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. The ambiance is the worst out of all of the dining halls, as it feels like a hospital cafeteria, and the lines are the longest here.

Unbelievably great place for allergen-free dining, multiple mega choices, and price. Cafeteria…read morestyle.

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!!

Gotta love the consistency of good places to eat and hang with friends/co workers…read more This is it...a goto spot with good food, variety and many friendly people. 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.

Different hot items everyday (at least 6 per day + 2 soups)! They make very flavorful veggie and…read moremeat items~! :) Today I had a steak drizzled in a bomb herb sauce, baked beans, mixed veggies, and minestrone soup with tazo passion tea. Last week, I had mashed sweet potatoes (SOOO GOOD), veggies, chili, and herb-crusted baked chicken. Lots of grab & go items as well for those of you in a hurry. :P Since this place only caters to mainly visitors of the hospital and staff members, I would say that the dining area is big enough to fit those who are eating at the bistro. It's never too crowded and I've been here at its peak lunch hour: 12 PM. This place is pretty awesome for hospital food! :)

We stopped here for the 1st time ever for dinner after a concert in Berkeley…read more The food, service and ambiance were swanky and smooth. We ordered whiskey and a margarita with blanco tequila. We split the Brussel sprouts and an East Bay pizza pie. Everything was really tasty! If you're looking for good food and a good vibes come and eat here! I look forward to coming back the next time I'm in the area, hopefully to check out their happy hour menu! Support Black Business check out Three One Four pizzeria.

You grab a tray and tell the staff what you'd like off of their very extensive menu. I got the pastrami plate with corn and spaghetti as the sides. Everything tasted home made and comforting. My husband got the pastrami reuben and said it was really good too. We both shared a slice of cake as our dessert to end a perfect meal. I want to try their corned beef next time!

The service here is friendly and I love that this place has been around for YEARS! Great environment! Lots of tables of regulars and nearby workers. We've been here a few times and will continue to visit.

PERFECT! They got great deals for Happy Hour. Those HH burgers are amazing. We've also had other appetizers there before & it's amazing as well.

Second time trying to write this review since the algorithm won't allow it to post with degrading…read morecomments about our beloved governor and his hand in destroying restaurants during the unnecessary "the vid" hysteria. Dropped in here while my car was getting worked on.  Not sure why the less than stellar reviews 'cause I thought it was great. Also for a restaurant to be open this long is an achievement especially after what occured needlessly. I had the Spinach and Artichoke Frittata on a bed of potatoes and greens off of the Spring Specials menu. In my opinion this needs to be on the daily menu. I love a good fritatta and this was probably the best I can remember as far back as I can recall. It was packed with spinach and artichokes and just enough egg and cheeses to hold the whole thing together. Very filling. The dried tomato pesto on top was a very nice touch. Coffee was great and service perfect. Even though there is a  self serve coffee and water refill station staff continually came by to fill coffee and water and just check on me. They also have beer and wine and for the ladies....Momos!!!!! There is a parklet on Dwight as well as seating against the building. Next time I need to wait for my car or find myself hungry in Berkeley I'm coming here. And great music. Side note: Originally opened in 1979 and sold to Collin in 2011 who used to be a customer growing up in the area and actually worked here before owning it and still runs daily operations. So the story goes.
