"One of Uptown Oakland’s newest hotspots, Viridian is a photogenic dream, quickly becoming a destination for its stylish, cinematic space and Asian-inflected sweets — it boasts a dessert menu that’s twice as long as its dim sum menu. Gorgeous, savory cocktails like the Yuzu Bamboo — combining flavors like yuzu, sesame, and Shao Xing wine with vermouth and curaçao — balance out the sweets." - Ellen Fort, Eater Staff
