OVO Tavern - Oakland

The restaurant was closed for the day. It is important not to allow people to make reservations for establishments that are not open.

I visited this restaurant based on a recommendation and found it to be a nice and friendly place. The food was interesting, although the selection was a bit limited. I decided to try the prawns, which were well-prepared and served in a reasonable portion size. I was pleased that the restaurant did not contribute to the trend of making Americans overweight. The drink selection leaned heavily towards IPAs, which seems to be a common issue in the area. The main downside for me was the background music, which was too loud and distracting. The staff was friendly, although slightly distracted at times. Overall, it was a good experience and I would consider returning if I am in the area again.

The restaurant was closed for the night! Please do not allow people to make reservations for places that are not open!

This restaurant is a beautiful and friendly place. The dining experience was interesting, although the menu choices were a bit limited. I tried the clams, which were well-prepared and the portion size was just right. This restaurant does not contribute to the trend of making Americans obese with oversized portions. The drinks leaned more towards IPA, which seems to be a common issue here. My main complaint was the background music, which was too loud and distracting. While live music would have been acceptable, it wasn't even a DJ playing, making it difficult to carry on a conversation. The staff were friendly, though sometimes a bit slow, but overall good. I decided to try this restaurant based on a recommendation from a friend in Berkeley, as it is not my usual go-to spot. I might consider returning if I find myself in the area again.

I enjoyed this restaurant a lot, but I want to keep it a secret! The chicken wings are fantastic.
