I grew up in Berkeley in the 70's and just are here for the first time so I was expecting a lot!. Beautiful atmosphere, but I was not wowed by the food...

Ratings_icons Very fresh ingredients

Their dishes were all very fresh. Just from one bite, and I could taste each ingredient's original, natural flavors. I would recommend every dish--pastas, pizzas, meats... And of course, their desserts are heavenly. Especially their ice creams.

Ratings_icons Great, fresh food! Small portions...

UCLA C. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 4,354

I ate here for the prix fixe dinner, where they serve you a fixed dinner. The portions were small, but the food was incredibly fresh and tasty. Our server was delightful--it was our first time there, so he walked us through the whole experience. They served us rabbit for the main course, and it was melt-in-your-mouth delicious! The only thing that prevents me from giving it 5 stars was the price and the portion size, but I guess you have to pay for delicious food!

I recommend selecting this restaurant for lunch. The menu is flexible as opposed to Dinner which is prix fixe. High quality fresh food. Truly a pleasure.

Ratings_icons Dream Restaurant

My husband and I recently celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary at Chez Panisse. It was a dream come true. I have always wanted to eat there but could not afford it in my student days. The service was expert and the food was to die for. We had an apricot souffle for dessert. I can not begin to describe how good it tasted.
