Oeste - Bar

One of my favorite spots in Oakland. I love the food, vibe, music and staff. I usually sit on the rooftop even during December because it is so chill. My go to picks are the whole fish, brussel sprouts, mac n cheese, fried catfish, red beans & rice and bread pudding. Make sure to check out the brunch on Saturday or Sunday too.

Nice quaint spot up on the rooftop! Our table of 8 were seared immediately. Service was good. Food was amazing. I had catfish and their creamy grits! Someone grandma is back there stirring them slowly and adding the seasons of love and joy in the pot! All plates were empty. And the mimosas were flowing! Just get the carafe and you'll thank me later!

Had an AMAZING first time at Oeste! Sat upstairs on the patio and our server was pleasant and helpful. I didn't catch her name but she was of black decent with a strong accent.

The fried red snapper was delicious and the Mac & Cheese was even better. The music was on point and the vibe was great.

I have been to this restaurant a few times and each time we are very satisfied with our experience. The ambience and the vibe are always very nice and I love the fact that they have a DJ that keeps the music spinning. It definitely is busy in the evening so service may be a little slower than what is expected. I usually have catfish which is pretty good. I decided to try the mac and cheese annnnd let’s just say the presentation is the best thing. It was creamy and hot, temperature wise, but the seasoning was definitely not there. The only seasoning that you could taste was garlic so that definitely needs adjustment (unless they happen to have had a back up chef that night who may not be familiar with how to prepare this dish). The rooftop is also very nice and it’s definitely great that they have heaters because it definitely can be very cool later in the evening and at night. Either way, seating inside on the ground level or on the rooftop level is a win win because you definitely can still hear the music and enjoy the scenery. The prices are very reasonable but for those who are unaware, if you bring your own cake from outside they will charge you a $15 cake cutting fee. All in all, I would definitely recommend this restaurant because ambience is a key factor along with the food and service. There is plenty of street parking which is free of charge usually after 6 PM.

Nice spot for a night out, after work drinks or dinner. The food & service was good (our server, I think her name was B from France was super nice). Definitely make reservations if you don't want to wait or they run out of space. If does get pretty full. They also have a rooftop but it does get pretty cold. Check it out
