I come to Oakland, California a few times a year, and I cannot help notice what a great job the local business is doing here. Chop Bar is near Jack London Square in what looks like an industrial part of Oakland, CA much in the way of the artistic Bohemian style of De Pijp, Amsterdam. I ordered the breakfast burrito with carnitas. $21.00 The unique blend of cooking styles in California, particularly Oakland where you get a fusion of Asian cuisine, Mexican cuisine, etc... gives that simple dish (burrito) a certain flare not found in many spots. Chop Bar has a full bar, with specialty cocktails, bloody Marys. Great ambiance with large glass window views from a reformed warehouse/loft environment decorated with local, relevant cultural themes makes this place a winner! Their signature award winning dish is the Oxtail Poutine over fries. Great spot to stop in and chat with friends over a couple of drinks and comfort food. Price range between $10.00 appetizers to $27.00 high end of entre spectrum. Lovely, friendly staff. No stuffiness, very attentive.
