    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.

    My husband and I went here for Tea Time on Tuesday. I primarily wanted to bring him for the ambience and beautiful ambience and architecture. The food was great and the Jasmine tea was phenomenal. You have access to explore the building and we enjoyed some time in the study as well.

    My granddaughter, 11 yrs old, loved the dinner - 1/2 chicken with broccoli & potatoes, chocolate lava cake & orange cake, Julia's salad and especially the rolls! The servers are very friendly and helpful. We went early and it's so beautiful.

    Too geriatric (we are mid 70’s but would have liked to see more people younger than we). Veal was tasty but a little tough in parts. Onion soup, Julia’s salad, veggies and trumpet mushrooms and scalloped potatoes were great. Orange cake a little dry, pieces of marinated oranges could’ve been bigger and crème fraiche didn’t do anything for the dessert. Wine and service were great!

    I had the white bean and cheese sandwich. It was nothing special. The setting is beautiful but food only so-so.

    I took a friend for lunch here for her birthday. Note that you have to ring for the front door to the City Club to be opened by office staff. The restaurant is upstairs and there is an elevator. We had a reservation and were seated promptly by the friendly host. Our waiter, Hans, was incredibly sweet and helpful. We ordered the non-alcoholic wine (do not recommend) and the quiche and caprese sandwich. The quiche was excellent and came with a nice salad and hot French fries served in a cute basket. The Caprese sandwich had great ingredients but was hard to eat with focaccia bread which is hard to bite through. It would have been great on a softer bread. I had to take it apart and try to eat it with a fork and knife but then lost some of the pesto, which had soaked into the bread. The molten lava chocolate cake was delish, served with a little scoop of ice cream on top. It was served on a plate with a birthday candle, which was a lovely touch. In addition, the cake was comped which was very kind and generous. One big PS: We went on May 22nd and did not realize we were in the midst of Graduation season. Fortunately, my husband drove us and picked us up as parking was virtually impossible. So consider what's happening at CAL when making plans.

    First time. We came for graduation. Beautiful building and space. Food was delicious! Great value too. Portions generous IMO. Service was a tad slow - took a while between courses and check back. We chalked it up to a busy night. Would definitely return.
