“This place lives up to the reviews and rave. We ordered the oysters, clam chowder, mussels, burger, 2 glasses wine and 2 glasses of lager. I was satisfied with it. The clam chowder had a lighter soup to it while the mussels had a thicker stronger taste. Both were wiped out with the bread. The oysters were super fresh. Perfect. I would definitely recommend this place and come back again. There will be a line to queue in. But it was worth it as we were then seated at the table facing Bay Bridge and not facing the queue. It was such a good lunch. In total we spent about usd100 each. There were two of us. If you had more people the cost would be lower.“
“A latecomer to the Vacant to Vibrant pop-up series. I walked by several times hoping they'd open and finally they did! It was definitely worth the wait since Senegalese food is very unique in the FiDi (and even San Francisco) and it's delicious!Pizza Pulaar: A really unique "pizza" and much heartier than typical flat breads. The nice butternut squash paste made it hearty and flavorful. The generous amount of cheese was crucial to be pizza-like. And all the wonderful spices gave it so much personality. Plus the fresh pomegranate seeds were a great seasonal touch. High recommend!Senegalese Street Style Spaghetti Sandwich: It was like they took a basic Italian spaghetti and meat sauce then added a bunch of yummy African spices. Definitely a nice zing. A tad carby, but so good! Though I must say there were some skeptical reactions when I posted pics on social media. My recommendation is just try it yourself!Chicken Drumsticks Teranga: While the other dishes are tasty, they seem a bit sparse on protein. So adding these to your order is a nice way to upgrade your meal. It would just be a regular old baked drumstick, except for the delish sauce! It's got a nice tang and tons of spices. They should seriously sell bottles of that stuff to upgrade your chicken at home.Mango Kalamata Olive Salad: Kinda tastes like a regular salad, that happens to have fresh mangos in it. Lots of healthy veggies, but the least flavorful of the items I tried.Maafe Bowl: It wasn't the maafe I was expecting, but it was the maafe I needed. I thought it would have a stronger peanut taste, kinda like satay. Turned out to be packed with tons of flavors and just a little peanut undertones. It was hearty, thick and spicy. Pretty filling for vegetarian, with lots of nice chunks of root veggies and squash. I made sure to get every bit of that delicious sauce with the stray bits of rice left over.Love Potion: Lots of flavor in this little bottle. A little thick, so I added some sparkling mineral water in a glass with this and turned it into a refreshing spritzer. Though it's also enjoyable as a thicker drink by itself; flavor is not overwhelming just a bit of viscous texture.“
“As a devoted and doting consumer for years, I need to say that this is my favorite raw/living foods company! I absolutely love Living Tree Community Foods! The quality of the products is second to none, i.e. the almond butter is the best among any brand I've ever tasted, and the seeds, spices, honey, cacao, coconut butters, sugars, grains, nuts and oils that I have ordered have all been extremely fresh and vibrant-tasting. Even though the products had to be shipped across the country from the West to the East coast to reach my door, they always arrive undamaged and taste like they have just been harvested. I wish I lived in Berkeley because then I would be begging for a job at LTC! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping educate and supply the healthiest living foods so that we all can live a long and healthy life!“
“This place feels like home. A place to get a filling, healthy, vegan gluten free meal. A place to have a deep conversation with friends and stay up late. A place to meet new friends. And this place has incredibly talented musicians. Definitely came for the food and got wowed by the music. I've been coming here for a decade but hadn't been in a while and I will be back.“
“Had a great time. Tge food preparations were great. I had the scallops with added Brussel sprouts. No salads on the menu made choosing a dish a bit awkward. Would recommend upgrading with salad choices especially with pre fixed menu items.Vegetarian options: Veggie options were great.Dietary restrictions: Nuts, any spice issues we were informed aboutWheelchair accessibility: All on one level“
