"Shakewell, Grand Lake Lake Merritt by Huge. Executive Chef Jen Biesty and General Manager Tim Nugent have created an incredible restaurant in the heart of Oakland. Shakewell's menu focuses on Mediterranean flavors with unique twists, like the chili chocolate braised short rib and the Serrano ham with persimmons and honey hazelnuts. Attention is clearly paid to the service as it is reliably warm and friendly."
