    Pornstar Martini
    Emanuel L.

    We needed a bite before the show and dipped in. Chill vibe, nice music, tv was replaying the NBA finals, would've preferred something live/relevant. The entrance was open w/a brisk breeze in tow... Service 3.5outta5 We seated ourselves, server provided menus. It wasn't bad but a lil more attentiveness would've been appreciated. At one point I looked a male server in the eye and motioned for assistance, he ignored me. Drinks 3.5outta5 They weren't bad. I would've preferred more lychee syrup in mine but it served its purpose. Wings 4outta5 They tasted great. Salmon slider 4outta5 She loved them. Salmon's a challenge for me. I prefer it loaded w/seasoning. It wasn't bad, just lacked flavor imo. Chicken sliders 4.5outta5 Chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly, bun was soft; my only gripe was the slaw. There was no crunch to it making for a soggy bite. It was good otherwise. All in all we enjoyed ourselves. #GoTaste&See

    Great spot for anyone in their 20s to mid 30s looking for a fun, easygoing vibe. The atmosphere was relaxed, which made it a nice place to unwind on a Friday. Service was on the lighter side, but the staff was friendly. The food overall was decent. A few dishes leaned salty, although the sliders stood out and were genuinely good. A solid option if you are looking for a casual night out with good energy.

    If you're looking for grown and sexy vibes with incredible Afro-Latin-Caribbean cuisine, Nosso is the place to be! The decor is stunning, the ambiance is warm and intimate, and reservations are a must--this spot fills up fast for a reason. Food & Drinks * Cocktails? Impeccable! The Chan Chan cocktail is a must-try--balanced, flavorful, and beautifully presented. * Tapas? Flawless. I highly recommend: * The Pinchos - perfectly grilled and seasoned, great texture and flavor. * Jerk Gamba - bold jerk seasoning with a rich tomato sauce, bursting with flavor. * Crispy Goat Cheese - citrusy, creamy, and deliciously crunchy. Plus, shoutout to their holiday drinks--they actually had Coquito, which was such a nice surprise and super well done! If you love great cocktails, thoughtfully executed small plates, and a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere, Nosso should be at the top of your list. I'll definitely be back!

    I got the chicken and plantain waffles: wow. The flavors were incredible. Fresh fruit and wonderfully seasoned chicken. Cocktails were also delicious. We were the first ones so it was a bit slow as they fired up the grill but music definitely helped to remind us that it was Sunday and to relax.

    Came here for Sunday brunch and was genuinely impressed. The music and overall vibe were on point lively, fun, and exactly what you'd want for a weekend outing. On top of that, the food selection was excellent. I had never tried oxtail sliders before, but they ended up being some of the best sliders I've ever had tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The rest of the menu looked just as tempting. Service was also great friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely planning to come back!

    Came in for opening night-- got there early so the wait wasn't bad. The bar is up a small flight of stairs with seating along the right edges. Overall, a pretty good experience. The drinks were good, although a bit difficult to catch the bartenders' attention, which is expected opening night. The music... a lot of Drake and throwbacks so if you're a fan then this place is for you, though I'm pretty sure they switch it up once in a while. The only thing that I didn't like were the lack of bathrooms. For a crowd of this magnitude, two bathrooms was rough.

    I've been here a couple of times, late night on a Friday/Saturday. It is a bar with somewhat of a club vibe that plays hip-hop and R&B. There is almost always a good number of people, but never overly crowded. No line or cover to get in. Their drinks are nicely balanced, they make a great pornstar martini. I came on a Wednesday evening for a special event and finally tried their food! The wagyu slides are DELICIOUS! So much gruyere cheese, just the right amount of sauce, tender, get these sliders!

    It's always a vibe at Nosso , special shoutout to our bartender for the night Ramon . He was on top of it . Drinks were delicious . The food was great .

    Food is 10/10. Bartenders are sweet and make some of the best cocktails I've had. Their signature drink "Now You Nosso" is my fav (basically a lychee martini). It is so pretty everywhere, even (especially) on your way to the bathroom. If you are celebrating a birthday be sure to reserve your table and claim it early, because it gets crowded!

    Altos Blanco & Pornstar Martini.

    Service good but expect delays when ordering, there was 2 bartenders with about 60 people. Had hip hop & R&B music. Passed the vibe check. Had two people cleaning the bar and tables throughout the night. Expect a bit of a crowd.

    The vibes were cool. The bartender made the best pornstar martini I've ever had. Will be back to try the food and grab another martini

    Viridian, you stole the show this month! This was my first time coming back to Viridian after about…read morea decade, and we were not disappointed. Such a beautiful interior space vibrant in celebration for AAPI Heritage month, and a super fun cocktail menu that was the perfect post-meal moment (both photo-worthy and tastebuds approved). We also noticed they have a cool food menu too filled with yummy and innovative dishes like Cheesy Char Siu Tots, Szechuan Salt & Pepper Wings, Korean Fried Mapo Tofu, BBQ Char Siu Ribs, and more. They also have nice swag ~ we took home a hat that resembled a Kirkland hat that spelled out "Oakland Viridian" (IYKYK). Drink-wise we ordered the Soy Sauce Old Fashioned and the Café Sua Daddy, which essentially is an espresso martini with a fun twist with black sesame and an egg cream foam. Both drinks were outstanding and presentation was beyond..I wished we could have stayed for round two, but duty calls! Ride-share and or BART suggested in this area, it's just a bit congested downtown to park. Service was fun, prices fair for the whole experience. Loved it!

    This place is so cute inside it's definitely a cool almost speakeasy vibe. Came an hour after they…read moreopened and it was already getting pretty busy on a Thursday night. Service was really prompt and friendly. The food was great we ordered all the classics such as the tater tots and the cucumbers, and we also got the salt and pepper wings, and the special mapo tofu. Portions are great and it's definitely a lot of food to share. There are also extensive cocktails on the menu running at $16-$20 each, which is expected for the creativity and expert craftsmanship of each cocktail. They have a large number of cocktails that are special and seasonal, and then their classics on the bottom. I don't think you can go wrong with anything that you try and I love that they have Asian fusion options for the cocktails and savory and sweet. I got one of the seasonal cocktails that was passionfruit forward and it had a nice tart crisp taste that I really enjoyed.
