We ordered a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon that was recommended by the wine guy. It was pretty good. Calamari Fritti with Gremolata, & Chipotle Aioli was perfectly made. Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Aged 24 Month Reggiano Parmesan & Calabrian Chili Aioli was tasty. Ribeye with Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes, Chimichurri Roasted Vegetables, Italian Gorgonzola, Garlic & Herb Butter was good but way under cooked. Filet Mignin with Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes, Citrus Glazed Asparagus, Caramelized Shallot & Woodford Reserve Reduction was good and cooked perfectly. King Cut Prime Rib with Loaded Baked Potato, Chimichurri Vegetables, Au Jus & Fresh Horseradish was good seasoned well but over cooked. I wish they would of came and told me that they didn't have anymore medium rare cuts, instead of just bringing me a medium well piece. It still had a little red in the middle but not what I wanted. From prime rib its easy to tell that you are out of a medium rare cut. Its hard to send back when the people you are with has their food and you cant make them wait. That is the reason for the 3 stars!!!

However, after 6:30 PM, especially on weekends, it becomes difficult to find seating, so I'd recommend making a reservation in advance. We ordered our usual, Focaccia bread and the beetroot salad, which, as always, were absolutely 10/10. This time, we also tried the Madras coconut curry with vegetables. It wasn't overly sweet and had just the right amount of spice, which we really loved. The vegetables were perfectly cooked with a nice crunch. For dessert, we had the Lebane mousse, which was delicious and a perfect way to end the meal.

I got turned around in Oakland and found myself at the light facing hyphy burger!…read more I had seen it advertised on social media and decided to stop in and grab a bite. The parking lot was crowded with a bunch of people hanging out in cars standing around outside and at first I felt a little nervous about parking and going in. After a few minutes of assessing the situation, It seemed ok so I got out and went inside. Once inside, it seemed very light fun and casual. The employees don't seem to wear uniforms - instead they wear all different shirts with hyphy burger on them and jeans. The menu is simple - burgers, fries shakes and drinks and I noticed the menu said there was a new pastrami sandwich. The burger was OUTSTANDING!! ! The potato bum was very soft and fresh. The meat was a smash burger and it was hot and well seasoned. The fries were nothing really special but they were hot and fresh, which is very important to me! The decor inside is very simple with a few colorful tables and chairs. We did have to wait a bit longer than expected since it wasn't too crowded, but the burger was well worth the wait. If I ever find myself in the area I'd definitely stop in again! This burger joint is Kym approved!

Wow we were pretty impressed. The burger landed in a 2 way tie in 3rd place. Cool and fun decor, and had a convenient amount of parking. The staff was awesome. Friendly and on point. The Food: Burnout Burger + pastrami: Okay there are two things I will ALWAYS get on a burger if available: a fried egg or pastrami. The burger was excellent. The bun was soft and spongy but held up till the last bite. The patty had the perfect crispy smash burger quality to it and the pickles and peperonchini added a bit of salty crunch to things. The cheese added richness as did the pastrami. You Feel me Sauce was a perfect accompaniment. It seemed to have bread and butter pickle brine in it and it and I could probably eat it with just a spoon. The grilled onion added a sweet unami element as well. Loaded Fries: OMG this one was good as well. basically take everything from the burger down to the patty and put it on fries. Good god man the whole ensemble coupled with a few of the fries with their salty goodness and you have a perfect bite. Captain Crunch Shake: Think and creamy and the cereal added a textural element to it. I would advice a fast consumption however as the cereal get soggy pretty quickly.

He couldn't find the location of the restaurant on his mobile phone, so I called to find out where were they located. (Location is near the BART Station. It used to be a Chinese restaurant.) He was eager to try the bison stew. We didn't arrive at the restaurant until 1:45, 15 minutes before they were closing. Perusing the menu, we decided to order two bowls of bison stew. The choice of side was fry bread, tortilla, tortilla chips or cornbread. Since it was almost closing time, the waitress brought only one bowl of bison stew and the frybread. They ran out of the stew. My date didn't get cornbread. He was disappointed and somewhat wasn't feeling like having anything. Well, I don't operate like that - eat and don't share what I am having. Mama taught me better. The waitress brought a small bowl and a serving utensil, so my date and I could enjoy the stew and frybread. When I am blessed, the blessing is shared. My date and I never had frybread. He wasn't sure about the frybread. Myself, I am adventurous in eating something that I am willing to try the first time. The bison stew and frybread were bomb-diggity delicious. So tasty and perfectly seasoned that I wanna slap the cook and his/her mama. (Figuratively speaking. LOL) Minor drawback: Flatware was not provided. I can't slurp hot piping stew from the bowl. Asked and we received. It was all good. Return visit: Mos Def, and I am not talking about the rapper. That bison stew is hella delicious. There are no words to describe the frybread, as it left me grinning from ear to ear. Besides, there are other items on the menu I would like to enjoy, and savor the flavorings of delicious food. Bon appetite!

First of all, the ambiance was giving FOR US BY US, which we love. It was Friday night and there was a DJ playing throw backs. Very comforting. The servers were very attentive as well so we knew we'd be taken care of. But really what we need to get into is the flavor and generous portion sizes. Normally, I'm skeptical of roux-based mac & cheese because I typically prefer egg custard southern style baked mac & cheese, but the Mac and cheese was absolutely delicious, creamy and flavorful. My girl B got the gumbo and it was FIRE, crab legs and everything with that deep chocolate color you wanna see in a gumbo. Not greasy, just full of umami. I got the catfish with greens and rice and it was MASSIVE! Literally 2 meals for lil ole me. The fish was seasoned dowwwwwn and the greens were very solid. Sometimes in dishes like this the rice can be the afterthought, but the rice was also very flavorful and seasoned and paired well with everything. I will absolutely be back to big my back with those big ass plates of tasty Southern cookin.

Our food came out in about 10 minutes or less, which was impressive. We ordered a few steak hoagies, cheesesteak egg rolls, and their lemonade -- and wow.
