Taste ancient drinks, celebrate Black History Month, listen to great tunes, and more this week in the East Bay.
Showcasing sweeping views of the Bay, this upscale bistro—the jewel of the Claremont Club and Spa’s transformation—has world-class potential. Our opening-night visit started with tidbits by Michelin-starred Wine Country chef Joseph Humphrey (The Restaurant at Meadowood, Auberge du Soleil): skewers of tiny Gulf shrimp, charred snap peas, and churrolike corn fritters. The distinctive canapé concept (three for $18) accents an eclectic wine and craft cocktail list designed for maximum enjoyment in Limewood’s classy lounge, or on the “come-at-sunset” deck. Seasonal entrées of sausage-stuffed lamb chop with a summery salad, grilled halibut with pole beans, and dual-ricotta agnolotti were expertly and meticulously prepared. Lunch and dinner daily.
