"A friend and I took our 5- and 6-year old sons to dinner here in the early evening prior to a kid-friendly show at the Paramount. The servers were so kind and patient with our kiddos, and the food was yummy and arrived quickly! I love the decor and ambience at Spice Monkey, and want to go back for adult beverages sometime soon. Great little downtown spot!"See more

"Everything was ok, service was amazing. Just really upset to spend $150+ on dinner for 2 to sit in a really hot restaurant.. couldn’t enjoy my hot cuts of meat the way I wanted too. I was sweating in my seat and ended up drinking a lot of water.While waiting for the meats to come to the table..by the time the cuts that we really wanted to try came out, my date and I were over it and just wanted to leave... Hopefully the next time Oakland is 100degrees again they will turn on the AC."See more

"My spouse and I only went to Parlour to cash in our Open Table points, and our expectations were low. We were more than happily surprised. Our dinner started out with calamari that was perfectly prepared. We then shared an enormous salad that seemed to have everything in it that grew in a garden. Our main course was the halibut served with vegetables and buerre blanc. The halibut was cooked to perfection. We fought over the last pieces. Our meal needed with a large, tasty tiramisu. Our only quibble (minor) was the wine came after the calamari. However, the wine was delicious, and we agreed we would come back to Parlour and bring your friends."See more

"Nice selection of food and drinks and a great add to the neighborhood. Only comment is that it is LOUD LOUD LOUD if you are seated under a speaker around the perimeter of the restaurant, so maybe better suited to sit at the bar if you plan on being chatty."See more

"The dishes were exquisitely delicious and each course was a visual surprise. The portions were perfect and thoughtfully paced. The chefs and service are the best. Ask the chefs how they create their artful creations ;) It was a lovely dining and social experience that I intend to repeat!"See more
