During your Oakland vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Bonta
It is always a joy to find a restaurant that offers consistently delicious food in a comfortable setting for low prices. No wonder then that people have begun flocking to this tiny Roman-style eatery in the Marina. Appetizers (or antipasto according to the menu) include such favorites as Mozzarella Caprese and Carpaccio). Entrees are authentic Italian favorites such as Pollo al Porcini (chicken with mushrooms,) and Lombata Di Vitello (grilled veal chops). The service is terrific.
Diamond Corner Cafe
Its no-frills dining here but with good service and straightforward menu that make this a great stop for a light afternoon meal or a hearty breakfast. Diners can sit indoors or enjoy their food in the fresh air as they sit at one of the outdoor tables. The clientele is the usual mix of the Noe Valley residents, from older retirees to young couples with families. Pasta and chicken pot pie are a few of the lunch and dinner items. The brunch menu is smattering of pancakes, french toast, and omelets.
Zuni
People watch and indulge in the fabulous dining at this San Francisco favorite. Known equally well for its affluent clientele and its Oven-Roasted Chicken, this Civic Center hot spot is worth the wait to be seated. Dinner entrees average $25, though specials are a bit more pricey. If you are not enamored with the dinner scene, try visiting late mornings or early afternoons when you can sip a latte and watch the fog lift.
Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the
Oakland area, including:
Radisson Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf
Surprisingly, Fisherman's Wharf has only one bay-front hotel and this is it. It resides in the heart of the action of the Wharf and is within walking distance of great shopping and dining establishments and attractions like Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square, The Cannery, and North Beach. The hotel faces out onto Alcatraz and you can see it from many of the guest rooms.
Marina Motel
This quaint Marina District motel has a beautiful garden courtyard and an interesting history. Family-owned and operated, it was one of the first hotels designed for motorists in the 1930s, completed just in time for the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge. It still retains the look and feel of that era. Each guest gets a private parking space, which is a premium luxury in San Francisco. Otherwise, it offers fewer amenities than the large hotels but it is charming, clean and affordable. Conveniently located near Fisherman's Wharf, it has been celebrated by an array of national publications including Sunset magazine.
Mandarin Oriental
Enjoy panoramic views of The City by the Bay from one of the plush guest rooms of this gorgeous downtown hotel. The elegant and luxurious Mandarin occupies the top 11 floors of one of San Francisco's tallest buildings, and the accommodations are, likewise, close to heavenly. Encased in twin steel and glass towers, the rooms offer top-notch facilities. Guests can enjoy the private library, as well as two outstanding restaurants, Silks and the Mandarin Lounge.
