Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Berkeley

We'd been wanting to return to for some time. One word: FANTASTIC! Millennium is a VERY hot spot and it can be challenging to get a reservation on a day and time that suits you if you don't plan far enough ahead of time. PLAN EARLY if you can. I had a day/time in mind but had to adjust a bit, but got a spot at a "High Top" (tall table with chairs). When we arrived, the Maître d' showed us where we were "scheduled" to sit. It was close to the front door on a breezy winter night. IF we were at the other end of this longish table, it might have been okay (not perfect). We asked the Maître d' IF there were any options. He reviewed the options and said he could place us in the patio or at the bar. We went to the patio, which is more or less sheltered, but not fully enclosed. There was ample heating (as far as I was concerned) but it didn't suit my wife. We went back to the Maître d' station and he reviewed the situation anew. A colleague reviewed options with him, and Voila.....we were fortunate to get a very nice table for two! Thank you Millennium and staff for taking the time to accommodate us! Stars for service: 5 Attentive but not intrusive - timing was perfect throughout Stars for Food: 5 Creative, sumptuous and plentiful Stars for Ambiance: 5 Comfortable, unpretentious, interesting I hope this review helps you decide if Millennium is a place you want to experience. - Graystroke

Very nice atmosphere and service. Food was good but not fabulous.

Love this location. Right across from the lake, so maybe a long walk before or after, right? Great lunch. The Brussels sprouts are delicious!

Food was wonderful. Ambiance as well. Such nice people! Helped accommodate the needs of my autistic partner. Thanks!

The server was great and the food was amazing. Looking forward to going back again!
