The 25 Best Restaurants In Oakland - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"The Salty Pearl makes the case that every day should be a casual wine and oyster day (though, they’re only open four days a week). At this seafood restaurant in Jack London Square, you’ll eat oysters that are fresh as hell, crudo covered in citrusy, herb-infused olive oil, and clams casino overflowing with bacon. There’s also a great cold lobster roll that’s way more meat-packed than the average lobster roll, and a burger dripping with cheese. Still, you’re coming here for those bivalves and crudo, and to spend time with some pet nat in a space that feels like a tasteful nautical clubhouse, complete with a smooth playlist and lots of natural light." - lani conway, julia chen 1
