"Went here on a Saturday afternoon during Berkeley graduation weekend. The atmosphere was lovely, and the background chatter was at a fun volume. People are seated both inside and outside the bar, and you have to go inside to alert a server if you wish to dine outside. The food was lovely, and they had a good selection of boozy brunch drinks as well as alcoholic ones. There were a variety of vegetarian options as well, and one vegan meal plus many vegan sides. Many meat and salmon dishes as well. The rating is 4 out of 5 stars because despite the nice food and atmosphere, the service left something to be desired. As previously stated, I went during the Berkeley graduation weekend , and it appears as though they were understaffed because the owner himself was bussing tables and seating people. However, this lack of staffing and extra customers led to a rather irksome communication breakdown. Many times we had to ask for a second bottle of water, and many times more did we have to ask for a third bottle of water, and we left quite a bit of time between the many requests. The biggest flaw was the fact that half the meal arrived, and the second half only came 15 or 20, minutes later, after we had asked the owner twice where the second half of the order was. No one came back to check on us. We had to try and alert staff who walked away from us to attend to another task. After delivering the check the waitress was apologetic and offered to get us a drink as an apology, but we were finished with the meal at that point. I don't blame the staff themselves they were kind and courteous and overwhelmed but I wish there had been more communication with us once the issue was raised."
