super cute spot, not too busy on a weekend evening and had great selection of vegetarian options. the orange and white wines we had were superb, and the use of kumquats throughout may of the dishes added a nice citrusy acidity to it all to cut the grease. definitely get the crudo!

This has got to be one of the most underrated restaurants in the Bay if not the state, actually the country! Global dishes with an innovative touch and soulful take. And the owner/chef is a super cool dude. I am recommending this spot to all my foodie friends 😉

This has been my absolute favorite restaurant for a few years.. Eating at Snail Bar is like going to a friend’s house and a gourmet chef and sommelier have been hired to serve you. The service is warm and welcoming. The FOOD!! Combines the freshest ingredients in innovative ways that are always beautiful and delicious. The crew runs a tight ship and they have amazing visiting chefs at least once a month for “Homie Night” which is again another amazingly curated meal from the freshest farmer’s market ingredients. Snail Bar is a rare find, an absolute treasure!

Snail Bar is my favorite restaurant in Oakland. Their menu is constantly changing with the seasons and Chef Andres packs so much flavor into the dishes he creates.
The service was amazing, the staff are very detail oriented and hospitable. Great wine list and beautiful space. I can’t wait to visit again.

run don’t walk and try it all! always surprising, always delicious.
honestly considering how inflation has pushed all restaurant prices, it’s pretty incredible what quality ingredients and technique you get for a really reasonable cost that has remained pretty consistent since opening. well worth it.
also lowkey highlight is the nonwine drink selections, not just your standard local brewery but some really thoughtful atypical selections curated unlike anywhere else in the east bay.
try to check out a homie night if you want to really be blown away.

Love Snail Bar! Fantastic vibe. Great spot to have in the neighborhood – staff is super kind and always gives great recommendations. Go-to spot for a glass (or three) of wine and a light bite. Keep an eye out for guest chef nights and special menu additions.

Really enjoyed this place, the tuna tostadas were our favorite but their oysters with passionfruit was also really unique and delicious. I also LOVED the summer squash salad.

Easily one of the most creative (dishes, flavor combinations), and one of the best, meals I’ve had in the Bay Area. So many standouts – snails of course (miso and mandarin!), pan con tomate (+pimenton), mussels, oysters, scallop tostada, Venezuelan pancake, fried quail. And the wine was excellent (the chilled red birthday wine). A gem!
