Z Cafe & Bar

Love the Martinis, food, service, prices, and the 100 different vodkas on the shelf. Cute bartenders make it fun to sit at the bar and drink. We usually have a cocktail at the bar first, then move to a table for a romantic candle-light dinner. Their Salmon is soooo fresh !!! TOTALLY WORTH IT. Pros: fresh foods, great service, best cocktails Cons: sometimes sold out to large groups, best to make reservations (510)663-2905 more

My wife and I love going to this place. It is in Oakland. Does not look like much from the outside, but once you get in you are in a whole new world. Beautiful ambeience, large glass windows, high ceiling, more than 100 different types of vodka displayed on the top shelves, great music playing in the back ground, friendly staff serving great food and fantastic drinks at such reasonable prices. They do not advertise at all, so you really have to find them yourself. Happy hour is great there. Drinks are wonderful and cheap during happy hour. Love their Ribs, Roast chicken, and fish cakes, my wife loves the Salmon, mussels, and specially this chicken dish called Coq Au Vin. They make this one drink called BLUEBERRY LEMONDROP. It is awsome, blueberries floating inside. The MOJITOS ARE FANTASTIC. Apparently the owner had been a bartender for many years before he opened this place. GO THERE. You will not be dissappointed. Pros: Friendliest staff, Awsome Martinis, great food and great prices Cons: Hard to see it when driving by more

Try the ribs.... they will melt in your mouth. We just love this place. We go at least once a week. Please go when the owner is there. He is a beautiful and kind human being. He has created a beautiful space in an old vintage car dealership....gorgeous! The original wood and tiled floors are perfect. The food is good and getting better. Very friendly place. Super bar..top shelf liquor and generously poured. Fair pricing. Maybe too fair. I'm worried. Pros: Warm and friendly, great ribs, wonderful setting, great owner Cons: a little hard to find...call first more
