There's plentiful inside seating and a comfortable shaded outdoor patio. There is a full bar that some folks were sitting at. We opted for the outside patio since we had our kids with us and they can be loud. Our server was kind and accommodating. She checked in often, but not in an invasive way. Everything here is farm to table, and tasted fresh. The oysters were delicious and so were the mussels which came with a delightful coconut broth and grilled bread. The kids enjoyed a fried chicken slider with fries. My favorite was the beet salad with goat cheese. It was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. This is definitely a spot to try with or without your kiddos. I would come back for dinner with the hubby.

We dined outside in the back and we were comfortable temperature wise and were able to talk at a normal volume. We ordered the seafood paella, linguine with clams, rack of lamb, and steak. I appreciated that they were able to leave the chorizo off the paella. The paella was delicious BUT (and this is a HUGE BUT) the portions were TINY. Initially I was pleasantly surprised to see a $19 paella on the menu as it's usually more than that. We often share food but didn't as the portion was barely enough for one person. Though I didn't order drinks, my friends got the kiwi margarita and the Starfall. I tried a sip of both and the consensus was that the Starfall was better. While our server himself was friendly, the actual service left something to be desired. My paella came out before the other 3 dishes. Also, it took a while for us to get the check. While I would love to try other items on the menu, I don't plan to return because of the small portion sizes.

When looking for a restaurant to celebrate graduation, I had the following criteria in mind: (1)…read moreincredible food; (2) fancy yet relaxed ambiance; (3) located in the East Bay. As a huge fan of French cuisine, I'd been following RÊVE for years and decided to book a table for the graduation dinner. I made a reservation about three months in advance just to be safe, since the restaurant only has about eight indoor tables. The restaurant was tucked away in a nondescript strip mall, but upon entering through the side gate, I felt like I was stepping into a Parisian neighborhood bistro. Our friendly waitress walked us through the menu and seasonal specials and even pointed out the can't-miss dishes. Thank goodness we followed her advice - the frites were among the best I've ever tasted! We debated ordering another cone of frites but decided to pace ourselves because we also ordered the gougères, RÊVE salad, and escargot to share. Additionally, we received complimentary fresh baguette and butter. For my main dish, I decided to try the quenelle, which can be described as a soft dumpling made from seafood purée that resembles a velvety soufflé. Every bite had a rich seafood flavor that, even now, I can't stop thinking about. Even though we were quite full after dinner, we were tempted by the dessert menu and decided to split the chocolate mousse and French opera cake. Both desserts were exquisite - they were small portions but packed a lot of richness without being overly sweet. Our dinner was made extra special by the restaurant staff, who remembered that we were celebrating a graduation and signed a card for us. From the team going above and beyond to the excellent meal, this was one of the best meals I've had this year. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
