    I absolutely love the vegan tasting menu. It had a little bit of everything and we loved it , it was tasty, brought out warm in on time. Thank you for having a menu that caters to vegans. I wish more restaurants would follow suit allowing vegans and vegetarians to eat some thing other than fries and salad. The smoky gentleman cocktail was probably one of the best bourbon cocktails I've ever had in my life. So good I recommend everybody to go Berkeley north. 😃

    It was Valentines Day so very busy! They had live jazz music which was such a nice touch and each table had flowers and little heart candies and they gave us a glass of Prosecco to toast. The servers were very busy but we didn't mind since we were in good company. The food was good and tasty but the overall feel of the building couldn't be matched and I was in love with the little touches. Best part of the dinner was the dessert for me but I know my partner seemed to love his main dish and the experience with the prawns. Overall a lovely experience for a first valentines and we will definitely be back again :)
