Butterfish Sushi provides some of the best service and flavors in Berkeley. Recently, their Salmon…read moreSkin Roll shocked me as one of the best rolls I have tried in the Bay Area. It combined crispy salmon skin with snow crab in a creamy mayo and was topped with daikon radish, avocado, cucumbers, unagi sauce, yuzu tobiko, and ikura. This rich combination really showcased the ingredients at Butterfish. The Arctic Roll serves as a fantastic scallop-forward addition to any meal, and in combination with the formal yet cozy atmosphere, it makes Butterfish one of the best bites in Berkeley.

The staff were knowledgeable and attentive. (I was amused by the "tablet" that grew into a handtowel when water was added) We ordered Smoked Hamachi Roll (a must & IG worthy), fresh oysters, Hamachi Roll, Pacific Roll, Sushi and Sashimi Set, Hamachi Collar set, 7 handroll set. The fish is so fresh and rice-ratio was perfect. We had such a pleasant dining experience. Butterfish will be our go-to spot for sushi in Berkeley area

If you go up the…read morestreet a few blocks you can get a fair trade dark chocolate bar from Trader Joe's that's four times the size for under 4 dollars. I think this places wants to seem down to earth and accessible to all but at those prices it's only accessible to people with a lot of disposable income. I get that it's hard to make really high quality food with good ingredients at affordable prices so I don't really have the answer.

I remember visiting Saul's when I was a kid with my god parents and my uncle would always get a Rueben . So when she said Saul's I had to agree ! We both needed up getting the pickle martinis and my friend got the chicken schnitzel (grilled) salad While I got the corned beef on sourdough with mustard , it was soo good. And our server was so helpful, so not remember their name but they had rainbow hair and they were so attentive and helpful while also being patient . The ambiance was very nice and it was sunny so we decided to sit outside on the porch. Everything was amazing - you can't beat a $9 martini

This is for the version & price point of Planted Table that existed in 2021/2022. (I stopped…read moreordering from them because my allergies were activated, and I needed to do an elimination diet. When I came back to them a couple years later, the price point had gone up & I was priced out.) The portion sizes were large. I think it was like $12-13/meal. 99% of the dishes were delicious. I was REALLY pleasantly surprised at the flavor & taste. I expected gentrified dishes. It was good! I was also specifically looking for meal delivery that generated less waste. Planter table delivered that. I got cool enough with my driver (and tipped well!) that he brought me a little thank you plant. I loved that I had the same driver each time. It was just a really pleasant experience overall. Nothing bad to say.

I am not vegan but this hits the spot and is the best meal service I have found. The food is still amazing and I'm happy to see the meal options have expanded, there's seasonal produce options and Acme bread, and now they post calorie information. They have family style option to get a bigger portion for those who have a family, or for me, to bring to a pot luck. They also have individual desserts and full size pies/cakes. Seriously - they have everything. They no longer offer wine for those who care. There are some additional pick up options, too, but I stick with Jack London Square on Wednesdays from 11:30-2:00. Pro tip: get the cookie dough!!!!! And the chili. And the breakfast burritos. And the bake at home pizza ........ $20 credit Referral code: QWC3D2MJ

I was so impressed with the delivery service, and my kit arrived in a nice insulated reusable Kitchen Doula bag. The hearty soups and stews came in so clutch for me during those early newborn days and long nights at 3am, when feeding time for baby came around and I was starvvvvinggg (and cold scurrying down to my kitchen in the odd hours of the night). I loved the nourishing cock-a-leek soup paired with a side of the plain biscuits...my husband and I were practically rushing to beat the other to the last serving of it because it was so nourishing and yummy (of course, I always got the seconds). We had a variety of the other staple soups, and I appreciate how diverse the options are on their site...you can't get bored with the selections. A couple years later, I have found myself riding the waves of the cold/flu season (which seems to keep cycling back in our household especially with a toddler in preschool passing germs back and forth), and I am needing to have nourishing, fresh, and warming soups to help bring comfort...and Kitchen Doula, we meet again! This is now my go-to recommendation for new mamas, parents, or peeps, just needing to find some relief in the food they eat, in a way that feels good to put into your body and to spend your money on. So happy for this service!

And I gave her $300 gift card just after my granddaughter was born so she could order some food, two orders at 1 one order at 300.

If you're a mother or mother-in-law in trying to give a gift to the mother of your new grandchild, skip this one. for her I pay 1/3 of the cost for shipping is really ridiculous particularly when the site says free shipping on $150.

Yeah no. Back in the mid 2000s, til about 2012, I regularly shopped in this small local,…read moreemployee-owned grocers because it was close to where I lived, I prefer small, neighborhood markets, and I liked that everything was organic. I liked the long-time manager Michael (now many years retired). I was out of state for about 10 years, and returned a few years ago. I have dropped in here now and then for an item or two (or just to use the restroom, which is always very clean), and left empty-handed each time because the prices are laughably exorbitant. You can tell a lot about a business - grocers or other - by the mood or attitude when you walk in. I don't know if employees have been burned by bad customers or if it is just more post-pandemic 'Weltschmerz,' but whenever I stopped in here I never felt welcomed, or as though the staff actually enjoy working here. I hear no customer-staff friendly banter, see hardly any smiles. It is just stony-faced, entitled (mostly white) people getting what they need, not interacting with or making eye contact with others, much less exchanging smiles or friendly "hellos." It is one more example of the bratty coldness that has taken over most of Berkeley, which breaks my heart. This used to be a lovely market to call my "neighborhood market," but absolutely no longer is. Before any employees or the manager chime in with a response to defend their laughably exorbitant prices by reminding me of how small a market they are - whoa there, little kitties - your prices are still higher than Monterey Market up the road or another employee-owned market, Berkeley Bowl. I can't even afford to puchase a bottle of mustard here, and must get it at Trader Joes. Be honest: This market is for VERY WEALTHY PEOPLE ONLY or for people who DON'T MIND MAXXING OUT THEIR CREDIT CARDS HERE so that they can feel like one of the "cool kids" for shopping here. Your produce is beautiful, your shop very spic 'n span clean, I appreciate that you offer non-GMO and Fair Trade groceries, but you could do better, truly, by making the less-than-ridiculously wealthy people feel more welcome here. You'd have to care about us first though.
