This place is delicious and interesting but hearty and not precious. Start with a cocktail, share everything & get wine with the mains. Leave room for dessert. Reserve a table a few days in advance.
Really good ice cubes here
Skip the chicken and go for the delicious, über juicy burger.
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.
Tried Commis with the wine pairings. Disappointed :( I really wanted to love the place!
Menus change often, but may have Dungeness crab w/ quince "snow" or caramelized abalone or charcoal-roasted Sonoma duck. – Green Guide Editor
Spicy hog, seared tuna, truffle salad. I'm addicted to all. Wash down with an obc ipa.
Recommend the Spicy Hog! And the Albarino goes well with it.
Crab sando, giant meatball, pork belly.
Fantastic burger, nice atmosphere, well stocked bar. What's not to like?
Crispy. Pork. Belly. You need know nothing more.
Grab a seat at the concrete chef’s counter if you are a fan of close up cooking and how butter is supposed to be used; over, and over, and over again. - Inspector
The food and cocktails are AMAZING!!!!
one of the best burgers in oakland. get it with the fried egg and gruyere!
Highly recommend the Salty Dog cocktail, deviled eggs, and shrimp & polenta. All strong choices!
The ribs appetizer caused me to 'briefly' reevaluate my non-belief in god.
Satan's Soul Patch is delicious!
Arugula Salad is Delicious- pears, candied almonds, blue cheese, everything i wanted in a salad....Yummy
Secretly the best burger in Oakland!
This restaurant serves up true variety. Whether you’re in the mood for Spanish rice, fresh papardelle, Yucatecan chicken, or just a great local beer in great local company, Chop Bar delivers.
Yellowtail crudo with shaved celery and blood orange is exquisite, as are roasted carrots with aioli and their persimmon panna cotta. A wonderful neighborhood place, albeit hard to get in, go later !
The bathroom doors are primarily frosted glass, so unless you're comfortable with folks having a vague glimpse of you doing your business, I suggest you bring a coat to hang on the door's hook.
Specialties: Anything cooked over an open fire, including crab and leg of lamb. Wood-oven-baked eggs and French toast at brunch. Read more.
Moist, coarse crumbed Tunisian orange cake ($9) defied its simple presentation, with clear, intense flavors. Read more.
Visit for brunch on Saturday or Sunday, when Camino serves bread cooked over a wood fire. Read more.
The patio seating is table service so check in with the host. Great beer selection, ask for a taste of you are unsure. Get the Brussels sprouts and wings if you're drinking with hungry friends.
They have alcoholic Ginger Beer, try it! And the Lagunitas Brown Sugga when it's on tap. THAT IS ALL
At night you can request a blanket & still sit outside!
Cocktails are made with love and care! Bucatini with Manila clams and charred squid, special donut, and dessert were favorites of the night. Stellar customer service, great experience!
Brunch on weekends is fabulous. Menu changes weekly, but everything has been the best. Perfect balance of sweet and savory. Cocktails are an excellent match. Portions and cost make this a great deal.
The tavern burger is delicious! Lots of unusual extras available. We also got the plum and peach bread pudding which was perfect! Great for hanging out and chatting
Christmas eve at the tavern. Temoor is Bartending.
Bring your dog to the front patio!! Lots of space and shaded on sunny afternoons.
Ricotta, chocolate cake, drinks, burrata, amazing
Carrot soup. Do it.
Now open for brunch. Try the French Toast, it's steamed to stay soft, then fried to get crispy. Awesome.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
