Where is the Best Steak in Oakland, California?
This charming European restaurant provided the perfect setting for my son and daughter-in-laws wedding rehearsal dinner. The owners we very helpful and available to me in planning this event. The list of food options for the individualized event menu were extensive providing something for all diners. The wait staff was pleasant and interactive. My only suggestion would be that waiters be a bit more attentive to the tables between courses to be sure guest requests, drink orders etc. are readily addressed. The food was delicious and presented well. Many positive comments about the food by all in attendance. I would recommend Le Bateau Iver to anyone planning a dinner or banquet event.
The heirloom tomato salad would have been really good, save for the bullying visited upon it by a heavy handed truffling. Truffles are great and all, but like saffron, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. The nicoise was simple, rustic and cooked all the way through. Isn’t it supposed to just be seared? The aioli was past its expiry. The Serisin Savignon Blanc was very good. Service was ok. I might give it another try, just to be sure it wasn’t an off night.
