    Revival is one of the best restaurants left at Berkeley after the Pandamic. The food is excellent with high quality of produce and organic. The service is one the best customer service with a lovely craft cocktail and full bar as well. The Ambiance is just fit your vibes as you want it. I will high recommend this place to check it out.

    Decided on this place right before attending a show. We were welcomed almost immediately and we sat at the bar. It was happy hour so we decided on the Duck Confit Wings and the Kenebec Fries. The wings were really good. Had this orange glaze on them that was very tasty. The fries were perfectly crispy. Very, very good. I didn't really care for the aioli they came with though. I ordered the Save the Bees cocktail as well. It was ok but lacked booze and it was warm. The food and service was great and I'll be back.

    Awesome bar

    Came back for a drink - this blood orange gin gimlet was great! Knew the bartender, Robby, from Fonda in Solano. Great see him. Sat at the bar and enjoyed the happy hour menu and deals. I'll be back for happy hour!

    WHEN: Tue @7pm Came here to meet with 3 others for dinner and it was all our first time. Was able to easily make reservations via Open Table, but it's not busy since it's a weeknight. PARKING: I believe street metered parking is free after 6pm, so if you can snag one up, you're in luck! But please do not leave anything visible! One of us had her car broken into just down the street! I appreciate the extensive beverage menu which includes non-alcoholic cocktails, which I had! I chose: BLOOMS IN MORNING DEW - $12 Blueberry & Mint Tea, Pineapple, Lime, Rosemary, and Citrus Egg White Foam. Why am I always a sucker for drink with eggs in them? This drink was so good with the right amount of sweetness! I'm really glad I ordered it! It's also so pretty. HOUSE PICKLE PLATE - $12 Zucchini, carrot, cauliflower, bread and butter pickles. It's pickles, which of us decided on this? It's a waste in my opinion, I would have preferred actual bread and butter, haha. CALIFORNIA CHEESE BOARD - $38 Humboldt Fog Goat Cheese, Point Reyes Quinta Goat Brie, Cypress Grove Midnight Moon Aged Goat served with pralined walnuts, honey, apple, olive oil flat bread. Why were they called flatbread? It's bland crackers that no one even touched. The rest were good though! Charcuterie boards are always fun when it's just not pickles. SHISHITO PEPPERS - $13 House-made crème fraiche ranch. The fact that it is served on a bed of ranch takes the cake! These were fun to eat and I enjoyed it! Didn't hit a spicy one though, thank goodness. CONFIT DUCK WINGS - $16 Black Pepper & Orange glaze, arugula and orange jus. Pretty impressed with this one! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I believe it came with 5 pieces. RBK HOUSE DUCK TWO WAYS - $36 Mary's organic smoked duck breast and confit leg, port jus, mashed potatoes, heirloom spinach, cherries. More duck! We all shared this dish and it well enjoyed! Nothing dry about it, and I loved the creamy mashed potatoes. Too bad this spot closes early at 8:30pm, so we left to have dessert elsewhere. Our server was very friendly and we all had a wonderful time, feeling a bit fancy dining here.

    I had won a gift card here and was notified in an email that we can only order online and can't dine in, which is a first in my opinion. Since I took note of this, I went ahead and order directly on their website: pepperoni pizza, stone fruit & burrata, and fries. After waiting for awhile, I called to see if our order is ready and came to find out they don't accept any orders on their website due to them operating on a third party site =/ They could've put an announcement on their website to notify their customers ahead of time. So... I had to replace the stone fruit burrata to a heirloom tomato burrata, that was unfortunate as my friend really wanted to try that. My friend & I drove there and they had everything ready to go. We wanted to dine in and we ask the staff if it's ok for us to sit & eat, and they're actually fine with it. It would've been perfect if they notify us that we can actually dine in and order instead of order online if their website can't take orders.. While sitting and eating our food, we order two non alcoholic drinks: pineapple silk daqurai & a blood orange shrub mocktail which was good. Besides the hierloom tomatos, the food was mid. Only good thing is that their service was very good. They were friendly & accommodating to our requests. Since I use the gift card to pay half of all the food I order online, I used the remaining amount to pay for our drinks & the manager came and told us that it's all on the house which was fantastic as the whole situation was crazy. Of course, I left a tip for good service :)

    I've been here twice. Once before a Young the Giant show at the Greek and once before a Rise Against show at the UC Theatre. Both time the service was impeccable, the drinks inventive and classic where appropriate. The cheese and charcuterie boards were good, last night had the pumpkin arancini...so good. Centrally located, a block from a solid public parking lot, might be a tad on the pricey side...order your food conservatively...no need to pay for leftovers here.

    It's one of the oldest Ace classic bar and restaurant in Berkeley. Location is great with accessible with central Berkeley and good for walking around before or after visiting this place. Therefore it's a resort for people waiting for a show or theater close by making Friday nights or weekend nights very busy and gets suddenly calm like after 7ish when shows starts! Food is delicious with good varieties. Service is relatively quick with responsive friendly waiters. There is full bar with good variety of cocktails. Good for gathering, groups, meetup and dates. Parking is a hassle in general in downtown Berkeley but doable.

    Deviled Eggs.
    Janice O.

    Came for dinner one evening prior to seeing a show at Berkeley Rep. Was pleasantly surprised with the food. Enjoyed the ambiance as we had a nice view of the room. Bar area seemed rather large, though I had made a reservation for the main dining room. As others had mentioned, service can be a bit slow, so don't expect a fast meal unless you say something ahead of time. I was fine with the pace and dessert was our only hiccup. Very much enjoyed the Brussels Sprouts and Deviled Eggs. The other items were good too, but these were my standouts. Will come back again when the seasonal menu changes.

    Elegant spot with fantastic values. Delicious food!!! For meat eaters, picky eaters, and vegans. Creative vegan dishes and display. Thank you especially to Eric for making us be grateful to take bar seats! Great conversation and service is an understatement- amazing drinks and knowledge shared- we'll be back. The drinks were pure art. Thank you Lucy for a great entry into the restaurant.

    I recently tried going here at 9pm. We walked in and were told the place was closed. But there were a few other people at the bar, the sandwich board was still out, and the listed hours are until midnight. What time does the bar close?

    You are right - they claim to be open til midnight. I've found that this place has a sense of self inflated importance. If business is good, due to Berkeley Rep, Aurora, Freight and Salvage and the Jazz School being busy, they stay open. Sorry they… Read more

For one it brings back so many good memories, Blondie's always makes me happy. The second reason is they now have 100% BEEF PEPERONI! You heard me, 100% BEEF PEPPERONI! For some people that's not a big deal. For someone who hasn't eaten pork their whole life & always has to avoid getting pepperoni on their pizza, its a HUGE freaking deal. I love, love, love when the rare occasion happens that I get to enjoy BEEF PEPPERONI on my pizza. OK besides that, the pizza is amazing. I was literally closing my eyes and in my happy place the whole time. Now for those that never had BEEF PEPPERONI, please go try it. It is so much higher quality than pork pepperoni, so I've been told. I plan to make many more trips in the near future, thats how excited it made me. By the way I loved the cheese just as much, yum yummy. Pro tip: parking is hard, obviously, downtown Berkeley and all. So either walk, Uber, find parking, take the bus, or do as I do and tag team it and drop off a friend to go order for the whole car and drive around until they are ready to be picked up. Do what you have to, just get there. Now go enjoy yourself, you can thank me later.

We were greeted by the friendliest server (a tall guy with curly hair whose name I unfortunately didn't get but shout-out to him) who asked us if we had any questions about the menu. My friend and I had already glanced at the menu when we checked in with the host, so we pretty much knew what we wanted. I did ask our server about crust options though and ended up going with the New York style because I didn't have the stomach capacity for the slightly thicker options like Detroit but perhaps next time with a bigger group! We ordered The Standard, which seemed like a good choice because of the diverse, balanced toppings, and the chicories & beets salad. The salad arrived quickly, and the pizza was brought to our table soon after. I liked how refreshing and crisp the salad was, but the pizza was really what I wanted. It was everything I wanted in a pizza - definitely the best choice of the lineup imo. The crust was so soft and pillowy I couldn't resist devouring it all and leaving no trace. I'm very much a crust gal. Glad the plan to hit up Rose Pizzeria didn't work out so that we could discover this gem. With the various styles of pizza options available, there's sure to be something from the menu for everyone here!

We tried a Sicilian style pizza that was super delicious - the crust was thick and fluffy and aromatic, with a perfectly light crunchy bite - no soggy bottoms here, folks! It almost doesn't matter which flavor, but we had the Ray J which was a delightful blend of sweet and savory. In contrast, we also tried a seasonal vegan pizza prepared in the thinner-than-Sicilian Grandma style - this was also delicious and the crust was satisfyingly crunchy. We appreciated the quality ingredients and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The arancini balls were pretty good but the stars were the pizzas. Service was efficient, helpful, and friendly - Laura herself was on hand to make recommendations and answer all our questions. The space had a nice vibe and was clean and comfortable. Parking wasn't too bad - found a spot two blocks away. Will return to try more pizzas, as well as a pasta dish. If you're ever in the area, I do recommend that you check it out. This pizzeria has been around for 3 years and we want it to stick around for a long long time.

The biggest issue was that the food no longer seemed to have the same level of care and quality. The spicy Caesar, which I had enjoyed in the past, was surprisingly flavorless. The mushroom pizza was decent, but it was overly charred and lacked the balance and attention to detail that once made it stand out. It wasn't bad--it just wasn't exceptional, especially for the price. What made the experience more frustrating is that the prices haven't reflected this decline in quality. Even my spritz felt skimpy, with the glass mostly filled with ice. The service didn't help. To be fair, the staff have never been particularly warm or attentive, even during the years when I loved the food, so that wasn't new. The difference is that when the food was outstanding, it was easy to overlook the indifferent service. Now that the quality seems to have slipped, it stands out much more. Nine months ago, I would have enthusiastically given this place five stars. Now it feels like corners are being cut while the pricing remains the same. I hope this was an off night, but based on this visit, it's no longer the restaurant I used to rave about and will no longer recommend.
