Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Oakland

It was a pretty packed Thanksgiving night. Our wait was minimal, 5-7 minutes at best, the we were seated. We were greeted soon by a professional, pleasant, and courteous server, who helped us with corkage, water, and napkins, as well as (later) pointing meat servers our way. Corkage fee was $20, quite reasonable. Our child under 12 got 50% discount. The salad bar consisted of a wide selection of greens and salads, sliced ham/salami, smoked salmon, as well as capers, heart of palms, grilled bell peppers, garlic in oil, chili in oil. There was also hot items such as lobster bisque, turkey (with a side of cranberry sauce), rice, and potate au gratin. The meat selection was awesome, sumptuous, and of high-quality meat. We tried filet and filet in bacon; sirloins of regular, spice, and spicy flavors; leg of lamb; parmesan pork and parmesan chicken, and sausages. Part way through, the server brought cheese balls, mashed potatoes, and fried plaintains for us to share. At the end, there were many desserts choices to choose from; but, we could only pick two to share among six people. Between the wine, the delicious meat, the side dishes, and the pleasant conversation of thanks, we had a really fantastic Thanksgiving at Texas de Brazil. Our true appreciation to the servers who sacrificed Thanksgiving with family so we could have ours eating out. Thank you!

We had a delicious dinner, and the service was great!

This was our first time at Off the Hook and we were certainly not disappointed. We had an appetizer trio and clam chowder to start and then followed that up with scallops and shrimp. Everything was so delicious! Our server, Sydney, was so great and answered every question that we had. I have a gluten allergy and there were so many safe options for me. Everything came out marked as gluten free so it made me very comfortable. We will absolutely be back!

Everything is always AMAZING with the food, the service, and extras. This is my go to restaurant for guests visiting, and my own meetings, or get together with friends and family. Everything is consistently 5 star! There's no place I'd rather have a meal than Juniper Grill!

My friend and I had the three branches dinner . It was so delicious! Preceded by a glass of champagne. The host told us the story of the restaurant and the property. The server was excellent. We were stuffed so had no room for dessert. The chef was kind enough to wrap it to go. Worth the trip from Ohiopyle!
