Mediocre food, high price, flagrant use of cheater pints
Mediocre food, high price, flagrant use of cheater pints for $10 drafts, can't imagine how they cut corners elsewhere. Apparently able to fool their seemingly regular patronage of yuppies without taste and no industry experience. For a better experience, seek everywhere else.

I visited this spot with a couple of friends for brunch, and I was not disappointed. We sat by the window, which opened up to the street and gave us the perfect view of the street and others walking by. This adds to the charm and ambiance of this place. Our waiter was friendly and took our order promptly. I ordered the chicken and churros. The churros were the right amount of fluff and crisp. The coating wasn't too much breading, and the buttermilk syrup wasn't too sweet. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and was a perfect balance to the churros. This was a good food choice for brunch because the portion was perfect for the occasion. I would definitely recommend this dish to anyone who is curious. I will definitely have this when I visit this establishment again.

Be the first to ReplyBeen going here for years.
The new management / ownership is phenomenal. The place is still the same yet somehow a little better. The chicken and churros brunch is absolutely the best meal I've ever had and continues to be my #1 fried chicken experience.
Be the first to ReplyI decided to bring my partner to this place after hearing
I decided to bring my partner to this place after hearing many great reviews. However upon entering (Suresh - the owner) asked my partner " DoorDash" implying my partner was there to pick up an order. Not only is that insulting, there was no regard or question to see if she had a reservation, which we did. Furthermore, we were seated and waited 35 minutes to receive our drinks in which our server did not check on us for that total of time. It then took another 25 minutes until we received our food, which was subpar, for such a long wait. Additionally, the churros tasted like pancakes in the shape of churros. The ambiance seems to be welcoming until you're getting below average service. Please treat every person who walks through the door like a customer until you know otherwise. Insulting your customers who look forward to being in your space is such a disappointing experience. It is truly unfortunate we could not have a better experience. While I'm sure this will not phase the restaurant, I hope any future customer particular, people of color and LGBT customerswill look and consider this review.

Went here for brunch and upon entering I was already discriminated against, still decided to follow through with the reservation because maybe it was just the one person. Unfortunately, it wasn't just him, the service was mediocre. All tables around us were being catered to, while we waited over 30 minutes just for our juices, I do understand it was a busy time but tables that arrived after us received their drinks way before us. It came down to the point we had to ask our server about the drinks. Another 25 minutes or so after that, we finally received our meals. The food was decent but not worth the price or wait. Overall, the ambiance is weird, I don't recommend this place at all, there's definitely better food spots in the area.
Be the first to ReplyThe food was okay.
I had scrambled egg whites and fruit. I have food allergies and restaurants tend to not cater to our needs. The setting however was very nice.

One of my go to restaurants for local dinner, brunch or just a few small plates. They make a variety of traditional and new-fangled classics.

Delicious dinner before a movie, lovely service, great happy hour menu. Of course it all looked so good we way over ordered, but everything was delicious.
Be the first to ReplyI have never had a dish here that I didn't love.
Their small bites are delicious, especially the jamon croquetas and papas bravas. Their fried chicken is a staple and the sauce and herbs give it a unique Mediterranean taste. The Nero paella looks beautiful and the flavors are well balanced. For dessert, get the churros. Their cocktails have unique flavors and are delicious. It is a great date spot, overall 10/10.

Shakewell is an excellent restaurant in the heart of the Lakeshore area of Oakland. Wonderful ambiance and attentive service. The food is great with several signature dishes you can count on being consistently excellent. Among them are the paella, the fried chicken, papas brava, and the churros. Each of these has its own special twist that makes the experience even better for foodies: paella with a sublime aioli with an option fir vegetarians; fried chicken with Calabrian chili's and zafar, and crispy exterior with pillowy soft interior churros. As if that wasn't sufficient, the churros come with either a rich buttermilk maple syrup of deep dark chocolate sauce for dipping. The bar serves classic and inventive cocktails that do not disappoint! Couple all of this with friendly service, pleasant music, and you've got a terrific weekday spot for dinner. The weekend brunch is something altogether wonderful with hearty dishes that are creative and delicious. Shakewell is truly a gem in Oakland, a place for local couples, out of town guests to impress, and families. If you haven't tried this place, run here. If you haven't been here for a while, come back. I love this place!
Be the first to ReplyMy husband and I have been coming here for about 2 years
My husband and I have been coming here for about 2 years now and it's been one of our favorite date night spots since. The staff are relatively all friendly and no complaints about service. We always get the paella and churros (hands down the *best* churros we've ever had), and the occasional cocktails (which are equally great). They're very dog friendly if you're sitting outdoors in their parklet and I just can't recommend this place enough!

My sister and I had the best Sunday brunch at Shakewell's -- we got to sit at the two top right by the front windows, the sun was shining, and the food delicious. Highly recommend!
Be the first to ReplyI'm so happy I was finally able to try this place! I live
I'm so happy I was finally able to try this place! I live in the area and have always wanted to stop here. I came here for a late brunch on a Saturday around 1:30 pm. We are able to get seated quickly with a party of 2. Super cute inside! Host was very friendly and our server was awesome. I ordered the cocktail with mezcal. It was 8/10. For my entree I had the Dungeness crab soft scramble with a side of bacon. It was 10/10! I cannot wait to come back here and try their dinner menu.

We tried the fried chicken and it was bad like how did u even go wrong with friends chicken?.The service was good but food was disgusting. One of the guy asked me if something was wrong when I asked for bill. Bro taste the food!!!!
Be the first to ReplyMade a reservation for brunch and thought the patio would
Made a reservation for brunch and thought the patio would be lovely... except the weekend was FRIGID! Luckily they were able to accommodate us inside! Phew!Great service with staff checking in with us every so often to make sure our water glasses were filled and that everything was okay.So many things looked good that we decided to share instead of us all getting chicken and churros. Chicken and churros: A must order. Old bay-esque seasoning on the chicken and some of the most delicious churros I've ever had at a restaurant. Crunchy on the outside, light and fluffy in the inside, and the caramel sauce is just the chef's kiss.Chicharron nachos was exactly like you'd expect. Probably not the healthiest option and you can't eat a ton but it was tasty with the guacamole and bacon.Paella: I loved the flavor but thought it was a little undercooked. All in all, another place to recommend to my friends.
Be the first to ReplyNice place! Great service! Came here to get some cocktails
Nice place! Great service! Came here to get some cocktails and loved every single one. Their papas bravas is a must! I thought it would be just regular potatoes or fries but the sauces and seasonings makes it soooo good!
Be the first to ReplyAn old favorite in the neighborhood.
We find ourselves coming back over and over again. Excellent food, chic vibe, fantastic drinks.
Be the first to ReplyWe stopped in with some friends to try out Shakewell's
We stopped in with some friends to try out Shakewell's brunch. We didn't have reservations, just walked in on a Saturday around noon. We were seated outside as we preferred. Our waiter came shortly to take our orders. We tried the French toast, Chicken & Churros, bacon, avocado, and two old fashioned. Everything was good, fresh. The French toast was huge, like 2 servings huge! I could only eat one. The churros were perfection! They were crispy and light with a moderate amount of sugar. Overall, service and food were great, but we felt nausea a few hours later. Our friends were fine though. Still would love to come back and try the dinner menu!

Food wasn't good, very cold outside with no heaters, wait staff was serving pets and people (possible health violation), and ambiance was mehGood luck
Be the first to ReplySecond time I ate here and the food does not disappoint.
A delightful meal. Paying the check was not.The server came by and I asked for the check. She brought out her electronic machine and asked for my credit card. No bill showing my meal was presented first and I had no idea of the amount I was paying for. When I asked she flipped the screen my way sowing the total. Then said do you want a paper receipt?What I expect when paying around $300 w a tip is a printout showing our order before asking for a credit card. A proper way of asking for services rendered in a restaurant. I was treating a friend to a celebratory meal and decided to let it drop. Next time, if I return, I will not.
Be the first to Replyi used to really like this restaurant.
it is unfortunate that their host openly discriminates. when i gently pointed out this to the host, he suggested that because he has been discriminated against in the past, it was impossible for him to do the same (which is ridiculous). the notion that anyone still has to deal with bigotry like this is disconcerting. i can not and will not support a business that operates out of fear instead of with unity and respect.
Be the first to ReplyLet's start with the food.
Churros are different from any I've ever had. Does that make them better? Unique and light, yes, but better? No way. Moroccan spiced chicken' is...not very well spiced. And the price for a bowl of cooked rice and chicken (otherwise know as vegetarian paella with chicken added)? $40? Yikes. And to top it off, apparently Shakewell thinks that it is more important than the other restaurants who are dropping vaccination requirements. They require vaccinations for both indoor and outdoor (!!!) dining. Haha. Way to follow the science, guys!
Be the first to ReplyFood and ambience was great! Service was also amazing.
Get the papas bravas or churros and chicken. You can also put tequila agua fresca.
Be the first to ReplyI love this place! Tim is the sweetest.
The food is delicious. The shrimp and grits on the weekend are to die for. They also do top notch cocktails which are available for takeout too. Chef's kiss! This place is a treasure.
