Food Scene
Here are some of our favorite places to eat out in Oakland and San Francisco.
Funky fresh place with yummy Thai food. Closest in distance to the Airbnb. Best to go in person as they sometimes don’t answer the phone to order take out.

Cool location and great food. They make their own sausages and all dishes are fresh. I’m addicted to their tarter sauce which is also made in-house and usually order extra. Great beer selection and outdoor seating or an indoor view of the Bay and the boats.

Perfect location in San Francisco right on the Embarcadero with an awesome view of the Bay Bridge. Great during the day but spectacular at night when the bridge is lit up. Good food and cocktails. Fun bar.

A great way to get into SF from Oakland without driving is to take the ferry. It departs from a few locations but I recommend taking it from Jack London Square. Park in the nearby parking garage and walk right up to the terminal. I think they even validate parking during certain days/ times so ask about it. Arrive at the Ferry Building in SF and you are in the perfect spot to start your tour of the city.
