Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles! Its not part of the Square development, but its nearby. The dishes aren't chicken, or waffles, but chicken _and_ waffles. Good collard greens too. -lenny Paul C. wrote: >First, How do you get there from the city, and Second, what's worth trying >(food wise) in that neighborhood? >Paul > > >"I came to Casablanca for the waters." >"But we're in the middle of the desert." >"I was misinformed." >1942 > > > >

Kincaids is my favorite restaurant at Jack London Square. And they have a nice brunch on Sundays - although brunch no longer comes with champagne :( Jeneen >Second, I've heard Pescatore was good, but I haven't eaten >there yet.

Some of the best sauces I've ever had, one on a fish thing and one on a meat thing; interesting but not outlandish combinations; artsy/interesting decor. I've been looking forward to going back there for a while, it's just a bit out of the way for me. yum, Andrea

Forgot the name, but they have > asian inspired French food (I guess). > > - Bryan > gros <at> bigfoot.com That would be Le Cheval. Vietnamese, actually. The French influence is very strong, but the flavors and presentation are definitely Vietnamese. We tried the 5 course seafood dinner - requires 2 to order and share this, $15.75/person, but includes a $6/person credit towards wine. Good variety of flavors, from sour to hot to sweet. Worth a try if you like seafood. Otherwise, there's a 7 course beef dinner at $20.95/person (? - somewhere around there. Not really sure now.), also with a minimum of 2. Or, the usual soups, noodles, and other dishes are available ala carte. Albert
Over the bay bridge, head for downtown Oakland, take 12th St exit (sign posted for Alameda and Jack London Sq.), keep going straight until you hit 3rd St then go left, go right on Broadway and there's plenty of parking. Eating: My wife likes Kincaids, Scotts is also very good for seafood, although pricey. Plenty of other chain food places for typical American fare. I like the Oakland Grill, in the produce district a couple of blocks towards Oakland downtown from the square, it's kind of funky and it used to be the best place to be when the trains ran down 3rd St but they don't do that anymore unfortunately. Also Happy Belly Deli in the Jack London Village has the best rotisserie chicken sandwiches in the world. Yoshis, in the square just underneath the parking garage, has good Japanese food and great jazz. Jack London Sq has a big farmers market on Sunday mornings so plenty of stuff happening around then although not many places that do a good breakfast.
