What we’re about
This group is for visiting San Francisco Bay Area restaurants and other events that have foodie interest or a food centric theme. Such as food and wine festivals, Eat, Drink San Francisco, the San Francisco Chocolate Festival and San Francisco Street Food Festival.
While food and beverages are of primary importance, this is a social group for having fun, making new friends and keeping touch with others, trying something new, or visiting an old favorite, yet again. Join with a friend or two, or eat with strangers and find common and uncommon feasts of food, conversation and an occasional butterfly.
Attendees
Please be prompt or message your host directly (perhaps use the new chat feature) comments are delayed by as much as an hour. Dress is usually casual, use your own judgement, on a rare occasion a jacket, dress or no shorts may be required. And please take pictures of your food and upload them to our group, San Francisco Foodies maintains that the photographer maintains ownership of their art. If you want to take pictures of guests please remember to ask their permission before. Bullying and derogatory remarks are causes for removal from an event and this group. Not paying for your ordered items most likely will result in legal action.
Administrative Trivia
There are no dues. However some events require a deposit for joining. A deposit is spent toward an attendee’s bill (restaurants sometimes charge a deposit from $5, $50 or the entire cost of a meal and beverage $400).
Events are usually free to attend but each member and their guests pay for their respective meals, drinks, some events have split appetizers or family style meals where each person pays the same price and all share the meal. These details are in each event. Restaurants usually charge city tax and a mandatory gratuity. In San Francisco a percentage for employee insurance. Expect 30% to 35% added to your order.
Some Events ask for attendees to prepay a portion of any deposits or venue costs. These are paid events.
Nonprofit Fundraisers are where a donation is requested, a nonprofit is selected, usually rated 100% (some local charities are not nationally rated but all of their donations are 100% used to support their activities). For our events San Francisco Foodies asks donations to be given to the nonprofit directly, any donations collected are forwarded (100%). These are also marked as paid events.
Event Organizers are unpaid volunteers, however, some may charge a fee. Those will be paid events and full disclosure of where fees go are in each event's description. San Francisco Foodies is always looking for new volunteers as organizers and adding new events.
Use of Meetup Comments and Chat for spam is forbidden. Suggesting events is encouraged. If the event is in another group please contact an event organizer to co-host with our group. Much better to become an event organizer with our group and host an event yourself.
Be Well, #Eat San Francisco.

Taxes and Fees
Dining in San Francisco has a sales tax (8.625%) and an employee health mandate (6%), a tip (20%) may be automatically added, even on individual bills. I calculate each diner's orders separately unless the meal is shared or family style, and round up.Parking and Transportation

Pomet-Oakland: Farm-to-Table Dining
Piedmont Ave, Oakland, CA 94618, Oakland, Ca, USCome let's feast on the great bounty of Fall! NOTICE- CHANGE of DATE to Saturday, November 8, 2025 @ 5:30pm. (Sorry for the date change--due to scheduling conflicts.)
Pomet is a great, fairly new Farm-to-Table restaurant in Oakland. It was featured prominently in CHECK PLEASE, BAY AREA. It's the 3rd restaurant in this clip.
Check Please Bay Area, Pomet reviews - Search
It appears to be moderately priced. For parties less than 6, it is a la carte--but dishes are served family-style--and reservations require a $25 advance. I've reserved a table for FIVE for Saturday, Nov 8, 2025 @ 5:30pm--so I can take FIVE more SFoodies. I'd estimate the bill to be about $90 on the high end. (First five diners who Venmo the $25 advance will get their place. FYI-am a NON-steak diner.)
While their main website is under construction, the menu is online: Pomet dinner menu 09.21.25.pdf - Google Drive
Certain items on the menu might change due to source availability from their farm. Pomet is at 4029 Piedmont Ave., Oakland.4 attendees
