Grand Lake Kitchen has opened its second Oakland location at 2042 MacArthur Blvd. in the Dimond district. The new addition serves brunch and dinner along with beer, wine and cocktails.
For brunch, the menu includes the smoked fish tower, which features trout dip, smoked salmon, black cod, bagel chips, cream cheese, capers, cucumbers, red onions, chives and lemon. At dinnertime, start with a bowl of matzo ball soup, and then consider either the ribeye steak (with creamed greens and mashed potatoes) or the vegetable pot pie (peas, onions, asparagus and potatoes).
Pet owners, take heed: Starting in July, dogs will be welcomed on the outdoor patio.
With a 4.5-star rating out of 27 reviews on Yelp so far, the eatery has already made a good impression.
Etai W., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on June 22, wrote, "Grand Lake Kitchen is that rare restaurant where everything is consistent. Ingredients are always fresh and top notch, menu items are all solid and you just leave feeling good."
Yelper Karen W. added, “We ordered the ribeye steak, pork chops and King salmon, and they were absolutely delish. The ribeye steak made medium rare was juicy, tender, tasty and melted in our mouths. The pork chops were also good, flavorful and tender and the salmon was moist and tasty.”
Head on over to check it out: Grand Lake Kitchen is open from 9 a.m.–10 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday–Sunday. (It's closed on Tuesday.)
