Best Lunch Restaurants in Oakland

Black Bull steakhouse was the best decision I've made in a long time. I went for an anniversary dinner and it was the most exceptional dining experience I've had in a long time. As someone who has been working full-time in every facet of the hospitality industry, I could not have been more impressed. My meal was the 16 oz Bone-In Filet that was cooked to perfection at Medium Rare, and her meal was the 8 oz. Filet cooked to perfection at medium. The service was prompt, knowledgable and incredibly swift. Leo provided world-class service and he deserves a promotion. If you get the luxury of dining at Black Bull Steakhouse, Leo is the only server I want going forward!

Food was excellent and service was awesome. Great place to sit and eat a great meal. Will be back

We had a delicious meal at Benares. I loved the Chicken Tikka Masala. The samosas are always good. My family enjoyed spicier dishes of goat and lamb. We celebrated my birthday with a chocolate lava cake and rose water ice cream. Our servers were excellent.

We were warmly welcomed upon arrival which sets a comfortable tone…. Yanni and crew are always excellent! Great steaks, delicious sides, good wine/drinks and tasty desserts. The overall experience was outstanding! And it ended with a heartfelt “thank you.”

We are frequent diners at this restaurant and the prices just keep going up. It’s a bit concerning
