Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Oakland

Very attentive staff. Nice fish display for selection. Fish always properly prepared and boned at the table

We were visiting from out of state and had a friend from Europe visiting with us. We had prompt service, our server was attentive and everyone was friendly, the entrees were delicious. The option for the smaller portions on some items is appreciated. The portion size ordered was just right for everyone as we don’t like overeating or wasting food. The Smith has become one of our favorite restaurants to start our day when visiting. The bathrooms are very clean and well stocked with necessities. The photo booth is the best and has become tradition to visit prior to departing!

We have dined at Fiorelllo several times and have consistently enjoyed both the food and service. This time is was a Christmas dinner at the restaurant, which meant there was a festive atmosphere in addition to the usual excellent fare. Special recommendations for the Dover sole (my wife's favorite) and the veal cutlet marsala. Pricing is on the high side, but portions are large and we brought home enough of what we couldn't finish that we will have an excellent second dinner at our own dining table in the next day or so.

Reservations are a must. Crowded at the bar but much more serene in the restaurant proper. Good food reasonably priced. Seasonal menu available. We chose from both. It’s a classic. Enjoy!

Just had Christmas Eve dinner with my family and the food was excellent. The decorations were amazing and so beautifully done. Can’t wait to go back !
