Brunch at Oakland’s Penrose (Permanently Closed)
Are you looking for the ideal spot for a brunch date? Maybe you’re hoping to impress a special guy or that perfect gal, but you don’t want the get-together to carry the weight of an evening date.

Meeting potential mates through a friend of a friend is increasingly less common, and some daters don’t feel comfortable getting together with a stranger after dark. A fancy – but not too fancy! – brunch with the perfect ambience can set the ideal scene. Who knows? This date might be the first page of a true romance in the making. It’s important to get the details right.
