This is a great lunch place for us non-students working in Oakland. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service, which now includes cleaning off tables, is friendly and nonchalant. Plus, you can always check out the museum store for gift ideas.
The food is okay. It can be hit or miss. The crab sandwich I had recently was exactly what I was looking for that day, and I really enjoy their broccoli/bacon side dish. However, their weekly quiche is on the dry side and sometimes the salads are a bit of a let down.
I'll definitely be back it's always a solid option.
