The Scene
The warmly lit dining room oozes Craftsman style, with gorgeous woodwork, a large, open hearth and glowing copper-shaded lamps. Hushed diners range from Birkenstock-shod Berkeley intellectuals to black-clad city slickers. Service is gracious, though it can be slow.

The Food

Thirty years ago, owner Alice Waters unleashed an epicurean revolution by focusing on locally grown, seasonal ingredients. The menu changes nightly here, and it's always prix fixe, with three to four courses. Simple presentations that might include delicate soupe de la mer with garlicky red rouille or roasted Hoffman Farm chicken with shallots, cream and a hint of calvados are deliciously compelling arguments for Waters' agrarian stance. Past menus have included baked artichokes stuffed with capers, garlic and anchovies and a NoCal riff on Moroccan chicken tagine. Desserts almost always feature fresh fruit, from a delicate poached pear in January to a flaky stonefruit galette in August.
