Despite their phone message stating that they are open, they are actually closed. We drove there only to find the doors shut. It was very disappointing to have made the trip for nothing.

I have visited this restaurant multiple times and have consistently experienced slow service and always received incorrect orders. read more I have visited this restaurant multiple times and have consistently experienced slow service and always received incorrect orders.

We started with the calamari which was amazing, and their tarter sauce is some of the best I've ever had. (We eat ALOT of seafood. They also brought out these fried dough squares covered with powdered sugar and it was on the house! Very nice gal and her sonrunning the place that day. Personable, friendly and helpful about the menu and made the best lemon drop drink. We went after4pm, sorry no burgers after 4pm, but my husband got the braised short ribs with palente which I tried and was very very good (itdoesnt look like alot of food but its very filling for even a grown man! And I got the pasta dish linguini with tiger prawnsand garlic bread, also very good. Must try this restraunt if your in Oakland. Highly reccomend.

What has changed in Oakland? Tolly's, in historic Oakland is now Skog's, one of the newest happenings and worth the short side trip off of I-5 for a culinary experience at a fair price. There is more to enjoy then eating. The outdoor space iswelcoming, covered, and beautiful. Tolly's historic beauty and delightful décor is retained by the owners Vince and KatrinaGaeta. The menu- due to COVID restrictions- is limited, but varied. The quality of food is excellent and the long overduerevamping of Tolly's is a blessing to weary I -5 corridor travelers who longed for its return. The coffee by Illy's was smoothand excellent. One of my favorites. My choice (a barometer of all things on a menu is the burger) was the Rogue Blue Bacon &Portabella Burger with sweet potato fires. Excellent, see photo for proof. I can't wait until the inside is open. As many knowit is eye candy sporting a historic soda fountain. The double barrel shotguns adorn the doors of Turkey Hall soon to open thisApril adjacent to Skog's and another property of the Gaeta Family sporting a market theme. Can't wait for this addition toOakland, a soon to be destination day trip off of wearisome I-5.
