MAMA Oakland

I go to a LOT of hardware stores and this Ace stands out as exceptionally well run, well stocked, and organized. There is always an employee nearby that can help you find anything. They also make sure you find it instead of pointing or telling you the aisle number. I hear them talking people through their projects all the time to make sure they are getting the right thing. Thank you to everyone who works here!

The most helpful staff works here. The guys in the back know their stuff, and they're friendly. Don't feel bad asking basic questions for DIY - the advice is sound.

Ace, keep your people happy, they make the neighborhood happy.

Food was great. I like the salad, focaccia, pasta and halibut. Dessert need a bit of work. Speed is slow, lots of waiting time in between courses. Need to be patient for your food. But the service was great!

Would be good to book in advance but they also have walk-ins. The ambiance was good and homely nothing very fancy. The service was top-notch and then came the food which was devoured. They have a pre-fixed 3 course menu with 2 options in each course. The portion of the food is relatively less as they are more of a sample but you have the option to add for extra charge. Great drinking options. Overall it is a great experience and would definitely recommend it if you are celebrating an event/occasion. Very accommodating for vegetarians, dietary restrictions. FYI: They take 20% service charge and don't take tips. So don't be shook to see a slightly higher bill.

I love this location! Extremely well stocked and organized, esp. for how small it is. They almost always have what I need and are a fraction of the footprint of Home Depot with a hundred times better service. Yes some things are marked up relative to Home Depot for sure, others are the same price. The time it saves you finding things though is worth it to me. Cute selection of small indoor plant pots and there's a garden center location next door as well with even more pots and plants. Always someone around to help you, fast checkout, and easy returns. Love coming here and I'm not even much of a maker/builder or anything.

Great inventory, and service. Love this store. So glad they survived the pandemic. We bought indoor plants today for our condo lobby. And birthday cards, and bags of wood chips starter for pellet stove.

We went there for my mom's birthday celebration and it was great. The food was good and the service was great. Just to tell you, the menu is served with 3 courses and you can't get one dish only. Highly recommended!

Words cannot describe how fantastic this Ace Hardware is. Do yourself a favor and experience old fashioned service from helpful staff who will help you figure out what you need and find it. This Ace has hardware essentials as well as various housewares with a very popular garden center down the street.

Great experience. The service was top notch. The food was well-presented. I like my foods a bit more spiced up, so it could feel a bit bland if you are like me, but I still enjoyed it. I love all the little touches like the visitor note they get you when you pay the bill.

Meatballs were interesting and good. Has kind of a fluffy texture with a nice crispy crust - almost falafel-like. Tomato sauce is creamy and pretty unique.

Salad, pasta and tart were all good
