My in-laws invited my wife and I out to dinner. They had a gift certificate for Juanita & Maude. I never heard of the place but was excited to try it after looking at reviews and the menu. It was so good! The server was awesome and was helpful when we had questions. I got the pollo saltado. Tender chicken with amazing flavors! It came with some thick potato wedges in this amazing sauce. To drink I had the Remus which was amazing. For appetizers we had the beets and fried fish balls. For desert, we had the chocolate cake and camomile flavored dish. We had so much fun. I look forward to recommending the place to my friends.

### Updated Review ###

Our recent visit to Juanita & Maude, a restaurant we've previously enjoyed, left us with mixed feelings. Nestled on San Pablo Avenue, it has been a reliable spot for special occasions, but this time, the experience didn't quite align with our expectations, particularly given the pricing.

We started with the sweet corn & cheddar soup and the heirloom tomato tartine. Both dishes were good and well-executed, but they didn’t offer anything particularly noteworthy or different from what we've had before. On the other hand, my companion absolutely loved the ahi tuna carpaccio, praising its freshness and the balance of flavors.

For the main courses, I opted for the seared filet mignon & smoky beluga lentils, while my companions chose the grilled hamachi & cold noodles and the b'stilla pastry of spring lamb & sweet cherry. The filet mignon was cooked to my liking, and the lentils were fine, but the dish overall felt quite standard. My companions expressed similar thoughts about their meals—tasty and well-prepared, but without any particularly remarkable features. Given the cost, we felt that the dining experience fell short of what we had previously enjoyed here.

Unfortunately, upon returning home, I immediately became ill, and the symptoms started during the drive. It was clear that one of my dishes was the cause, as I was the only one affected and none of us had shared our meals. This incident left me sick for two days and has understandably shaken my confidence in the restaurant.

In summary, while Juanita & Maude has been a favorite of ours in the past, this recent visit was a disappointment. The food was good, but it no longer delivered the distinctiveness that once set this place apart. Coupled with the unfortunate illness I experienced afterward, I find it difficult to recommend the restaurant as enthusiastically as before. I hope this was an isolated issue, but it has certainly made us reconsider.

Really fun restaurant with unique takes on dishes. Everything we ordered was great, but especially the olives, the little gem salad, and the chicken katsu. The lamb and cherry b’stilla grew on me the more I ate.

The absolute best restaurant in the east bay, consistently. I almost don’t want to write a review to make getting a reservation any harder but the folks here deserve it and are the absolute best. Food, service, drinks… always spot on, fresh, innovative and absolutely delicious.
