Hey folks, it's Friday and our favorite day of the week on 9th St with an abundance of summer produce from the Old Oakland Farmers Market at its peak. So come on down, do your shopping, and stay for something to eat.

As of this week, really good organic heirloom tomatoes will be in the mix; be sure to add them to your salad, sandwich or burger. We're also adding to our special board with favorites like our fresh corn salad with yellow wax beans, grilled corn with chile butter, grilled prawns, and a panzanella salad perfect for this time of year.

We hope you'll come out for this and more, not only on the weekends, but during the week too. We are open until 8 daily (Mondays until 4) and our garden is a perfect place to enjoy a meal or simply oysters and a glass of wine. Saturdays we serve Brunch 10-3. Take out and delivery is also available. Large group reservations or catering upon request.

Next Up:
