Wood Tavern

This year for my birthday dinner I decided to stray from Chez Panisse and try out Wood Tavern, another Bay Area acclaimed restaurant. We were not disappointed!

We have passed this place too many times on College Avenue in Oakland. 

And on a Tuesday evening, people were still spilling out the front doors.

Crispy Pork Belly with grilled peaches. Simply amazing.

This bloody mary was just missing one ingredient, although still pretty satisfying for this pregnant lady. 

Well, my pork chop was just sitting in a work of art, wasn't it? 

So beautiful I got sidetracked and forgot to photograph Jon's dinner!
