Great food, but for $100/pp can’t recommend this place. We had a reservation for the bar. The bar was such an awkward height, my husband and I both felt like we were reaching up for our food. It was also cramped. The napkins were paper, flatware was cheap and seemed cobbled together from a thrift store. Two of the wines by the glass were interesting but the other two were not drinkable. I looked up the white by the glass online, and the bottle retails for $10 in Europe. For this price, there are many better options in the area (like Rendezvous and Pizzaiolo). Or for 15% more go to Pomet and they’ll knock your socks off. Won’t be back.
Some of the most interesting plates I've had in a long time! Every dish is turned on its head with Finn's unconventional twist on flavors, adding complex sauces and sides that have me wondering exactly what I'm tasting... Not to mention the best focaccia on the
Posting this after my second experience here. The food is perfectly fine but nothing stood out. Shared the cod, focaccia, and miso pasta. Again not bad, but forgettable. Service was suuuuper slow both times. Asked for butter with the house bread since the oil served with it just wasn’t working for us. We were told “they don’t serve butter”. It’s not a unique request but…ok.All in all, the vibes are cute and the space is great. But there are better $100 dinners out there.
Daytrip is incredible, and the people there are amazing too.
This is the one restaurant in Oakland I come back to again and again. I go every time I have friends in town. The food is excellent, the vibe is very casual/unpretentious, and staff is great. Their celery salad and miso butter pasta get a lot of hype, but I am also always blown away by their crudo and tartare. Definitely come with a few people and share plates!
