Wood Tavern Oakland Reviews from The Last Year
This is one of local boutique bar & restaurants in Oakland.
This restaurant offers a tantalizing array of delicious dishes that are sure to satisfy any taste. The food quality is consistently great, with each dish bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. While the food is outstanding, the same cannot be said for the service. Unfortunately, the service lacks warmth and friendliness, which can detract from the overall dining experience. Despite this drawback, the servers are generally efficient in taking orders and delivering food promptly. Consider this place pricy like $20 cocktails ($16+tip&tax!) and you'll be charged $2 per portion if you'd like to share a soup or salad for instance! You'd better just order the item and share within yourselves Overall, this restaurant is a great choice for those seeking delectable cuisine, but don't expect the staff to go above and beyond in terms of friendliness. If you're willing to overlook the average service for the sake of enjoying fantastic food, this place is worth a visit. Parking might be difficult with paid street parking though a Safeway parking lot close by. It has accessible entrance with accessible table. Could be kids friendly but not good for groups / meetups as indoor is relatively small.
BEST STEAK IN THE BAY The bartender Wesley/ west ( can't
BEST STEAK IN THE BAY The bartender Wesley/ west ( can't remember he's name ) best bartender hands down - remembered our names and conversations we had last time we came . He even remembered our drinks 10/10 next time I come and don't see him Im walking out . Recommend sitting on the bar .
Love this place.
I had my birthday and they were able to accommodate really well. My steak dish was excellent and the deserts we shared were incredible. I will definitely come back.
Great food, chill atmosphere and friendly staff.
Every dish is delicious and satisfying. They have a great beer selection and wine selection. Come here often for lunch or dinner and are never disappointed.
Always a great consistent option in SF.
It's normally hopping. No idea why it was so empty on a Friday night. We had an awesome dinner with great ambiance and service. Hope people keep supporting our great restaurants in Sf.
My neighborhood, and it's too good for me now.
lol. Love this spot, but uggh not the owner but the patrons, and some "staff " will make you feel unwelcome and uncomfortable if you're "black". Though shiieet I love the restaurants the owner has in the town. Talk about Yummy!!
It's been a while since I've dined here and I was so
It's been a while since I've dined here and I was so excited to come back. From my last experience a few years ago, it was amazing! Sadly, that was not the case yesterday. I recommended Wood Tavern to my work colleagues who were visiting from out of town. I arrived first and was greeted by the hostess, who was very nice. When i got seated, and the rest of my party arrived, we were waiting an incredibly long time for the waiter to greet us. We had several people come by every now and then to fill our water but when the waiter came, he didn't even tell us his name and that he'd be serving us. I ordered a cocktail and it was incredibly sweet for my liking. My other colleague arrived late and when it was time to order, she had asked about the "secret" vegan menu. She has food allergies and is vegan and had called in prior asking about accommodations with the menu. The person she spoke to was very nice and said to just ask the waiter and they would be able to make arrangements. When it was her turn to order, she asked the waiter about the vegan menu, he immediately shut it down and said no. She had explained her situation and so he went to ask the chef what was available. He came back letting her know that there was a vegan mushroom risotto cooked with water. She ordered that but when it came, she got a bowl of vegetables. He didn't address that and with my colleague constantly struggling to eat out due to her allergies, she didn't think it was worth it to bring it up. This is incredibly disappointing to hear. Additionally, the entree I received was almost inedible. I ordered the burger as medium rare but the burger was basically mooing at me. Fries were beyond salty. The only good think we ate was the appetizer - we ordered a few meats and cheeses. Overall, not a good dining experience, esp when I raved about this place to my out of town guests. For how expensive Wood Tavern, you expect top-notch service and delicious food. I won't be returning here as this left a negative experience.
If you enjoy "elevated comfort food", this maybe your spot.
They have warm rustic atmosphere and excellent service to match. Keep in mind that they mix it up a bit by having different lunch, mid-day, and dinner menus. My suggestion for dinner, try 4 courses, in this order. Cheese plate, Soup/Salad, Main, and Dessert. No suggestions, they are all good, you will love them all :) Also, Don't forget to pair it all up with a super yummy and fresh cocktail.
Fun place with great sandwiches and a cozy environment.
Location is ideal for walking from anywhere in Rockridge.
Wow. I've only once before in my life sent a dish back, but
Wow. I've only once before in my life sent a dish back, but the chicken was inedible--bitter and tasted as if doused in vinegar. Plus, it was WAY overcooked. Very dry. The service was excellent, great waitress, but I won't go back. A few years ago, this was an excellent restaurant, but it's lost its touch.
Wood Tavern offers an enchanting blend of lively ambiance,
Wood Tavern offers an enchanting blend of lively ambiance, cozy atmosphere, and intimate dining that leaves a lasting impression. Despite the slight challenge of finding parking nearby (we were able to find parking within 2 blocks of the restaurant), the journey is undoubtedly worth the culinary delight that awaits inside! I went there to celebrate a friend's birthday and we were not disappointed. We made a reservation a week in advanced and we were promptly seated upon entering. We started off with the Butcher's block which was the perfect sharing size for our party of 5. It came with a variety of cold cuts, jams, and sauces. The highlight of the evening was the ribeye steak that I had for my entree. It was a generous portion size and it was cooked to a perfect medium rare. For dessert we had a citrus cheesecake that had a honey syrup on top. It was tart and not too sweet. Throughout the evening, the attentive service further enhanced the dining experience. This restaurant is a bit pricey (~$40-50 for entree) but the food is definitely worth it and the price is reflective of the food's quality.
Love this place! Great food and great service.
The setting is very pleasant. It's one of my favorite Bay Area restaurants.
Full Bar, Sandwiches, Very Noisy
A noise bomb. This popular place fills up at lunch time, but with nothing in the interior design to muffle the noise, it becomes impossible to hear your dining companions. They have some good sandwiches here, prices are a bit steep,, full bar. Extremely popular.
Good food
I had the fish and chips and a dinner salad with blue cheese salad dressing. The fish was quite tasty. it was super crispy on the outside and flaky white fish inside. they should have skipped the coleslaw. coleslaw was definitely one of those scooped from a vat behind the counter at Safeway varieties. french fries, chips, we're very greasy and soft. The menu described them as rustic. had they've been crispy, I think they would have been good. This would have been a solid four-star review, but the service was a little bit strange. I wouldn't say it was bad service, it was just a little strange. When I ask the server, "how are the fish and chips?" she said with a sort of disgusted looking facial expression, "I don't eat fish." While I do appreciate her honesty, since she's obviously put off by anyone suggesting that she evaluate fish, I think a bit of a rehearsed answer focused more on how other customers perceive the fish and chips might work better in the future. to her answer, I replied, does it sell well, when the customers get it do they tend to like it? she stumbled around with, "oh yeah the fish and chips are really good," but then tried to point it something else on the menu. As for the timing of the food delivery, I ordered the salad as an appetizer. it came out with the fish and chips. The dinner salad definitely met expectations. apparently they usually use a vinaigrette, but they were kind enough to stir in blue cheese salad dressing. The dining room is very nice and apparently there is a considerable size outdoor area. when I walked in I was seated immediately.
Lives up to the hype
A relatively small place and somewhat noisy (or vibrant, depending on your perspective), with tables very near one another. Come here for the food, which was delicious and service is friendly and prompt. The pork chop was outstanding as was the halibut. We enjoyed several cheeses as a starter and had two salads, but one would have been enough to share.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
