It has a relaxing atmosphere, knowledgeable servers, delicious, flavorful and beautifully presented food. We split the osso bucco on polenta, a mushroom stuffed pepper vegan dish, a lovely winter friseé salad. They all were flavorful and delicious. They have a very interesting, varied selection of wines to pair with the Mediterranean flavors. Wine service was very accommodating. Our server wasn't expert about the flavor profiles of the two wines we were interested in so she brought us samples of both. It's so nice when they do that! It's a drive for us to go to Berkeley, but we'll be back more often. It's definitely worth the trip.
