Wonderful Mediterranean Menu in a charming location across from Jack London Square. Eat downstairs, large full bar upstairs. Entertainment sometimes. Dine around 5 - 7 and see the parade of sailboats coming home from a day of sailing. Sat & Sunday is best to see the racers returning from the Bay with colorful spinakers up. Next to the Commodore fleet of party boats.

The Afro-Latino seafood restaurant is the love child of Executive Chef Nelson German. His menu features signature dishes such as the peel ‘n’ eat shrimp drowned in romesco sauce and the Braised Angus Oxtail derived from his mother’s recipe. The ever changing menu, reflecting locally-sourced and sustainable ingredients, is made to with love to share with friends and family on any given night. This is a must try in Uptown Oakland. Chef just might make you something special off the menu.

The Lake Chalet Seafood Bar & Grill

Reviewed By BStewart27

Medical people very often attend drug company presentations at fancy restaurants, usually "plate up" meals with few selections and indifferent preparation. Not so at Lake Chalet. I think I may have had the Best Salmon Ever last week, and everything there looks and tastes wonderful. Wait staff is very professional and prompt. Lake Chalet is always packed, even on a chilly weeknight. The regular and drink menus offer a huge variety. Will definitely go there some time for a special occasion.

Reviewed By Mahoo95

In the greater Oakland area and surrounding suburbs/communities, this is the place to go for dim sum. The staff is friendly and helpful if you have questions. The har gow and sui mai are everything you would expect...very good flavor. The deep fried taro dumplings are also a favorite and very good. Baked BBQ pork buns are OK. I have had better in the China Towns on both sides of the Bay. Egg tarts are much better in the local bakeries. Shrimp-chive dumplings; black sesame mochi; and shrimp rice noodles are good. The seafood bean curd was just OK.We have visited this place many times over the past decades; but only when we visit family in the area. We have eaten many of the dim sum offerings over the years.This place has a small parking lot behind the restaurant; but street parking is available. We visited mid-week before the main lunch hour and luckily found street parking at the front door. Mid-week, sadly we missed the "carts" where you can get your dim sum choices as the carts 'float' by. We ordered from a menu and the dim sum was delivered via cart. In reality, there was one cart that roamed among the diners; but the selections were extremely limited though they did periodically change what was on the cart. Advantages of mid-week visit are less competition for parking and less ambient noise in the restaurant because there are fewer diners. However, by the time we were finished, many customers had entered for "lunch". It was plenty noisy then. By the way, forks are available should you desire.I expect we will continue to visit this restaurant in the coming years.

Kincaid’s Fisk, Chop & Steak House is a comfortable and relaxing establishment with excellent food. The dishes are all very generous portions. They offer Reservations, Parking is Available, Valet Parking is offered, the restaurant is Wheelchair Accessible, and There is a Full Bar. The service is warm and friendly not to mention very efficient. You will find any of the items on the menu a good choice. I personably highly recommend the Lobster Bisque. The location on the water adds a nice touch to the meal. You will like everything.

Reviewed By Poppavino

Server was great as was the view and the extensive beer on tap menu. Cioppino was not good. Scallops, mussels and clams were good. Shrimp were tough and likely from cooking all day. Calamari was so tough it was inedible. Broth was ok but lacking any real zing. Tons of seafood, though, and I could not finish even though I skipped some per above. Expensive. Won’t be back.
