I headed to the market late Saturday afternoon. Even though it was cold and windy, the atmosphere…read morewas so welcoming, and no one seemed tired at all. I stopped by a strawberry vendor, and honestly, they were the best strawberries we've ever had--so fresh, perfectly ripe, and nothing like the ones from the supermarket. We also picked up some kefir yogurt nearby that totally exceeded our expectations. It was a bit more expensive than usual, but definitely worth the price.

Occasionally when I go grocery shopping at TJs down the street, ill stop by here. When I visit on…read moreSaturdays around 11AM, it's not very busy. The parking lot is not full and there's a lot of space. There are approximately 3 veggies stands, 2 fruits stands, hummus stand, 2 bread stand, meat/fish stand, cheesecake stand, flower stand, and a few food stands. I've found that while this farmers market is small, it usually has what you need. I do find that the produce can be quite pricey! I primarily choose to visit, due to the exceptionally sweet fruit. I rarely find oranges, Asian pears, and apples as sweet. So when I feel like dishing out a few extra bucks for some delicious fruit, I'll treat myself. With that said, holy gosh are the prices expensive! $5/lb for Asian pairs and other citrus fruits. $2.50/lb for napa cabbage(that is usually $.69/lb at the grocery store. Yeah, I get that it's a farmer's market, however, it's no longer what it used to be. We used to solely buy produce at farmers markets, now it's not possible unless you're making a solid income to afford $5/lb oranges. Overall, clean and tidy farmers markets!

Good entertainment. Every performer is a superstar. Great Ring Master. The exploitation of the…read morehorses I could have done without. Having horses run around a small ring at lightning speed, with visible whips, was sickening. It's 2023 and that was not expected. Otherwise, the elegance and skill of the performers is superlative. Concession stands and very friendly staff. Great family entertainment. Other than the horses.

If your expecting a good show where there's exotic animals that are trained to do tricks then this…read moreplace is not for you. All your gonna get is a bunch of half naked girls, horrible seating, and nasty food. Payed 70 bucks for good seats and got nothing but regular crappy seats all the way in the back. Do not go here! The few animals they showed were locked up in glass cases and looked frustrated as can be. Back in my days they had professional people who trained the animals to do stuff, not keep them in a glass case where they can barely move around. I know a lot of people are going to dislike my rating and argue otherwise but it's my opinion so take it or leave it. It's your choice if you want to waste money on this joint. The only reason they even deserve one star is thanks to the boys who actually did cool tricks doing back flips on these swings, now that was a real show! Not those half naked girls.

Date: 3/1/2026 Time: 6:15 PM 62° Cool…read more It's Sunday late afternoon. I receive a FB message from my male companion. Date night! Where do I want to go for dinner? It's a spur of a moment thing. There are two restaurants I want to have dinner - Y's Choice or Sweet Fingers. First stop: Y's Choice, which is in Uptown Oakland, the hood I grew up in the 50's (my old stomping ground). They are packed with beaucoup diners. Since we have no reservation, we decide to go out to ESO, destination Sweet Fingers, a restaurant serving Jamaican food. First time at Sweet Fingers and I need time to peruse the menu before deciding what entree seems to appeal to me. I have a choice of a small plate or large plate meal. Oxtail stew is something that I have not eaten in a long, long, long time, as in over 60 years ago. The oxtail stew that I had in the past was prepared with a tomato based sauce and contained carrots, potatoes and celery. However, the Jamaican style oxtail stew is totally different. Tender oxtail infused with seasonings and brown sauce. The sides were rice, vegetables and plantain. Although the rice is on the dry side, the entree is quite delicious. The small plate meal is the perfect amount of food for me. There is no "people" bag to take home with me. LOL. My male companion is surprised that I have eaten all my food. Most of the time when he and I are out on a dinner date, I have leftovers to take home. I usually order an Arnold Palmer as a beverage at any restaurants I have never been to or eaten there. Perusing the cocktail menu I decide to have a piña colada. ("If you like piña colada, and get caught in the rain...", refreshing no matter the season or weather.) My male companion orders the salmon entree and a salad. He does not eat plantain and he agrees the rice is dry. I can only surmise that he quietly enjoyed his dinner. The salad did not have enough salad dressing. I believe the waitress would have accommodated us if we have asked for more salad dressing. Overall I am pleased with my oxtail stew and cocktail. A return visit in the future to try other entrees on the menu is on the horizon. I would not mind having the jerk tofu. Hopefully my date would be willing to do a return visit.

Ruined my Father's Day! Since my husband is Jamaican and is…read morean amazing Jamaican cook, we really Like to try authentic Jamaican cuisine. I Made reservations weeks in advance. On the week of my reservation , I tried multiple times to confirm the location of Sweet Fingers Restaurant since the website gave One address and Yelp & Google said that address was closed. I Texted as the recording suggests for guest to do when they do not answer their phone which is. ALL THE TIME.! NO REPLY!!! Almost made different reservations, but received a confirmation text for my reservation the day before and on Father's Day. After an amazing morning and l beautiful afternoon activities, I gathered my family and headed to dinner at Sweet fingers only to find the location was closed. Went to their other location listed on foothill as well which was also closed. Needless to say finding last-minute dinner plans at 6 PM on Father's Day was extremely terrible and ruined my family and I's day. Please be better with your communication! Please update your website! Please update Yelp & Google. If you are not open, do not accept reservations and do not confirm those reservations. Wives like me take pride in our ability to provide amazing Father's Day memories, and you've ruined that for me this year. Very disappointed! Be better !
