    Great for a meal after catching a flick at the Grand Lake Theater. Sit at the bar and order the burger with the thick cut steak fries.

    Try the Caged Heat Cocktail, its fantastic! The bartender and business partner are doing a kickstarter for the cocktail syrup. Check that out if you want to be a part of the craft cocktail revolution. Read more

    This was a great burger, but try something other than Gruyere. I made mine like a 'garbage salad'. The iceberg, pickled onion, cucumber and chipotle thousand island was perfectly complimented by Blue!

    Beef in particular is good here. Very good burger. The steak frites is a good choice and comes with an absolute mountain of fries. Get a few apps and share the steak.

    Every dish and every cocktail exceeded expectations. Surprise standout was the very simple side salad included with the portobello sammich.

    What the people are saying is true: this is one of the best burgers in Oakland. Get it with gruyere and smoked paprika fries!

    The steamed clams were really good, the chorizo in there was amazing, and had the pork chop with beans too, was pretty damn good except the cole slaw with it had too much mayo or something.

    Good atmosphere, good service, but nothing really special! It's really close to Lake Merritt, so you can take a walk after lunch/dinner!

    When you see goat cheese soufflé on the specials board, order it right when you're seated. You wouldn't want them to run out before you get your fork in one!

    They served a side of sliced pickles with my sandwich. Hands down the most delicious pickles I've ever had in my life by a long shot

    Overlooked item: the reuben here is amazing. Bread, dressing, meat are all perfectly proportioned; beats out many a deli--yes I am looking at you Saul's--effortlessly.

    Try the Shangai Buck: Localvore - Crusoe organic spices rum, Fruitlab organic orange liqueur, house ginger syrup, lime juice & seltzer.

    It's cliche these days to claim a restaurant serves burgers so good you'd stab a panda to get your hands on one, but trust me: it really is that good here.

    Best burger in Oakland, I think. Medium rare with the gruyere and herbed fried instead of the steak fries. And a vodka martini with a twist. Oh so good.

    On Wednesdays, the restaurant offers the signature twice-baked goat cheese souffle. Michael Bauer still ranks at the top of his all-time list of appetizers. Read more

    Try an excellent Classicist or Locavore cocktail with a hamburger covered in blue cheese and some oven baked fries...

    Cocktails were excellent; the meal was flavorless and not inexpensive. Stick with the bar, avoid the side tables.
