Classy waterfront dining has returned at Eve’s Waterfront. After a kitchen fire prompted the restaurant to close for several years, Eve’s will celebrate its grand reopening this weekend. The restaurant is rolling out new brunch offerings — including a raffle that promises to award the winner comped brunch for an entire year — plus indulgent dishes like Moroccan wings, smoked trout salad and crème brûlée French toast. Eve’s Waterfront, 15 Embarcadero West, Oakland

After a two-year closure, beloved South Bay bakery Honey & Pearl has found a permanent home on the Emeryville and Oakland border. Head to their Instagram for instructions to pre-order and pickup from their new spot on weekends. You’ll find classic bestsellers including their signature guava chiffon cake, plus cookie butter brownie bars, ooey gooey bars, coconut pineapple cake, burnt almond cake, and both classic and Mexican banana pudding.

Ini Burger, a casual burger joint serving Halal burgers, chicken wings, salad bowls and loaded fries, is expanding its reach in the East Bay.
