Best Live Music Restaurants in Oakland

Superb! From the time we arrived, until we left. Everything was amazing. We do not have any complaints. Giancarlo, our waiter/server was TOP TIER! Each of his recommendations were spot on and my Fiance and I enjoyed our evening. We cannot wait to visit them again! Highly recommend it!

Valentine's night , wasn't expecting the best just because of sheer volume associated with nigh Boy was I wrong Food was exceptional Service was good if not a little slow but to be expected Would 100 percent go back just for any reason Damn do I need a reason lol Great place

I had heard about Rails from numerous people who have always raved about it. So, I was very excited in anticipation. The restaurant is beautiful right alongside the Towaco Railroad Station. Plenty of help valet parking but a bit of a walk to get inside. The ambiance is nice with an extensive top notch wine list. But our waitress was not as knowledgeable about the menus that might have been a good opportunity for an upsell for our order. And it was kind of hard to get over that my guest’s lobster tail arrived raw. In sending it back when I asked the waitress about it she said oh! I didn’t talk to them, they’re very busy with it being the holiday. . . Not a very good first impression. Not even an apology. I would go back though. And I understand you can take a tour and go through the secret door to the bar in the cellar. The menu is a la carte which make it seem expensive, but the prices are actually quite reasonable.

Cocktails before dinner, Manhattan and Old Fashion were great. Server was attentive, friendly and engaging. Food arrived promptly and was delicious. Went early on a holiday evening and atmosphere was upbeat and over dinner grew to modestly noisy though it never impacted conversation at the table. Holiday Pre-fixe menu was a bit on the pricey side but good value for a special event. Look forward to going again.

Had a great overall experience at this occasion - even though the time of my reservation was during a slow period (weekday afternoon).
