Battambang Restaurant Oakland, CA
Very good Cambodian restaurant! I've been there 3-4 times since discovering it a couple of month ago. I especially like the steamed fish in banana leaves. Also good was their curry dishes. Also, unlike most asian restaurant, their dessert was extraordinary! I ordered the jackfruit rice pudding and the fried banana. Don't miss out on this Oakland gem!
Fifth Floor San Francisco, CA
Excellent! This is probably the best place I've eaten in San Francisco! My dining experience was very memorable! I had the tasting menu and one of the dish, mushroom tart with white truffle sauce, was AMAZING. George Morrone turned a simple dish into heaven! Speaking of which, I got to meet George Morrone himself. He went to every table asking how the food was. A very nice and personable chef! I would go everyday if I have the money!
The Slanted Door San Francisco, CA
I can't understand why people compared this place to Le Cheval!!Le Cheval doesn't deserve to be the same breath as the slanted door. The food here more refined Vietnamese fusion compared to the garbage Le Cheval being putting out. Yes, the portions are on the tiny side but compared to Ana Mandaras, the price is a little cheaper for what you get. The place do tend to get noisy (I could barely hear my waitress) but it's not a place you would bring a date to. Instead, bring a bunch of people and enjoy the wonderful ambiance. Don't miss out on the fantastic wine selection also.
Le Cheval Oakland, CA
I don't know what the fuss is all about? I hear always hear good thing about this place, that it is the best Vietnamese restaurant in the East Bay so I had to go try it. I was truly disappointed. I went with a group of friends and my girlfriend and I arrived first. We were told there wasn't any tables available since we didn't have a reservation. Disappointed, we left. 10 minutes later, my friends arrived and were able to get seating even though they didn't have a reservation also. This should have clued us in on the service of the restaurant. Anyways, service was terrible. Teenage waitress/waiters not caring about their job, more inclined to stand around and talk to their friends and service. We had to waive down one of them to even get water. 2 of my orders were wrong. The food wasn't anything spectacular. The banana dessert was old and stale. The only thing that was good was the spring rolls. I was one of the worst dining experience I ever had. Go to Vi's three blocks down. MUCH MUCH BETTER FOOD!!!
Bread GArden Berkeley, CA
I know this place by Breads of India. This place is the best Indian restaurant i've been to. It's a shame they don't take reservation. I don't know why they don't expand the place. Anyways, every meal I had here is delicious and the naan bread are the best I've tasted. The menu changes everyday so you'll likely won't eat the same thing twice. I service gets a little pushy but I understand because there a line of people trying to get in. Wonderful!
Ajanta Berkeley, CA
Pretty good Indian food. Not as good as Breads of India but good anyway. The naan bread is a little disappointing. The price is a little high for the quality of the food though. Service is very good.
Mifune Restaurant San Francisco, CA
Excellent udon and soba noodles. The prices are very reasonable. I usually order the iron pot noodles if i'm really hungry since they give you a lot of food. I try to go here at least once a month to get my noodle fix.
Chapeau! San Francisco, CA
This is a very good French Bistro. The food is very good and the dessert was excellent. What really stands out was the service. Phiippe and his staff was excellent! They were friendly and efficient. You don't see this kind of service anymore. Also, let Philipppe choose your wines for you. You cannot go wrong with his selection. This man really know his wines.
Julie's Supper Club San Francisco, CA
Terrible!! We went with a large party and had the prix fixe dinner menu they have for the party. I had salmon with saffron and tarragon in tomaoto broth. It was one of the worst entree I ever had. The food came out cold. The appetizer was better but not by much. The Jewelees was o.k. but the beer battered catfish was soggy and cold. The music very loud. You could not hear the person next to you. The service wasn't bad though it felt like we were rush out of the door. I would not go back!
Pho Hoa Lao Oakland, CA
The best Pho in the East Bay!! Service is o.k. but you're never in there long enough to care. Pho is served very quickly and it is wonderful. Don't have much choices on the menu but I think this place specialize in Pho.
On the Bridge San Francisco, CA
For the price, On the Bridge is very good. I love their delicious curry dishes and creative creation (curry spaghetti?). Good place for a quick meal or pre movie meal.
Jitr Thai Restaurant Alamo, CA
The food here is decent. The prices are a little high compared to other Thai restaurants in the Bay Area. What makes this place so terrible is the service. We came here on a Monday night and there weren't that many people. There were maybe 5 tables filled and we were ignored for the whole evening. We had to stop the waiter several times just to get our water filled. We even waited 15-20 minutes to get the check. I would never go back to this restaurant again!!
Caffe Giovanni Berkeley, CA
This place is awful. They messed up the food on all my visits. They messed up on spaghetti. How could you mess up spaghetti?!! Sevice is o.k., sometimes forgetfull. Don't intend to go back or recommend it to anyone.
Majestique Pinole, CA
O.K. Vietnamese food. Had better at Oakland chinatown. It's a fairly new restaurant so maybe they hit their stride. They have delicious spring rolls though.
In-N-Out Burger Pinole, CA
Good burger for a fastfood joint. Menu is limited but I don't what the hype is all about. Foster Freeze has better fast food burger. But I rather eat at Barney's or Fatapple for my burger fix.
168 Restaurant Albany, CA
Average Taiwanese food. Food were warm when it came out. They must have microwaved the food. Service is terrible if you don't speak Mandarin. Excellent drinks though. Try the watermelon juice or any pearl drinks.
Zachary's Chicago Pizza Berkeley, CA
Good pizza! Portions are a little small for single slices. Their deep dishes is very good. Pizza are always very hot also. Good place to eat if you crave pizza but I probably go to Tommaso's for the ulimate pizza fix.
Skates On The Bay Berkeley, CA
Great view with good seafood. The grilled dishes are generally good if not spectacular. A good place to take visitors to show them a view of the City.
Peking Garden Restaurant Pinole, CA
O.K. food. Mongolian beef is really good though. Service is terrible and sometime rude. When ordering for take-out, try to know what you're ordering or they will hang up on you. Really rude service.
Hunan Villa Restaurant Pinole, CA
Good place for lunch. Service is very efficient and friendly. The decor is very industrial. Not your typical chinese restaurant decor. Food is average. Too much sauce. Portions are huge though.
