I honestly wish I hadn't been so hungry that I forgot to take photos. We had the Okie burger with fries and afterwards had salted caramel/coffee ice cream in a waffle cone - all delish! The staff was friendly, fun and accommodating. Made my birthday a delicious experience. Thank you. We'll be back!

Lana’s is a great spot in Oakland with a really welcoming vibe. The ambience strikes a nice balance between cozy and stylish, making it perfect for both a relaxed dinner or a casual night out. The food is solid and thoughtfully prepared, with flavors that feel fresh and well-executed. You can tell care goes into the dishes, and everything we tried was enjoyable and satisfying. What really stands out is the staff and ownership. The team is friendly, attentive, and genuinely wants you to have a good experience. The owner is hands-on, warm, and clearly passionate about the restaurant, which adds a personal touch you don’t always get. Overall, Lana’s delivers great energy, good food, and excellent hospitality. Definitely a place I’d recommend and happily return to.

My GF and I went there today. We both got the chicken sammiches and they were AMAZING! Fries were great even though they got cold bu the time we got home (takes out). My GF got the salted caramel ice cream and she said it was super tasty (I was still too full for desert). The man and woman behind the counter were both very, very nice! Will definitely go back!!!

AWESOME. The smash burger with tots cooked in Beef Talo were on Point. The homemade icecream was really good too. The girl behind the counter was so sweat with a 90s swag offering up samples as if she knew people would get hooked! I will def be back the next time im in town!

Had to run over to Oakland for some errands, was hungry for a burger and found this spot. It was excellent. One of the best smash burgers I've had in the east bay for sure. Friendly staff, delicious looking baked goods and ice cream (didn't get), clean and tidy, and just a nice vibe. Will be back.

I love going to Lana’s for ice cream. I am so happy they brought back the Macapuno. It’s so smooth and buttery. The Vietnamese coffee and banana Oreo flavors are also amazing. I tried the burgers once as well -definitely tasty. And the service is always wonderful. I just wish they could open sooner most days rather than just Fridays.

Easily some of the best burgers in the Bay Area. Their smash burgers, especially the Okie Smash are the creme of the crop with the thinnest patties and the laciest crispy edges. Would HIGHLY recommend going here!! Oh also their icecream is great too

I visited during happy hour and had fresh oysters and a flight of wine. Great open space, tasty food, well curated wines and best of all fantastic service. Highly recommended

The airport location doesn’t have its own pinpoint but it’s some of the best customer service at the airport I’ve ever experienced. The Hispanic gentleman with grey spiky hair is super chill.

Look, the food was fantastic and the staff were great. It was so unexpected but the vibe was just right for an evening out coming from DC. No doubt if we are ever in Oakland again, we are going back. We missed out on the pizza but when we come back, for sure we are getting it!

District is a good to for good food and music. Happy hour is a must! The owner, server and bartenders are all friendly. Busy sometimes.

It was my 1st time having brunch and I was pleasantly surprised. The food was tasty and the service, as always, was great

I had an awesome night at District Oakland—definitely one of the better dining experiences I’ve had in a while. We sat at the bar and were lucky to have Teddy taking care of us. He was quick, super friendly, funny, and just had great energy overall. You could tell he actually enjoyed what he was doing, which made the whole vibe that much better. Teddy gave us spot-on recommendations for everything we ordered. The margherita pizza came out perfectly blistered with fresh basil and gooey cheese—simple but done right. The burrata with prosciutto and crostini was rich and flavorful, and the spinach arancini with that tomato sauce might have been the sleeper hit of the night. Everything came out fast, hot, and delicious. Also, gotta say—the Prosecco Teddy recommended was probably the best I’ve ever had. Crisp, refreshing, and way better than anything I’ve been served at most restaurants. Service was on point from start to finish. I’ll definitely be back soon, and I’ll be asking for Teddy again.

Loved the Vibe here! My friend took me out here last Friday night. The music was on point (old school hip hop and R&B)!! This was a mature Adult crowd. My friend ordered the deviled eggs and I had the Ahi Poke! So good! I would definitely recommend going here and would come back again!

A great place to go to have a great time with friends. I went on a Sunday for their brunch and it was amazing. The price is for their brunch is $30 for brunch but if toy want unlimited mimosas that is$40 and worth every penny. The vibe is cool they play great music is to everyone's liking and the food is absolutely AMAZING! So then only thing is bummer is they close early BUT they open back up and it's a club which they charge but it's so worth it! If you want to go to a place to have fun for any occasion.. go to DISTRICT!

Solid smash burger. Only thing keeping it from a 5 is a good house sauce. Highly recommend their ube milkshake. It came out later than expected but the flavors were definitely there.

I’m not the biggest fan of Smashburgers (Give me a fat juicy patty any day), but these are pretty good. The real reason to go here is for the amazing ice cream. If you’ve heard about their banana oreo flavor, it is very much worth the hype. Overall, a local business worth supporting.

Saturday evening, met with a friend for a milestone life event. Good drinks and food, friendly staff. DJ was loud to the level that it was hard to have a conversation, maybe some people prefer that

Camila Hayter

Came for Happy hour and enjoyed the tacos & Marg deal, plus half off oysters and fries which were all so good! We walked in around 530pm and would've liked to hear the music playing just a touch louder, like a chill neo-soul vibe to help unwind from the work day. Felt like we could hear others chatting around us, but other than that it's always a good experience at District. Bar tender was great, food came out quick and hot :) Will be back again soon!

We have been visiting District for many years. We love the crowd and ambiance, and the happy hour generously goes until 7 pm. The 2 for 1 oysters used to be a great deal, but unfortunately on the last 2 visits the quality of the oysters has been poor—creamy instead of briny. Also, $8 for a beer isn’t a great “happy hour” price. They were busy on the last visit but they need to pay attention to quality and value.

Nice vibe in the downtown Oakland area. We came in for dinner on a Saturday evening. The space is dark with high open ceiling and a large U shaped bar that appears to be a big draw. There were a couple good sized parties on one side when we came in. They seated us at one of the high tops on the other side. Seating is pretty equally low tops and high tops here, plus the bar. Our server was ok. Nothing spectacular, but got the job done. We appreciate that in this particular economy, District offers a dinner for 2 for $35 at this time. We had the arugula salad, lamb meatballs, and then a pizza. It was all good but be needed to add another small plate of the arancini to fill us up.

The atmosphere and service were good, and the food wasn't bad.. but they were out of so many things. I ended up not being able have the cocktail or entree that I wanted. I could only eat a few items on the menu due to dietary restrictions, so them being out of multiple things meant I got my 3rd choice, and it was really not what I wanted. It was just odd to be out of so much stuff honestly. I would love to go back again sometime when they have everything, because it did sound/look pretty good.

Sydney Dunn

Great happy hour! Nice selection of $7 appetizers, well cocktails, and wines. We really enjoyed everything on the appetizer menu but probably wouldn't have paid full price for what it was. Large area with tents for covered outdoor seating. We were overcharged for our bill which we didn't look at until after leaving, so make sure to double-check your bill before leaving.

Pilar Johnson

Food is nothing to rave about, small portions for the happy hour snacks, we ordered chicken wings, fried avocado and risotto balls. Our server was friendly, the couch/seating area is very large so I think good for groups but there’s nothing about this place that was worth mentioning or recommending from the 3 hours spent here for happy hour.

First time visiting this restaurant and it will probably be the last. The service just wasn't good tonight. It took forever for a waiter to even come out and take our drink orders and then about 20-30 min to get our drinks. Our food was brought out sporadically with one person in our party not getting her food until we were all ready to go. I ordered the Margherita pizza and it was disappointing. When I finally received my order it was sitting in so much oil that the bread was soggy. So much so that the cheese would just fall off and you could see it sitting on top of the pizza. They also didn't clear up the table of dirty dishes at any point in time I gave it two stars because the other food tasted good.

They were soggy warm no longer hot, usually the fries are given as soon as done in my previous experience They were presented with a huge to go order which made me feel they had already been done and assumed to be a part of a to go order When I asked to eat there The young man was very very very very rude Didn’t give me a receipt even when asked At this point I want my $7.70 returned I And I will no longer patron this place The quality of food has went down a lot anyway From the cookies and Ice Cream Never had the butter was told it’s nice???? I enjoyed your fries hot crispy golden these were even unattractive dark anyway “John”, the name he gave represented this establishment as gross

This guy yelled “don’t touch things that aren’t yours before you get deported” to a young lady in front of her two children. She was walking down the street when she saw a lime on the floor and picked it up. Is this what DISTRICT stand for? I used to love coming here but there’s no way I am supporting a business that stands for this. Also, in the picture those floors are looking extremely dirty and not hygienic I wonder how’s the rest of the kitchen. His apron is also disgusting … please don’t tell me he is a cook and uses that. Okay… I am def not going back not only for the comment. And did he wash the lime he threw on the dirty sidewalk? Hmmmm…

On Halloween night, I left my tab open at District. I’ve been a bartender, so I understand the risk of leaving without closing out. The tip can end up more than generous. But what shocked me was a subsequent charge for Chinese food from a neighboring restaurant. When I returned to collect my card, it was handed back to me, meaning the card was in their possession when the charges occurred. This wasn’t a lost or stolen card—it appears it was used by District staff for personal purchases at 2am. I calmly explained to the bartender. He went to the manager who then left me waiting. When he finally walked over to me, he said my card was given to someone else, they ran that person’s charge on my card, and then that person returned later with my card. At one point he said she said she charged something on it, but then backtracked saying he didn’t know if she used it. There was no reversal of charges, no note with my card, and frankly his story doesn’t add up. When I expressed doubt, this manager erupted in anger and walked away. My money was stolen and yet, he is angrier than me? I followed and said as much to him. He insisted on his “integrity and credibility” while gaslighting me. He finally said he would “make this right” , gave me a personal gmail address—not a District email address— and told me to email him. I did. It’s been a week, and he’s never replied. Is his story a cover up? You decide. I’ve always defended Oakland against unfair criticism, but when local businesses abuse customers like this, it’s disheartening and unacceptable.
