Grand Lake Kitchen - Dimond

The first restaurant we planned to go to was fully booked, so we searched on Google Maps and found Grand Lake Kitchen — and we’re so glad we did! Parking was a bit of a challenge, but once inside, we loved the spacious setup and the lively vibe. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and gave great food recommendations. The Fried Chicken was especially delicious — crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Everything we ordered tasted amazing, and the staff made the experience even better with their warm service. Highly recommend this place to everyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere!

Excellent from start to finish. A very friendly bartender welcomed us and took our drink order. When our table for 8 was ready we were seated and serviced with excellence through the whole meal. I can not say enough for the amazing service staff. Food was equally excellent! It was a special family event , made even more special by a special staff. A group picture was taken at the end by the bartender to remember our night. Many thanks ! This group definitely knew how to take care of their customers.

Have eaten at Grand Ave location several times and loved it. This was our first visit to the Dimond location. Food was excellent, service was so-so. We had a much longer wait for food than expected. The best deal on the menu was the Fried Half Chicken, which came with 2 large sides. I split this with my daughter, but it could easily have fed 3 people. The side dishes, especially Cauliflower salad, were fantastic as expected. My wife had a great lamb sausage and polenta. She said it was fabulous. The grands had the French toast and loved it...the side of peachs was excellent. My son in law had the turkey sandwich...his go to. It had lots of meat and cranberry spread on it. This location is roomy and comfortable. Would 100 % recommend.

This is my go-to place for group events in Oakland. I hosted a brunch here in honor of a bride. Everyone enjoyed the excellent food and the private dining room. I appreciated how helpful the event coordinator was, including at minimizing my costs. I also hosted a 10-person business lunch, which everyone enjoyed. The variety of food satisfied everyone's dietary needs. The mini doughuts make a great group dessert.

Been here a few times usually just for food to go and just stick to the same things. Very chill, not to uptight. I finally had a night to hang out and decided to dine in and try out a couple of dishes. (We sat outside which was nice eat and people watch) Sadly I wasn't to happy with the food. But the drinks👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 ( can't tell you what I got because it was a off menu special 😁) but I've had a few different beverages and they all have been great. Now food for me all the sandwiches don't disappoint (veggie, yadi, beef burger) And the donuts are cooked to order and are amazing. However all the entrees I feel all needed to just be cooked longer. Overall still great, and would definitely go back.
