Seison - Oakland

Closed despite the posted hours on the window say they should be currently open. Great business model.

This is a hotel restaurant, so I didn't expect much. Unfortunately, I was right. The best thing about this restaurant is the bartender who took my order. She's really funny and nice. She even added a discount that the guests of the hotel get that I didn't know. Thank you because I ordered the garlic parmesan cheese pommes and they were warm and well lubricated. As you can see on the picture, although there is only one lump of cheese on top that had not much taste, seemed a little burned and the whole dish smells a little off/wheat. I love cheese, but this cheese had very little taste and was just a lump that does not spread in any way or break easily to eat it with the frits. Wouldn't order it again and not make sure I would visit this restaurant again.

Good service. Mediocre food. Like eating at Applebee. Menu was completely different from what is online. Options were limited.

Great! You can taste the freshness of the ingredients. Food is definitely worth a trip. Crepes are also made in the house. The Banane Nutella Crepe was sweet and tasty. The croque with ham, egg and cheese was great. melted in my mouth. My girl liked her smoked salmon panini. Only what I didn't like was that they opened a few minutes after their normal opening and we waited what seemed to be ordered forever.

Amazing experience! I was surprised that the dining room was empty after all the praise my friend has been saying about his favorite secret place at the Washington Inn, but the bartender greeted me with a smile and I proceeded to sit in the dining room. The service was out of this world. Not only is the only bartender also the only server, but she also delivers all the room service to the hotel guests. Wow! All while singing and smiling throughout my whole stay. It was entertaining and made me feel very welcomed. She talked to me about all the cocktails she makes and asked what I was in the mood for, then I ordered her signature ginger lemondrop (she makes it with her own homemade ginger syrup that she makes herself)...OMG...DELICIOUS! Exactly what I wanted! She then suggested the Ribeye, as a meal option and I 'm so glad I ordered it. She was so right, it was one of the best steaks I 've ever had! And for only $18?!? I have no idea why this place is not packed every night. I will be coming back.
