Spirits & Tales

Beautiful hotel restaurant with great views and fun food. In detail ... The vibe: Great hotel restaurant and bar! We stayed here for a wedding and loved this spot for both dining and room service. It's super cute and chic, full bar, has a great views of the city. Room service was also easy, efficient, and respectful.

What we ordered: We ate a *lot* on the menu and most enjoyed the french onion soup (delicious!!! had it twice), the wild mushroom ravioli, the breakfast sandwich (sub the potato hash for a side of maple sausage), the whipped ricotta, olive starter, the beet salad, the lobster and corn bisque, and the frittata. (We also got the burgers which were perfectly fine.) Cocktails are great too: we especially enjoyed the S&T Bloody Mary's, their Derby Mule, and the rotating Cocktail for a Cause.

Good for: I'm sure this restaurant would be a good fit for anyone with a business meeting to impress or someone looking for an upscale feeling date, and it's certainly a wonderful choice for wedding groups. Server and bar staff were respectful and efficient. Kind and helpful manager Andy who can help with big group reservations.

The entrance and ambiance is really nice. The service was great too. I would definitely go back again. I just wish they had more stuff in their menu. Smoothies and other healthy options would be great.

Tasty food and great view for sure!

This restaurant has great food and an excellent view of Oakland. We came later in the evening to get a coffee and bite to eat and we’re very satisfied. I had the grilled olives which were quite delicious and very recommended. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. And the view absolutely cannot be beat. If you want to be seated outside try coming a few hours before they close to get an open table.
