Do yourself a favor and book a counter seat by the open kitchen. It makes for a great date night to watch their craft in action while enjoying the results! Read more.
The tasting menu was divine - especially with the wine pairing. Favorites included the amouse Bouche, beluga caviar and champagne pairing, cured egg yolk and bread dish, and the pb souffle
Tried Commis with the wine pairings. Disappointed :( I really wanted to love the place!
First time there and loved it. Huge former car showroom but very intimate at the bar. Bar staff very professional and friendly. Drinks great. Bar food excellent. Great vibe. Will definitely return.
Great date night spot- split a few small plates!
An amazing space, great food and cocktails. Highly recommended.
This great music venue is totally intimate and reminds me a lot of the Jazz Cafe in London.
Best music venue in the East Bay! An intimate space with a hugely diverse lineup of performers. Music runs the gamut,from reggae to hip hop to brass bands to funk to dancehall. Read more.

Love the spot, cool vibe, good menu , music coming soon. Incredible layout, great dinner, date spot or hangout.
Date night? Head to Duende and order the arroz negro paella ($40 for two people). It's one of the best meals in town and is definitely a centerpiece at this Spanish-inspired restaurant. Read more.
Verdejo, Albondigas, Cabbage Salad, oh my! Leave room for amazing Sherry collection :-)
Sat at the bar on a quiet Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the zucchini flat crust pizza, which was just enough for two. Delicious! Would like to come back for a date night for pizza and beer/cocktails.
Deep dish is great.
Four of us shared a large meatball appetizer and a large Telegraph deep dish pizza. Amazing value, absolutely delicious.
Great intimate venue for jazz...the restaurant is very good too.
Can't even explain how intimate and good this place is. The food was out of this world. Definitely coming again.
The sea urchin row sushi was excellent, went there for a 70th birthday of my brother in law
Bar food could be better but the drinks are yummy! Fun date spot
Surprisingly great food! Strong drinks. Good atmosphere. Definitely recommend
Go in a night when the DJ is spinning vintage vinyl- great fun!
Love it. Best pasta in the East Bay hands down. Small, intimate. Great Italian wine list. We sat at the bar and had a great time drinking, eating, and bullshitting with the bar staff.
One of the best restaurants in Oakland. Amazing handmade pasta.
Casoncelli is amazing
Lovely date night dinner. A little noisy and busy but fabulous food. Sliced beef dish is amazing.
Loved the flavor of all their food, but one huge suggestion--- get a couple heat lamps outside! Please
Delicious barbacoa tacos and quesadilla yummy! Service is always pleasant.
A fantastic Tapas restaurant. Excellent food, wine and service.
Get the chicken and churros. Their play on chicken and waffles has just been on the menu for only a week, but hopefully it's a mainstay. Delicious!
Try the poached eggs on falafel cakes or honey cakes topped with roasted fruit at this Mediterranean food spot. Skip the mimosa and order a Morning Glory fizz instead. Read more.
Rigatoni is great and wood burning grilled bread is fantastic. Can't go wrong!
Everything is delicious here. Thanks to a friend's recommendation, I now get their tonic (no alcohol) with each meal for $4. Every time it's just a little bit different.
Tasty cocktails and a chill outdoor patio.
Drink outside with 3 giant redwood trees.
The new Uptown Oakland spot from Ali Tahsini features a huge patio outside and concoctions include a namesake drink with Old Tom gin, rye, lime, and raspberry, and a clarified-grapefruit Paloma. Read more.
One of my new favorite theaters. Perfect for date nights
This place is a phenomenal spot for a movie. Great food, reasonable tix and hella comfy, homey chairs.
Fun decor, comfy seating, great beer and food selection, cheap movies. Classics like Harold and Maude. What more could you want? So happy we have a view-and-brew in Oakland again.
Great drinks! Good beer selection. Amazing empanadas!!
Great wide beer selection, killer cocktails, awesome seating, empanadas, heat lamps, rooftop! <3
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
