The Best New Restaurants in Oakland, Berkeley, and the East Bay | Eater SF
"Sirene is the new restaurant from restaurant partners Paul Einbund and chef Gavin Schmidt, the duo behind San Francisco restaurant the Morris. The menu focuses mostly on seafood, with a few items getting the wood-fired oven treatment, like a grilled abalone dish dressed in garlic butter. Carnivores will also have a few meaty dishes to choose from such as the fried chicken. The Morris’s popular Chartreuse slushies will be ported over to the Oakland restaurant, but oenophiles will want to peruse the wine list from Einbund, a sommelier. Under Einbund and wine director Alec Cummings, the Morris was a finalist in the Outstanding Wine and Other Beverages Program category for the James Beard Awards." - Dianne de Guzman
