When Lois the Pie Queen hit its 50th anniversary, it was celebrated at the Oakland Museum of California. That is how truly beloved this East Bay eatery is. It is dedicated to old-fashioned southern cooking and treating the clientele at its diner-style establishment like family. There are not many other places north of the Mason-Dixon line, or south for that matter, that offer authentic black-eyed peas or Lemon Icebox Pie. If you have never had grits and eggs before, there is no better place to sample them.
Receptor del codiciado premio James Beard Award, el chef Gary Danko practica su arte en el epómino restaurante Gary Danko, en el que solamente entran 75 comensales.

El menú único fijo incluye platos lujosos y modernos. La carta de vinos es estupenda y está poblada de cientos de botellas californianas y francesas.

Trendy and friendly, Tosca Cafe features a classy interior furnished with comfortable and inviting booths. The ambiance is subtle yet elegant, and the decor even more so. To avoid bass vibrations from the Palladium Club beneath the establishment, be sure to come to Tosca early on a weeknight. Relax in the same leather booths once occupied by Francis Ford Coppola and Sam Shepard at this charming and historic cafe. Sip a house coffee made with steamed milk, chocolate, and brandy, as you absorb the beauty of the opera on the jukebox and the antique espresso machine behind the counter. If you need something a little more substantial than a liquid diet, they serve a menu of Italian snacks and dishes.
Hordes of people travel out to the end of the Avenues to enjoy top-notch Vietnamese-fusion cuisine for reasonable prices, so make your reservations early.

Of course, no visit is complete without sampling the famous roast crab or the garlic-infused noodles. Bartender Graham, a Thanh Long institution, is a master of his art and the drinks show it.
