Top Hatter is one of our favorite restaurants. We had a little bit of a snafu when we went once for Valentine’s Day that was a little bit offputting where there was tip added to our check after we’ve already signed and left after several issues with being charged on different receipts. But we gave him another go and did not disappoint. The food was so tasty and the service was lovely and the ambience was top-notch.

I really love this place. The menu is always interesting and changing. I’ve eaten here 4 times, and always look forward to the deviled eggs and whatever soup they have for the night. Their specialty cocktails are pricey, and hit or miss for me. Make sure to designate you want a table, which I prefer over a sofa or the bar.

Amazing gem in downtown Oakland. I live in the peninsula but if I’m in the east bay, I have to make a stop. Renzo and Garrett have done an amazing job with the restaurant; the food is consistently excellent, as are the drinks, but what makes Lucuma stand out most is the service. Despite the restaurant being full, all of the staff make sure that you have a great experience every time. I can’t wait to go back!

    The food was amazing. I got the snapper Poboy, which was HUGE! And it only cost $20, such a great bargain. We also got the whole crab with Black and prawns but subbed out our garlic noodles for greens and yams. Delicious! We will be returning!

    Unbelievable. After a week in San Francisco, this food blew it al away. Trust the servers, I filled up dining alone but managed with their help to make the perfect combo.

    We were a group of 15 friends celebrating my husband's birthday at Pippal. The service, staff, food everything was excellent. This is our 3rd time at Pippal and we think that they keep getting better. The staff, esp Arsh, went above and beyond to make our experience special. We had a memorable and fantastic experience and highly recommend Pippal for parties.

    We pre- ordered the celebrate 5 birthdays in the family- everyone enjoyed the food. They served butter naan instead of assorted as we discussed but I didn’t mention it as everyone was enjoying the food anyway. They didn’t rush us and accommodated us bringing in an ice cream cake - was huge since my son wanted a S DQ cake. Many of us will be going back.
