During your Oakland vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Juban
This restaurant specializes in Yakiniku, an ancient Japanese grilling technique. The barbecue-style cuisine allows you to cook your choice of meat in the center of your table. Your waiter guides you through the entire process so do not worry about messing up. It is a fun dining experience ideal for families and groups. The restaurant is clean and simple with ultra-modern, metallic decor and a smokeless grill centered on every table. Guests share sauces and help cook each other's meat. The menu features dinner packages filled with assorted meats, vegetables and sauces. Choose from beef short ribs, beef tongue, tiger prawns, calamari, chicken, liver, scallops, lobster and vegetables.
Cafe Jacqueline
The color palatte here is soft and creamy, not entirely unlike the only main or dessert dishes on the menu: souffles. There are delicious house-made soups and simple crisp salads to start with, and to pass the time as your souffle rises to the occasion in the oven. The souffle choices include cheese, garlic and lobster, among others. For dessert, chocolate, strawberry and seasonal specials take center stage. The service is warm and efficient for the upscale clientele here and the wine list has a good selection of imported and domestic vintages.
Great Eastern Restaurant
The ornate Asian-style facade of this place leads to a sleek dining room, accented in deep jade green, laquered black and polished brass. Only the freshest seafood is served in this upscale eatery and the proof is in the fish tanks, where future entrees swim serenely. Perfect preparations for everything that swims include salt bake, sautee, clay pot roasting, stuffing, pan fry, and simple steam. Meat, foul, vegetables and reptiles (do not miss the turtle soup) rendered with equal aplomb.
