Menu for À Côté Restaurant in Oakland, CA

A little on the dark side. Needs to brighten up a notch Good service. Food used to be better that is why I gave 3 stars.

This place was really terrible. The server completely ignored us, the food was lacking, and honestly it was overpriced for the... quality and quantity of what we got. Read more

I am French and I?m always happy to try a French restaurant but often disappointed. This time again my expectations were very... high, I went with a few friends of mine to À côté with the hope to share a little bit of my culture and good food. And it wastruly delicious ! I had some salted cod, a speciality from the south of France and it was like in my memories and still verysurprised they had it on the menu. My friends and I, loved the food and the place. One tip; I really suggest you to ask atable at their heated patio on the back of the restaurant: very very nice !!! Read more

One of the best restaurants on College in my opinion. They serve a lot of smaller plates for sharing, sort of in a tapas style,... along with some larger entrees. Wine selection is always extensive with lots of interesting wines from around the world (mostlyEurope). I have never been disappointed by a visit there, and if you go and are a fan of seafood, be sure to try the Mussels! Read more

I sampled both of today's salads, one based on butter lettuce and the other on spinach, and they were both very tasty. The... chicken wrapped in phyllo dough was not as appealing. The main course, a flank steak with hen-of-the-woods mushrooms and greens,was expertly prepared and delicious. The chocolate mousse was dense, made with dark chocolate and equally delicious, although Idid not like the accompanying vanilla cream. The ambience is is pleasant and upscale but a shade too dim.
