    The food was as always excellent. The attentiveness of the staff was good outside of some curious lapses in time when our waitress just seemed to disappear somewhere.

    We had early reservations at 5:15pm but got there even earlier but luckily they open at 4:30pm. We were promptly seated and Paul our amazing server brought us delicious crisp martinis and a yummy prawn cocktail. The dining room is tasteful and cozy. Our dinners were so good, prime rib cooked perfectly. The au gratin potato's and creamed spinach were very good. No baked potato's on the menu unfortunately and 2 options for salad, ceasar and mixed green with vinaigrette dressing but those were both yummy as well and the pear bread pudding with carmel sauce was scrumptious! Thanks for the recommendation Paul! We will definately be back!

    The chef beautifully presented each tasty item that we ordered. The setting in Julia Morgan's historic Berkeley City Club is magnificent. We easily enjoyed our conversations during a leisurely lunch. Thanks so much to all the staff and to our waitress Maria in particular.
