Bywater - Table reservation

This review is for the Bakeshop Bywater. Today I had my first spice roll. It was Dionysian delight with high quality cinnamon, subtle notes of peppery adjacent bite and the tang of citrus. The naturally leavened pastry dough is flaky lightness without the heavy doughy texture of flour and chemical enhancers. You close your eyes and dream of that morning along the Seine in your imagination as you peel it apart and slow yourself down while eating. Like many things Bywater, it is the best cinnamon roll in the East Bay. Order using their square site via the Insta account. Order early. This is a special treat not to be missed!

Amazing seafood and dishes prepared with obvious care. Definitely a limited menu, but when the food was this good you don't feel like you've missed out on anything. We actually ended up ordering more dishes because of how good our initial orders were. Very cozy inside and super friendly staff- see if you can sit near the raw bar to watch the food get prepared right in front of you. One of the best meals, start to finish, I've had in a long time.

Sat outside by a fire pit on New Year’s Eve. Wasnt too busy. Service was pretty slow. Waited 30 min for my drinks. Outdoor ambience was nice with fire pit. Buck-a-shuck on Monday’s only. Overall, can’t give 5 stars for service. But a good place. I would rank Trafford and Square Peg higher depending if you want fancy or low-brow. But a good place to mix it up.

Just the best steak I've ever had. The oysters were fantastic and the pickles were great. I cannot recommend this place enough! Everyone has to go.
