The Terrace Room is one of Oakland's best-kept dinner secrets, housed within the gorgeous 1927 Lake Merritt Hotel building in a space originally opened in 1934 as the Cascade Terrace restaurant. Throughout the 20th century, the historic venue became known as one of Oakland's trendiest nightlife destinations, attracting major celebrities to listen to broadcasts of its live KLX radio shows and dance to performances by big band artists such as Count Basie. Today, the Art Deco-style supper club offers some of the city's most beautiful lakefront views and serves up reinvented American classics prepared with locally-sourced ingredients. Delicious land and sea fare served up at dinner ranges from gourmet fare such as petit filet mignon and health-conscious options such as Impossible burgers to Cajun-inspired options such as blackened catfish and Creole red beans and rice.
