used to be)with warm skillful service. The food is great. We had the family meal for the table ($75 per person). It was fried petrale sole with lots of accompanying side dishes. First course was boiled peanuts in a delicious sauce. Peanuts were soft and yummy. The dessert was amazing. They called it a panna cotta but it was more custardy and topped with a few pomagrant seeds and a tiny amount pomegranate granita. It was very good and we ate it all even though we were very full.

The restaurant is very charming. The stuff is super Helpful and friendly. All the items from the menu was delicious. If i had to complain about something it would be the olive oil on the chocolate cake. I will go back many times and encourage you to go too.

The ambiance, service, food were ALL GOOD, the Pricing is Ridiculous though, I paid $18.95 for a tiny shot size cocktail and $55 for oxtails, unfortunately neither was worth the cost.

Every Dish was DELICIOUS! It felt like I was in Santo Domingo! I can't wait to return for more of those Oxtails, the Plantains, and the shrimp criolla!

Excellent food and excellent service. I will be coming back for more! I highly recommend.
