    I am a member of the Laundy club and there is always a problem with them finding my account! Even with the card. The food is good, but smaller portions and we are not sure if the value is there anymore

    We went to Creekwood in Berkeley for brunch with a group of 11, and it was such a lovely experience! The food was delicious — the crab melt stood out as a favorite, and the French toast was absolutely amazing. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and the service was smooth and friendly even with our large group. Great spot for a relaxed and tasty brunch!

    We thoroughly enjoyed the experience! In addition, our server was cognizant of the fact that we might be attending a performance and asked in advance if that was as the case. We had a well paced, delicious meal and made it to the Berkeley Rep Theater with zero stress. Well done and appreciated!
