On my most recent trip to San Fran I decided to spend one day in the city of Oakland.

---

---

I wanted to explore the city, take a tour and have some Brunch afterwards.

---

So I decided to have Brunch at Oeste Kitchen and Bar an multi-cultural women owned business.

---

---

We offer exemplary dishes by focusing on fresh, organic and sustainably farmed California ingredients, where we’ll fuse our family’s Latino recipes with Southern flavors and techniques.

---

I had a 3:00p Saturday afternoon reservation for Brunch with the girls.

---

When you first walk in there is a bar, the seating area and some stairs in the back which lead to their rooftop.

---

At Oeste, we are committed to providing a warm, inviting and inclusive atmosphere, offering wonderful food for the soul and pouring the highest quality spirits, wines and beers. 

---

---

---

I really liked the decor and aesthetics of this restaurant.

---

The restaurant was not very crowded when we arrived, there was plenty of seating available.

---

---

Now lets talk food.

---

First we started off with some of their signature Brunch cocktails.

---

---

Henny Espresso-Hennessy, Mr Black Coffee Liquor, Frangelico

Oeste Haze-El Silencio Mezcal, Lime, Ginger, Agave

Purple Dahlia-Dahlia Cristalino Reposado, Lemon, Agave,
Sauvignon Blanc, Butterfly Pea Tincture

---

I had the Henny Espresso it was very good and strong.

There was a nice balance of the coffee liquor and Hennessy.

---

---

After that we ordered two portions of their country styled potatoes for the table to share.

---

The potatoes were good and tasty but nothing to exciting.

---

---

Last but not least we have the entree which was their Cheesy Shrimp & Grits.

Which on this extremely rare occasion everyone ordered the same Brunch dish.

---

---

C H E E S Y S H R I M P & G R I T S

Wild caught Georgia shrimp, creamy grits
Add crumbled bacon $3

---

All in all we enjoyed the cheesy shrimp & grits dish.

Conversely If I was to ever visit Oeste again I would try something different.

Although this dish was good it definitely lacked a bit of flavor.

---

To sum things up I really loved this space and the vibe here.

I would love to go back for dinner or even their Happy Hour!
