Today, however, I was putting something in my bag outside the restaurant when a worker approached me. I expected him to tell me to leave, but to my surprise, he gave my dog compliments and offered some potatoes for her. She very much appreciated them and we appreciate the worker for his kindness. Thank you, William!

This is more of a rustic, American-style crepe spot than a traditional French crêperie. The crepes…read moreare massive and packed with generously chopped ingredients. You order at the counter, grab a number, and your food is brought to the table. Each dish does take a while to prepare, so I wouldn't recommend stopping by if you're in a rush. My crepe was slightly above average, though I think it would have been better if the ingredients were chopped more finely so each bite felt more balanced and consistent. The potatoes on the side were very tasty, and my husband really enjoyed his Denver omelet. They also offer quite a few non-crepe breakfast options, which may actually be better than the crepes themselves. Overall, this spot feels a little hit or miss depending on what you order, but it's still a solid choice for a hearty, casual breakfast in Berkeley.

Found UQBAR on Yelp. It was bustling but tables opened up outside after I ordered. I did have to wait for a minute or two until the tables were bussed & wiped clean. I ordered the half soup and half sandwich which cost about $15. A surprisingly reasonable price. The mushroom soup was thick and the best I've had in a while. The lamb sandwich was succulent and melted in my mouth. I also ordered their milkshake which is made with coconut milk and a berry which name I don't remember right now. The shake was a nice chilling treat on a sunny day after a week of overcast days. Of course, I enjoyed sunbathing over my leisurely lunch. The only glitch was somehow my order got misplaced. After a long wait, I brought it to the attention of Benjamin the owner and order taker. It turned out that my order somehow got lost on a bustling morning. But Benjamin made good by offering me a full sandwich. It was the best lamb sandwich I've had in Berkeley for a while. Benjamin is a very nice person and didn't try to disguise or excuse the glitch. As I told him, the lamb sandwich was well worth the wait, especially since I was hungry when I first ordered and much much more hungrier because of the wait! To be fair, even in Berkeley venues I've frequented for a long time, this does happen once in a while when things are busy. But from what I can see the staff of UQBAR are typically OTJ. I'll be back to my new fave Berkeley lunch spot. Oh, it was easy parking on a Saturday.

We got the ceviche as a starter, which for $32 is pretty much 4 bites, but it is really fresh and delicious. For my main, I got the burger special which had strawberry bacon jam, toasted shallot aioli, Pt. Reyes blue cheese, basil, and mint. It was so unique but delicious! My only complaint is that it's a wet, drippy burger which I don't prefer, but it tasted so good I pushed through anyway lol. They rotate the burgers they serve too, so next time I go I get to see what's new for that. My husband got the lamb meatballs with the lentils and he enjoyed it very much. His only complaint was that there were only 4 of them, but this is just a good note for next time to order more. All in all, I give it 5 stars. The staff is welcoming and our waiter Oliver was so nice, personable, and well-versed in the menu if you need help ordering. We liked him so much we're gonna ask for his section next time we come. Just as a heads up, it's a semi-casual vibe, but it's Albany so you're always gonna get a mixed bag of attire with some people a bit more dressed up. The place is also kinda tight, so I wouldn't come here if your party is bigger than 4 people, and it's definitely best to make reservations like we did since it can get pretty packed. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

Amazing, just amazing…read more Cocktail program is next level. Food is exquisite and creative. Loved everything about this place! Service is professional and warm, small intimate dining room is energetic and cozy. We tried the pork belly bun, lamb meat balls, and the flatiron steak. And added a side of French fries.

The ice cream was sweet and so delicious. Together it's all perfect bites. Street parking was fine on a Friday night.

I don't really need a salad that has no dressing and I don't pay for extra items for no reason. They also stopped putting the bar code on the receipt so I can't even get points for the money I spend. Today was the last straw. This stupid piece of bread, no dressing, no extra fruit or nuts, no bar code, no napkin/fork. This is the last time I'll ever eat here and I don't even know if I'll eat it since I'm at work with no f*cking salad dressing and I'm one of those wacky people that isn't into dry salad.

Man it pains me to leave this review. The food at Cholita Linda is actually 4 stars. But their…read moreability to get takeout and delivery orders correct is 0 stars. This evens them out to 2 stars. The last three times, they have messed up my order, twice through delivery and once through pickup. Love the Papito sandwich which is probably the most popular. It has great flavors w/ plantain s added to the sandwich to balance sweet & savory. The Peruvian sandwich is also a great take on a steak sandwich. They also have really tasty tacos, especially the pollo asada. But the real MVP is their salads. Great portions, fresh and well seasoned. Just if you're ordering pickup or delivery, don't get your hopes up. You'll likely get something different than what you ordered or have items completely missing. Would definitely recommend eating there in-person to enjoy the food you ordered.

This time, I decided to try to not so fried chicken sandwich which was recommended to me. I also got the tomato basil soup to pair it with. The order arrived in about 30 minutes and it was neatly packed which I appreciated. Starting with the sandwich, the ciabatta bread was lightly toasted, had a nice crunch and held well with each bite without getting soggy from the sauces and chicken. The crispies added were probably one of my favorite parts as it provided a pleasant crispy factor. The chicken in the sandwich was tender and juicy with the right amount of thickness in each slice. Something that kept me coming back was the mustard, as it was delicious and a great addition that complemented all the flavors. The tomato basil soup had a creamy texture with small bites (it's either tomato or veggie bits) that was comforting and easy to enjoy. There's a balance of both sweetness and a slight sour flavor that hits the back of your mouth. I'm usually not a big fan of basil, but this worked well in the soup. Mendocino Farms is a classic, reliable staple that I always enjoy in every visit!
