“Very good food ...everything was really fresh“

“Fine dining with reasonable price“

“Very wood service all of the time“

“I loved everything about this place. The food was just the right amount and so creative.“

“I work on the island and my xo workers and I go to mersea every Friday for some great drinks and delicious fish and chips and pizza. The fried broccoli appetizers are awesome as well! To top it off the owner always comes and says hi and I’m the staff is very pleasant!“

“I walked in with high hopes and with my group of friends. I walked out thinking the food was pretty good and the service was not great. Our server was gruff, condescending, and very inflexible when it came to splitting checks. The food was tasty and not as special as I was expecting. I'm not sure if I'll be going back.“

“Highly recommend the Duck Confit with good company and a nice red wine. You can’t go wrong with this combination. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Crockett Cocina is a wonderful little restaurant tucked behind the back of a commercial building. We weren't too sure if we should go in there but we were so glad that we did! The food was excellent and the service was too. It's a small menu but has something for everybody. This is not a restaurant where you wait to be seated. You order at the counter and go sit down and they will bring the food to you.
If you're ever in the town of Crockett, you must go eat at Crockett Cocina!“

“I’m a sandwich (and Italian hoagie) aficionado, constantly seeking out the best. I actually have an entire category of sandwich shops and deli’s saved on my phone. I will drive (or more likely ride my motorcycle 2+ hours just to try a new place.

Take it from me: Lucia’s is a rare gem. Five stars. Terrific bread, thinly sliced meats and cheese, fresh produce, homemade spread: they had it all.

And LOTS of it. I knew as soon as I picked up the bag: huge, loaded sandwich. I couldn’t get my mouth wide enough to get the whole thing at once. Then, I could only eat half. I brought the other half home and my wife could only eat half of that half. I enjoyed the rest the next day.

I should’ve taken a picture but was too busy devouring the thing. I will definitely be back, and I will remember to take a picture then. It’s as good an excuse as any for a return visit. See you there.“

“Friends here visiting and found this gem of a place! Best thing is we didn’t have to go far! Food was delicious!“

“Tummy comfort food in great post-industrial space. Friendly service, craft cocktails. Good menu options and specials. Outdoor tables also available.“

“Been to Hotel Mac many many times and never ever been disappointed. The menu often varies with excellence across the board. Just celebrated my 70th birthday there. Wonderful evening in a great atmosphere.“

“We had a great experience! We were walking and randomly came in. They have a happy hour Monday-Friday from 12 to 9 with a cocktail of the day for $10. They have some appetizers most for $10. The ceviche is a must! Chloe was amazing! Made reservations for dinner later!“

“Outstanding restaurant, we have dined at Wood Tavern more times than I can recollect . We we rather disappointed recently when we called to make reservations for 4 for lunch on 2/25/2022 and were informed they only take reservations for 5 or more. Is this true ? If so they should so state on their web site.“

“I love good bakeries and this one was good. I had Danish Fruits and liked it. It has a huge parking and people there were very attending. Will be back to try their coffee too.

I have heard they are a relatively new family business too.“

“Loved my birthday dinner tonight! Portions small for the prices in our opinion. A scallops main dish with 3 scallops is small. Drinks were amazing, decor fabulous and great service. My son had to go eat more food afterwards as he was still hungry. Bigger portions would be good. Loved everything else! Great choices, appetizers, main dishes and creative drinks were delicious. Kind of surprised knowing they knew it was my birthday that they didn't offer me a birthday "something" to make it special. For these prices I would expect something.“

“food was very good. good location for big groups“

“This place is an awesome neighborhood cafe. The food is seriously good!!! I bet 90% of the business is local.

We checked google maps for 4.5 star or better and this place was on the list. The menu looked interesting. We were visiting from Phoenix and had been eating really heavy for the past few days (I think we gained 5lbs!). We wanted something light and different.

I had the turkey club with clam chowder. Very yummy, chowder was not as creamy as you would expect but was very fresh tasting, very good!!

Wife had the lobster and crab melt. Normally I would avoid this, I immediately think of a frozen old tasting seafood mix with cheese on toast. This sandwich was delicious!!!!!! Seafood was very fresh!!

The oldest had the Ultimate Breakfast, fluffy pancakes and everything cooked perfectly!!

The youngest had the Angus cheeseburger. He said it was very good and finished his meal before everyone else!!!

This place is a great neighborhood cafe with delicious food!!“

“The cocktails and ambiance are beautiful. I've been going through a rough time lately and working hospitality myself, this spot is a refuge for a night cap on the way home. The staff is friendly. I haven't tried the food yet but giving 5 Stars across the board.“

“great service and hospitality love there food will always come back .“

“Love eating on the Sun porch and the refills on the ice tea!“

“1111 Solano is a new location for this restaurant. Previously near Craneway and before the pandemic in Point Richmond. Same chef, same staff, and same excellent food and service.“

“An amazing restaurant with an interesting history and spectacular view of the Bay. Great service and food. And the Caprice is fully wheelchair accessible. Thanks for a great dining experience!“

“Met up with a friend for breakfast. She has recommended this place. It was my first time there but immediately It felt very cozy. Our waiter was very attentive. I ordered the eggs Benedict with bacon. It was so good. I was impressed. Good size portion. Wasn't even able to finish my plate. My friend was satisfied with her food as well. She also ordered fresh squeezed grapefruit juice which she said she always ordered there because it's just that good. Needless to say I Will definitely be going back to try some of their other dishes.“

“This was my first time here, and I'm so glad that I visited. I ordered the double smash burger, which was delicious and juicy. The order came with seasoned fries. The atmosphere was simple, no fuss, and the service was quick.

Parking: Depending on time of day, parking can be difficult.“

“One of the best restaurants in Elmwood (4/5 green stars) It’s so easy to walk right by Summer Kitchen without even noticing it. It’s a narrow shopfront with just a few tables outside and it’s easy to miss as you ponder ice cream and other offerings from neighbors. Well, take it from me – forget ice cream and get a baked item from Summer Kitchen instead! Or try a pizza, or an egg salad sandwich – possibly the best egg salad sandwich you’ll ever have. But if you are limited for time, try one of the fresh fruit pastries (galette) – they seem expensive at $12 but they are big enough for two and totally worth it! I’m giving Summer Kitchen 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact. The positives are obvious – most of the ingredients are organic and locally sourced. Everything is made from scratch and there is transparent sourcing of the meat and fish (Mary’s free-range chicken, etc.). There are a reasonable amount of vegetarian options and you can definitely find some vegan dishes too (salads, sandwich, pasta). Summer Kitchen could make the biggest environmental impact by scrapping beef from the menu – replacing it with plant-based alternatives, ideally. Beef has a carbon footprint of around 10 times that of chicken and over 100 times that of pea protein, on average. If everyone one the planet ate 1 lb. of beef per week (the US average), total greenhouse gas emissions would increase by one third! I’ll write a post illustrating all of this soon on the Green Stars Project. So I really appreciate that Summer Kitchen makes more effort than the vast majority of restaurants on improving sustainability so that’s my suggestion for the biggest opportunity for improvement – cut the beef.“

“Lovely venue and great service!“

“The atmosphere is amazing. It's a combination of cozy and white table cloth.

Just enough menu selections to have something for everyone . Not sure about a kids menu, I didn't see one.

Meatballs and pasta were very good. Nice wine selection as well as a healthy selection of bourbon and other spirits.

Great place for a date night or watching a game. They had a TV at the bar with a game in when we were there.“

“Duo Grill is my go-to brunch spot in town. The food is excellent! My favorites are the Hash Brown Hill, the Salmon Scrambler and the Corned Beef Hash. I always leave so satisfied and excited for my next meal. The staff are all incredibly attentive and kind. Love this spot so much!“

“Antoinette and her team were absolutely amazing! We booked them for our Fall Staff Welcome event and would definitely book them again for future events! We had Nachos, popcorn, and Churros and they were all soooo delicious! Everything was prepared and cooked on site and we are so thankful for that!

Our guests were raving to us about their booth by the end of the day and we are so happy to have had them. 10/10 would definitely recommend!“

“Great local eatery with delicious beers and wonderful taps. Joe, the owner, is one of the most sweetest guys you’ll ever meet. Highly recommend!“

“This place has an amazing menu, served in record time by the friendliest staff. We have been going here for years and have never left less than satisfied. Their bad days are better than good days for most places

Kid-friendliness: My kids love this place.“

“In the location of the former Nico's and if you're a long-term resident around here Chester cafe, the breakfast joint everyone here used to come to, Walnut tavern has totally beautified the inside, and while I was only able to get a drink because of time constraints their "Old Cuban" (basically a mojito with spiced rum), was excellent, and the people working there we're friendly and the place has an overall goodbye. I'll review it some more when I have time to have a full meal there. But I can already recommend the bar. Great drinks.“

“We had dinner there tonight (3/14/24) for the first time and we will be back. Two of the most interesting and truly delicious sandwiches we have ever eaten. I can't remember what mine was called, but it had chicken (roasted perfectly), sauerkraut, cheese and other awesome stuff on a grilled rye bread that was excellent. My bride had the turkey sandwich and loved it. But the star of the show were the Tater Tots. Perfectly crisp with BBQ sauce to dip them in and then into some wonderful real bacon bits. Every tot stayed crisp from the first to the last. The meal was worth every penny and more. Get into the Alameda location and try it. You won't be sorry. PS: The only bad part for me is that we live in Seattle and won't be back down until May. But you can bet I will be eating here then.“

“Definitely recommend this place! first time here and I can't wait to come back next time I'm in Berkeley!! Food is delicious!“

“What a lovely surprise to find such tasty, healthy food so close to home, friendly staff, on time! Lightly cooked but high-protein and *yummy*“

“The lamb chops were phenomenal!“

“Yummy delish cheese steak sandwich“

“I had a fabulous crab Benedict and the service was quite good, like the sort that was more common before the pandemic. I will be back.

Parking: Public lot, no shelter.

Wheelchair accessibility: The patio is quite accessible. I didn't look inside.“

“Best food and drinks all weekend long. Marco was just an amazing individual. He made our anniversary even more special. My husband is a huge mezcal fan and asked if there was a drink the bartender could make and sure enough they made the most spectacular drink! We loved the food and drinks so much we stopped in after our long hike from Angel Island. I ordered the same mezcal drink as my husband did the night before. G was just an amazing bartender and helped us out with all the different types of mezcal and what characteristics they bring to the table. Marco even recognized us and said you guys are back. I have been telling everyone about your amazing restaurant and not just the quality of food but just the atmosphere and experience we had with the staff. They are all welcoming and make you feel like family.“

“Beautiful atmosphere. We sat inside thinking it would get cold but when we left at 7 we saw the wonderful large heater lamps and wished we’d sat outside. Our server was so friendly and attentive! All food exceptional.We’ll definitely be back

Vegetarian options: Portabello mushroom sandwich fabulous“

“Long time customer. Ordered bacon and cheese quiche to eat in and a chicken turnover to take home. Both were excellent. Also my standard a blueberry Danish and their dark roast coffee. Just wish they would return some of the savory baked goods from the past like mustard laced cheese sticks and cheese scones.“

“my friend and I enjoyed our brunch on the outside patio. food service was fast“

“Romantic atmosphere. I am happy to check in here.“

“The interior design is terrific with the velvet rope curtain, the huge orange arch and the colorful mural. The food is also very good and they serve the best lattes

Parking: A huge red parking structure is a 5 minute walk away and on the same block

Wheelchair accessibility: Completely wheelchair accessible...not steps. everything is flat.“

“Dining with Abstract Table is an art experienced through the eyes and palette. Each course was beautifully and thoughtfully created to delight the senses. I can’t wait to see what they dream up next!“

“We just want to say that Kim and Phillip did a great job for our Thanksgiving dinner. We will definitely be going back for their barbecue pork feast at Christmas can’t wait if it’s as good as Thanksgiving was it’s going to be a hit with the family.“

“Good food and excellent service ! We will be back in our next trip to Berkeley for sure .“
