Mua

First time here, and this place was great, from the food to the service. I love the atmosphere. There was a live DJ, but the music wasn't overpowering, just enough to give off a wonderful vibe. I can't wait to go back.

Atmosphere, off top is amazing. The DJ played hits after hits. It was great. The service wasn’t terrible, just slow and we rarely got checked on (that could also be because it was pretty busy). The food wasn’t anything to highlight. The wings, don’t sound as great when reading the description, but were very delicious. We did the burgers and they had absolutely no flavor/taste; even after adding the aioli and ketchup. The drinks were ok, the Strawberry Ginger Lemonade was more like a juice with no alcohol. The Manhattan was pure alcohol. There is a 20% gratuity charged to every check, regardless of size of party. Would go again for the vibe and wings. Restroom was atrocious. Out of the 4, one was completely backed up and the others were filthy. Pretty gross and tight fit.

Incredibly mid to bad for every dish. Undercooked “medium” burger, the beet salad was embarrassingly bad, “Mac n cheese” was like a kids meal, and prices are way too high. The ribs were ok though. Vibe inside was cool enough but definitely not worth the trip

Southern comfort food in industrial setting with an urban flair. Came here for dinner with 4 other friends on a Friday evening around 8 and there was no wait. Reservations can be made in advance with Yelp. The area is spacious and good for big groups, but the seating upstairs may be too loud if there’s a DJ. Credit cards accepted. Street parking available. There are some vegetarian options. We ordered the vegan mac and cheese and the fried tofu for appetizers to split. As a non-vegan, the max and cheese still had a nice creaminess and good flavor. The tofu came with a sweet chili sauce that can be made spicier if you eat the peppers it comes with. For my entree, I had the fried chicken which came with a generous helping of coleslaw and a toasty cornbread. There were three pieces of chicken and it was juicy with good breading. Overall it was a good spot for eating a filling dinner before going out in Oakland.

They have pretty chill vibe in terms of aesthetics and music. I don't drink but their food is delicious. Bar tenders are also pretty chill and serve you very well! I take my friends here when they visit me from other states and they like it so far.

The catfish was literally the best flavored and cooked catfish I've had, and the greens were amazing too. The drinks were mixed right and properly strong. The bar service was great. Friendly bartenders.

Went here for dinner with the hubby. The service was great. We liked the ambience. Some of the art was a bit creepy for ME but I get why it's attractive to some. It has the hip vibe. The music is pretty loud so I'd say It's great for big or small group of friends and for fun date night but definitely not a romantic spot. The best dishes IMO were the pork ribs (fell off the bone), the chicken liver (great contrasting flavors) and the hamburger (we added provolone, avocado which they weren't stringy about, blue cheese). Only thing with the hamburger is we asked for medium pink in the middle but was more medium rare but I didn't send it back because flavor was good and didn't want to make a fuss. Next time I would make sure though. Pork ribs were delicious, must try! The pecan tart was yummy, a little too sweet but what pecan pie/tart isn't. And the bone marrow was ok. It was what my husband most wanted to try but was what we liked the least. Probably because we've had better bone marrow so we had high expectations. All in all good experience. Would recommend and would return for the ribs and chicken liver patê.

MANAGER ON DUTY (4/18/2025 evening shift) REFUSES TO ACCOMMODATE ALLERGIES. We ordered the Caesar salad, assuming like most places that the dressing was jarred or at least not made in-house with anchovies. Typically, when most restaurants make it in-house, it's clearly stated in their menu. This was not the case here. When I took a bite, I immediately realized it had anchovies in it--something my friend is allergic to. I told her not to eat it, and we let the staff know right away. Instead of being understanding, the manager refused to replace it with something else because it was "half eaten." I had literally taken one bite and told my friend not to touch it. When I pointed that out, the manager snarkily said, "We don't do samples here." I've never felt so insulted. We weren't trying to sample anything--we just wanted a replacement so my friend could have something to eat without risking an allergic reaction. The complete lack of empathy or willingness to accommodate a food allergy was honestly shocking and incredibly disappointing. We won't be coming back. It's too bad because I liked it here, but can't support a business who treats customers like this. I should also mention that the fries were soggy and cold, and the tofu wasn't crispy. We didn't complain about those items, cause we ain't out here "asking for samples" SMH.

Mua is a popular place that offers small & large plates. There is only street parking (and not in the best of areas). I think the dish that really blew my mind was the no cheese mac & cheese, which was made with butternut squash. Every time we bring friends here to try this they are amazed. Their bar is pretty extensive.

This is my favorite restaurant in Oakland! The restaurant is in a warehouse style building with Basquiat style art. They have a DJ on weekends and the genre varies. Overall it's a very Oakland vibe. The service is generally good, though they can get very busy. I recommend reservations for Friday and Saturday nights. All the food and drinks are delicious! The food options are a variety of cuisines, you can come here different and have a completely different style meal, and yet all the dishes pair well together. Whenever I come, I always get the no cheese mac n cheese. It sounds strange, but it's amazing. My favorite drink is the Billie Jean. They also have happy hour all night Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday and 5pm-7pm Friday and Saturday at the bar only.

Came here on a Friday evening for a friend's birthday dinner. Luckily she had made reservations because the place was packed. Checking in was a breeze and we were quickly seated. The venue and ambiance is such a vibe, really loved the candlelight and live DJ. Our server was great! He quickly came by to introduce himself and immediately took our order since we were ready to go. We ended up ordering family style and mostly only ordered appetizers. Appetizers: - Garlic Prawns: This dish SOO good! Really loved the sauce it was cooked in and how juicy the shrimp was. However the dish portion is quite small (4 prawns & 3 slices of baguette). - Guacamole & Chips: Can't go wrong with this classic appetizer! The Guacamole was very fresh, nicely seasoned and paired well with the crunchy chips. - Chicken Wings: Very saucy but packed with flavor! The flavor of the sauce was nicely balanced. - Brussel Sprouts: These were just ok, probably wouldn't order again. We just ordered it to have some greens lol. - Beef Bone Marrow: Probably one of our top fav appetizers of the night. I didn't like the pickles but that's just cus dislike pickles. - Fried Calamari: My fav dish of the night, it was breaded nicely and was so light/crispy. Comes with two sauces but honestly great on its own with some lemon juice on top! - Ribs: The meat was falling off the bone, it was soo good! Loved the sauce it was smothered in. A little messy to eat (obviously) but totally worth it! Entree: - Fried Chicken: My partner and I shared this entree. The cornbread was really good and moist. The chicken wasn't heavily breaded and was fried to perfection, chicken was also juice/moist. The coleslaw was just ok, wish we could've subbed for fries but they don't allow modifications. Luckily we ordered a side of fries so that paired nicely with the fried chicken. Overall, this is a great meeting spot for drinks and light snacks. If getting entrees, just know the portions aren't the biggest but the food is really delicious! Parking is a bit rough on busy nights, there is a parking lot however the lot and the surrounding street was already packed at 7:30pm. Luckily we took a rideshare so we didn't have to deal with the parking. I will definitely be back again to try their other dishes!

Mua is a gem in Oakland's dining scene, and if you haven't been there yet, you're in for a treat. The industrial-chic ambiance adds a unique vibe, making it a great spot for an evening out, whether you're with friends or on a date. Now, let's talk about the food. The Bone Marrow, is an absolute must-try. The marrow itself is rich and buttery, served with a crusty bread that perfectly complements its velvety texture. It's indulgent without being over-the-top, and every bite leaves you wanting more. The portion is just right, ensuring you can still explore other items on their eclectic menu. Service at Mua is consistently friendly and attentive. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and happy to make recommendations, which adds to the overall great experience. In summary, Mua offers a memorable dining experience with standout dishes like the Bone Marrow that keep you coming back. If you're looking for a place with great food, a lively atmosphere, and excellent service, Mua is definitely worth a visit.

Delicious Chicken Milanese! The arugula on top with capers and shallots just made the dish! Sitting at the bar was nice, but I wish that they had a better choice of wines. For a Cali bar why are you slinging French Pinots? We've got great Pinots on the West Coast! Anyway, when in the area I'll try again! The bartenders were nice!

Gosh it's been a minute since I've been to Mua. From what I can remember was back in 2019 for a friends bday and I wanted to plan a date night, so Mua was on my mind. So many new restaurants in the town of Oakland which I had no idea. Anyhoot, I'd like to say my experience was the same from the first time I went and we both enjoyed our dinner. No complaint's, and food was great. Definitely felt the same vibe and spacious venue, love they still have a dj and fun atmosphere

Came here without reservation right before going to Usher's concert. Place was so cute and actually pretty big,they have some seating outdoor and also upstairs. We did not realize how busy this place can get,host said to try to grab seats at the bar and lucky for us we got lucky and found two. The bar served everything on the menu. We ordered fried calamari for appetizers and we trued their ribeye served with french fries and loved it. Our bartender David made us some awesome drinks that was not on the menu and it was our favorite called naked and famous it was so delicious. We'll definitely be coming back to this placero enjoy the dining experience.

My husband and I got a night out without our toddler! I knew Mua as an Oakland staple and after reading more and a menu once over, seemed like the perfect date night spot. Did not disappoint! The vibe was fun! Romantic, soft lighting, almost dark. Live DJ spinning on the atrium second level. Service was friendly and attentive from beginning to end. Cocktails were fun and fresh! We shared plates and enjoyed everything. Well spiced and seasoned, each dish packed unique flavor. The real highlight though were the pork spare ribs... The meat was fall off the bone tender but had a nice charred crisp you still had to cut through. The sauce had a mole quality. It was thick, heavily savory spiced but sweet and bright with cinnamon and herbs. Left a comforting coat in your mouth. I'd love to know for how long and how low they cook these for! Absolutely yum! We will absolutely be back for more ribs and other delights! Thanks to all at Mua for a lovely evening in Oakland!

I've been here several times and the vibes are through the roof! The music, the food, the drinks...10/10 recommend. I love visiting this place and ordering several things off the menu to share!

Brussel Sprouts were solid but then we found a small piece of sharp rusty metal in them. Called and the response was less than empathetic. Giving them two stars as I'm hoping this isn't a normal occurrence. Not gonna be back anytime soon.

We stopped at @muaoakland in Oakland, for a quick dinner and I must say that the small plates are as impressive as the vibe. We enjoyed a few standouts that definitely make it a must-visit. The Chicken Liver Pate which was luxuriously smooth, and perfectly seasoned, served with a crostini baguette The Chicken Wings are incredibly crispy outside while remaining tender and juicy inside, with a coating that balances sweet and spicy flavors beautifully. The Garlic Prawns are cooked to perfection--plump and tender with a garlicky, buttery sauce that begs for extra bread to soak it up. The Collard Greens with Bacon are fresh and well-seasoned, a vibrant and flavorful complement to the richer dishes. Those who know me, know that I'm a tough Greens critic but these definitely passed the test! The Bismarck was fruity and sweet while The Rusty Nail was smooth, smoky and sweet For desert, The Pineapple Upside-Down Cake paired with The 10-Year Port was absolutely amazing a delicious burst of flavors in your mouth that you will enjoy! Highly recommended for anyone exploring Oakland's culinary scene!

The vibe and space is amazing! They even have a room for private events. Loved the artwork and the staff there! The food was decent but sometimes hit or miss. The Brussels sprouts for us just were not seasoned enough and not crispy enough. The wings were saucy and so flavorful! The bone marrow was tasty but the presentation made it more difficult to serve. If it was cut in half it would be easier to scoop out and serve to the table etc. I really enjoyed the no cheese mac and cheese! It definitely doesn't taste like cheese but the flavors were still tasty and creamy! The fried polenta and that sauce was packed full of spices and flavor with just a slight heat. You've got to try the grilled Caesar salad! I'm not one for cutting my salad but the love was definitely put into this salad. The ribeye steak was so yummy with that herb butter and so big it is perfect to share! Now the real star of the show in my opinion are the cocktails! Beautifully mixed and they know what they are doing! The flourless almond cake was unfortunately super dry. I know what you are thinking, sometimes that happens with flourless cakes, but I've had really balanced flourless treats and this one just didn't meet the mark for me. The affogato however, that was perfect. Our server, Justin was fabulous and took good care of us! The staff were friendly and really fun too!

I really need to go back here to hopefully give a better review. I really think it would better. The interiors are amazing. It looks like you are in some type of Indiana jones bar. The service seemed ok, but our server was very particularly over the top. I got the steak as it seemed like a good way to judge a new place. I will never ever get the steak there again. Also it lacked any flavor. It rested on top of the fries so those just ended up soggy. My date had charred caesar salad which was pretty good. All the food are well sized portion but far too much for me.

great location for dinner before a night out. our waiter was fabulous, but service was still slow. it was quick packed however. you need to reserve in advance to get a table. the food was alright, we ordered the caesar, lamb, and Brussel sprouts. you would think the lamb is served on a bed of polenta but it's a one inch thick slab of minced garlic. not my favorite. portions were decent and i took leftovers home. nothing to write home about.

This family run restaurant has been around for over sixteen years, but Jamie W. and I only recently ambled in here after a cocktail at Thee Stork Club down 24th (review: https://yelp.to/ahEct4AHPT). We were surprised how expansive the space was because we had no clue what an eclectic and open warehouse it was inside. We were even more surprised that the menu consisted mostly of comfort favorites. Co-owners Hi-Suk and San-Ju Dong have an extensive culinary background that wouldn't settle for a straight forward homestyle execution. We saw that with our first entree, the $28 Fried Chicken, which consisted of five tender, bone-in pieces lightly breaded and fried and served in a metal bucket accompanied by a slice of moist cornbread and a scoop of Asian-style cole slaw (photo: https://yelp.to/Yn44OqjdGt). We decided to split the $19 #CBQ Burger, a fully loaded vegan burger made of chickpea, bulgur, quinoa, walnuts, and spices. It came with tomato, onion, cole slaw, and sprouts, along with a side of fries and aioli (photo: https://yelp.to/qjUnIrdx_z). It was honestly among the more satisfying vegan burgers either of us had. The $15 Shiitake Mushroom Crostini was our starter. It was tasty though a tad oily with the abundant sliced shiitake mixed with herb goat cheese and arugula (photo: https://yelp.to/8aqGbmFU9P). Both of us smartly went non-alcoholic with our libations - the $7 Arnold Palmer for Jamie and the $10 Low Down for me, a refreshing blend of pineapple, ginger, lime, mint, jalapeño, and tajin rim (photo: https://yelp.to/QQkkrkidjj). It was a genuinely satisfying meal that we returned a couple of weeks later. We went a little higher end with our choices this time by starting with the creamy $12 Chicken Liver Pate topped with pickled onions and sliced pear on crostini (photo: https://yelp.to/Gm43H_ruko). Our main splurge was the $45 Tagine, a generously portioned and quite unexpected Moroccan braised lamb shank with saffron and couscous (photo: https://yelp.to/kWv9BEuu9G). Savory good and quite tender. We decided on a third choice we ended up finishing at home, the $24 Soft Shell Crab Po'Boy with cole slaw, spicy aioli, and fries (photo: https://yelp.to/Rw3HOv22cv). It was crispy-chewy good and held up well for lunch the day after. Yep, Jamie and I discovered a new favorite, and it only took us sixteen years to find it. So much for our aspirations of being culinary trendsetters. Mua worked for us. FOOD - 5 stars...our batting average was impressively high here AMBIANCE - 5 stars...love the spaciousness SERVICE - 4.5 stars...pretty attentive and surprisingly fast TOTAL - 5 stars...if you need comfort food with style in big portions but definitely not diner prices - this be it RELATED - Exploring Oakland? Here's my collection of places I've patronized and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2ObVcpQ

The Billie Jean cocktail at Mua in Oakland is an absolute delight! This refreshing drink features a delicious blend of gin, elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and a splash of tonic, all beautifully garnished with a cucumber slice. It's light, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, making it incredibly tasty. Whether you're enjoying it on a night out or a casual evening, the Billie Jean is a must-try for cocktail lovers! Any drinks or food on this menu is stellar! Always plays great music.

I parked right next to the restaurant and got my window smashed while dining here... such a terrible experience. The restaurant is super eccentric with lots of mannequins, taxidermy and crazy art pieces. I love that the dishes are shareable and so many options to choose from. The alcoholic drinks were SO delicious. I ordered Beef Bone Marrow, Beef Carpaccio, No Cheese "Mac N Cheese", Garlic Prawns, Mussels and One Pound Ribeye Steak. The Beef Bone Marrow was delicious on toast, so buttery and loved the pickles to balance the dish. I also really like how the No Cheese "Mac N Cheese was made of butternut squash, it was so tasty and loved the concept. The Garlic prawns were HUGE and perfectly poached in butter. The appetizers and sharing dishes tasted way better than the entree dishes. The Mussels came out raw which we had to send back. The One Pound Ribeye Steak looked better than it tasted. I really didn't like how they put the steak on top of the bed of fries which was soaked with blood from my medium-rare steak. This is definitely a great place to grab delicious drinks with friends! I just wish it was in a better location.

I went here for a birthday dinner, party of 9. They wouldn't seat us until everyone arrived, not even when there was already 7 of us there. However, later in the night I saw another large party who had 2 people arrive later to join. The host in the front wasn't too friendly. The food here is really good, I recommend the Milanesa and Mac & cheese. Cocktails are also pretty good. I would come back for this alone, however they will rush you to leave if you stay past 10:30 pm. They kept reminding us they were closing in a cold tone even though they still had 3 other tables there. Definitely go for date night or smaller groups, I wouldn't reserve anything past 9 pm.

The first time we went here, we were so pleased. Fantastic cocktails and good food - the no cheese Mac and cheese is a must! I don't like butternut squash that much and it blew me away. We got ribs, polenta, and catfish. All were pretty good. The server was great. I went back last week and wasn't as pleased, unfortunately. We got the chicken Milanese and it was nothing special topped with a huge bunch of arugula. Two people could split this one for sure though. I don't get the arugula craze ‍ love the vibe here and the service is pretty good but probably would only go back for drinks or to try dessert

Hubby and I went here for the first time last weekend and it was absolutely out of this world!! Best fried chicken in the bay, the burger was amazing too! Their crab cakes and garlic shrimp were exceptional. I love their drink selection, and wide array of small plates to choose from. The waiter was so sweet and attentive, excellent service from head to toe. The decor was so uniquely Oakland, beautifully artistic and gritty, yet elegant and clean. We will be regulars here for sure! :)

Chicken Milanese was the best! Beet salad was kind of blah... but service was good and food overall was yummy.

Great southern food with great music. Not too loud and not too busy on a Thursday evening after the holidays. The catfish with rice was a hit. Actually everything was a hit and the burger was to die for. I will definitely come here again.

We were in town for All-Star weekend and initially went to High 5ive, but my husband wasn't feeling the vibe. He walked down the street, checked out MUA, and quickly texted me to switch venues--and I'm so glad we did! The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for, with great music and a cool mix of character, architecture, and décor. We sat at the bar, had great service, and enjoyed some tasty drinks. The garlic prawns were delicious! We've saved this spot to visit again next time we're in the area.

I was just back at Mua within the last couple of days. What I can say is that the menu has stayed the same with the exception of a thing or 2 over the years. I appreciate that, nothing like going to a restaurant thinking your going to have the same entree as last time and the menu has changed .... Again. My friend always picks Mua or one other establishment when she is in Oakland. I am going to have to get her out more in the Bay. The food was good. Service was ok but our server was nice. Nothing to overly tip for. Ultimately, the food was good but my chicken Milanese was a bit rubbery. One off on several occasions that I have ordered this dish. The Drinks are still on point though. The bar is diverse and well stocked.

Delicious and friendly service in an odd part of town. easy parking and easy to get in without reservations

The food was well seasoned and delicious! Any seafood at Mua is going to be amazing. I had the crab po'boy was nice and soft, plus where else can you get a sandwich with a whole crab? Highly recommend trying it! The calamari was also a hit. But the star at the table was the fried chicken (not pictured)! The chicken is fried to perfection and was honestly finger licking good. Definitely a must try when going to Mua. I did have to take a star back because I wanted more/different sides with my chicken.

When reading the reviews they seem to be all over the place. Those that love it really love and those that don't really don't. I personally think it is very solid. Going in I was on full alert based on the reviews I read. When we walked in there is the bar before you even get to the hostess stand. The bartender told us it was happy hour for about 45 more minutes, so we quickly grabbed drinks. The drinks that are normally $15'ish were $10 for happy hour. He was really nice and very engaging making jokes. Moving on to the host. She lacked personality but seemed okay at her job. We needed a high chair and she seemed a little bothered that she had to move the seating around to accommodate. The vibe- I loved the vibe. Some reviews talked about the loud music. I found the music to be just fine. We had 7 in our party and I could hear everyone just fine. The food was solid. I ordered the mussels and frites and they were very good. Some reviews mentioned the frites being soggy since they are on top of the broth and mussels, I can see why someone may feel that way, but I think it was fine. Our server wasn't memorable but she wasn't bad. All in all I think this place is just fine.

Love Mua! The ambience inside is super cute and they were playing good music. We enjoyed the drinks and food. Calamari portion could be bigger. Collard greens were on the sweeter side. The one pound steak is perfect for 2 to share. I wish they would put the fries on the side so they don't get soggy. Over real great date night

The interior of this place was really unique! Kinda looked like an old warehouse that was repurposed with an urban aesthetic. I came for a work team dinner so we had a pretty large party. Service was nice but it did take a while to order and get our food (probably because we had maybe 40 people and there were maybe 2 servers?). The food itself was pretty good and the portions were HUGE! I didn't even order an entree myself and was able to share from my coworkers' dishes easily.

Service is good. Ordered the ribs, wings, crab cake, chips and guac, bone marrow, and prawns. Everything was good, the sauce on the ribs and chicken wasn't the best.

Tried Mia for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The vibe of the place is very chill. Large warehouse space modified into a restaurant. The food was delicious, the DJ very cool, service was exceptional. The grilled Cesar salad was a nice change up from regular salads.

Mua, for years, was a consistent, reliable spot for dinner or happy hour. The last two years, something has changed with the food and service. While the ambiance is still bumpin (I appreciate that they've kept their art, DJs and bartenders), the service has gone downhill, and the last few times I've been, the staff has been inconsistent and inattentive. The flavors and quality of the food have unfortunately followed suit. The mac & cheese, once a staple, now tastes sweet, and has been served cold several times. The wings are pretty good, burger is OK, and polenta tastes bland. Other items have been entirely removed from the menu, or modified and less seasoned. Mua used to take names in flavor, service, and experience in Oakland, and it saddens me to write this review because I've had many memorable nights and celebrations with loved ones here. I hope they can turn things around during these trying times.

Southern comfort food in industrial setting with an urban flair. Came here for dinner with 4 other friends on a Friday evening around 8 and there was no wait. Reservations can be made in advance with Yelp. The area is spacious and good for big groups, but the seating upstairs may be too loud if there's a DJ. Credit cards accepted. Street parking available. There are some vegetarian options. We ordered the vegan mac and cheese and the fried tofu for appetizers to split. As a non-vegan, the max and cheese still had a nice creaminess and good flavor. The tofu came with a sweet chili sauce that can be made spicier if you eat the peppers it comes with. For my entree, I had the fried chicken which came with a generous helping of coleslaw and a toasty cornbread. There were three pieces of chicken and it was juicy with good breading. Overall it was a good spot for eating a filling dinner before going out in Oakland.

This is a long awaited review ! I've been coming here for years ! From my corporate get together to date nights and with friends and family . The drinks are superior . The food is always good! I love the industrial vibes and the unique decor . Service is always great as well !

Highly recommend for high energy environment with good food and cocktails/mocktails! Parking is the only downside.

We came here for a friends birthday dinner on a Sunday evening. This place was perfect for our vegetarian friendly group. Lots of reasonably priced items with a great diversity of small plates. We also ordered drinks. Tried nearly all the drinks because we all ordered different ones. Each one was fantastic. There were also gluten friendly options. Service was amazing! And not crowded for a Sunday evening. They also have a cute bar area if you just want drinks. My favorite items were the no Mac n cheese, the beets salad, and the guac and chips. Overall I would 100% come back again!

Dinner wise we couldn't get into it. Drinks and happy hour food we love. Love the space. Great service and staff. One of the best bar tenders in Oakland. The spot has kind of wiggled it's way into being a must have once a week. Looking forward to going back next week.

Wow the customer service here is amazing. My sister mistakenly booked a reservation for the wrong date and they were still able to accommodate us. The staff were all so nice and attentive. We all decided to do family style so we all ordered two mac and cheese, rib eye steak and fries, beef bone marrow, beef carpaccio, garlic prawns, Brussels sprouts, chicken wings, crispy tofu, grilled romaine, burrata plate, and grilled salmon. Everything was decent but wished the portion size was bigger for the price. If I had to choose one dish I like the most then it would be the Mac and cheese.

O woah. I can't believe it's been awhile since I was here. I loved all the interesting food so much before the pandemic that I picked up my parents in San Jose and drove them here to eat, then dropped them off and drove home. That's how much of a great experience I had the past few times (pre-pandemic). Since the pandemic, I didn't have a chance to come by until yesterday. I had a pleasure of sitting on the 2nd floor the first few times pre-pandemic, that I didn't realize the spacious ambiance on the first floor. It was weird to be a cool day, but then some sort of a green house hot effect in the back. But then, I got used to it until I was on my way out and feel how cool the difference was between the 2 areas. Pricing-wise, it's one of the $$$ places. We kept getting the host come by every so often to come check on us. I didn't know if it's because there's not enough tables so they're acting like they're rushing us out, or we over welcomed our stay?? Either way, when I left, there were plenty of seats/tables, even out in the front. So... I don't know why I felt so rushed when someone kept checking in on us. Drink: definitely the Doma is my fav! It's citrusy and rimmed with tajin. Major yum!! Dish: definitely always will get a serving of bone marrow. As my friend stated, you can totally tell the citrusy oil infused with the marrow. Love!!

Food was so good, seriously amazing. Drinks were excellent too. Staff is an entirely different story. Indifferent at best, rude and cold at worst. We asked to add a fifth person (from 4) to a reservation and they made us wait an hour.:. Before seating us next to 4 open tables (that had already been open) that were never occupied. All service made us feel stupid; rushing us to order, pay, asking for tips, etc. Really brutal service. Incredibly sad piano music to force people out then loud DJ music and them asking us to leave. Appreciate great service and this wasn't that.

Great food, service and ambience! Was able to get street parking close by for a Saturday dinner, always a plus.

Ambiance and atmosphere is a cool, little vibe, great place to have casual dining with friends and family. Music can be a little loud but the dj played some good hits. I found myself having to speak up from time to time to not drown out from the music. Had the Mac n cheese and collard greens 9/10 it was bussin! Maybe because I was hungry lol Ordered the 1lb ribeye steak, medium rare 6/10 it tasted more on the medium well side, hard to slice and texture was too rough and chewy. Would've been a higher rating had my steak been cooked accordingly to my preference. The pink lemonade w vodka drink was fruity and good along w basic Merlot/Cabernet wine. Server took our appetizer order and food arrived promptly. She pretty much ghosted the entire time after that, and mostly tended to the tables right next to us. Asked for red pepper flakes and idk what happened with that but ‍

Twice coming here and ambiance was spot on, but food overall was OK for the prices charged. I started to question whether maybe try some other options at this price point. Service was good, our waiter and bus boy were attentive.

Super cute place. The vibes reminded me of the arts district in DTLA. We walked in without reservations at 5pm and had no issues getting a table. Ehhh I thought the food here was just OKAY. Baratta - portobello, sweet pepper, zucchini, balsamic, and stale baguette. it wasn't anything special. Bread that came with it was pretty stale. Few veggies just drizzled with balsamic. It's nothing special. Beef carpaccio- while I wasn't a fan of most of the items, this one was prob one of my fav. So flavorful. Good to share for two. Collard greens- had bacon bits but again, it wasn't anything special. Calamari- we ordered two because we were so hungry. It was decent. Paired with two dipping sauces. No cheese Mac made with butternut squash and cream- I just had one bite and didn't go back in for more. Honestly just tasted like something you could pick up at Trader Joe's Crab cake - super fishy tasting. Not a fan. I only had one bite and was so over it. Beef bone marrow - gremolata (parsley, lemon zest, garlic), conichon, toasted levain bread. Another stale bread. The bone marrow itself was pretty good. Strawberry ginger lemonade - hanger one buddha's hand vodka, strawberry, ginger puree, lemon. SO YUMMY but I'm a total lightweight so I had a few sips and got totally drunk. But I didn't want to stop drinking. It was yums Overall had a good time with friends. But would I go back for the food ? Hard pass

Went in on Sunday around 6pm. They had no available tables based on reservations so we sat at the bar (small and noisy, with loud music and football on the tv) and were served quickly , thankfully before the reservations came in as they were like three huge parties. Ordered multiple plates to try a little bit of everything. The chicken was a large portion and topped off with arugula . It was not too thick or too thin but just right and not heavily battered, moist with good flavor. Also ordered the Burrata which came with multiple veggies and a sweet drizzle , perfect combo so good. Garlic prawns were ok but had too much oil in my opinion and not enough garlic but cooked just right. For dessert we got an affogato (strong espresso & vanilla ice cream) that was just right paired with the flourless almond cake.

This place is perfect for a date night or a group night out. It's obvious that food got some attention from the kitchen with tasteful touches. Service was a bit slow from our experience but depending on how busy they are! Price is comparable with same service and quality you should expect. It has live musik and DJ on Friday / Sat nights, could be very loud ambient. There is very nice floor with potentials foot a club or events!

Interesting choices and good portions. We had the Mac & "cheese," Brussels sprouts, short ribs, and beet salad to start. For entrees, we had the shrimp (a starter on the menu), the fried chicken (spicy coating with black pepper), and mussels. Service was attentive and friendly. The industrial interior is fine, but there is a DJ and music that was far too loud for any conversations. We were meeting a friend to catch up and this was not the right place for that. We recommend for the food and service, especially if you are a party.

Quirky ambiance- lots of little mannequins hanging around and a fun door decoration at the front! It was easy for a party of 6 to grt a table at 7PM, and still had a good number of people to add to the vibes. Would not come here for the food specifically, but would come for a small hangout at an interesting venue!

Surprisingly nice space, acoustics good, you can have a conversation at the table. Mua Manhattan was good as was the fried chicken.
