Sirene - Review - Oakland - San Francisco - The Infatuation
"The people behind The Morris have a new seafood spot near the Grand Lake Theatre. And like the Morris, it’s a destination restaurant disguised as a casual neighborhood bistro. The multi-room space embodies the warmth of a candle, thanks to abundant brick and a roaring wood-fired oven (a relic from the spot's previous Sister and Boot & Shoe days). For your aquatic feast, start with their charcuterie, like the shrimp chorizo and duck and lobster mortadella, followed by the seasonal crab salad in a fragrant passionfruit aguachile, and the gnocchi parisienne that’s a fluffy-cheesy dream. Sirene knows that great comfort food is fried, so there’s textbook fried chicken you can dress up with various sides including octopus kimchi sauce. Our play is to spend quality time with the seafood dishes and many glasses of wine." - Lani Conway
