With its Mediterranean climate, the Bay Area has plenty of outdoor options, whether it be a patio garden, rooftop or duck-filled lakefront. Here are 10 new restaurants to enjoy that scene from Half…
High 5ive, the new bar and lounge atop the Kissel Uptown Oakland hotel, offers city views, Sunday brunch and light bites and drinks Wednesdays to Saturdays. This stylish, indoor-outdoor bar — it’s more bar than restaurant, although they do offer evening bites and a small brunch menu — is perched atop the swanky Kissel Uptown Oakland hotel. High 5ive’s beverage program includes 10 craft cocktails, 14 wines by the glass and bottle and nine local draft beers.
Roger, the restaurant at the Ameswell hotel in Mountain View, offers spacious, airy seating indoors that leads to an equally spacious patio that is stocked with cornhole and other games for diners to play. This hotel, inspired by the historic NASA Ames / Moffett airfield nearby, sports a restaurant with a name drawn from the military phonetic alphabet, as in Roger for message received. Cool art and architectural touches abound.
There are no books or microfiche readers at Study Hall, cheekily named for its proximity to UC Berkeley. What there is, is a view. Plopped on the 12th floor of the new Residence Inn in Berkeley, the lounge offers panoramic bay views to enjoy with cocktails, 12 tap beers and Oceana-inspired cuisine. You’ll pay a bit more as it’s a hotel operation, but it’s worth it to soak in the atmosphere and watch seagulls glide below.
A muralist’s massive cat looks out over the Shepherd & Sims patio at the restaurant in the city named for cats, Los Gatos. Longtime South Bay restaurateurs Jim Stump and Angelique Shepherd — owners of The Table, Forthright, Vesper, Lamella Tavern — added this large, contemporary space to their culinary portfolio last fall. It was actually a return to Los Gatos for Stump, who had been executive chef of the Los Gatos Brewing Co. back in 1992.
Lozelle King and Iyanna Ford raise a glass in the garden area of Lovely Day restaurant in Oakland. Located in a former street car building, the restaurant opened on MLK Jr. Way in 2021. Run by Grace Street Catering, the same people behind the temporarily shuttered Cafe Zellerbach in Berkeley, this slightly hidden restaurant offers elevated dining in a North Oakland neighborhood not typically known for it.
