Vanilla Custard Pear Tart. They say it's vegan but I think they are lying cause nothing vegan that this awesome.
Richard B.

Been back now a couple of times. Just recently back to back. Drinks and dessert one night then dinner the next. The burger is amazing and I'm a meat eater. I could eat that everyday. We shared the Vanilla Custard Pear Tart one night and the sundae with house made amaretto ice cream the next. Next time we are not sharing!!!! Drinks are solid because at a vegan restaurant we are all about health. The other night we brought a very nice 2018 Cab from the home cellar but their wine list is totally adequate but I think our celler houses some awesome ones. Upping to 5 stars and would do more if I could.

This place is amazing, and I'm so sad they're closing within the next month! Everything about this dining experience is top notch. Warm, lively vibe. Great service. Absolutely delicious and creative menu. Fantastic cocktails. Looking forward to what they announce regarding their next business venture.

Always creative & tasty seasonal dishes, my go to for birthday celebrations !! The servers are very knowledgeable & informative - good suggestions for dish choices!! We sat out in the covered "backyard" very nice ambiance & service, nice weather, special for my 73rd bday !!

The appetizer: hummus and olives plate with the soup

My boyfriend and I came here on a random Thursday and it was so good. We actually went back the following week! He loved their pasta and I got the four course meal so we could try other plates. Service was impeccable with very attentive staff both times! It seemed like a really cute Thur date night place to go. They have a number of different cocktails and specialty seasonal drinks. I got something with passionfruit in it, and the following week that drink changed from passionfruit into pineapple, but it was still delicious! I really like the dark rustic modern style in the restaurant and the food was all vegetarian with some vegan and gluten-free options as well. Since I have food allergies to monosodium glutamate/MSG, it's hard for me to eat at certain restaurants, but I know I can basically eat everything here minus things with soy sauce. Lol. We will definitely be back again and again! Especially since our menu changes seasonally!

I am SO happy Millennium has reopened after a temporary shutdown, and that they are still in their College Ave. location. We were hanging out in the area and decided to pop in on a whim and try our luck at getting a spot at the bar for an early dinner. I was pretty sure they would not have availability, but my partner insisted we try. I was happily proven wrong when we were greeted by the host and welcomed to sit anywhere at the bar. Yay! We grabbed a couple of seats and settled in. Our bartender and server was lovely, friendly and hospitable throughout our visit. The bar was serving an a la carte menu. We started with the marinated nectarine salad. Delicious and full of flavor. The feta cheese was so yummy, my partner had a hard time believing it was vegan. Next we shared the Millennium Burger. OMG. Even better than I remembered from last time. Decadent and so satisfying. I loved the cashew carrot 'cheddar', and definitely want to learn to make it at home. I could put this on everything. The ambiance was warm and relaxing, upscale but casual at the same time. Also, in a time where the cost of everything has skyrocketed, huge kudos to Millennium for keeping their prices reasonable, which I know is not easy given the costs of running a restaurant, especially in this area. We left full and happy, and I already can't wait for our next visit, which will be soon!

Came here to say that Millenium is one of the rare restaurants where a vegetarian/vegan can enjoy a proper 4-5 course meal and that by itself is so special. The service, ambiance and the food itself are all 5 stars. We loved our drinks and food, the carnivore at our table enjoyed the meal just as much as the vegetarians.

Dovetail and strawberry Negroni
J. Beatrice L.

Easily one of the top ten meals I've had in 2026. Plenty of neighborhood parking on a Saturday early evening. The restaurant itself is beautiful but unpretentious. Staff was phenomenal and super welcoming with great suggestions. We ordered the prix fixe meal which included a soup, amuse bouche, starter, main and dessert. It was almost too much food but we happily took leftovers home. The Vidalia onion bisque was super flavorful and gazpacho with strawberries was unexpected and delicious. Grilled housemade focaccia w/carrot fennel butter & za'atar (we wished there was an entire plate of the carrot fennel butter to spread on that light-as-air focaccia. The masa sopes were reminiscent of a tamale (albeit a slightly drier texture) with smoked sweet potato, tomatillo & jicama salsa fresca, and black bean & huitlacoche puree. The sweet potatoes were fire (I'm not usually a fan) and I've always wanted to try huitlacoche and it did not disappoint. We also sampled the popular "calamari" (oyster mushrooms), Millennium burger (black lentil, pecan, sunflower patty), as well as the Cascatelli pasta w/almond ricotta. All were mouth wateringly good. We ended the dinner with the lemon cheesecake (very good) and tropical sago with sorbet (the texture wasn't for me since I'm not much of a pudding fan) but the flavor was excellent. The beverages were also done very well, so much so that we renamed their Sad Boy Summer cocktail Bad Boy Summr ;) The dinner was 5 stars down to the damn coffee finale. Hats off to a very inventive menu.

Perfect upscale vegan restaurant - brought my brother here for his birthday! We booked a reservation- sat on the high bar chairs (slightly uncomfy). I recommend calling to book a table if you plan on being there a long time. Food was yummy - brother and gf liked as non-vegans. Very flavorful and creative! Service was phenomenal, despite a busy crowd on a Sat night. LOVED the strawberry cheesecake - it wasn't too sweet, just rightly tart, and the crumbles were (need moreeee).

Maple Glazed Tetsukabuto Squash & Lacinto Kale Salad
Lisa K.

Once again, another 5-star night! Of course, I've been back a number of times since my previous review but thought it was time to add an update. We attended the Annual Pumpkin Dinner and although costumes were optional, that's not an option for me! Costumes made the night extra-fun! When I was setting up reservations the patio was full so I thought that I would choose sitting at the bar for something different. It was fun to sit there, watch drinks getting made, and seeing everyone else enjoying their meals. Service continues to be impeccable. Instead of ordering my usual Brut, I opted to get the Purity Wine pairing. Now I need to find out how to get a bottle of that Zin! So many highlights with the courses. The spiced pumpkin & walnut spread, the seared pumpkin mochi, the entire salad (I would love to have the creamy pumpkin ranch dressing on my favorite Little Gems salad), pumpkin gravy, and the pumpkin masa picadita. The desserts were also a hit. The Candied Kabocha Creme Brulé was served in one half of a squash. Great presentation. I love making vegan conchas for a breakfast pastry, but after last night's Maple Pumpkin Conchas with candied pumpkin ice cream I plan to turn them into a dessert this holiday season! Millennium continues to impress with their inventive and flavorful always vegan menu and their knowledgeable and friendly staff!

- southeast Asian curry tofu  - veggie southwest burger - tempeh with chimichurri sauce - refried bean sopes
Edward C.

Service was pretty great, very fast and they checked in and refilled water. We had accidentally left a credit card there and they called within 10 minutes so they clear the tables pretty fast but wait for you to leave first. Ambiance was nice and intimate, but not too loud. This would be a good date spot for vegetarian food. Food was okay, might have been slightly overpriced for the flavors. I think the shaved asparagus salad and the tempeh were very well done, the fried mushrooms and the curry were a bit too sweet for my tastes. The millennium burger was a typical vegetarian burger, the "patty" was more beany than other black bean burgers I've tasted and less meaty if that makes sense? But overall I would come again if someone wanted to come, wouldn't go out of my way though.

Uttapam
Shweta S.

Millennium was on my list since a very long time and finally got a chance to visit. Right from their service, food, ambiance- everything was perfect! Audrey, who was our server was friendly, gave us great recommendations for drinks and food. We got their zero proof drinks - one of the best ones- very refreshing, not too sweet. Butternut squash uttapam, sweet potato golden split pea kofta were delicious. We ended the dinner with sesame cardamom cake which was absolutely outstanding. Portion size was good for 2 people. And for presentation Highly recommend it.

Food from the Prix Fixe menu
Sara F.

The best high end vegan place I have ever been to. Had such a wonderful experience. The staff were so kind and amazing, the ambiance was perfect, and the food was delicious. Also the prices were very reasonable. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

Little Gem Salad (GF)
Amanda S.

I came on a Monday for Oakland restaurant week, so while this might not be the typical experience, I thoroughly enjoyed and I'm so glad they participated restaurant week because now I want to come back! Minimally and beautifully decorated, this fine dining restaurant had indoor and outdoor seating, both of which compliment the elegant yet somewhat Bay Area casual vibe. On occasional Mondays, they open for Above Ground which has some of the best pizza (vegan and not) I have ever had. Absolutely phenomenal, I didn't think I could finish a whole one but I couldn't resist ha. The chocolate mousse with the banana cream was also amazing! The staff were all friendly and attentive. I appreciate them not being too stuffy like some fine dining places. I can't wait to come back and try their regular menu!

The ambiance will get you first, the attention to detail say's a lot about the love put into La Loulou. The service is fabulous, they will remember your last drink.

I visited La Loulou several months ago and wanted to give it some time before writing a review…read more After recently having a wonderful experience at another wine bar, I realized the difference in hospitality was too significant not to mention. I really wanted to like this place. I'd walked by several times and loved the interior design, and the videos on Instagram made it seem like such a great spot. I stopped in one evening by myself, ordered a glass of wine and the warm olives (which were delicious), and was looking forward to a relaxing night. Unfortunately, the service was the biggest disappointment. The restaurant was packed, and the atmosphere felt more concerned with maintaining an image than making guests feel welcome. I understand some restaurants embrace a more reserved European style of service, but this came across as cold and pretentious rather than intentional hospitality. As a solo diner especially, I didn't feel acknowledged or valued as a guest. It also didn't help that the dining room had a noticeable body odor smell that took away from the experience. On a positive note, the bathroom was clean and beautifully designed. I originally thought this would become my go-to place to grab a glass of wine while waiting for a table at the ramen spot next door, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Reading through other reviews, it seems I'm not the only one who had this impression. Oakland's charm has always been its people. You can open a French-inspired wine bar, but hospitality translates into every language. If you're going to bring a Parisian aesthetic to Oakland, don't mistake indifference for sophistication. Guests should leave feeling welcomed, not judged.

When I go into a cafe, dishes usually include sandwiches, baked sweets, pancakes or waffles. But there are times when I look at the menu and I'm trying to wake up, so I want a simpler menu. Here, they have the toast with butter. Yes, this is the perfect dish for the moment that I tend to have when choosing the first meal of the day. I also love their other menu, which is the toast with a canned fish. The cafe also sells these alongside coffee beans. The toast is sliced thick with a generous smear of butter. The toast surface has a golden shine from the melted butter. Every bite has a juicy butter taste. On the side of toast is a side of a beautiful semi-boiled egg with a runny yolk -- my favorite type of way to eat yolks. Next time, when I visit here, I will definitely try the canned fish and eat that for breakfast. That is another good breakfast menu I would love to have and try with a cup of coffee.

The good: Their vanilla latte is genuinely good. Flavorful, balanced, and not overly sweet. The food is decent too. The bad: Why is a vanilla latte pushing $7 these days and still arriving nowhere near the top of the cup? When I asked about it, I was told it's just one ice cube short of the normal volume. But consistently? Maybe that's what they mean by Ain't Normal. My bigger issue is the service. Maybe I've caught them on off days, but the staff has consistently come off with a bit of attitude. Nobody needs a parade when they order coffee, but a little warmth goes a long way, especially when you're charging specialty coffee prices. At the end of the day, the coffee is good enough that I've come back more than once. I just wish the cups were fuller and the customer service matched the quality of the drinks.

Then the gem salad came out and it was so sad looking I almost chortled when she placed it on the table. The broccolini pasta was super bitter -- way more bitter than it should be. Also for some reason the olive oil tastes rancid. They did offer free bread that I saw them cutting from what looked like a baguette bought from Safeway. We also got the pasta ragu. The pasta itself was aldente but the sauce did not have much depth of flavor. Really seemed like something I could make at home. Decor was bare. Lots of seating though. I would recommend this place if you're wanting a cozy quiet dining experience.

It is a wine bar after all so maybe the slow service is intentional so make sure to go with peeps who you enjoy spending time with. With national buzz and a Michelin Bib Gourmand, Snail Bar is known for natural wine and creative, chef-y small plates. Its Saison alum founder has since moved to France, with an Atelier Crenn and Verjus alum now leading the kitchen. I don't drink wine, so it wasn't on my radar until SF Chron raved about their steak frites. We happened to be at 51 & Tel for HH less than two blocks away, spotted a last-minute rezzy and figured - why not? If you want to sit inside, rezzies are a must. The outdoor seating is more readily available. M E N U Globally influenced Californian cuisine with a hyper-seasonal menu that changes weekly. Mainstays are the crudités, snails, and ham & cheese sandwich. Beer, natural wine, sake, and non-alkie drinks available. 20% service charge added to bill which counts as gratuity. D R I N KS * Den "Blanc Nama #12" Sake (Glass - $14) * Berry Kombucha ($9) F O O D * Creole Pork Cracklins ($7) Light and crunchy, these lowkey remind me of chicharrón de harina, cracker-like chicharrónes that aren't pork skin. Fine to snack on but in hindsight, we should've ordered the Acme sesame levain instead. * A La Isla Tuna Tostadas w/ brokaw avocado, pineapple, charred salsa (2 pc-$30) IHMO, very steep pricing for the size. The tuna was fresh and sat over a thin layer of mashed avocado but the tostada seemed like it had been sitting for a bit and had lost that peak crispness. The charred salsa surprisingly didn't have the flavor and punch as I expected. * Ham & Cheese Sandwich ($17) My fav part of our meal, simple but done incredibly well - King's Hawaiian sweet bread is spread with dijon mustard and kewpie mayo, layered with comté + gruyère. Sweet, salty, and savory with nutty molten cheese oozing from the crunchy bread. The pickled peppers add the perfect acidity to cut through all that richness. * Snail Bar Steak Frites ($38) - Default: Rare Beautifully rosy red, the two slices of steak is lean and tender with a nice beefy flavor. While a bit too aggressively salted for me, I enjoyed the lingering black pepper kick. The hand-cut frites were incredibly crunchy with a fluffy soft interior. They remind me of Trick Dog's addictive thrice-cooked fries. BUT, Snail Bar only gives you seven small fries. Shrinkflation is working OT here! * Snails w/ cashew miso, gooseberry ($24, taken off bill) Sadly, we never got to try it. After two follow-ups and an hour wait, the snails never arrived so I cancelled it. Bummer. S E R V I C E Friendly and warm staff but painfully slow service, the pacing of the courses seemed to have dragged on longer than we expected... def not ideal if you're hangry. A M B I A N C E Intimate and cozy hipster bar vibes with moody lighting, retro checkerboard floors, and open kitchen. On the night we visited, they had a good house-centric playlist giving it a buzzy energy. Overall, I can see why Snail Bar is popular with wine enthusiasts seeking a cool space to romance the bottle and nosh on chef-driven small plates. I probably would've enjoyed the experience more if the food arrived at a better pace and the prices weren't so break-yo-wallet steep for such a casual setting.
