    We got mixed reviews from others that have visited so we had to go taste & see for ourselves. Nice atmosphere, chill, welcoming vibe. Young staff left a lot to be desired. Plates & silverware & crab cracker tools & condiments should not have to be requested. An open, old, dry & crusty bottle of discolored hot sauce was placed on the table, unacceptable. Crab-cake egg rolls 3outta5 They were different but in a good way. They could use some veggies for texture but pretty good overall. Catfish & Cabbage 2.5outta5 The fish was fried & seasoned well. The cabbage left a lot to be desired. The flavor was off putting. Big Daddy 1outta5 It didn't live up to the price or description. 3 unseasoned shrimp instead of 5 jumbo prawns, the garlic butter wasn't fresh & was thick like a paste. Canned garlic looks & tastes vastly different than fresh. The lobster was salty & inedible. The crab was ok. Garlic noodles didn't have much garlic. Nothing was "smothered" in their signature garlic butter. Cocktails 2.5outta5 they were ok, good flavor not much liquor. Quality control is missing. Service & quality should align with the tab. #GoTaste&See Maybe not a wise choice...

    Shrimp and side of Mac & Cheese
    Brandi P.

    Talk about disappointing. From the moment we walked in, the experience was chaotic and poorly managed. We weren't greeted when we entered, and when we were finally seated, our tables clearly still had food underneath from the previous party. That alone made a bad first impression. What also didn't make sense was the seating. Our group was placed at tables right next to each other while there were plenty of open tables throughout the restaurant. Why cram everyone together instead of spacing guests out for comfort? The pay-as-you-order system also felt odd. I'm not sure if that's because people leave before paying or before eating, but it definitely added to the strange experience. The biggest issue was the wait. It took 45 minutes for our food to come out, and we ordered pretty simple items. That kind of wait would be frustrating even if the food came out amazing--but it didn't. Our food wasn't even piping hot when it arrived. Flavor-wise, it was just okay. Nothing memorable. I ordered garlic-based items expecting that bold garlic punch, and it was seriously lacking. The food wasn't bad, but it definitely didn't justify the wait or the price. Speaking of price--everything felt overpriced. I understand prices have gone up everywhere, but $18 for shrimp (decent size, sure) and they still come with the shell on plus you pay extra for sides? That's hard to justify. I do appreciate that they offer a few halal options, which is nice to see. But at these prices, those options don't feel worth it either. Another concern: the floors were slippery in multiple spots. Even wearing tennis shoes, we were slipping. That's a safety issue that needs to be addressed. I originally wanted to come back to try some of their special plates because they sounded really good, but after waiting 45 minutes for basic menu items, I'm honestly scared to think how long those would take. Overall, between the poor service, lack of cleanliness, long wait times, mediocre food, slippery floors, and high prices, this was not a good experience. Unfortunately, I don't see myself returning.

    Catfish chicken
    Bee K.

    First time here. It looked closed but it was open. It's a little to dark inside for me but the food made up for that My food was delish. Catfish was fried just right, crispy but not hard, now them Brussels sprouts was hitting like 100/100, the chicken n fries I took home for my son and he loved it. My drink was just how I like it. The waitress name started with an R she was cool. Great vibes go visit be patient I saw youth working

    Jumbo shrimp, garlic noodles and fish
    dawn p.

    Everything is good. The shrimp and fish were very seasoned. The sauce for the shrimp is a spicy sauce. It tastes like Crystals hot sauce with mayonnaise. Garlic noodles taste like standard noodles. Nothing special. Portions are huge. The food can take a while but it's worth it. The ambiance is chill. They play 90s Randb. No parking lot. Only street parking.

    Catfish with yams and cabbage
    Brittany D.

    Came to this restaurant on a spur the moment after my cousin's graduation with my whole family and I'm so glad we did! The food was truly soul food. I got the smothered turkey wings with cabbage and mac & cheese. I really enjoyed the turkey wings. They were so good. The portion sizes are amazing. I also got the lemonade, which was really sweet. Definitely needed to delete it a little bit for myself overall, the experience was really nice and the team was great. The ambience of the place felt very home like like a good old family reunion.

    Yams, wings (lemon pepper and buffalo), cat fish, corn muffin.

    Very solid soul food restaurant! The wait was short, and all the staff were very kind and helpful. The ambiance had a comfortable family restaurant feel. I'm not from the area, but I'd definitely comeback if I'm in town. We got wings, greens, ox tail, Mac, cat fish, yams, red beans and rice, corn bread, and fried zucchini. Everything was tasty. My favorites were the yams and catfish!

    Oxtail and grits
    Mar H.

    We came in for Sunday brunch. Everyone was very friendly from the moment we stepped in. I wish our server was more attentive. She gave us A LOT of time to go over the menu, then more time after she dropped off our food. We're thankful for the other ladies working who checked in on us and gave us more water. We were missing some items so we added it to our to-go order. We repeated our order twice and she repeated back to us and it was still wrong. We didn't realize it until we got home. Oh well. What we ordered: Oxtail & grits - 10/10 Very flavorful. Good portion size. Boozie Special - 8/10 Very flavorful but dry even with the gravy. BIG portion Candied yams - 7/10 Really sweet. We didn't order this but it was in our to-go bag. 2 piece fish meal - 10/10 Flavorful and portion was good. Bet it would've tasted better with the collard greens that didn't make it in our bag. Mac & cheese - 7/10 It was just ok. Misc: There is a lot of street parking and the bathrooms are clean. :-)

    I got the braised oxtails. It comes with two sides. I got mac & cheese and yams and added cornbread. Others in my party got waffles, fried chicken, turkey wings, red velvet waffle, and the mimosa tower. The waitress Resheemah was on point! She knew the menu, was very thorough and efficient when taking orders, explaining the menu and drink options etc. she came through several times to check ok us and make sure everyone was happy. The music was nice!! Catered to Gen X & Millennials. They had a really appealing brunch and lunch menu. I heard the dinner menu has garlic noodles and crab!! I gotta come back for that

    Shrimp and fish plate
    Michelle T.

    I'll start by saying I did NOT dislike my experience here. The service was good and the food was cool. The only reason I'm rating it a 3 is because the food is not worth what you pay for it. For 6 party wings, 2 sides, and a piece of cornbread it cost me $40. There are up charges for so many things. For example, of the 6 wings I got 3 of them were BBQ Hennessy wings and that cost me an additional $3. In all fairness it may have been explicit on the menu but I missed it and felt the pricing was unreasonable. The highlight was the mimosa tower. That was absolutely worth it!

    Fried Zucchini
    Kelley K.

    The food was so tasty. Perfectly seasoned, whomever is cooking, thank you! I can't wait to bring my husband here. Highlights were their greens & fried zucchini for me! Not everyone can make perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned greens. Theirs were fantastic! Fried zucchini, also not over cooked, perfectly seasoned & their light batter stayed on the zucchini. Also, not most can get those veggies cooked to perfection. We had a couple hiccups. Totally forgiving for me, but worth mentioning. We order appetizers, hesitated ordering lunch, because we wanted apps first. On the third ask from waitress, we explained but ordered lunch & then she brought us our lunch. No apps. Ok. We asked to skip them. Nope, they came half way thru. Oxtail was delicious, perfectly cooked & seasoned. They were not served hot. Temperature was kinda warm. Then when paying tab; our waitress, the restaurant nor the bartender had cash/change. My friend & I had cash. Asked us to pay cc. Things to note: Discount on bill if you pay cash. They do not split checks/bills. Their address is 1825-3 & on the corner of San Pablo & 18th. No hard alcohol. Beer, wine & wine cocktails available. My friend had a wine lemon drop. She said it was good. The restaurant is well decorated, clean & has an all around pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant. Just dont trip on order of food arriving nor the little things. Their food is delicious! Servers are friendly & I appreciated their service.

    Crab Cake Egg Rolls
    Dajahane L.

    I will give the overall experience a 7/10.. The servers were also the hostesses. So everything seemed a bit rushed and i could tell they were overwhelmed and probably felt overworked, considering there were only 2 of them (one working the bar as well) i understand. We got the meal with 6 shrimp & 3 pieces of fish, the fish and shrimp were both seasoned really well, and had a nice crunchy coating to them also came with seasoned fries that had a sweet little taste to them, & also the meal came with this really delicious tangishy orange sauce that had a little spice to it. That meal was a 9/10. We got Mac n cheese, black eyed peas, crab cake egg roll, peach lemonade (fresh squeezed), & garlic noddles. The Mac n cheese was okay, i like a more creamy Mac, but it was superrr cheesy! The black eyed peas would say were also a 6/10, they were a bit mushy and not very flavorful. Now the crab cake egg roll was like a 5/10. No flavor really at all besides crab, & i (personally) think it's crazy that the serving options are 1 or 4 lol like?? Having 1 as an option just makes no sense to me. I could see options of either 2 or 4.. The peach lemonade which is fresh squeezed was a 8/10 but be aware it's veryyyyyy sweet! Like if you don't like sweet lemonade you will either have to water it completely down or just not get it. My man who usually orders 2 or 3 drinks didn't finish his because he hates overly sweet lemonade. The garlic noodles were 8/10. Good garlic flavor, buttery and cooked well.

    Greens and cabbage mixed
    Joyce J.

    Yummy, yummy in my tummy! I ordered Ox Tails with cabbage and collard greens through Uber Eats (great service; quick prep and delivery) and it arrived hot, fresh, and delicious. The ox tails were tender and flavored well and were served on a bed of rice and gravy which was also seasoned well. I mixed the cabbage and greens together which made the greens yummier due to the seasoning used for the cabbage. There was a promotion which allowed me to also receive free Kool-Aid and it was exactly how I grew up drinking it, shweet! I'll definitely order from here again when traveling in the Oakland area!!!

    The menu
    Andrea D.

    Absolutely delicious! This is where my cousin wanted to go for his graduation dinner and it didn't disappoint! We had to wait 45 minutes before we could be seated, but as soon as we were, we were immediately greeted by our fabulous waitress. The place was dim but as the night went on, they raised the curtains which did allow more light in. It was definitely busy and full of people, but it wasn't overly loud. The oxtail and grits were delectable. My Grandmother ordered the fried fish with cabbage, yams and cornbread and she stated that she loved it. The mango lemonade was pretty good but my cousin's came out very sweet so the flavors between the 2 lemonade we ordered was not consistent.

He found the ribs to be fall-off-the bone tender, with potatoes that were more whipped than mashed alongside a carrot puree. I, on the other hand, had the New York Steak and au gratin potatoes. Though I wanted to enjoy my entree, I found the New York Steak to be unfortunately chewy and with too much fat. The au gratin potatoes could have had more crispy layers but tasted mediocre. Though I'd only rate this first experience with three stars. the service staff DID win us over and could potentially be the reason I'd be open to giving it another try.

I really like how they let you build your seafood experience exactly how you want it, from the type of seafood to the seasoning and spice level. The only thing was I think the spice level could've been kicked up a notch. Our table ordered a mix of oysters, garlic noodles, Cajun fries, shrimp, crawfish, mussels, which came with corn, potatoes, sausage and hard boiled egg! The seafood was fresh and the sauce coated everything nicely without being overwhelmingly salty, and the corn and potatoes soaked up all the seasoning. All for a very reasonable price if you get the combo, which comes in 3 different tiers! The oysters were a standout--fresh, briny & I loved all the different sauces like horse radish and cocktail on the side. I do wish the fries were a bit more crispy and could've gone heavier with the Cajun seasoning, but that's personal preference. The atmosphere is casual, lively, and perfect for big groups.

If the restaurant serves frozen crawfish, that's fine, but customers should be given accurate information when they ask directly about the product right? I feel misled because I relied on what I was told when making my purchase. Transparency is important, and I hope the restaurant does a better job communicating with customers about whether their crawfish are live or previously frozen. VERY DISHONEST BUSINESS SMH.

Of the items we ordered, the fried fish sandwich was by far my favorite. I really enjoyed the soft bread they used. The balance of flavor between the slice of American cheese, tomato, shredded lettuce and tartar sauce was perfect. The fish itself was super crispy, not oily, and the outer crust held up to the sauce without problems. The oysters we ordered were on the sweet side. If I were to guess, I would wager they were Kumamoto oysters. Although the oysters themselves tasted great, the shucking could have been improved: one of the oysters I had had quite a large piece of shell in it, and with another one, the muscle of the oyster hadn't been cut from the shell. I believe the kitchen staff is quite small, so if you're coming on a busy day and you have a large group, I would definitely bring your patience, as food and beverages may take a while to get to you. Although a hazy IPA would've been the perfect complement to my meal, paying $12 felt a bit much for me, and my wallet told me to pass and enjoy a beer at home instead. Overall, I had a pretty solid experience at Ace Seafood -- minus sitting in the scorching sun in the uncovered back patio.

    I've come to Sirene several times and the staff is always very friendly. My go to drink is the…read morediana, it's so yummy. I'm a french fry snob and their fries are everything, along with their ketchup! The outside area is super cute and hope to try their dinner items at some point. I stopped by today and was surprised by a customer who was being extremely rude to the staff and they were upset because they claim the biscuit they ate was raw...but they ate the entire biscuit and didn't bother bringing it to their attention. Honestly the way in which this woman spoke to the staff made me feel uncomfortable for them. Can we all remember to show some kindness to the people who show up and serve us? Common decency.

    Interesting to come to Yelp and find out that I am not the only one who experienced something…read morenegative with the staff. Best I can offer is -- avoid the cheddar scallion biscuit unless you like raw dough. Definitely ask them to warm it up (although who knows if that will help?). If you mention it is raw, they will blame you for not knowing to ask to warm it up. They will not suggest that this is an option when you purchase the biscuit. Though given how wet and gray this item was in the center, they should at least suggest it. Or automatically do it. What stunned me was the lack of care, curiosity, or any sense of service on the part of the young barrista. She was defensive, accusatory, and judgmental. And after I walked out, she and her coworker were laughing (seemingly at me though I can't be sure). When I walked back in, because I wanted to address how odd that interaction was, and hoped to get to a kinder place rather than running away, both employees avoided eye contact until one hissed to the other "They're back." And so the first one and I spoke again, and she continued to double-down with the rudeness and blame and defensiveness. Which was just wild. But after reading the other negative reviews here, I realize now that this is normal for Sirene.
