According to Inside Scoop, they’re hoping to open around September, and to get ready, they’re holding several “Plum preview dinners” at another Daniel Patterson restaurant: Il Cane Rosso. Every Monday in August, expect a casual 4 course dinner.

Larry McClendon wants to bring fresh and healthy food to Oakland. So he partnered with Dontaye Bell, chef/owner of Good Food Catering, to host a 6 course Oakland Underground Dinner at his upcoming Berlyn’s Eatery. Make reservations by emailing lamcclendon@comcast.net. Here’s a picture of the chicken from the last dinner, which was comforting and expertly balanced. This is the new menu: Heirloom tomato salad with herb vinaigrette, seasoned ricotta and toasted bread; Smoked turkey and Black eyed Pea Soup with summer greens, onions and corn; Fritto Misto with wild arugula and basil aioli; Grilled Watermelon with mint and chili oil; Slow Roasted Catfish with collard greens, garlic, sweet onions and cucumber salad; and “New” Peach Cobbler. Proceeds will help offset the costs of opening Berlyn’s Eatery.
132 International Blvd, Oakland
Tues, 8/10, 6 – 8:30 pm
