Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Berkeley

Still too noisy but delicious! I tried the lobster croquettes with the lemon curd aioli. Wonderful.

Loved it. The food was perfect. The Rockfish appetizer was my fave and the oysters. Service was excellent. Chef came out and spoke to several of the guests. Steak was perfectly cooked tender and juicy according to my husband. The sauce on my striped bass was phenomenal! Pricy but worth it!!

Great place for drinks a meal. Very popular and has a nice vibe. I had the salmon which was good but not overwhelming. The cocktails and service was awesome.

Excellent all around. Savory chanterelles with pasta dish went well with other starters. Drinks well described and delicious. Appreciate the flow of conversation enabled by the sound panels in the ceiling.

One of our favorite “neighborhood” restaurants for a dinner that is classy without breaking the bank. Great cocktails, wide selection of appetizers, pasta, and entrees — well prepared and nicely presented. The bacalao (salt cod) appetizer tonight was outstanding, the cod like little puffs of cloud on top of polenta cubes. There’s something for everyone, whether they like meat, fish, or vegetarian stuff. The vibe is casual but you definitely feel transported out of daily life (to an Italian trattoria?) and well taken care of. My one caveat is that the pasta servings are on the small side, but I guess that’s better for my health. 😆
