Had dinner here with friends from the East Bay to celebrate a birthday. We shared the entire meal which was mostly small plates and one entree-sized serving. We were able to have a variety of dishes, all creatively prepared: artichoke hearts, bone marrow, mac and cheese w/o cheese, watermelon salad, garlic prawns, collard greens with bacon, fried chicken with coleslaw and cornbread, bread pudding and pineapple upside down cake. Really delicious meal, and everyone was happy and full by the end. Good place to go if you want to try different foods but don't want to commit to having it as your entree! Funky atmosphere - very eclectic! Good service, fun drink menu as well. Highly recommend.

By brother brought all of our out-of-town family here to celebrate my niece's graduation. They accomodated us in a private room with exceptional service and outstanding food.
The salad and vegetables tasted fresh picked and they did amazing things with arugula! Butternut squash mac n cheese was amazing! Our salmon and chicken entrees were wonderful, but my fav was the flourless chocolate cake for dessert!

While the service was excellent, the food was disappointing. We had high expectations, since we enjoyed their other restaurant so much. The artichoke was tough. The beet salad was very ordinary with only the usual variety of beet. The brussels sprouts were poorly prepared. The entrees were the only highlight of the meal. With so many wonderful restaurants in Oakland I doubt if we will ever return.

This is the third time in one month that I've been to Mua, for two birthday celebrations and one get together, all for lunch, one outside on a nice sunny day and twice in the big room. The hamburger was well portioned with either fries or a salad, the duck confit salad and chicken Milanese salad are tasty and good sized but my favorites are the brussel sprouts and fried calamari!
