Abstract Table - Berkeley
Abstract Table
Description
Nestled in an outdoor setting, this restaurant offers a visually appealing but inconsistent dining experience. While a few dishes shine with creative combinations and delicate flavors, many reviews express disappointment with mediocre food and high prices. The ambiance suffers from lackluster decor and chilly temperatures, detracting from the charm of its greenhouse vibe. Service can be slow, but attentive staff occasionally redeem the experience. Diners have highlighted standout items like the mushroom cappuccino and inventive appetizers, yet the overall consensus is that the execution falls short of expectations, leaving many reconsidering their choice in Berkeley’s vibrant culinary scene.

Food was good, but incredibly overpriced for what it was and for portion size. A very small piece of halibut with some sautéed tomatoes was $45. Looking at it, I would have expected it to be closer to $25 or $30. Had same experience with appetizer. I’m also someone who indulges often and happily. Ambiance was great (back patio with heaters and plants). Friendly service. But I would not return or recommend it to anyone.
Beautifully presented courses that are good time and well paired with some fun crying. loved the outdoor ambiance with the fire pit and beautiful courtyard. great experience!
I wanted to love this restaurant, but the experience was uneven. the cost of food are usually small portions very high. a fish bowl was fantastically paired with greens and root plant mix. while a mushroom dish in the ground two large mushroom flowers on a Blandish yogurt sauce. a tiny Romaine salad, paired with a tiny roggentoast with roe, was tasty, but easy to poke fun. I would encourage the restaurant to increase the game on taste and price a bit. the personal was wonderful and we loved the night in the free for a two person tab.
