Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Oakland

Food was delicious and SO many options for the quality experience!

What a wonderful find, this will become a regular for us. The vibe was quaint, hip, and relaxed. The service was impeccable, the wine list lengthy impressive, and the menu was unique and sooo tempting. I struggled to choose between several dished. The bartender served up a spot on basil gimlet, which was off the menu and made to order. We had the Sangiovese reserve, which was mouthwatering. Our octopus salad was unique and lovely, as was the seafood risotto and swordfish. All perfectly cooked seafood. The only reason I am not giving it a 5 stars was that the seafood dish was very salty. If I had had more time I would have sent it back. But everything else about it was spot on.. the toast potatoes were crisp, the spinach bring and firm, and the fish was perfectly cooked. Unfortunately, I heard the table next to us send back the short ribs because they were too salty as well, so I’m hoping this evening was a fluke. The waitress was generous and apologetic, comping our wines.

Hearty, delicious German food and great beers on tap. Not fond of the TVs so sat in a place where they were out of my sight line.

Great food, great service, and overall a great time with my party of 8. Will def be coming back for sure

Delicious food, charming and knowledgeable waitstaff and a relaxing vibe.
