This was my first time attending brunch in Mimosa on grand. My sister and I were attending black Joy and decided to start off the day with the Great meal. We had made reservations as they are recommended. I love the vibe and aesthetic of the restaurant. The artwork is fantastic and the music was on point. We chose the brunch option for our breakfast choice. You also had the option of purchasing entrees outside of what was on the menu. I really enjoyed the variety of the brunch and they catered to dietary needs as well. I really enjoyed the chicken sausage with eggs and vegan vegetable and potatoes. The potatoes were very unique and had a great flavor because they use truffle oil. This is one of the very first brunch places I have came to where every item on the menu had a unique taste and it was excellently prepared. The Cajun shrimp topped my garlic grits and reminded me of being back in New orleans. The breakfast also included French toast and your option of a banana pudding muffin with caramel sauce. Everything was incredibly curated and The Taste were defined. Brunch couldn't be complete without a morning mimosa. My sister and I enjoyed a Paloma which was strong but still refreshing and sweet. Overall I definitely would be back to enjoy on the menu. read more

This place is always a good time. They have really good brunch grits with shrimp and grits and has crawfish in it. Also, I took my Granny and she had a good time. We had a mimosa and My Cousin. The vibe is great there. You can listen to music to have a DJ playing so if you're in town, you should go check out this place and they have à la carte also so you don't have to get the brunch read more

Chicken wings are so salty and barely edible the lemon pepper. Bald bouncer is always unfriendly, he's been in the bouncer/doorman business for YEARS so probably fed up, who knows. The ambiance is fine, nothing special. The music is ridiculously LOUD, absolutely no reason to be that annoyingly loud. read more

It was my first time going here tonight and I had an amazing time and the music was bumping. The food was good and the bartender was so fine, shout out to Melissa read more

I know this place as M2. It has a very nice cultured atmosphere and offers a variety of social events including trap karaoke, brunch, and food events. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Above the bar, they play the most current popular sporting events such as basketball and football games. The staff are friendly, hardworking, approachable and cater to the needs of each guest for reasonable requests. The place was very clean. There is a very energetic DJ playing a mix of the best of what music has to offer which includes hip hop and r&b. He knows how to keep the crowd singing and moving. The food was crazy good and they even offer vegan options. Best brunch hands down and not only because the food was so good but because they do it "closed buffet" style. For a flat fee you can go to the buffet and be served the menu options (it's not self serve which prevents the spread of germs). The drink menu was great and we tried several of the drinks. All of them were good. I have zero complaints. This place puts other brunch places to shave and even stays open a little later than lots of typical brunch places that close or stop serving at 3pm. They stop serving at 5pm. I was more than pleased and so was the bday boy. read more

The bar was too slow for just champagne pours on a busy Saturday . There was only one bartender and 1-2 bar backs. The music was too loud to hold conversations inside and I was getting a headache. I want good music, but I want to hear my conversation next to my friends. No complaints with the food, it was good! Fresh and hot. I'm not sure I would come back because of the long waits and loud music. We didn't sit outside, but I probably would considering the inside noise. read more

Great food and amazing service highly recommend trying this at Least once. I preferred indoor seating but they offer outdoor as well.

Let me first start by saying that I had a very good time celebrating my Birthday at M2. We came in there this evening, which is a Thursday night so we could enjoy the five dollar menu. We ordered several different items throughout the night. We drank several drinks a piece. Shots and all. The food came out very fast. Very thankful for that. I didn't like the fact that it was so busy and you had to wait on the bartenders for several minutes to place an order for drinks or food. The music was great. I didn't like that karaoke wasn't until 9 PM. I got there at 5 PM in hopes of doing karaoke, not knowing that it started so late. Unfortunately, we did not stay until 9 o'clock because one of the ladies in my party decided to go to the sushi place and bring her food into the establishment. Later she approached by the owner while she was outside smoking a cigarette regarding said situation. When she came back inside to the group, she was in full-blown tears and crying uncontrollably. Such a vibe kill! Anyway, We decided to leave immediately following the encounter. I personally apologized to the owner for the mishap, even though I did not eat a single crumb of the food (edamame). Truth be told I made sure the edamame was cleaned up and off the table. I even cleared the empty cups, champagne glasses and other trash from the table because no one came around to do so. Would I go back? For sure. Would I recommend? Yes. Advice: arrive early to get a good seat, Order the Brussel sprouts. Most importantly leave your outside food outside. read more

Hello so this weekend I went to this lounge in Oakland by lake Merritt. When walking in its a nice atmosphere. They serve food until 10pm and also have a cocktail special menu which is served until 11:30pm which I thought was very smart. We had a VIP table but I went to the bar to place my order. I did ask the bar tender what food does she recommend so that was a nice encounter. I order a Hennessy side car which was a 10 out of 10. I ordered some truffle fries along with some prawns with butter garlic sauce. Let's just say it was money well spent. I finally took at a look at the cocktail menu and saw a blackberry sidecar and thought that too was delicious so I had 2 of those. Overall it was a good night great music and a good atmosphere. I would recommend this place and I will be back. read more

-0/10 experience, The bald bouncer in the front refused to let us into a family members birthday brunch for not having ID (persons well over 40 btw) but we watched him let underage people in without hesitation. Very unprofessional and killed our vibe immensely. Won't be returning. read more

This seems like a really happening place. Very lively ambiance. Did not order the food, so I don't know what it tastes like. There was some party or something going on while I was there. Service seemed to be pretty good but again we only ordered 1 drink. Plenty of seating all around. Worth going back to for another visit. read more

Mimosa On Grand - a bar with red lighting - Champagne Bars Near Me - Oakland, California

I went for Sunday Brunch a little after 12 noon. We were treated by a nice young lady and seated right away as it wasn't too crowded. We sat at a high table, but were comfortable. There was a variety of foods to choose from. I had bacon, potatoes, grits, and french toast. I had a Miami Vice that I ordered from the bar and it was GOOD. They don't take cash, but I carry very little cash anyway. A couple of staff came by to take our plates (ready for round two) and asked if everything was ok. Seems like a family type of vibe. Everyone was pleasant. There's a parking lot a couple of doors down. I can't explain exactly where it is, but when you exit you're on the side of the Grand Lake Theater. Overall, I enjoyed everything. read more

Mimosa On Grand - Brunch Buffet...French Toast, Bacon, Potatoes, and Grits (forgot to take a picture before I started eating). - Champagne Bars Near Me - Oakland, California

I had the pleasure of stopping in for brunch with friends on Sunday. Thankful for places that take reservations... and I Love the vibe of this place starting with the sweetest hostess. All of the staff are super friendly. Love the cocktail selections (probably loved the Miami Vice Mimosas more than I should have ). The buffet has a nice variety. I went for the beef links, chicken sausage, potatoes with brussell sprouts, biscuit, grits, and an amazing gravy. EVERYTHING was delicious and I couldn't get enough of the grits and gravy. While the music was on point during my 4 hour visit, at times it was too loud and our party of 7 found ourselves shouting during our conversations. I love this establishment and look forward to stopping in again to try the ala carte menu with the waffle and fried lobster!! read more

I don't recommend, it has turned extremely ghetto. Security and staff need training on customer service.

I joined my family there, the service was friendly. The ambiance is what you would expect in a bar environment and the food was okay.

Went with coworkers on a Thursday night which happened to be karaoke night. The vibe was great and the dj had everyone moving. Ordering was a bit confusing but we figured out we get food and drinks at the bar. Ordering was difficult because most people were seated at the bar so getting access to a bartender was hit or miss. Once we ordered, i was surprised to get my drink in a tiny plastic cup while my coworker got hers in a glass but i guess it's all the same when you drink it. The food took more than 45 minutes to come out and was very cold. Not pictured was also an order of greens and pork chops. My coworker said the pork chops were the best thing we ordered so take that as you may. I would probably go back but for drinks and ambience more than anything. read more

Best bar/lounge in Oakland! The staff is great, the food is great and so is the space. The manager, Jeff runs the place and is the type of manager that works WITH his team! The best part is that they do not shun the homeless! They have no problem treating them like people! They make sure they have a bite to eat and even offer them a seat! True definition of an Oakland business!!! Other places should take notes! read more

Food was amazing. We went for the Sunday brunch and OMG everything was hot & flavorful. Great customer service.I appreciate that we pay when we come in for our food and then we can just eat and relax and not have to worry about a bill at the end, however you do need to purchase your drinks at the bar. Which are slightly Higher, but they make good drinks. I will return also the happy hour on Tuesdays don't miss it. read more

This place is great for a date night or just getting together for a night out with the ladies or fellas. Parking can be a lil hard to find close to the location but still not in a bad area. They have music drinks and good food. On Thursdays they have a $5 menu everything is $5 and everything was good at that price i had to order 1 of everything. Yo won't be disappointed with the drinks as well service is pretty fast and the dj keeps the music going they also have TV for the games. read more

Mimosa On Grand - Lamb chops - Champagne Bars Near Me - Oakland, California

Came on a good day: Thurs brunch at night special -everything was $5!! (But of course be aware the portion is small, def worth it if you want to try multiple dishes) We ordered: Lemon pepper, red hot, and chimichurri wings: my favorite were the chimichurri wings! Soo flavorful. The chimichurri sauce gave it a nice freshness. Salmon croquette: Had a lot of salmon which was surprising because usually croquettes have more filling than protein so you def get your moneys worth. Fried brussel sprouts w/ truffle oil and Parmesan: THIS WAS MY FAVORITE DISH OF THE NIGHT. I might be lightweight biased bc I love brussel sprouts and will always order it but it was perfectly cooked and seasoned! Crispy because it was fried but still had that nice fresh bite I enjoy with brussel sprouts. Not oily or mushy at all! The truffle taste wasn't overbearing. I loved the surprise of the Parmesan flavor in the end. I was thinking it'd be too salty but it was a perfect balance of all the ingredients!! Grilled jerk lamb chops: the meat was super moist and tender, didn't have the gamey flavor I'm accustomed to when eating lamb. The chefs for sure know how to season and cook their dishes! Not salty whatsoever!!! Collared greens w/ smoked turkey: again great flavor, could taste the smoked turkey, and the greens weren't overcooked. Mac n cheese: never been a fan of Mac n cheese, they all taste the same to me. But it was good! Nothing negative to say about it. lol. read more

I went for the 1st time on Sunday. They open at noon according to their posted hours. They were not open at noon more like 12:10. When you walk in, you have to show your id, really, why? Then you are given a menu to decide if you're going to do the brunch or order from the menu. You pay 1st and then you can go to the buffet. Of course the food was not ready. It wasn't until 12:30pm that the buffet was open. There is no service to speak of. You order your drinks at the bar. The brunch does not include mimosas with it. They clear your paper plates from your table. The music is extremely loud and makes conversation difficult. They play it so loud because they say people want to dance and enjoy themselves. It appears that they want to cater to a younger crowd. I will not return to this black owned establishment. Not opening on time, not having the food ready on time, playing the music too loud, the seating is uncomfortable and the food is so so makes it not the place for me. I remember the 1st version of this restaurant. Lessons were not learned. I wish them the best in catering to the younger crowd. read more

Food: delicious and well seasoned. Buffet style and all-you-eat Service: service was excellent. Bartender warm and friendly and good drinks. Waitress was as attentive as she could be, being that she also was the hostess. Ambiance: the wall seating could definitely use a facelift and removal of some of the old hardware left from the previous two business leftover needs to be removed. Dive bar look!! If you like that! read more

Listen...the bartenders are always attentive and the food is big back worthy. Let me help you with your order the lemon pepper wings are delicious and so is the crab mac and cheese. I ordered the bread pudding with the caramel and bourbon and I will never be right again. If you are in the neighborhood stop by. Now I want to try thr brunch I think the fried lobster is calling my name. read more

I stumbled into this place on a Thursday night and ordered the five dollar bites off the menu where you can order different variety of items for five dollars. It was a great way to try bites, especially because I love ordering appetizers as my main. On Thursday there's karaoke I would say the crowd changes on a Thursday night from fun having crowds to a little bit of a different crowd so depends on the crowd you're looking. go in for the food on Thursday. I heard there's a brunch on Sunday. I go early maybe watch some karaoke and then I leave. I would recommend going because the food is great. Try to jerk lamb chops. read more

Have been to this establishment many times and hope to see some changes or improvements. Food: I have no complaints. Food was really good and the $5 dollar specials are worth it. Drinks: The drinks need major improvements. They have a big cocktail list, but I'm wondering who came up with the ideas and the drink mixes. Every drink that I ordered was overpowered with lemon juice. Not sure if it's used to make the drink seem bigger, but it's a horrible mix. I barely tasted any liquor and for the price, felt cheated. $14 for a lemon cocktail with a splash of whiskey inside a water cooler cup isn't the way to go. Overall, cool place if you want to listen to some old school rap or r&b. Plenty of mamas and papas in there. read more

Great aesthetic and the music was great! We came before DJ hours but I wasn't disappointed with the playlist at all. The hostess was professional and the bartender (Veronica) was friendly, attentive and provided top notch service! Decent menu of small bites. Limited drink menu which is expected from the title. DRINKS: Hibiscus Paloma was excellent! Extra dirty Belvedere martini was excellent! The blackberry sidecar was good. FOOD: The salmon croquettes bites, avocado and crab on garlic toast, and twice fried garlic butter tots were all EXCELLENTLY DELICIOUS!!! Only negative is the uncomfortable seats. They have 8 loveseats and the rest are high tables with narrow and very uncomfortable stools. read more
