Good food and good service. Went for an early dinner around 6pm and the place was empty so got seated immediately.
Came here with the wife during Oakland's restaurant week after reading a few reviews. We were sat right away after they... confirmed we were vaccinated and the menu was explained to us. We were going to order from the restaurant week menu but theysaid they prefer everyone at the table to order from it and the wife didn't like one course, so we ordered from the regularmenu. For drinks the wife ordered the ward's way and I ordered Leo's ramble. We both preferred Leo's ramble. We started w/acaesar salad which was ok, it had a bitterness to it that we didn't enjoy. For entrees the wife had the hand made cavatelli,which she said tasted undercooked. I ordered the burger, which was a special and of course added cheese and bacon. It was apretty good burger althoigh the sweet potato bun started falling apart towards the end. Atmosphere was nice and our server wasgreat. Read more
I'd been looking forward to coming to Tribune since it's opening and Friday we finally scored a table. Simplistic vibes with... nice lighting. Definitely recommend starting with one of their cocktails. I went with the tasting menu, and I'm so happy I did.It's the perfect 4 course meal - Salad, Pasta, your choice of main, and dessert. Each dish was immaculate and flavorful. I'drecommend paying a little extra for the flat iron steak, but the chicken breast was also perfectly cooked and juicy. If youlike chocolate mousse... you'll be in heaven once you try Tribune's. Go check it out! Read more
Definitely a special occasion type of place. Somewhere where you develop a relationship with the waiting staff and trust their... recommendations. We did the brussel sprouts, the crispy fries, the truffle risotto, and the amandine with a dessert of thetoffee cake & homemade vanilla ice cream. Not a single dish missed! One of those meals where by the end of it you just feelperfectly satisfied, not overstuffed. A bit on the pricey end but not unreasonable for the quality of food and experienceyou’re getting.

The Brussels sprouts are not to be missed. I love how they’ve infused subtle Indian flavors into the dish. Amazing. They do a... great smash burger. It’s bigger than is usually possible for a smash and seasoned very well. Fries are delicious too.Cocktails are beautifully crafted and delicious. They have some great spirits in stock. Their twist on the Bees Knees is acan’t miss. Read more
Hearty portions for a downtown restaurant. Glad it is back up since the COVID-19 hiatus. Beer offerings could be improved... considering the numerous micro breweries in the SF Bay Area and beyond. The Niçoise salad missed the hard boiled egg, theradishes, the green beans but it was a fair creative departure from the tradition with snap peas and early girl tomatoes. Theblack cod was surprisingly undercooked nearly raw sushi grade, unclear if that was the intention? Where is the side lemonwedge? The generous French fries basket could have benefited from additional sauces especially of the pigmented kind. The waiterwas super friendly and engaged. The building is a landmark to journalism in the East Bay when the people had a voice through anewspaper rather than in online forums. Read more
