Still the Best

I have been going to Millennium for almost twenty years. I have probably been to a couple hundred other vegan restaurants around the world and nothing even comes close. Yea it’s expensive, but you are getting the best gourmet vegan food available.

Fine dining at its best

Love this place! Great service, and incredible food, perfect for date night. One of the best vegan upscale dining establishments I have ever been to. Everything on the menu tasted and looked incredible.

Pros: Service , Experience , ambiance

Delicious!

Love the creativity of the food. The stuffed dates, the mushrooms, the millennium burger and the s’mores torte were amazing. Such great flavors and textures. Service was very good.

Pros: Unique flavors and textures of the food, Variety of menu choices, Great dessert options

Get the burger!

My review is solely based on the Millennium burger. All the others dished we got were ok, but the burger was incredible! Such a great variety of flavors and textures. The ketchup was amazing too!

Good Vegan Food

I'm going to be bold and break the line of five star reviews. After everything I'd heard, I was expecting pretty exceptional dining, and I was honestly disappointed. It isn't exceptional if I have to say that it's good vegan food; I should just be able to say its amazing food, period.

I enjoyed all of my courses from the prix fixe menu, but I did not find them particularly inspired or worth the price or the restaurant's reputation. Too many competing, strong components that didn't really complement each other all that well.

It was good, just not that good. My alfredo was very nice for a vegan alfredo, but it wasn't all that special.

The atmosphere was very nice and the service quite friendly but not terribly professional for a restaurant like this.

On the whole, this was one of those restaurants I had to try before leaving the Bay Area, and I'm glad I did. I'm not longing to go back, though. I would recommend it for a very enjoyable meal, but not an extraordinary dining experience.

Simply outstanding

The food is unique and takes you on a magical ride of vegan culinary fantasy. Unique is often overused but not in this case, this is an exceptional example in every way. Easily the best high end vegan restaurant in east bay.

Bias Take...Lol

I'm really writing this to promote this excellent Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant...because I work here. Lol Chef Eric Tucker's creates an innovated menu for you to experience contemporary cuisines...100% VEGAN. In collaboration with Chef Ambrose Miner, they create flavors through an experimental imagination using fresh local farmed produce. Millennium also provides a fine-dining ambiance w/ an option of outside patio seated. The bar includes inventive cocktails, craft beer, and a wide selection wine list. So come on over to Millennium if you're in town.

Had a Lovely Evening

We loved it! The food's fantastic, but pretty mushroom heavy. The outdoor seating with the heat lamp was really nice.

Pros: all vegan and delish, outdoor seating with heat lamps, very friendly servers

Exquisite vegan dining

A truly remarkable experience, showing just how creative and delicious vegan dining is. Flavors pair well, food changes to show the seasons, and the drinks compliment well.

Pros: Vegan, Creative drinks, Rotating, seasonal menu

A unique upscale experience!

Rather than try to replicate omnivorous dishes, Millenium creates unique menu items using novel ingredients, some of which you may never have had before! I recommend checking it out! 🙂

Our go to spot for special occasions

My family and I spend almost all birthdays and anniversaries here. And sometimes just to celebrate a Wednesday 😋
The food is always great, even when we have no idea what we ordered or are eating! As great as the dinner food is, the desserts are even better! Oh, and don’t forget the cocktails 🍸 So yum!

Pros: Quality food , Flavor profiles are on point, Great atmosphere

Great!

This is a good place to have a nice dinner, date night etc. It’s a bit pricy but the prices are comparable with similar vegan restaurants. I prefer Plant in Asheville to this restaurant, but I still really enjoyed my meal and the ambience. It’s a beautiful place!

Fine dining

Every time Ive come here, Ive done the five course tasting thing. It looks like fancy little portions when the food comes out but by the end im bursting at the seams.

Pros: vegan food with class

Cons: parking

Fine dining type food in a casual laid back environment

The food here really impressed us. It was a super laid back environment, waitstaff are friendly. But the food is like fine dining stuff. Really something different and very tasty.

Greasy, uninspired, disappointing

We tried a lot of dishes for brunch. They were slathered in oil and just bad. Surprisingly awful because the other times we’ve been here, it was good.

Pros: Vegan, All vegan

Cons: Not up to par, No where near as good as it should be , It took two hours for us to get our meals.

Pricey and bland

Honest review: I didn’t love this place—the food was too pricey to be bland—but I still support the fact that they are an all-vegan upscale restaurant. We got the saffron risotto and adobo.

One of the best, ever, anywhere

Millennium has been a Mecca for seekers of creative cuisine since they opened in the original location in SF long ago. The chefs know their way around a vegetable, and a kitchen. The Oakland reincarnation offers the same inspiringly inventive plant-based cookery in a more relaxed atmosphere, and still with excellent service.

Vegan foodies — and indeed foodies of any non-phytophobic stripe — must try this one-of-kind place at least once or twice.

Tip: come with friends, to sample as many dishes as possible.

Enjoy!

Pricey, but Good

Delish, but use a lot of mushrooms. I can always find a couple of things in the menu without though.

Best Vegan in the Country? They would get my vote

Was a fan of Millennium since the SF days. Supported their move to Oakland via Kickstarter. Have even taken one of their cooking classes. I LOVE going to a place where my trust in the chef is such that I can simply order the chefs tasting menu without any worry. I only wish they had a location in SoCal, as this is 400 miles from home.

Pros: Food, Service, Great vibe

Cons: No private dining option like they had in SF, No hotel within walking distance, Pricey (but the quality makes it worthwhile)

excellent vegan fine dining

This is the place in the bay area for vegan fine dining. Everything I've had here has been excellent, with lots of fresh veggies and really creative flavor combinations.

They're open now for Sunday brunch (in addition to dinner every night), which is less pricey and less crowded. Most of their brunch options are savory, although they do have pancakes with an amazing orange marmalade topping.

Pros: all vegan, delicious

Cons: pricey, can get booked up

I’m a regular customer here

Yup! No more words to say than great things about this restaurant. Pretty chill and you could also have a “summer” ambiance if you want to sit outside. Seasonal menu, and they never fail to surprise me.

..especially those oysters mushrooms that I am so hooked on it!

Probably the best vegan restaurant I’ve been to

Menu is utterly delicious, ambience is excellent, staff are professional. I’d go every week if I lived in the area!
