“Walk 10 minutes from MacArthur BART and you’ll find paradise in the form of a wine bar. Zach (head chef) and Emilio (line cook) are formerly of Verjus in San Francisco, and let’s just say we followed them across the bridge for a reason. Their expertise and attention to detail are evident in every bite — or sip! ;) On top of this, the service is impeccable. Our waiter, Nico, was a real gem! Thank God he moved from SoCal! Anyways, don’t take my word for it… you’ll just have to try this place for yourself!”
“super cute spot, not too busy on a weekend evening and had great selection of vegetarian options. the orange and white wines we had were superb, and the use of kumquats throughout may of the dishes added a nice citrusy acidity to it all to cut the grease. definitely get the crudo!”
“This has got to be one of the most underrated restaurants in the Bay if not the state, actually the country! Global dishes with an innovative touch and soulful take. And the owner/chef is a super cool dude. I am recommending this spot to all my foodie friends ;)”

“This has been my absolute favorite restaurant for a few years.. Eating at Snail Bar is like going to a friend’s house and a gourmet chef and sommelier have been hired to serve you. The service is warm and welcoming. The FOOD!! Combines the freshest ingredients in innovative ways that are always beautiful and delicious. The crew runs a tight ship and they have amazing visiting chefs at least once a month for “Homie Night” which is again another amazingly curated meal from the freshest farmer’s market ingredients. Snail Bar is a rare find, an absolute treasure!”
