Left Bank Brasserie Opens Friday In Jack London Square

OAKLAND, CA — Are you ready to try a new restaurant in a beautiful waterfront setting? Left Bank Brasserie is scheduled to open in Oakland’s Jack London Square on Friday.

The menu features options such as Prawns Provençal, Seafood Plateau, Steak Tartare, Salade Niçoise, Steak Frites, Beef Bourguignon, and Coq au Vin.

“Left Bank has been one of the Bay Area’s French restaurants which has demonstrated true lasting power,” said Obadiah Ostergard, partner and CEO of Left Bank. “We took the opening of this new restaurant as an opportunity to refresh the brand after nearly 30 years, and we’re excited to see it come to life, especially in such an amazing space.”

Left Bank Brasserie Chef Larry Finn will oversee menu development with Executive Chef Chris Ahr overseeing the kitchen.

The bar program features cocktails of a bygone era—paying homage to the kind of drinks Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck would have enjoyed—such as Negronis, Bee's Knees, and Moscow Mules.

The restaurant has outdoor seating, indoor dining and banquet facilities.

The original Left Bank opened in Larkspur in 1994. The restaurant group now includes Left Bank Brasserie in Larkspur, Menlo Park, and San Jose; LB Steak in San Ramon and San Jose; Petite Left Bank in Tiburon; Meso on Santana Row in San Jose; and Camper in Menlo Park.
