    Hard to find. A very vague on-line map told us only that it was somewhere in the Berkeley Marina. We drove over the whole marina and found it only by asking random people three times. We found it at last INSIDE the Doubletree Hotel -- which had never been mentioned on the internet.

    Thanks for visiting us, Dan. We're glad to hear that you found us despite the challenging location. We appreciate your patience and are glad you eventually found us inside the Doubletree Hotel. Your feedback helps us to see how we are meeting your needs and how we can improve. We will review your feedback internally and hope to have another chance to win you over completely.

    I was surprised for a Father's Day brunch there were not many people at all. The location is amazing, I love Berkeley, but the service of this place was so poorly managed. I saw 2 managers walking around, and more bussers walking than actual servers. The food was alright, pretty basic brunch items, the mimosa flight was overly juiced barely any sparkling wine. I got coffee and had to wait for a busser to ask for cream and sugar, just not good. I had higher expectations for the amount of money I paid for this place. It has great potential but needs some major improvements.

    It has potential but there needs to be a collective investment in the experience of the customer. From customer service to wayfinding. It’s a great location and is close to being a great spot.

    To begin, the service was very good and we really enjoyed our spunky kind waiter. The staff assisting was not as “on the ball”. We were there celebrating our son’s graduation. The views were beautiful and we did get a peak of the sunset. The food was very good. I had Chilean Sea Bass which was excellent. One son had salmon which he enjoyed and the other son had steak which was very well prepped and delicious. The mussels appetizer was a large bowl of them in a delicious broth but bread was never delivered which I found odd, not realized as we spent the evening in good conversation. All in all a wonderful experience and definitely recommended.
