    Mita was charming and informative as a server. We had the salmon which is perfection and the chicken pot pie! Why do people eat anywhere else - everything is so good!

    Excellent post-movie dinner. What I liked was the variation in the menu - I could eat lighter and my husband could have a full meal. The octopus and musssel/clam appetizers were outstanding - and good portion size to share. We chose to eat outside, which was more intimate. Inside was very loud. The patio is tent-enclosed (not in a parklet!) and had heaters. It was very comfortable. Our waiter was attentive but laid back. It was a very enjoyable and relaxing experience. We will return!

    Food was flavorless and onion soup was extremely salty. The service could’ve been better

    This new location where the Cooperage used to be is amazing. Best brunch in the East Bay. They can accommodate large groups and it was a wonderful time! All of the food from sweet to savory was delicious and the cocktail menu and wine and bubbles had a lot of great options. Whether you’re in the mood for breakfast or lunch or dinner they have you covered!

    We went for lunch and had a wonderful time. I had the chicken pot pie - comfort food at its best! Service was excellent...attentive but not overbearing. It was a great experience and we'll be back.

    Good selection of lunches. A little too much salt used, so next time I'll ask for it not salted. Friendly and efficient staff. Good service.

    Food was good. Service was very good. The only issue was a group that was extremely loud. Other than that, a nice place.
