This is easily my favorite music venue in the Bay without a doubt. My wife and I used to live in Oakland and could walk here. And we would go once a month at least. First of all, the food is phenomenal. Most live music venues are not known for their food. But the sushi, ambiance and service from this restaurant are top notch. If you make a reservation for food before the concert, you often get priority seating too. The music venue is in a separate room inside the restaurant. Once you enter the music venue, it is small and close knit. There are no bad seats in the house. Bartenders will serve you drinks and food during concerts as well so you never have to leave your seat. I was shocked at the list of artists that come into this place. Artists that can probably fill up stadiums and arenas perform here. Depending on the artists, it can turn into a party. I’ve seen the audience get up and dance in their seats on plenty of occasions. And the ticket prices are decent. This place is a must try! It’s easily what we miss the most from Oakland.

So this place was above my expectations. Seating was timely, the atmosphere was very romantic. Although it was very busy, our server Jorge was always on point. My water glass was never empty, my wine glass was never empty and when I could not decide what I wanted Jorge recommended the pork chop. I was NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! It was cooked to 👌🏾 perfection!😍. My friend got the salmon and she also states it was flavorful and cooked well. I was so pleased with the service I wanted to speak to the manager and he (Nick) was out on the floor being great!!!. I swear if you have not been here for any reason, you're missing out. Just be sure to validate your parking before you leave.
