Restaurants near Oakland Convention Center

"Fantastic waitstaff. Tavern just reopened so everyone was very attentive. We ordered the French onion soup, Tavern chopped greens & “da burger”. The soup was ok, but a bit one-note, lacking the complexity of good French onion soup. The gratinee was provolone, which is odd on something billed as French. The salad was a total bomb..tasteless, anemic tomatoes, nothing “chopped”, & the baby kale leaves were still connected by thick stems. The original Tribune Tavern had the best burger I’d ever tasted so there were high hopes. “Da burger” was good, but no match for its predecessor. Bun is crumbly, but the flavor of the meat is good. Fries are good. Portions DEFINITELY smaller than they used to be. Felt like everything was a tad on the chintzy side - small servings of condiments, burger accoutrements."See more
