Review

Treasure-hunters in the Lake Merritt area prize this "chic" "jewel" for its "consistently delicious", thoroughly "memorable", "bright" Cal-Med entrees and small plates, "creative cocktails" and "great wine selection", commending the "expert bartenders who walk you through the list"; it's a "testament" to the "delightful owners" that it's "filled with regulars, not just those seeking the hippest new spot", so settle in for meze "on a warm East Bay night and forget all your troubles."

Review

The chef "pushes the creative envelope" at this "sleeper" serving "fabulous Cal-Med fusion cuisine"; though it's a bit "pricey for the neighborhood" - near Oakland's Lake Merritt - the "appealing casual/chic interior", proprietors who "treat patrons like family" and a "full bar with inventive cocktails" have many diners deeming it a "destination."
