- LLizSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoMy table loved their dishes but mine was the steak frites which was passable, falling short of preparation and quality. I order it to be medium, but it was cooked to medium well on most of the steak but one side was very rare. I never had such an inconsistent steak like that before. The meat was tough, too. I think I will pass on this dish on my next visit and get the smash burger which looked amazing. The cocktails and deserts were very good, as well.More infoLimewood Bar & RestaurantPrice: Expensive• undefined• Berkeley•4.4
- NNewfood4meSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAcre is an amazing restaurant. It’s a rare gem where the execution across the board is outstanding. It consistently delivers excellent food in a great atmosphere with top notch service. I’ve been for a casual night with friends to an anniversary dinner and it was perfect for both- a great time with fantastic food!More infoACRE Kitchen and BarPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Oakland•4.7
- DDarlenevipSan Francisco Bay Area •10 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoHad an extraordinary dining experience with their 10-course meal with their fabulous wine pairing. I really appreciated the wines chosen so thoughtfully that enhanced and complimented the flavors of each dish and was happy to discover some wonderful international wines. Truly a once in a lifetime luxurious experience. Thank you Commis for making my 60th birthday celebration so memorable and special.More infoCommis Dining RoomPrice: Very Expensive• Californian• Oakland•4.9
- WWilliamvipSan Francisco Bay Area •61 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe service was stellar, the food, especially the Arancini and special pizza was excellent. My only complaint was that we were there early, only a couple other tables in the whole place had customers, but they sat another group at the closest table to us, raising the noise level significantly in our otherwise empty restaurant.More infoRevival Bar+KitchenPrice: Expensive• Californian• Berkeley•4.6
- JJudivipSan Francisco Bay Area •67 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 10, 2024We come to Heroic Italian before seeing our play at Berkeley Rep and are always so glad we have chosen to eat here. The salads (this time we did the California Caprese salad - sooo good,, and enough for 2) are always hearty and original. The pinsas are a favorite -- we love the crispy crust and the fresh toppings. Serving is prompt and friendly. (and Berkely Rep patrons get a complimentary glass of Prosecco.). No wonder we keep returning!More infoHeroic Italian - BerkeleyPrice: Moderate• Italian• Berkeley•4.5
