Berkeley Social Club fits right into Berkeley with its industrial but modern chic ambiance. High ceilings, various small tables as well as communal ones add to the laid back, social collegiate atmosphere. The breakfast and brunch menu includes a variety of selections with Korean and American influences. My Bulgogi Benedict was delicious with marinated ribeye, zucchini, mushrooms, and a unique Meyer lemon hollandaise. Aaron G really enjoyed his Morning Pizza which is doughiness and looks nothing like a pizza. We were stuffed. Of course their morning drinks hit the spot. Aaron G had a BSC Sangria. I loved the Millionaire Mary, and should've ordered a second. The Millionaire's Bacon® was so bloody divine! I'm glad it was in my Bloody Mary and also got a side of it. Brown sugar, cayenne, red & black pepper...wow! Even with a full house and outdoor line waiting, service was friendly and we didn't feel rushed.

The desserts are also generally better, too. The food is generally pretty average depending on the day of the week, but the vegetables are especially bad.

Swan's Market has been a staple in Old Oakland for a long time!!!…read more I used to come here long before my Yelp days quite often. There used to be live music here sometimes (I think there still is, sometimes) and the market has small restaurants and even a place to buy uncooked food, Parking in Old Oakland can be a challenge depending on when you come, But this place has indoor and outdoor seating available, and the vibe here is very Oakland!!

If you need somewhere to go, not sure what you want to eat and want options then come to Swans. Most of the eateries are consistent, but a few of them change every few years. All the food is good and they take pride in quality & presentation. Whether you want something sweet, savory, rich or whatever you can find it here. There is indoor/outdoor seating & too many choices not to make this a place to visit.

Food didn't take long, quality of the food was ok, portion was not filling at all, especially for the price. More of a bougie, place. The pizzas we ordered were super thin, not a lot of toppings & toppings seemed like they were just thrown on in the middle. Restroom, only 1, pretty spacious & clean

Firstly, this is a cafeteria for LBNL employees, affiliates, and official visitors only. That said,…read moreif you are working on the hill and do not have time to take the bus down into Berkeley, this is just about your only option for lunch! There are three or four different stations set up that provide different types of food each day. There's a grill station for hamburgers and wings, a Mexican food station, a salad bar, and at least one more. The variety of options is nice, although there's definitely not anything very unique or special about the offerings here. Prices for entrees average around $9, while side items are typically $2-4. I ended up ordering the "lab burger" with a side of garlic fries. The burger and fries were decent, and I was pleased with the bacon, sprouts, and avocado toppings. Somehow it appeared as though the entire cafeteria had run out of ketchup, but there was still sriracha available. At the end of the day, this place is a cafeteria and it knows it is a cafeteria. Tables can be a little dirty, there is no exceptional service, and the food is nothing special for the price. The redeeming qualities would be the ease of access for LBNL employees and the beautiful view out towards SF from many of the tables. The water here was full bodied and on the softer side.

They had three different stations with a salad bar. Grill station had hamburgers and wings, a Mexican food station, a salad bar, and at least one more. The variety of options were nice, although there was not anything special the menu. Even more, prices for entrees averaged around $9+, while side items are typically $2-4. With a drink, that average price was $15. For the quality of the meal and the average food, it was not worth it. Their service was decent. For example, today, I ordered steel cut oatmeal; I purchased it before the line got long. But I waited 30 minutes. I asked the chef, and he rudely looked at me. And then addressed me that he would take care of it. He went away. 15 minutes passed. I asked another guy, and he said it was going to take an additional 10 minutes. I had to go back to work, so I left without the oatmeal and my refund. Rating Food: 2 Service: 3 Ambience: 4 (Great view of the Bay Area from the hill top, especially on a clear day.) Price: 2 Overall: 2 Unfortunately, this is the only option. But it is worth taking the bus to campus restaurants.

The jalapeño burger with an egg on top was cooked perfectly, and I swapped the fries for green beans. Not to be dramatic, but those might be the best green beans I've ever had.

The donut dish had a nice texture and a fresh seafood flavor. The mushroom cappuccino had purple powder which was aesthetically fascinating and the soup was full of umami. The tasting menu itself started with the crudo, which had a sweetness from the guava broth and a spicy kick from the onion and curry oil. The lovely balance of flavors and textures continued in the Caesar dish with crunchy leaves and the ikura bursting (literally) with deliciousness. The pork belly was hearty and comforting, with a plum sauce and plantains which paired well with the carignane. The smore was a fun spin on a classic sweet snack with a gooey marshmallow. Overall I had fun looking at and tasting the food here. I'd like to come back to try the fish, it smelled so good.
