Grotto Restaurant Jack London Sq Oakland, CA

The Grotto Restaurant was at Jack London Square in Oakland, CA at the site where Kincaids Restaurant is today. The Grotto Restaurant was open from 1936 to February 1990.

The original "Oakland Seafood Grotto" opened in 1936. The Restaurant was rebuilt in 1966 right behind the original location and the "Oakland Seafood Grotto" restaurant's name was shortened to "Grotto".
