Iron Oak - Oakland

Though OpenTable allowed me to do a reservation at a particular time. When my wife and I arrived, we were informed that the restaurant closed from 11 AM 5 PM. Essentially a wasted trip from San Jose area.

The food server was not a good listener or didn't care. We ordered the chocolate cake. We specifically said that we do not like fudge. The cake had fudge. When we mentioned it, the server dismissed our concerns. My wife's salmon looked process. She mentioned that it was rubbery and flavorless. My hamburger was dry despite my efforts of adding extra aioli and ketchup. I would not recommend this place.

Sabi, our waiter, was so amazing. He was so accommodating and cordial. Apologetic, when he didn’t need to be. My mother and I were enjoying our time together. Great service. Great food. Looking forward to our next meal there.

The menu was still limited so not everything I expected based on the online menu was available. The service and bar staff were great. It’s a hotel restaurant so as always it was over priced. The food was good. Id return.

The only comment I have is that I wasn’t aware it was on the second floor and had some trouble finding it.
