Anytime, for breakfast, lunch or dinner, this restaurant offers excellent dishes in a casual cozy environment. Helpful wait staff. The hostess before noon on Saturday December 13 was less than helpful if not useless. She didn’t know the menu or how to level a table.

Good spot if you want regular breakfast/brunch food with a twist. I got the grits with a poached egg and an iced matcha. Both were great. We sat at the bar on a Friday morning. The place was kicking but not too loud.

This 5 star has largely to do with our server that day who was amazing. (lost the recipe with his name!) It was a beautiful day out by the Lake and he was giving back to our vibes.
We ordered a few drinks to start. The Hugo Spritz (light, bright and refreshing), and a Bloody Mary. Our server gave us two straws for the Bloody Mary and an extra stick of the picked veggies (thank you).
For bites we got the bowl of Jeans Persian cucumbers, Oyako deviled eggs, and the Reuben Fries. Everything was tasty, but we both wish we should have asked for more of the Reuben sauce and sauerkraut. We also wanted the cheese slightly more melted and gooey but that didn’t stop us from destroying it.
It was the perfect afternoon to be visiting the Grand Lake Kitchen

Cute little bistro right across the street from the very scenic Grand Lake in Oakland. It’s very laid back and not fancy, which is what we were looking for. They had some nice cocktail options as well as some local craft beers, which hit the spot after a long day of traveling to the area. As an appetizer, we tried the fried zucchini, and it was perfectly fried and delicious. Try that out for sure! They have a good spread of menu options. We enjoyed our sandwich choices, including the Americana burger and their pulled pork special, plus their fries were very good. For dessert, we tried their mini cinnamon donuts, which were outstanding! Our server was super friendly and pleasant to talk to and a lot of fun, and all other servers we encountered seemed to really appreciate their customers. We were very happy with our selection to visit the GLK and would come back for sure next time we visit Oakland!

10/10 it’s a beautiful place and the food was AMAZING. We sat at the bar and they accommodated that request with no issues. My mocktails were made perfectly and every meal was delicious. Lamb for $15 , yes please.

Great brunch spot! The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, and the place in general had a very relaxing weekend vibe. I absolutely loved the avocado toast—I’d definitely order it again if I return. The sourdough French toast was good too, though it wasn’t quite to my personal taste.

Love this place!! What a vibe. We had no reservations but they tried to seat us a quickly as possible. We ended up sitting at the bar, which is always fun because bartenders have the best personalities. Which proved to be true here. We got the mimosa flight which was pretty tasty. The brunch food was great as well. The plates were thoughtful and full of flavor, there were a lot of fun choices on the menu as well – hard to pick!

Sooooo I just started selling my crochet wares across the street from this restaurant, and after 2 weekends of being adjacent to it, I HAD TO try it!
Not only was everyone friendly and the atmosphere was such a nice vibe, but my brisket French dip was FIRE
Fairly priced, as well, in my opinion

I love the food here, and the drinks are good too. My last experience here was the best!!! The hostess and our waitress gave the most amazing service! I would mention there names but it might not be appropriate! But one has the name of a flower and the other one sounds like Etsy… they made our experience the best !!!!

Limited menu, but very tasty choices. We had a thick, delicious Reuben sandwich, a chicken pot pie with the flakiest crust, and a shrimp risotto. The service was friendly, attentive and helpful. It’s an informal setting, but not noisy at all
