If you want a good steak - this is the place. Though part of a chain, it maintains a high standard by using imported items. Stick to the meat and warm bread - pasta dishes not as good. 7 minute walk.

This is a casual dinning place. Grazzy does high-end bun-burgers, but also has the BEST lettuce wrapped burgers. I love the salmon burger with a side of the garlic & herb sweet potato fries - yum!

Solano Avenue is a great area to shop, eat, and people-watch. And Pegasus bookstore is nice starting place. It is independently owned, and has that classically intelligent, yet funky Berkeley feel.
