    First, it is fall is always an amazing experience to go to the Berkeley city club. It is a beautiful historical building designed by Julia Morgan, and every detail of this location is amazing. The restaurant does not disappoint it. It’s beauty and charm. It really felt like a special occasion eating there. The service was perfect. The menu was well balanced, and the food was incredible. The prices for the experience were quite reasonable. The wine selection in special selection was outstanding. This is a must restaurant.

    Consistently delicious, fresh and inventive food. The big cherry buratta crostini and homemade pasta were especially tasty. We ate on their enclosed outdoor patio. They had well placed heaters which made the space cozy. I really appreciate that the dining area is relatively quiet so you can easily have a conversation. Wonderful service too. My favorite neighborhood gem.

    We both had the chicken salad sandwich: a generous amount of yummy filling, perfectly cooked French fries plus we shared the Big Cookies with gelato: 2 giant chocolate chip cookies to die for and a bowlful of yummy gelato. This is a great place to eat with friends as the menu I has good choices and the atmosphere is quiet for easy conversation.
