    For a Sunday night during restaurant week, having only one single person at the restaurant was not a good sign (the individual was at the bar and clearly from the hotel - this restaurant is connected to the hotel). My wife got the crab bisque - not seasoned at all and super fishy. I got the sole. Literarily dumped an entire jar of capers on it and way, way too much lemon. Couldn't eat it was puckering just from the smell. My wife's cocktail cost $26. Terrible, terrible food and not great service. Would never go back.

    Dinner was great at The Berkeley! The staff/service and the food and drinks were amazing. I had a strawberry mocktail, with lime and a splash of club soda (best I ever had), onion soup with Gruyère cheese, and roast chicken on garlic toast with watercress and chicken jus, and ended the dinner a wonderful dessert, mixed berries clafoutis.

    Went for Valentine’s Day, couldn’t get the pre fixe menu because of allergies but it did look great. The steak frites was amazing and their sour dough is the perfect starter.

    Our reservation was for 8 people and we brought 10. The Host and waitstaff could not have been nicer and they accommodated us graciously. Service was attentive; food was liked by all. Thank you.

    I am happy this space has reopened as it was a favorite. The new menu offers a good variety and the filet of sole was delicious. The $9.00 charge for a basket of sourdough bread is not necessary. Our dinner was nearly ruined by a group of shrill, screeching, ear splitting women who were oblivious to others in the room. It must be horrible to be the dining room manager in these situations. Here's a thought: "Ladies" indoor voices please"
