Service was attentive and prompt. I had the pastrami sandwich which was excellent - moist, slightly fatty (but not excessively) with a good quality cheese on a good quality bun. Husband chose one of their many burgers which was also excellent. You get choice of either salad or fries. The patio is so nice on a hot summer night. Lots of big TVs (which I do'nt like (but great for watching Warriors games).Why not the 5th star? My husbands fries were all burnt ends and junk. I wanted to send it back to get good fries but he was so hungry and he hates to complain. But when I saw the fries at the other two tables I realized the kitchen cut a corner and sent out the junk stuff because they wanted to get the plate out. For $16 burgers the kitchen shouldn't done that.

This is such a cute breakfast or lunch spot.. casual and fun.. we came for a holiday dinner w someClose friends..and it was so casual and such bright lights at a table practically in the kitchen. The staff was so attentive that we felt a bit rushed and interrupted when we were visiting. The ladies had chicken that came out a good 5Minutes before guys sliders.. chicken cold.. and hard to cut .. guys sliders had ice cold buns from fridge..and were small just sitting on a plate.. the best thing we had was truffle fries..salty hot and good We ended up at cooperage for drinks after.. which had the right Lighting and feel.. american kitchen is maybe just more casual than what we wanted? Maybe just lunch sitting outdoors is better for here. We go to 4th bore and even tho casual it has correct Lighting level.. and feels more evening than this did.

Wanted a comfortable spot to talk to a friend coming through town briefly; made a reservation easily online. Service was excellent and we talked and ate slowly without feeling rushed by wait person. Food is fine though not memorable. Nice drink selection. Attractive interior. Good location. Restaurant offers valet parking in area where on-street-parking is generally filled.

Wow, they have expanded this bar over the years. Large tables inside and outside and lots of TVs for watching sports. Great beer menu and you can play games with the entire group. Great for larger groups and very close to UC Berkeley, CA.

We enjoyed an afternoon tea with a view of the bay. The service was a little slow, but it was ok with us, as we were not in a hurry. Certainly worth it just for the view of the bay.

Iâm a big fan of the Bistroâs Reuben sandwich, so when Iâm in town I stop off. This is in the hotel so there is valet parking if you donât want to do self park. Spots are tight. They are known for their French onion soup. Good salads and always a quiche of the day.

We were early for a show in Berkeley and decided to try this place out. The environment was lively with numerous televisions showing various NCAA and NBA basketball games. We were sat immediately. We waited a few minutes for our waiter and ordered our drinks first. The waiter came back and took our order. It took a while for our drinks to come to the table. The Osso Buco appetizer beat our drinks to the table. We didn't have any utensils or plates. The hostess brought us utensils but had to wait for plates. The Osso Buco appetizer was excellent. Mind you, our drinks still hadn't made it to the table. Our drinks finally arrived after 20 minutes of waiting, even after we asked out hostess since we were unable to flag down out waiter. The meal eventually came. We had the fish tacos and 2 cowboy burgers. I had my cowboy burger modified with bison meat. In all, the food was excellent. It took a while for use to (1) receive our bill at the end of the meal and (2) to receive my credit card back upon paying. If it wasn't for the service, this would have received a 5 out of 5.Word to management: Saturdays seem busy. You should always have extra people on in order to better serve your patrons.Word to waiters / waitresses: Just because you take an order doesn't mean you are finished with a table. Customer service is key in the restaurant business!

Brew Pub with oven fired pizza and a variety of other food
Reviewed By Arotake
Late lunch as a family on a Saturday. Nice feel to the place especially outside. Good range of beers for an American restaurant/bar. Service is pretty good but food itself only very average. The Caesar Salad and the wedges were poor but the pizzas were good. So, OK just overall.

Itâs a small neighborhood restaurant that is adjacent to 2 other restaurants and a great bakery....I walk by when grocery shopping or grabbing some fresh croissants and coffee...catching glimpses of the food being served....it has a Wow factor! From attentive service to tasty, well conceived food. Make no mistake, this is tavern food .....elevated to contemporary upscale plateau. The flavours are not subtle and refined....we shared the Gnocchi 1st course....soft fluffy pillows balanced with cherry tomatoes, chanterelles, crunchy vegetables and subtle heat from chiles....The Halibut entree seemed to be most popular entree of the night seeing it on many adjacent tables...seared to a golden brown yet moist and tender inside, it sat on a bed of fresh corn .....the sauces were almost too strong over powering the fish essence...a fine line. My bone in pork chop was a generous portion, well seared yet lightly pink on the inside,,,,tender and moist. The bed of beans, andouille sausage and sauce was perfectly balanced with the pork chop. The peach marscapone dessert was good, but overshadowed by the excellence of the entrees....itâs kind of a noisy restaurant with an energetic ambiance...there is a small bar counter for single diners....good wine list. Service was A+
