Reviews for Odin in Oakland, CA
They should be really ashamed of themselves. I came here with some friends to a birthday, we got there right when they opened at... 5pm. I don\'t know if my friend looked too Mexican to them but they sat them all the way by the bathroom, and yet the restauranthad only one other party besides us. Who in their right mind will seat a couple, with plenty of other tables by the bathroom oran exiting door? What is that telling me? You are not welcome.\nThe service was okay, but I hate a liar when I see it. If youforgot to put an order just say so and apologize or make up for it, waiting 40 mins for 6 vegetarian tacos that looked so naked.I felt sorry taking pics of the plate, which BTW the entire meal was bland, had no flavor, pretentious trying to make Mexicangourmet based on pics but that are far from real outstanding food. I need flavor, even my grandma was rolling in her grave whenI ate there and she ain\'t even Mexican! Shame on you.\nPaying around $130 bucks for 6 veggie tacos, one queso fundido where Ihad to scrap to find any cheese, overfiled with the vegetables, this appetizer was really a joke. Again. I am myself ashamed forthem.\nI sent a picture of the guacamole you see posted in here to friends and they responded saying: that looks disgusting andwith no flavor, and they were right.\nI\'m curious about their mezcal drinks and their selection overall but to be served for athisle amount of alcohol and be charged an entire bottle I rather pass.\nI\'m not recommending this place and I definitely wishI would\'ve gotten my money back but because I was there for a birthday party I respected my friend\'s choice. they also passiveaggressively rushed us out of there by the time they hit 6pm and we were waiting for the tasteless food. So yeah. No, no, no andno...like a Destiny Chiild s song. NO. Read more
We absolutely LOVE our experience at Odin. The atmosphere is sheik yet welcoming. We ordered a ton of food and everything was... delicious. We also ordered 3 of the mezcal flights, which was the best decision we made. Not only did we receive a completeoverview of the mezcals we were tasking but we also were recommended different mezcals after we each explained our palette.Can\'t wait to return! Read more
Nice place and flavors overall. We waited 30 min for a table that had a reservation because it wasn\'t ready, offered to wait... ordering a drink but there\'s no area to hang out really. Server was a bit pushy with us ordering more. And things come in tinypresentations so it is overpriced. As someone who appreciates mezcal I think you don\'t have to spend too much to have a greatfood experience. Read more
Where do we begin?! As a mezcal fan... I was floored! As dessert fans we all were floored! As vegetarians we were impressed by... the choices! Top notch customer service where everyone really cared about what they served.\nA 10/10 for sure..! Read more
Beautiful interior/ambiance at Odin. Really cool decor throughout the restaurant with the vibrant bar as it’s centerpiece.... Intimate lighting and mood-setting music make it a solid place for small groups or date spot.\n\nStarted off with a nicemezcal-based cocktail which was nicely balanced. Then got some tasty chips & salsa before my beef & sweet potato tacos came. Thetacos left a little bit to be desired in regards to flavor and didn’t arrive hot but I’m hopeful they’ll work out theseshortcomings as Odin (hopefully) grows in popularity.\n\nAt the very least it’s a great place to come for drinks andappetizers, especially if you like mezcal.

The food is impeccable. It opened my eyes to delicious plant-based MEXICAN food. Yes, they made it happen! Creative, delicious... and a game changer. Top contender for our wedding caterer. The cocktails were also delicious, I had the most unique and tastypaloma. HIGHLY recommend. Read more
Amazing atmosphere and beautiful decor. Food was outstanding, get the beef tacos, they will change your life. The key lime pie... was the best I’ve had in my life. I can’t wait to go back! Great service! The chef came out to our table to make sure thefood was to our liking and the staff was courteous and helpful. The drinks were delicious and pack a punch. The only thing is,it’s gets busy BUT you can order drinks and wait outside in their nice outdoor bar area. Read more
Had to wait 15-20 minutes for our reserved table to be available. But it was worth the wait. The food came out super quick and... was delicious. Most of their menu is plant based. Mezcal tasting flight was also good. Dessert was vegan and surprisingly good. Read more
