Reviews for Millennium in Oakland, CA
Tomato salad - had more going on than I expected / more sweetness and spice, but overall the flavors worked pretty well together... and I liked it. Mushrooms and stuff with tomato sauce - the tomato cream sauce was very good. And the mushrooms and potatoeswere cooked to a degree of crustiness and dryness that worked really well with the sauce. I liked this dish a lot. Read more
The food is good and the flavors are very well paired. We enjoyed the mushroom dish, the burger, and the pesto pasta. But... overall the did was mushy and lacked textures and crunchiness and variety. The restaurant was very dusty and you could seecobwebs everywhere, deep layers of dust on the support beams near the benches. The bathrooms smelled dingy. The wait staff wasvery pleasant and the highlight of our experience. Read more
I remember coming here before COVID and the menu being better. Maybe we got unlucky with the summer menu options this time... around, but we found the flavors to not be very well balanced and that everything was a bit too sweet. We do love thateverything is entirely plant-based, so we hope to give this place another chance in the future with different menu options! Read more
Nice restaurant, great service at the bar and overall great energy. The food was good, but I can't say it was wow. Personal... opinion too many ingredients in entrees and ingredients don't balance together. I would have enjoyed something simple. Read more
I went here for my birthday and the service and good were top notch. First of all my party was an hour late and we brought an... extra person (both of which were our fault) and the hostess and manager bent over backwards to accommodate us and still make usfeel special. FYI: We tried calling to notify them but they've been having phone line problems for a month. So we weren't ableto talk to them until we got there. Once seated the server was fantastic. The orange dreamsicle (non-alcoholic) and margaritawere fantastic. We had the focaccia with olive tapenade olives, pickled vegetables, and asparagus which were good. The beet &endive salad was divine! Get the polenta! Hands down favorite. The veggie burger's texture needed a little more crispiness. Thepotato tiki was flavorful but not as good as the garlic polenta. The banana split mousse was great. Overall a magical night.This is one of my favorite vegetarian restaurants. Read more
Millenium in Oakland is an exceptional, fully plant-based restaurant. I’ve enjoyed dining here for the past several years and... like to bring family or friends to share the experience. During COVID, it appears they’re serving a prix fixe menu (amusebouche, three courses, and optional wine pairing) for on-site dining and it is 1000000% worth it! Millennium has a menu thatchanges regularly, an impressive fancy cocktail list, and a host of staff that help make your experience lovely. My sister andI came here for dinner on a weekday night and it was packed! We ordered the prix fixe menu for ~$60, plus a couple cocktails.Being a meat eater, my sister was very skeptical at first. However, after our meal she told me that she’d 100% return!!! Wetook a few photos of our food, but totally forgot to take dessert photos because everything was delicious! Come to Millenium foryour next special occasion meal ???? Read more
Highly, highly recommend! The food, service, and overall experience was outstanding. We ordered the stuffed dates, saffron... risotto cake, and glazed tempeh. All the dishes were phenomenal, with the risotto cake being one of the best things I've evereaten. For dessert we tried the fig tart, and the blueberry gateau.. both were delicious, but the fig tart was my favorite! Wealso had the fall spice cocktail, and the blackberry lime soda - both were very yummy and not too sweet! Our servers wereextremely nice and accommodating as well. The prices are very reasonable. The patio is super inviting too. Vegans and non-vegansalike will love this restaurant!! Read more
First and foremost, I have to mention that I am not vegan or vegetarian and eat meat on the regular. However, all the negative... stigma of "gross vegan food" was completely blown out of the water here! The good was amazing and the service impeccable! Ourserver must have been the owner or something similar, because the power moves he pulled were something I'll always remember. Wewere seated and I mentioned I'm trying to eat more vegan and what would be good for someone like me. He immediately recommendedsome dishes such as the calamari mushrooms. In fact, before he even returned to our table and recommended this, he alreadyplaced the order on the house! And added some other appetizers too! They were all great, and the mushrooms were absolutelydelectable. Then we ordered the three course meal and I asked for potatoes and the burger, he immediately shot my potato orderdown and said no, you can get potatoes anywhere here, and simply placed a different order for me. Boy was he right! The food wasdelicious! The burger I ordered was super interesting! It was juicy and savory, definitely not meat-feeling, but it alsodefinitely didn't matter! The flavors were not something I was used to, but it was very very well done. I would absolutely haveit again! The same goes for the apple pie we ordered, new and fantastic tastes! It was rich and sweet, and definitelyimpactful! I would come back just for the server we had alone, I cannot express how highly I recommend coming here, the foodand service is outstanding! Read more
