I've got a new favorite restaurant in Oakland -- it's B Restaurant. Tracy and I have been there a few times now, and it hits the spot every time. The ambiance is great, and its situated in Old Town Oakland (9th Street between Clay and Broadway), which is urban without being ghetto.
- Truffle Fries $6
- Perfectly fried potatoes tossed with parsley and truffle oil.
- P.E.I. Mussels - bacon, smoked gouda broth, rosemary foccacia $14
- The idea of a smoked gouda broth sounds odd, but is super tasty without being heavy.
- Lamb Sugo - braised lamb, mostaccioli pasta, carrots, onions, tomatoes, ricotta salata $12 small/ $19 large
- I love saucy braised meats, and this hits the spot every time. The thick chewy pasta complements the texture of the chunks of lamb.
They also have some pretty good wood-fired pizzas which we've had a couple times. The host, bartender and wait staff are all very professional, personal, and inviting. So come check it out for dinner some time soon. They're only open for dinner.
UPDATE: I just bought three $40 gift certificates on Living Social, for only $20 each, so we'll be going there several more times for sure.
