I thought the French Toast was pretty tasty. While I normally just have pancakes, my serve did me right by suggesting the Brioche French Toast. They do have breakfast "packages" that include coffee. Decide before you order how important that is to you. I sat at a table, was able to relax and observe. Tommy was one of the servers. Great attitude, super helpful, took care of me well; hot coffee, cream & Splenda. Serving Starbucks coffee means it's hot and strong. Not that many places open on a Saturday before 9 am so this turned out to be an excellent option. Located on the 2nd floor, this might be your next stop when you are in the area.

Pretty solid spot for a hotel restaurant. A bit expensive, but the food is decent. Service is good, but there weren't many guests, so I expected nothing less. Decent atmosphere. I just wish the bartenders were a bit more knowledgeable. Had to settle for a martini when the bartender didn't know what a tequila sunshine was...only one of the most popular tequila cocktails. Come on.

I was out running errands and decided to come to this restaurant. When I entered I was greeted by staff and seated immediately. The waiter was friendly and very attentive. I ordered the iron and oak cheeseburger with fries and side salad. The burger was cooked well done. The burger came with house aioli, lettuce, tomato, onion, aged cheddar, pickles, avocado on brioche bun. The burger was delicious and the fries were fresh. The salad was good. Ambiance is very customer friendly.

Always great to have a solid restaurant on site at your hotel. They have some great options. The chicken was cooked ok. Could've been a little better, but was solid and hit the spot. Side salad and extra broccoli kept me on course. The service and attention from my server was impeccable. She did an amazing job and really made me feel welcomed in the spot. This was the type of service every restaurant should provide. Great job.

If you are staying at the Marriott the best part of your stay will be Iron and Oak. The drinks are made to perfection, and are honestly a work of art! My friend had the blue lemon drop which is instagram ready, but do not miss out on the old fashioned! It's one of the best you will ever have and if you request it from bartender Derrick it will arrive in a style unique to San Francisco/Oakland. The drinks are second to only the service from the staff who are educated and make fantastic recommendations. Cheers!

Iron & Oak is the restaurant in the Oakland Marriott City Center. I only stayed in the hotel for one evening and went to the restaurant for breakfast. It was early, and only a few people were there. I was immediately greeted and given coffee (a must for that time of day). As I reviewed the menu, the avocado toast caught my eye. I know it's a cliche today, but it sounded great. (They also have gluten-free bread.) I watched the news on their TV, and the toast was served promptly. It is unique. There was toast, avocado, radishes, green onion, and an egg on each one. I know there was more on the toast, but I don't remember what. All-in-all, the service was great, as was the food. The coffee was also good. And, the price was reasonable for a Marriott Hotel.
