• Contemporary American • Oakland
Booked 36 times today
Recommended in the MICHELIN Guide for California 2021-2023. Located in Oakland’s historic Grand Lake District, Bardo is a neighborhood lounge and restaurant inspired by the comfort and camaraderie of a mid-century dinner party. Drawing on the celebration and elegance of old school entertaining, we envisioned a space for friends and neighbors to enjoy amazing food, cocktails, conversation and great music. Our lounge is a swank living room, furnished with hand-picked finds from antique and vintage markets from Palm Springs to Portland. Our mezzanine dining room features a rotating menu of fresh, seasonal supper-fare with local and sustainably sourced meats, fish and produce. While we think the food, drinks and atmosphere are all great reasons to visit us, it’s the relationships with our friends, neighbors and guests that is the driving force behind Bardo.

• Contemporary American • Oakland
Booked 24 times today
MUA is known for its open atmosphere, eclectic décor, art events and, of course, its delicious food. Ideal for large parties or intimate gatherings, the spacious dining room creates a relaxed, casual vibe for guests to enjoy their meals. A large selection of wines, cocktails and beers make MUA a great spot for an evening out with friends. Family owned and run Mua was one of the first restaurants to open in what was then Auto Row in Oakland, in 2008. After their first 2 restaurants, Pastoral in Berkeley (first opened in 1982 while still students, 37 in the architecture program at Cal and San-Ju painting at SFAI) then later Soizic (Jack London Square, 1996), they wanted to shift gears from heavily curated menus to more comfort-based fare catering more to the eclectic and artistic community in Oakland. Today you’ll find people of all ages and backgrounds, from Too Short to Jerry Brown.

    We had an 8:30 reservation and were seated about 8:45. The food was excellent, but I didn’t like that there was a half hour wait between courses. The noise level was extremely loud, between the loud (but nice) music and the patron chatter going on, I couldn’t hear to carry on a conversation with others in my party to pass the time while we waited for food. We wanted to order dessert, but the wait staff took so long to come back (about a half hour after clearing the table and bringing the dessert menu) we gave up because it was already 11pm..and asked for the check from the next person whose attention we could attract. The food was fantastic, the hopping John was the best I’d ever tasted, and I’d make trip to Berkeley just for another serving. I hope your restaurant was just short staffed at that time and that I would not have the same wait should I return for another dinner.
