Super good food, but this place often has a line, so write your name on the list and get a drink at Barlata just down the block while you wait.

According to some people, the best fried chicken sandwiches in the East Bay. They have strange hours so check before you head out the door.

This is where I proposed to my wife ;) We go back a few times a year - pricey but not ridiculous. Treat yourself to a nice dinner while you're staying with us - you can't go wrong with the mussels (I don't even like mussels, and I like theirs) or any of their flatbreads. Or anything, really. The place is great.
