It is family friendly with a kids fun zone area located in a blocked off parking lot with a climbing wall, bounce house and games. The SL police make their presence known so other than a few "drunk in publics" not much happens, it is pretty safe. They have a booth set-up and also walk through the crowd. No outside alcohol and no furry dogs allowed. Bring cash and your ID if you want an adult beverage.

I stopped by a strawberry vendor, and honestly, they were the best strawberries we've ever had--so fresh, perfectly ripe, and nothing like the ones from the supermarket. We also picked up some kefir yogurt nearby that totally exceeded our expectations. It was a bit more expensive than usual, but definitely worth the price.

This is a review for the location in the Apple Hill area. It was through my initial search for a…read morecider brewery that I found Hidden Star. I saw they had a location in Camino, CA and took the day trip with the family. Unfortunately, when I first did my research, I didn't know I was about 3 weeks pregnant. When I found out, I realized I would not be able to try the beers. But worry not! There was a lovely lavender strawberry drink which was absolutely fantastic! They had hot apple cider and pressed cider for sale as well. The apple cider donuts were phenomenal and I dream of them often. The owners were present and met us know they had had an extra busy day with a marathon that had taken place earlier. Nevertheless, the tiredness did not affect the quality of their service. They were kind, gracious, and gave us useful information for a future trip. Although it was a bit of a drive, we'd be happy to return! The ambiance was welcoming for families with plenty of space for the littles to explore. It can be difficult to find spaces that are spacious and comfortable for children to enjoy. I appreciated the selection of baked goods, beverages, dried fruits, sauces, and merch. Can't wait to go back in the summer and fall with our new little baby.

If your expecting a good show where there's exotic animals that are trained to do tricks then this…read moreplace is not for you. All your gonna get is a bunch of half naked girls, horrible seating, and nasty food. Payed 70 bucks for good seats and got nothing but regular crappy seats all the way in the back. Do not go here! The few animals they showed were locked up in glass cases and looked frustrated as can be. Back in my days they had professional people who trained the animals to do stuff, not keep them in a glass case where they can barely move around. I know a lot of people are going to dislike my rating and argue otherwise but it's my opinion so take it or leave it. It's your choice if you want to waste money on this joint. The only reason they even deserve one star is thanks to the boys who actually did cool tricks doing back flips on these swings, now that was a real show! Not those half naked girls.

I absolutely adore this little company that has a couple locations in Berkeley as well as seeing…read morethem at the farmers market I believe. Hands-down, my favorite freshly made pastas and raviolis! They also make fresh sauces of all different varieties, which are very well made and delicious! The location at Strawberry Creek Park also does biscotti, half bake pizza, bread, I think that's their main hub so they have a bigger kitchen and do all kinds of deliciousness. The last time we went to the little location off Monterey close to the Monterey Fish market in Berkeley, or maybe it's Albany... Either way I chose the butternut squash raviolis, and they were freaking delicious!!!

This is a long overdue post as last I've been was in October…read more The Montclair Village Farmer's Market is a vibrant spot full of fresh produce, delicious food, and local vendors. Supporting local farmers is such a meaningful way to give back to the community while enjoying fresh, seasonal produce. It's a great feeling to know that every purchase helps sustain small businesses and keeps the market thriving! Among the many great stalls, Kashiwase Farms stands out as a must-visit. They consistently offer some of the best stone fruits I've ever had, juicy peaches, nectarines, and plums that are perfectly ripe and bursting with flavor. Shore Catch has super fresh oysters that taste amazing. They're salty, sweet, and really fresh, like they just came out of the ocean. It can be hectic at times walking around as there is large crowds at 11:00am, however, it definitely feels like a great way to spend a Sunday!

I had this review in drafts for a little more over a month, and it's high time I give this the praise it deserves. The market itself is rather quaint. It's in the back of the library there, and it's a fun little joint. There's a-lot of fresh produce to be had and a plethora of foods from different backgrounds to try. Granted, the produce is a bit pricey, but the quality is definitely a guarantee. Food wise? They got pastries, and various dishes of many cultures. I can't say for sure which are recurring but honestly I have no complaints. Not much I can say there but it's decent. Overall? Not a bad market! Give it a visit sometime!

The Spinach and Artichoke Garlic Spread is a personal favorite. So many uses! Dipping pretzels or pita chips (which they offer an amazing version of) in this stuff is a sinful indulgence. It is also insanely good on sandwiches and wraps. The Red Pepper Hummus is very popular in my household! I really like the classic hummus with pita chips, celery & cucumber as dippers. Recently I needed some of this great stuff for a gathering that I hadn't planned for. This created a unique opportunity to meet one of the founders/owners. He couldn't have been a kinder, humble nor accommodating individual! I learned a bit about his business and their commitment to quality and the integrity of the product. Buy this product ... there is so much more behind it than meets the eye!

We've gotten Hummus and garlic sauce (toum) from Hummus Heaven at a local farmer's market and after…read morethe guy had us try some samples we got hooked and will buy some whenever we see them out now lol The toum is one of the best I've ever had. It's fluffy and flavorful. Goes great with their pita chips or any store bought ones. I put it on a grilled cheese, and it was delightful. While the regular garlic sauce is good, the one with habanero is my absolute favorite. It's not super spicy, but enough of a kick to know it's there. We've gotten their hummus as well, and again the consistency of the hummus, light, airy, fluffy, you just know it's made fresh. I'm not the biggest hummus fan, but the amount of flavors they offer, it's hard to not find one you'd like. If you see Hummus Heaven out n about at your local farmers market, definitely worth a stop to try out some samples and if you are like me, you'll end up with a couple things in your fridge every week lol

Date: 3/1/2026 Time: 6:15 PM 62° Cool…read more It's Sunday late afternoon. I receive a FB message from my male companion. Date night! Where do I want to go for dinner? It's a spur of a moment thing. There are two restaurants I want to have dinner - Y's Choice or Sweet Fingers. First stop: Y's Choice, which is in Uptown Oakland, the hood I grew up in the 50's (my old stomping ground). They are packed with beaucoup diners. Since we have no reservation, we decide to go out to ESO, destination Sweet Fingers, a restaurant serving Jamaican food. First time at Sweet Fingers and I need time to peruse the menu before deciding what entree seems to appeal to me. I have a choice of a small plate or large plate meal. Oxtail stew is something that I have not eaten in a long, long, long time, as in over 60 years ago. The oxtail stew that I had in the past was prepared with a tomato based sauce and contained carrots, potatoes and celery. However, the Jamaican style oxtail stew is totally different. Tender oxtail infused with seasonings and brown sauce. The sides were rice, vegetables and plantain. Although the rice is on the dry side, the entree is quite delicious. The small plate meal is the perfect amount of food for me. There is no "people" bag to take home with me. LOL. My male companion is surprised that I have eaten all my food. Most of the time when he and I are out on a dinner date, I have leftovers to take home. I usually order an Arnold Palmer as a beverage at any restaurants I have never been to or eaten there. Perusing the cocktail menu I decide to have a piña colada. ("If you like piña colada, and get caught in the rain...", refreshing no matter the season or weather.) My male companion orders the salmon entree and a salad. He does not eat plantain and he agrees the rice is dry. I can only surmise that he quietly enjoyed his dinner. The salad did not have enough salad dressing. I believe the waitress would have accommodated us if we have asked for more salad dressing. Overall I am pleased with my oxtail stew and cocktail. A return visit in the future to try other entrees on the menu is on the horizon. I would not mind having the jerk tofu. Hopefully my date would be willing to do a return visit.

I also ordered the 10 shrimp meal and so I would've originally sat inside but I got my order to go because I had to drop off a friend. Once I got home I realized my order only had 5 shrimps in it. The Jerk chicken only had one leg in it. It wasn't much food for the amount I paid. I will say the seamoss drink was delicious. The downside was that there were items my friend wanted to order but we were told that they didn't have those items since they were moving locations. It's a beautiful restaurant but I do wish they had different spice levels listed and gave you enough meat for the price you're paying. As well the cups needed to be clean more properly as shown in the pictures I included.
