Musa DoMarch 18, 2017Amazing food, beautiful interior design, friendy staff & professional service. Must try the Pork Chop & Butcher Block dish. 🌎Visit me at www.instagram.com/chubbymushie to follow my food journal.
Gabi AshmanFebruary 14, 2013Chicory salad and NIMAN ranch burger with mouth-watering fries... will def be coming back to try out some other items on the menu (re-tip from earlier post...stupid autocorrect changed Niman to Human)
Brian StraussApril 15, 2019California cuisine distilled to its most accessible level. Everything is pretty tasty. Maybe you’re tired of burger recommendations, but here’s another: it’s on baguette from La Farine!
Pamela WagnerMarch 2, 2018I love going to this restaurant for special occasions. Had their pork chop! It was fantastic! Make sure you swirl the meat in the best tasting gravy!!- Ashley MowreyNovember 19, 2017Their cocktails will get you drunk fast. Can be a good or bad thing, depending on your self-awareness. Really great food. Sit at the bar for immediate service.
Suejin KimAugust 1, 2013Crispy pork belly- the summer version includes salty, spicy watermelon. I'm coming back here for the winter version. The duck is fantastic as well.
Food is always on point. Super nice staff. You’ll always make a friend at the bar...sometimes when you don’t want to.
ScottNovember 10, 2018SO many great choices. ALL good depending on your preferences. Great atmosphere. Exceptional service.
Fantastic burger, nice atmosphere, well stocked bar. What's not to like?
Simon GibsonMarch 1, 2019Awesome service and very good bartenders. Sit at the bar and ask for recommendations.
Lily HamrickDecember 19, 2016Sitting at the bar for a drink and a bite to eat is an easy way to enjoy this place
Theresa NelsonMay 8, 2010Superb food, great atmosphere, bar seats overlooking the saute station are great fun, even without a reservation you can arrive early-ish and get the full menu at the bar. Read more
Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 16, 2011Grab a seat at the concrete chef’s counter if you are a fan of close up cooking and how butter is supposed to be used; over, and over, and over again. - Inspector
Pacific UnionOctober 17, 2012Sophisticated spot. This place is very popular so arrive early. Amazing roasted chicken!
- Gnocchi, pork belly, and lemon cucumber salad are all must haves
J.P. DohertyFebruary 16, 2013Grilled Skirt Steak sandwich. Best sandwich I think I have ever had in my entire life.
Benjamin ChristianMarch 1, 2014Nice vibe. Good wine. The sauces on the meat are way too rich. Couldn't finish the meal. Drowned in butter.
if there are no reservations on opentable, call them. or nab a seat at the bar right at 5:30. the half chicken is divine, as is anything pork. competent cocktails too.
pj calihanSeptember 3, 2011Salads are always amazing and the butcher block is the perfect cholesterol rush after spending quality time with my PT
Russell LJuly 3, 2015You can give this place a pass if you're vegetarian. But if not, apparently it's quite good!
Cassie DestinoJanuary 17, 2010Without a reservation (or even with!) on a Saturday night be prepared to wait but they'll bring you drinks from the bar and it's well worth it!
Come for lunch and order the Pastrami sandwich- buff said. Great beer,cocktails,and wine selection- love the 'Woody' Bloody Mary
Jose is the older of the two bartenders. a little salt and pepper hair. ask him for his favorite drink
Brown EstateFebruary 11, 2011Our 03 cab sauv can be had by the glass here at our favorite Oakland hot spot!
Sergey ZhurbiloAugust 19, 2010Make a reservation it can get packed. Also gin and german... gets you messed up
