Slug — Restaurant in Oakland

So delighted that this place exists! I am a huge snail bar fan so when I heard this place was in the works I couldn’t wait to try it to see how it compares. Went here on opening night and loved everything I got. I highly recommend the scallop crudo, the oysters, the cucumber salad, the toffee pudding, and even just the bread and butter! All of it was outstanding and almost too beautiful to eat. The vibe was great, from the flowers, to the paintings, to the disco ball, and the moody lighting…not to mention the live music that turned the whole place into a party! it created a really enjoyable environment. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and I found they did a phenomenal job handling the opening with the amount of people that came. The only thing I would mention is currently it is first come first serve seating, so keep that in mind because you need to have a table to order food. Anyways, huge fan and I can’t wait to come back...

The pork sando was also really good (didn’t measure up to the shrimpy but still delish) great crunch + loved the slightly sweet slaw. Slightly dry in the middle of the pork but still hit my tum well, loved the experience

Had the Le Mole orange wine from Italy and it complemented everything so well, would get a hole bottle of it

Also really fun corner location with nice views of the plaza and lots of light and energy in there. I want to come back for all the DJ...

Excellent food! Inventive menu showcasing ingredients you won’t find at other restaurants. The vibe is great, the natty wine is super drinkable and complements the entire food menu. Get here early, eat and drink, and stay late for the DJ. Great addition to the...
