- CCatherineVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •21 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoA fantastic find in Oakland near Lake Merritt. The food was excellent and the service was attentive. The tables & chairs were not very comfortable but adequate for breakfast and lunch.More infoGrand Lake Kitchen - Lake MerrittPrice: Moderate• American• Oakland•4.6

- MMelissaSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had such an amazing time! We ordered the Dinner Party Menu, and it was a perfect mix of everything. All of the food was absolutely delicious, and we scraped every single plate. We also really enjoyed sitting at the bar, and Anthony, the bartender made us some fantastic drinks based on our preferences and what we were eating,More infoBardo Lounge & Supper ClubPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Oakland•4.9
- SSebastianLos Angeles •13 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWho knew Oakland goes off like this? Incredible open space in what I assume is a converted warehouse. I sat upstairs, overlooking the main dining area, which was perfect. Really diverse crowd, fantastic set list by the DJ, great overall energy. Shared the Caesar salad to start, which frankly could have been half the size (it was two full romaine hearts) and the 1lb Ribeye with fries. Finished with the bread pudding. That was more than enough. Great service. Note that 20% gratuity is automatically added, which I was fine with, but just beware so you don't double-tip.More infoMUAPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Oakland•4.4
- RRobinSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews4.0Dined on Feb 9, 2025I love Samara Southern Creations on Sunday at Haus of Chefs. And Sarah, the chef, is as wonderful as her cuisine. I appreciate that as time allows, she comes out to meet and greet her guests. My only recommendation for the venue, which is decorated very nicely, is to add some sound absorbing materials to the walls. It can get a little loud with so many customers. Good news is, everyone is flocking to this place because the food is excellent :). For customers, I recommend you make a reservation and go early. Highly recommended! :)More infoHaus Of ChefsPrice: Expensive• American• Oakland•4.5
