Iron Oak - Oakland

James, our server, was outstanding at this restaurant. He was kind, courteous, and very attentive. Unfortunately, the food left much to be desired. The steak frites entrée was overcooked, and the chicken entrée was just acceptable. The zitrusbombe was overwhelmingly flavored with grapefruit. My Amaretto sour was fine, but overall, we wouldn't choose to eat here again.

This is a hotel restaurant. Not like a nice one like a one step above continental breakfast one.

We absolutely loved our waiter! He was professional, friendly, and very accommodating (I just wish I had remembered his name). We were a bit surprised to find the restaurant located inside the Marriott, which left us feeling a little disappointed at first. However, the food was decent, and the wine was quite good. The wonderful service from our waiter really enhanced our experience!

The cheeseburger and fries were very good, and the kale and quinoa salad was excellent. However, the shrimp tacos were disappointing—they lacked flavor and felt overpriced. The staff was friendly, though they seemed a bit overwhelmed. The setting was comfortable, and the location was convenient since we attended an event on the 5th floor. Parking was in front of the garage, and after four hours, it cost $30. I suppose the hotels need to reserve space for their guests and renters.

This is a hotel restaurant and your reservation really isn’t a ‘saved table’ even tho they confirm with you the day before. Got there and they said they didn’t have a reservation and it was open seating. Luckily it wasn’t crowded and there was a table for 7 people. Had 15 min before closing so waitress was nice and rushed to get our order submitted in time. Waitress was very friendly and helpful in helping us save costs with drinks for our table. Some had drinks included with their breakfast and some didn’t.
