Did you know that the Tribune tower also has a restaurant? Next to the famous Tribune building, Tribune Restaurant is located in downtown Oakland in California. For those who don’t know, the Oakland Tribune is a newspaper company and they produce in a famous 22 story building and is over 300ft tall overlooking Oakland. The Tribune tower was built in 1923 and is known today as the 11th largest building in Oakland, CA. Next to the tower, the Tribune restaurant is a modern contemporary restaurant that serves elevated American cuisine . I believe it’s one of the best restaurant in Oakland, CA that is clean, modern, and beautiful and not only the decorations, but also the food and the cocktails. The restaurant even has two beautiful mural walls that they have painted and it’s honestly beautiful. They even have a live jazz band on Sundays playing at their restaurant.

Now for the dishes! I have to say, all of the dishes I got to taste were upscale, beautiful, and seasoning was on point. The dish I was very surprised of was thsir Winter endive Caesar salad. The reason why I was surprised in a good way was because the salad actually had height to it. I see many salads that are plain and flat. The Caesar salad (photo on the bottom) had that height and of course, it tasted very well. I loved how the salad was not over dressed and how the breadcrumbs were sprinkled on top of the salad. Definitely the salad was not soggy and I loved the texture of the salad in general. My favorite dish was the root vegetables because the way they roasted them was perfect! When you take that bite, it’s just the perfect bite of the roasted flavors and textures you get! It’s definitely delicious! I also loved their potato leek bisque soup! Not only it looks so pretty, but the aroma flavor with the pomegranate seeds you get are perfect! The soup is nice and thick and not too loose! Did you also know they have cocktails as well? I don’t drink but aren’t the cocktails pretty? Make sure you get some cocktails too!
Overall, the food and the environment was amazing and this was a great experience for me! Thank you Tribune for a great dinner because everything looked and tasted on point. I am definitely coming back and I would definitely recommend to come to this restaurant in Oakland if you haven’t already.
