The food inside is delicious and healthy portions. The service here is great too!
Highly recommend the Duck Confit with good company and a nice red wine. You can’t go wrong with this combination.

While the food looked and smelled wonderful, we were not able to get a reservation between 5:30pm to 9:30pm ( it is too late to eat then for us). We were in Berkeley for 4 days visiting, and could not get seated in the times we wanted for 3 of the days we tried for. We checked in the main restaurant and in their upper cafe with no luck. This place does not seem to care for out of town visitors.
