Best Organic Food Restaurants in Oakland

We dined here last night! The last time we were here, we couldn’t wait to return, this time, not so much! It’s so obvious from the time you arrive , you are being pushed out by a pushy server that doesn’t have a problem interrupting your evening with her rough theatrical chirps as she attempts three French words she learnt in the kitchen to try and make the interruptions somehow sound charming! Yes it’s very noticed and very weird, obnoxious, rude and off putting. We had finished our appetizer and had the main course on the table 25 minutes after we arrived, there is just no way that food is not sitting in the kitchen to run out the door. I will say that the food was good, some dishes better than others! I feel the popcorn on the table is getting to be a stale concept and the complimentary cream cheese bite I could definitely live without 💯! The steak tartare is to die for and so was the gnocchi appetizer! The Chilean sea bass sauce was good but the fish had sat to long before coming out! The veal ossobuco a was tasty , not the best I’ve had but acceptable! Dessert was a pretty whimsical looking but rather blah tasting!

Excellent ambience and service on a post-holiday, low-key weeknight. Always think to have the duck when I visit French restaurants and the duck leg confit met my high expectations! Nice wine list and cocktails as well.

We had a wonderful dinner with our sons at Siempre Algo last night. We loved seeing Kimber. Our server, Kristen was very professional and personable. Our favorite appetizer is the chicken liver pate' & pork terrine. We had the Lamb with Polenta and the Grilled Quail, which were prepared expertly. The Pistachio Cake with Meyer Lemon ice cream was a great finish for dinner. We love the ambience and carefully curated menu and the commitment that Chef Brian has for quality ingredients.

Haven’t been to this location, and was a little nervous and felt bad coming in on XMAS but grateful they were open. Did the experience and have been to many rodizio restaurants. Two major things stood out. The options of getting rare meat as opposed to getting everything cooked well done was really appreciated. Lastly, Even though we don’t talk about him, Bruno went out of his way to fulfill my request for chicken hearts. I wasn’t aware that it was special request only and when asked he got it done. Bravo. Very appreciated of all the staff for working on the holiday. I work in the industry and had the holiday off to work in Pittsburgh for my radio work or I would have been working back in NJ. So thank you I’m sure it wasn’t easy being away from family.

Had an awesome dinner! All 5 of us in my party loved the food. Our reservation was for 5:45. We got there about 10 minutes early and we were seated immediately. Food came out super fast and was delicious! Will definitely return.
