This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.

Berkeley is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Berkeley follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Wanted to try a nice place for lunch and this popped on Google when searching for places in the area. Beautiful scenery from all of the windows when walking in. We had a window seat which was great Menu had a variety of items for everyone to choose from. Pasta dish with Shrimp very good, a little spicy from the red pepper flakes. Garlic bread very good Calamari very good Chicken with Couscous was not good. Chicken was dry and we sent back and tried again and second piece just as dry and flavorless Sirloin Steak-Good Cesar salad with Crab very good. FYI side of crab $15 Chicken sandwhch -Good

I’ve been here multiple times with family, friends, and business associates. Everyone has enjoyed it, every time. I honestly don’t know if there is a more picturesque spot in the Bay Area. You are literally on the water, and most tables have a full view of the bay, from the San Rafael bridge to the Bay Bridge and everything in between including Alcatraz, Golden Gate, SF skyline, and marine life. And we haven’t even mentioned the food and service! I would recommend lunch or early dinner as it gets crowded quickly. Service is prompt depending on time, love the menu, and prices are very reasonable is considering the atmosphere, view, and quality. Today we had a lobster & shrimp sandwich and a French dip. Both were fantastic! The lobster bisque was a bit too creamy/sweet for my taste, but I’ve also had their chowder which is solid. And the bread they include with your meal is topped in garlic and butter - and it would easily cost $10 as a separate item at many restaurants. Easy to find and park, right on the west tip of the Berkeley marina, University Ave exit just off Highway 80. Highly recommend!

Ok, I have been to a lot of different restaurants, but this is by far my new favorite place!!! The wait staff and hostesses were fantastic. You cannot beat the location, looking out onto the water watching the sunset, the colors playing over the San Francisco skyline and Golden Gate Bridge. The food was exquisite, each dish presented to perfection. Even my daughter said it was the best plain cheeseburger she has ever tasted. I tried it - she is right. We can’t wait to go back!

Had an amazing three course meal during restaurant week! It seemed especially busy for a Tuesday night where we had to wait for about 20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated and the food came out rather slowly; however, the service was excellent the whole time. Very friendly, attentive, and intuitive staff. We were impressed that the seafood restaurant with views still managed to come with exceptional quality and reasonable prices. The sauces were on point. Definitely recommend and hope to come back soon!

My friend and I went here for my birthday, this place is amazing! Our waitress was Tracy and she made my day so special. We tried many different dishes, and the quality is an easy ten out of ten, not to mention the beautiful view we had from our table looking out at San Francisco. I would definitely comeback again and try everything on their menu! Thank you, Tracy for the wonderful lunch experience!
