Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Oakland

This place is fantastic! Everything from the small plates (risotto), to main courses (mushroom pasta & rack of lamb) were excellent. The server steered us in just the right direction for wines that paired perfectly with our dinners. I also noticed that every meal that came out of the kitchen was closely inspected but the manager to make sure they were on the mark (and they were). This was an anniversary dinner for my wife and me, and we could not have chosen better! Highly recommend it!

Had an excellent dinner here while in town for a conference as this was located in our hotel. Menu was diverse but also had some staple items which is nice when travelling. I enjoyed the Lumpia appetizer and the Egyptian entree, both very tasting and well presented. The cocktails were well crafted and the server friendly and personable. Thank you for a nice dinner!

I've enjoyed multiple visits to Paris 66 for dinner and Sunday brunch, but last night may have been the best dining experience that I've had there so far. The pan seared lamb was absolutely magnificent, perfectly cooked and unbelievably tender; the waiter offered to get me a steak knife to cut it, but I didn't need one! The sauce chasseur was the perfect accompaniment to the meat and this was probably the most delicious lamb dish that I've ever had! Bracketed by escargots as an appetizer and crepes Versailles for dessert, this was a meal to remember! As always, my waiter was cheerful and attentive.

We ate at Otaru for the first time this evening, and I'm happy to say it was an incredible experience. I previewed the menu prior to our reservation, and it certainly did look daunting. However, our server Garrett and another server Angela made incredible recommendations and helped us create a memorable dinner. We opted for an appetizer of pork and shrimp buns and the portion size was great - in fact we could have split them. For our main course we were spoiled with delicious selections from both the Otaru Course and the Otaru Experience. I'm sure that we could have split one or the other, but having an individual portion of the amazing cold fish selections was great. We most definitely left with very, very full and happy bellies! Thanks for a great birthday meal, Otaru!

Great food & service as always! I left my banana bread pudding behind and when I called they had saved it for me and we were able to pick it up. Just the best service! Thank you!
