The View

You have just found Oakland’s best kept secret.  The Terrace Room is known to many as a little gem, tucked inside The Lake Merritt Hotel with panoramic views of the mesmerizing Lake Merritt. The beautiful, Art Deco building was built in 1927.  Then it was a trendy hot spot, featuring Big Bands and dancing, including Count Basie.  Today we welcome you to come visit this historic room while enjoying fresh, local and seasonal items.
