Somerset is a great place for lunch. They have excellent salads and sandwiches for a reasonable price. There is a full bar and there is a nice dinner menu. I've only gone for lunch. There is also an outside eating area which is nice. This is a great place for conversation and the service is fast. I like it much...

As a long-time Oakland resident and frequent luncher-outer, Somerset has become my "go-to" restaurant for both social and business lunches. Their outdoor patio is one of the prettiest spots you can imagine, particularly when the wisteria is in bloom ((April/May/June). This is an unpretentious spot with impeccable service and top-notch food - white tablecloths but no attitude. The menu has...
