Great atmosphere! Beautiful glassed in outdoor patio, swanky indoor space, and a wrap-around bar with comfortable seating. The servers were sweet and attentive and the VEGAN OPTIONS WERE AMAZING!!! I knocked one star because the cocktails were average. They could have a more creative list that would add to the ambience of the space. My bf and I went here for my bday dinner and I’m happy we came here!

This was my 3rd time there and we had lunch. I say skip lunch and try dinner or brunch instead. The 1st 4 pictures are from lunch.

I had brunch here, and my egg dish was a little bland. I was excited to see a Kir Royale on the menu as an alternative to a mimosa. The drink was perfectly balanced. It was also my birthday and the cake served for birthdays was delicious. I wasn’t even in the mood for cake, but I couldn’t put my fork down LOL. The atmosphere and views here are enjoyable. There is a parking garage conveniently located across the street.

Came for brunch on a Saturday. Great service! Atmosphere is nice with awesome view of Oakland. It’s on the 10th floor of the hotel. Bloody Mary was average (make sure you get the bacon in the drink, it was really good!) but the omelet was delicious. Bloody Mary and omelet was $30. I would come again.

The view was nice, but that was about it. We made a reservation and looked forward to this brunch, but it disappointed in all regards. We were given no drink menu. It seemed like the menu had changed that day because it was not the same one I had seen online. I recalled seeing a coffee menu online and ordered a latte. It was honestly terrible and the foam was all over the mug. Our server waited 15+ minutes to take our order and check on us. When we had our meals nearly untouched and declined boxes, she made no attempt to see what was wrong. My breakfast sandwich was plain and overpriced. We expected a luxurious date and wound up extremely disappointed. Maybe the dinner is better, but this place really didn’t chalk up to the Instagram page.

Had a great experience with dinner and drinks. No wait for a table of 2, we had two cocktails each and they were all fantastic, the seasonal pecan pie martini, the purple rain was very refreshing and the could be loved (is that the name?) were all good. The grilled octopus was super tender and all the sauces that it came with were amazing, the branzino did have some bones that were tricky but great flavor, nicely cooked. We had desserts and both the cheesecake (not too sweet -authentic basque style!) and the creme brulee were delicious.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had! Every course was fantastic, service was extraordinarily attentive and friendly, and it was a very chic restaurant with a great view of Oakland. Top tier, will definitely be returning!

The restaurant was about half empty when we came, but it still took about 15 minutes to take our drink order and another 10-15 to bring out coffee for everyone. The cold brew is NOT made in-house, and was brought out in a plastic bottle. We never got water refills. It took a good 20 minutes to come back and get our food order taken, AND the server almost skipped me when going around the table. Despite writing down all the orders and the seats that got each order, the server summarily gave each individual the wrong order. The food was brought out piece-meal–three cups of coffee then 5 minutes later 3 more cups OR three entrees then 10 minutes later three more entrees. Coffee was not served with cream or sugar, we had to ask for it. The table had no salt or pepper. I asked for a rise and shine burger cooked medium, but a burned puck showed up instead. That got taken off the bill, but I left hungry because I didn’t want to wait another 30 minutes to have new food brought out to me.
