Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Grand Lake, Oakland

Tina D. • July 3, 2015Great cocktails, goddess salad, meatballs and Tribune pizza are favs.

Brian S. • December 5, 2019Excellent burger! Homemade bun, homemade mayo. Cooked perfectly. I love it when you get salad AND fries standard for $17.

Brian S. • November 21, 2019Killer new spot with a full bar. Still has the complicated two person seating system where it takes 5 mins just to figure out how long you’re going to wait for a table. My secret ingredient is pesto!

Russell L. • August 16, 2015Get the strawberry charlotte. It never disappoints. Black bottom cupcakes are good as well. There's a parking lot in the back but it's a little tight.

Teresa P. • July 21, 2011The cheeseburger was moist and tasty. Piano bar and singing are lots of fun.

JK • August 14, 2021Try sambusas, triangular pastries stuffed with piquant jalapeño-spiked lentils & sautéed collard greens, lentils in smoky berbere and split peas with turmeric and ginger

Raffaello T. • October 6, 2012the menu changes but favorites like the mac and cheese and flourless chocolate cake are always on and delicious

Jennifer M. • March 18, 2023Cute little spot for brunch! Very friendly staff and a good vibe overall. They have an outdoor patio that is dog-friendly and they have heat lamps for chillier days.

Martha H. • November 10, 2014Still partially under construction but in the meantime the cafe offers a refreshing selection of housemade baked goods (do I hear gluten free brownie with salted caramel?).

Trent • February 2, 2012Coconut shrimp is real good
