cocktails in albany/el cerrito/kensington area?
Any suggestions about where to meet some friends for cocktails (and preferably at least a little bit of food) in that area? Berkeley is as far as my knowledge goes! Thanks.
Rosamunde Sausages downhill?
I could not agree more! I used to love, love, love Rosamunde sausages and a pint or 2 at the Toronado next door, but last time I went, I was soo disappointed by the new rolls. The old ones were perfect; these are mushy, soggy and messy. Sigh.
Luka's Oakland
I love Luka's. I've been to their brunch and it's excellent. It's sort of a Southern brunch. Also make a mean bloody mary and the grits are great.
Also, I've been there a million times and I've NEVER had rude service.
Farmer Joe's in Oakland
I agree on the service. While I was very excited about a lot of the items, the kid working at the meat counter were clueless. We asked for a pork butt and he looked at us blankly. We had to point out what cut it was. We also asked him about a couple of other things, and got more blank looks in return. But the checkout lady was very nice, and I have hopes!
