Bardo, a previously beloved restaurant, received mixed reviews from recent diners. Some found the food to be satisfactory, while others criticized the service and changes under new ownership. However, Sidebar stood out as a neighborhood gem with consistent food quality and attentive service. Dude Bar was praised for its delicious food and friendly service, making it a must-visit spot in Oakland. Overall, while some diners had mixed experiences at Bardo, other restaurants like Sidebar and Dude Bar left a positive impression on their customers.

Sidebar is a welcoming neighborhood dining place with a comfortable mood, excellently consistent food and attentive service. We're fortunate to have Sidebar in our neighborhood. View all feedback.

What Amit Meir dislikes about Sidebar:
We are huge fans of Bardo, so this was a bit of a disappointment. The salads were fine, my wife reports that the flatbread was good. The pasta was also good, too bad it took it over 45 minutes to arrive.Food: 4/5 View all feedback.

Dude Bar is the best place to eat in Oakland. My daughter was here from So Cal and we spent her birthday in there. Food was delicious, the service was super, so authentic and friendly. This is a superb spot! A must go!

We had a table at a window at 6pm before a concert at the Fox theater. Enjoyed refreshing cocktails, wedge salad, and a burger. My husband ordered the special mussels, and the chef graciously prepared them with a lemon wine garlic sauce, instead of the Thai coconut curry offered. Next time we will grab a drink and bites at the bar. The atmosphere is casual with a view of the lake.
