Millennium - Oakland

This is my favorite spot for special occasions. I love the food, the service and the experience. Everything I have had has been excellent.

It's no secret this is the best place to go for a vegan meal. A date, a special occasion, a prix fixe special and also, the Monday night Above Ground Pizza pop up. Chef Eric co owner Alison have the best, freshest, locally sourced ingredients and the seasonal menu is amazing. The desserts are indisputably the best vegan desserts anywhere. They have an excellent outdoor dining area covered in the winter and watertight. Friendly staff excellent mixed drinks that evolve with the seasons.

I first went to Millennium when it was based in San Francisco back in 2002. It was memorable, expensive, worthwhile. Eric Tucker is the long time head chef of Millennium bringing a knowledge of over 20 years of making probably the best most innovative vegan cuisine on the planet. Me a friend recently visited the Rockridge location new home of Millennium. The restaurant has a great vibe as it was well decorated, spacious, has a outdoor porch seating area. We both enjoyed our experience the food was amazing! My friend had a crisp cauliflower sandwich kale salad. I had a bean stew w/ veggie sides including mushrooms. Everything bursted with flavor texture as if masterfully prepared which it was. The menu is highly seasonal always changing. The online menu will only give one a feel of what to expect as probably isn 't accurate to what the menu really is. My best advice is go if you haven 't been for the experience. It is essential to go if you are a vegan the cuisine here could easily convert an omnivore to become vegan. The menu is a bit hard to grasp yet the servers do an excellent job with recommendations do a great job making the menu tangible. It is expensive as dinners run about $30 per person yet the weekend brunch is much more affordable especially if you bring a friend to split dishes. They even have a happy hour that I will look to check out. Reservations are essential so book ahead. Expect a memorable, expensive, worthwhile experience! Updated from previous review on 2021-12-11

Fancy food with beautiful plating. Service is above average. What more can you ask for? Eating at Millennium is an all-around great dining experience, and everything I've tried has been nice. Updated from previous review on 2023-01-01

I love this place and have been enjoying it for many years going back to the original location in SF. It's definitely my go to spot for special occasions, holidays, birthdays, date nights, and well any time. The menu is seasonal and Chef Eric and his team consistently create some of the finest dishes in all of California and quite possibly worldwide. Alison and her team are amazing and always make me feel special. This place has a permanent very special place in my heart and I always look forward to dining here. The ambiance is beautiful as well. I cannot say enough about Millennium it's hands down the absolute best restaurant in all of Northern California. Go there and see for yourself!
