    Lovely lunch! Always the best potato salad. Minestrone soup was good although garbanzo beans were kinda crunchy. The donuts are a hit!

    First time at this location. We waited 15 mins for a table even with a reservation but there was no one else waiting. Hostess was sitting with her feet up. The server, though nice, didn’t come greet us for a while, brought a wrong drink, didn’t show us a bill at the end and only stuck a machine in our hands. It’s hard to find a decent service/care in Oakland, another place who just wouldn’t take your money for granted, especially if a breakfast dish averages $17 and up.

    Great restaurant, nice service and good food. The food at the lake Merritt location is a touch better but the service and ambiance is better at the Diamond district

    The brisket French dip was delicious and was served on Acme bread. It’s not in a great neighborhood and the prices are way too high. $13 for an IPA.
