- PPeggyVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •31 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoDelicious food! A bit noisy, but not impossible to have a conversation. Service was average, but satisfactory. I would definitely go back. There were lots of things on the menu I’d like to try.More infoalaMar Dominican KitchenPrice: Expensive• Caribbean• Oakland•4.6

- KKathrynVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •11 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoThe food was delicious and eating outside across from Lake Merritt is a pleasure! The avocado toast (with a generous serving of green salad) was beautifully prepared, as was the pastrami benedict that my partner ate (unlike many we've had, it was not drowned in hollandaise sauce but simply topped with it). My only reservation was about the eggs on the avo toast. I asked the server to make sure the yolks were "not runny." She wrote down and repeated the instruction. But when they arrived, they were totally runny. She offered to get me a scrambled egg instead - which arrived perfectly prepared. But then I was charged for it. I think if the kitchen makes an error they need to make good on it, without additional charge. Other than that, it was a wonderful meal.More infoGrand Lake Kitchen - Lake MerrittPrice: Moderate• American• Oakland•4.7
- BBrianSan Francisco Bay Area •7 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoMy wife and I are long time Yoshi dinner and concert fans, especially when Boney James comes to town. We first say him and his group perform at Yoshi’s in San Francisco many years. Since then, we always attend his Oakland Yoshi’s performances and it’s always a great dinner and show. So for 2024, thanks once again Yoshi’s for another great dinner and show. And we’re looking forward to many other great dinners and other great artist’s shows in 2025.
