Restaurants near 12th St Oakland City Center BART Station

From the moment I walked in, immediately greeted with a smile and welcome through to the very end upon departure, my experience was exceptional. I arrived early for my date and was able to be seated. The r bartender even smiled and greeted me from a distance. Each and every server within the area where I sat also greeted me. The menu has an array of cocktails and bites. When my date arrived, he wanted a more intimate seating and we were accommodated without hesitation. Our food choices were enjoyed and we were both intrigued with the squid ink sauce served with the crispy goat cheese…. What a combination! We enjoyed our experience and absolutely loved our waitress who was so cheerful!

Great space, and fantastic staff. The menu changes frequently, but the pork chop and the lamb chops were delicious. The fried mushrooms were a yummy surprise. The chocolate bread pudding is a MUST HAVE dessert.

BEST SERVICE, BEST FOOD! If you get Lamar tell him the twins sent you, he’ll get it!

Absolutely love the food and the space. One word of caution though…..they close at 9:00. Not just the kitchen but the restaurant. So plan to arrive with plenty of time. We were rushed out by the staff at 9:00 while we were still finishing our meal. Desserts arrived while we were still eating and we were asked to pay the bill because the cashier was leaving. Then they packed up our food to go. We now know to arrive no later than 7pm in the future to not be rushed.

Food and service were good. Came during the lunch rush and the noise in the dining area was far too loud to be comfortable. They need at add acoustical products to the ceiling. It was better once the number of patrons reduced after 1PM. I would still recommend coming here though.
