Given the prices, we were hoping for excellent, warm, and inviting service. Unfortunately, our waitress seemed to have the trendy vibe down but was lacking in friendliness and attentiveness. She approached our table without introducing herself, mentioning any specials, or offering a warm greeting—she simply asked if we were ready to order, which felt somewhat off-putting.
We ordered four appetizers for our group of four, expecting substantial portions given the price range of $14-20 each. However, the appetizers turned out to be quite small. The cocktail shrimp were decent but nothing special, and we tried escargot for the first time; while it was a fun experience, the portion size was also...
Ok…my new fav in Oakland. EVERYTHING was sooo good! The greeting was friendly, the table was comfortable, the server was great-explained everything and was efficient. We started with cocktails and fries. Fries tell you how the rest of the meal will be, and these were perfect! Then…the tempura corn on the cob….0mg-they even brought towelettes!

Everything was really good. Food was a little bit on the salty side but it’s not like it wasn’t good or anything. Overall we had the best time there and would come back again!
This restaurant is an absolute must-try. I went there by myself, and I ended up so satisfied that I returned home and went straight to bed, thanks to the incredible food.
Great experience! Just a bad neighborhood. Unfortunately my car got broken into when it was parked just across the street.
What a fantastic meal. Nothing missed. Favorites included Tempura Corn, Braised Greens, Hamachi Crudo. We will return!
