Daytrip, a highly praised bistro known for its creative and eclectic Californian cuisine, reinvented itself as Daytrip Counter in May after closing in December due to revenue issues. Featuring vibrant '70s decor and a take-out friendly setup, Daytrip Counter serves rotisserie chicken and seasonal sides, maintaining its reputation for bold flavors and unique culinary approaches. With high accolades from Bon Appetit and The Mercury News prior to its closure, the restaurant aims to blend unforgettable dine-in experiences with simple yet creative dishes for takeout, marking a new chapter in its culinary journey.
Daytrip was a restaurant as unusually good as its unusual, '70s party-style decor, where creativity met flavor-maximalism in a bustling Oakland bistro.
Critics have praised the original Daytrip for delivering lively and scrumptious dishes that elevate standard fine dining, making it a must-visit in the Bay Area.
Upon reopening as Daytrip Counter, the restaurant continues to focus on bold, flavor-maximalist Californian cuisine, such as their popular rotisserie chicken and fresh sides.
The decor reflects a fun, nostalgic party vibe with a color palette featuring Heinz mustard-yellow, while leaning towards a take-out-centric business model.
