Nice table very quiet Roger our server was excellent. only free parking is across the street parking in their lot is $40. The crab and shrimp sandwich was excellent though a little overpriced at $29 . The Caesar salad was average The calamari appetizer was great and we really enjoyed the wine flights.

Excellent service from gentleman on the outdoor patio (which is mostly covered and has good heating). Food is not only creative, but it’s delicious (not always true with “creative” food). It is expensive so will be an occasional, not a regular, spot for me.

I just love Babette. The patio is beautiful, brick walls and glowing lights under the big redwood, the indoor space interesting and stylish and warm. The food is a treat. Today we had the borscht with short ribs, unusual and delicious. Also the 2 cheese and grilled onion sandwich, and the baby gem salad with poached salmon. The salads had thin cumquat slices and grapefruit as well as greens, very fresh. Also the almond pistachio cake that we shared with a candle since we were celebrating a birthday. Every bite was a pleasure. I am so glad that Babette is open for lunch now!

Everything we ate was delicious. The Beet Salad was well dressed and plentiful for two. The Short Ribs were tender and tasty - great comfort dish! The Lamb Kebabs and Couscous are my “go to favorite”. The Baklava w/Vanilla Ice Cream was “the right way to end a fantastic meal”! Our server was attentive (checked in on us regularly) and efficient. Wonderful dining experience!
