High 5ive Rooftop Bar — Restaurant in Oakland

We had a great time celebrating my gf birthday here for brunch. We were a party of 20. The host Peter was incredible. He really made our party comfortable. I took a break from drinking for 90 day and that day was day 90. I was excited to have my first drink and noticed they had a local beer that I love Oak Town Brown (its a delicious stout). Anyway, their beers on tap were not working unfortunately, but when I told Peter how excited I was to have an Oak Town Brown as my first drink back. He went out of his way to make it happen. I was impressed and grateful. The rest of the wait staff was great too. Jacqueline was our server, and she was great, offering to take our group pictures and checking on us regularly. I would definitely recommend this place for any group size. Definitely make a reservation. The food was tasty. We had the avacado toast and the shirmp and grits. I wouldn't recommend the avacado toast simply because of the portion size for the price. But it was tasty. They shrimp and grits was a better portion size...

I went afterwork on a Friday about 30 minutes after they opened and let's just say I was there for about 20mins waiting on my drink. Then the waiter came back with card, to inform me that the entire wifi system doesn't work and we can't order anything else. They bought a glass of champagne around and told us we have to leave, let me mention that about 3 tables were charged, including me for my first drink before the system went down.

The place looks great and the hostess is welcoming, however they are lacking organization and management . One staff member told me they don't have a manager, they quit like 2 weeks ago. They've been through about 3 since they have opened up in February. Also Pablo is very rude, he is the person who is telling customers that he's the manager but he's a bartender. Overall save your time and money just...

Beautiful space that could be really cool, but pretty disappointing currently. Arrived around 6:30 on a Friday night with a reservation; only 6 tables occupied (3 inside, 3 outside), but 4 people working the room plus 2 bar tenders. It still took 30 minutes to get our drinks! All the dishes we ordered were all brought to our table long before any of the drinks arrived. Even more disappointing, the food wasn’t very good and the drinks were way too sweet, though nobody ever bothered to ask how it was. Service was extremely lackluster; people more concerned with staring at their digital screens than actually looking at the guests. The staff and their indifferent attitudes seemed to suck what little energy the place had right out of the room. We couldn’t wait to pay the bill...
