   I would have rated this higher except for the fact that the manager came to our table and told us that we had been there for too long (we were there about 2 hours) and asked us if we were still waiting on food and if we weren't leaving yet if we could settle our check. Note we still had drinks and were waiting for our dessert, which had she asked the server she would have known. Also i would say that 30-40% of their tables were unoccupied at the time she requested we leave. Oh an we spent with tip about $100 per person. Service was great, food was good, however knowing that the Oakland food scene is a wealth of great food based on this interaction not sure I would go back.

   The chicken and waffles were a disappointment, this use to be one of the entrees I enjoyed here, not certain if they changed chefs. Chicken tasted old/dry, was not as tender/crispy as in the past.

    The service was adequate but not attentive. We had to talk loud to hear each other over a fairly small table, and that was only made worse because everyone else in the restaurant had to do the same. But the food was excellent.

    My Husband and I dine at Shakewell almost every Sunday for brunch and service is generally exceptional. Unfortunately yesterday left a bitter taste in our mouth. The the server took forever to take our order then our food took almost 40 mins to come. Once it arrived it was overcooked. When we asked to bring us a new dish the new order took another 28 mins and it in fact was the wrong item. And on top of all of this when I ordered my second drink, it was the wrong cocktail. Needless to say I was disappointed and a little heartbroken because Shakewell is such a tradition for my husband and I.

    Very personable staff. Decent atmosphere but fairly loud. The menu seemed like an odd combination of things. We were each about to find something interesting to try. We shared all of the dishes and two of the four were enjoyed by all of us. The wine provided in a wine glass seemed skimpy, especially for the price.

    First of all our waiter was wonderful! We were checked in by other staff members as well which might’ve been a bit much. The food was good but not outstanding for the cost. The paella was very good with a lovely flavor and texture. We had a drink that was hot and not what anyone was expecting;it should have probably been exchanged by the bartender without any inquiry. The bill was very very high and even though the occasion was fine and our waiter was fantastic definitely was not worth the money. I would be inclined to stop in for a cocktail at the bar with may be an hors d’oeuvre but would not go again for dinner.

    We had a wonderful time on a Saturday night at Shakewell. The food was superb- we had the Gulf Prawn and Chicken, Paella, the excellent Fried Chicken and the Black Cod, delicious. Little Gem salad that was generous and flavorful, and Papas Bravas that were indulgent. We shared Churros and Caramel Flan for dessert and had leftovers to bring home. Our server was friendly and attentive. We have never had a misstep at Shakewell. Jen Biesty is the best!

    We've been fans of Shakewell since they opened, but this was our first visit to dine indoors since the pandemic. We were celebrating a birthday. Overall, the food was great and the service was great, but we felt a little rushed---which was different than prior visits. We arrived at 7.05 and were in our car driving home by 8.00. I suppose they get 5 stars for efficiency, since the food and cocktails arrived almost immediately after we ordered and our plates were cleared the moment we finished. But we missed the old days when the host would shmooze with us at the table and we dined more leisurely. We will be back, as there's alot to like here, but miss the more relaxed days when they were the new kids on the block.

    Had a great dinner here tonight outside on the patio. They have heat lamps to help with the cold weather and our server was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered a salad, the falafel bites, and one of their paellas and everything was absolutely delicious. Good cocktails and dessert too!! A must visit if you are in the area or live in the neighborhood.

    Every single thing we ate or drank at Shakewell was outstanding. ALL of the staff were friendly, attentive, smart and appeared to be very happy to be there. The ambiance was energetic yet the conversation between my dinner companion and I was easy and there was no struggle to hear. The inside is visually lively yet I felt comfortable, like at home there. And the value - off the charts. I had the duck leg for $28 and the portion was huge and ridiculously delicious. I really cannot say enough about this place. Tim, the owner, stopped by to make sure we were doing well and I saw him move about the restaurant taking to patrons. If I lived on that side of the bay I would eat here a few times a week. So good and such a wonderful experience.

    Great neighborhood restaurant with its own sense of style. Family friendly, but perfect for a small group of adults. Small plate options with Paella as the main event for our outing. Nice cocktails from a beautiful bar. Good service from a variety of friendly waiters, servers, and maitre d's. Enjoy a nice evening out at your neighborhood Spanish themed restaurant.

    Food is so good, it makes up for the crowded and noisy ambience. The paella is out of this world!!! Drink menu is fun and innovative, service is great. But - tables are WAAAAAY too close together. I could barely hear my friend sitting across from me due to proximity of couples on either side.
