- JJeanSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe food at Yoshi's is excellent, as is the service. They have plenty of well-trained staff to service the clientele. While expensive, the quality of the food is excellent and I felt we were not overpaying for what we ordered (unusual these days!). And we could talk without needing to yell to be heard, yay! I do wish wine by the glass wasn't so expensive.... We had a very nice experience and look forward to going back.More infoYoshi's OaklandPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Oakland•4.7
- LLeslieSan Francisco Bay Area •6 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAcre never disappoints. This was no exception. There was a delay in the kitchen and food was taking longer than usual to come out. We barely noticed because we were with old friends catching up. But the manager came out and apologized and brought us a free appetizer and comped another round of drinks, so we were all good!More infoACRE Kitchen and BarPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Oakland•4.6

- GGarySan Francisco Bay Area •14 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoNice place for our group of six to sample several things. We had two paellas and and one order of tapas per person, and it was more than enough. An order of paella would have been more than enough for just two of us.More infoLa MarchaPrice: Expensive• Spanish• Berkeley•4.6
