Restaurantes en Oakland

The food was a 10 out of 10. I went with my son on Sunday and it was amazing. The only issue I had was it was a little cold but it could have just been where we were seated so I could have just asked to be moved. The food was amazing, I had the fish and grits, best catfish I’ve ever had with the perfect amount of seasoning and fried just perfect. The grits were amazing as well! My son had the chicken and waffles that had the biggest piece of chicken we’ve ever seen with a chicken and waffle meal so he was already impressed and loved the way the chicken was seasoned. We shared the cornbread griddle which was so good, the drinks were great also. My son’s only complaint was the glass of lemonade was skinny making it a smaller amount. No real complaints at all though and we are definitely coming back. I almost forgot we also bought the gumbo pot pie to go, since we live about an hour away I wasn’t sure if I should get it but they actually made it a take an bake which worked out perfect!

this is a wonderful restaurant tucked away behind a very unassuming edifice in Oakland~. Lovely ambience. Only two drawbacks - it is noisy (which actually is not bad if you are looking for a lively environment) - and it is pricey, although the food is excellent, gourmet-level preparation - which of course will be pricey. If you are looking for an excellent diniing experience for a special occasion, and price is not an object, this is definitely a spot to consider!

Great place nice food and service! Highly recommended!

For lunch on a quiet Sunday afternoon. The food was very tasty and portion size was good! The service was prompt and attentive. Would love to come back!

Moderately attentive wait staff and overall decent food, albeit slightly overpriced. Visited with my son at 5:15PM. We arrived about 30 minutes before the rush. We were greeted right away by a polite young lady. She began to seat us, but then another couple arrived and she left us to seat them—it was an odd exchange that left us awkwardly standing outside, selecting our own table. We had the FRITURA SALCHICHON LONGANIZA appetizer, which was brought out very quickly and was very good. My son had the CAMARONES CRIOLLA, which he described as “meh” when asked. I tried them, and they were well cooked, but generally poorly seasoned. I had the BRAISED ANGUS OXTAIL “ENCENDIDO”, which was very good, although for a “large” entree, I was a bit let down, as it was rather modest. Nonetheless, the flavor packed a punch. My son had guava-infused limeade which was legit. I had unsweetened tea. Overall, worth the visit but not something I would personally go out of my way to have again.
