Plum Bar + Restaurant Oakland

A lovely space, very calm. You come and get to eat small plates and have lovely drinks for an hour and a half before they have to turn your table (they do give a friendly fifteen minute warning). Everything was very tasty.

Everyone from the hostess to the server was very friendly at this place! Love the interior decorations! I was really intrigued by the Asian inspired desserts and drinks and glad we stopped by after dinner. I believe this place is first come first serve. We got our names down and must have been lucky because we were seated within 15 minutes. This place is really easy to order. You scan the QR code and order on your phone and your server brings your order out. Be aware though, around 8:30PM on a Saturday night and a few items were already sold out. My drink was a Tiger Boy - very very umami. It had shiitake in it (I think it was shiitake water, or that's what it tasted like). It came in a cute little glass tiger where they pour it over a clear block of ice. Presentation and concept was good, but the only thing I remember was how overpowering the shiitake flavor was. The White Rabbit cocktail was subtle. Could not really taste the white rabbit flavoring at all. The Escape to Guava Island had potential as well, but no guava taste with each sip. The desserts were impressively decorate, but the taste was a solid okay as well. Great place overall to explore maybe once or twice, but nothing more than that for me personally.
