Family owned and run Mua was one of the first restaurants to open in what was then Auto Row in Oakland, in 2008. After their first 2 restaurants, Pastoral in Berkeley (first opened in 1982 while still students, 37 in the architecture program at Cal and San-Ju painting at SFAI) then later Soizic (Jack London Square, 1996), they wanted to shift gears from heavily curated menus to more comfort-based fare catering more to the eclectic and artistic community in Oakland. Today you’ll find people of all ages and backgrounds, from Too Short to Jerry Brown.

Burrell is lovely. We enjoyed the mushroom and sunchoke main, and the black cod, although the delicacy of the black cod oyster chowder was over powered by the earthy umami of the mushroom dish. Should have asked our server about the combo. corn bread amazing as always. waffle and chicken liver was the hit of the night. The fried cauliflower and broccoli was decent. Not the best. We were full by the time our mains came! Wish we would have saved room for desert!
