Le Cheval (Vietnamese, nicest i've seen, not sayin' that much) in Oakland, or Yoshi's (Japanese, decent food) or Kincaids (Seafood, closer to ~$30) in Jack London Square. Some people like Old Spaghetti Factory in Jack London too, I don't. Actually, I don't REALLY like any of 'em but they're decent for ~$20.
There're a few other nice restaurants there I haven't been to. I wouldn't recommend most of the others. These places aren't as nice, and the food probably isn't as good as the ones I listed in SF, but Jack London Square is probably one of the nicest parts of Oakland.
Decent J-food elsewhere in Oakland: Uzen, Tachibana (sit at the bar), Kirala (in Berkeley but deserves a mention).
Honestly, I'd go to Zachary's in Oakland, (near Berkeley), not fancy, but the loud, busy, trendy atmosphere and good food definitely makes up for it. Best deep dish pizza I've ever had, bar none. Split one, and chicks'll go fer 'em cuz they ain't greasy. Won't look like yer trying too hard to impress her either. Haha, if you just wanna know where to do some serious grubbin' or if you want pricier places, lmk.
Computers are just a hobby, my passion is food.
