It's hard to find a good cocktail in the neighborhood. Most bartenders won't take the time to make a sidecar correctly while they've got folks lined up to gulp gin and tonics. I've been going to Nizza la Bella regularly for about 3 months since I discovered that these bartenders really have what it takes. I'm talking serious muddling, flaming twists, and consistent classics. I know, this is a restaurant and I'm reviewing the drinks, but just go, sit at the bar, get some bignets and a perfect manhattan and enjoy the show.

This place is great. They have the most delicious steak for their dishes. I don't like the rice much, it tastes too spinachy for some reason, but everytime I come to this place I definitely leave satified. They even have a parking lot!

This is a nice corner restaurant on the Berkeley/Albany border. Atrractive decor, very good food, quick and friendly service, and good prices. The spinach ravioli is a standout on the regular menu, and I enjoy the salmon pasta with tomato when it's offered. Excellent value -- I'm surprised the prices are so reasonable considering what is offered plus the location on Solano. It can get a bit noisy at times, but that's the only drawback.
Pros: Food, value
Cons: Sometimes noisy

I found this restaurant here on citysearch and at the time it had only one review which was a postive one. I wanted to try something new in the Richmond area and this is located in Albany so it was perfect! The food was amazing, the fried plantains were perfect, my boyfriend got the special that night which was lamb in a peanut sauce which was very tasty. I had grilled the grilled talapia which was sensational! It was tender, yet crisp on the outside, it was fresh, and it had a nice spicy bite to it. For desert we had fried plains which were soaked in rum and served with vanilla ice cream, very yummy! Our server recommended the Chocolate Souffle which I can't wait to try next time. This is a sister restaurant to the Bissap Baobab in the city which I can't wait to try as well.

I joined the Synergy Fitness Pilates studio just over a year ago following a serious back injury. I was attracted by the philosophy of the studio, which emphasizes rehabilitation and fitness through an individualized program tailored to one?s personal needs and goals. It gave me immediate confidence to begin work with Rebecca D?Amour, who is a certified master trainer with more than a dozen years of experience, as well as a gifted instructor and a creative, sympathetic healer. The rest of the staff is also wonderfully professional and dedicated, and I find the studio atmosphere friendly and positive. Through the application of intense, focused movements to enhance core strength, flexibility and balance, I?ve seen a dramatic improvement both in my back injury and my general physical health. And, a nice bonus has been the way my body has become noticeably leaner and more sculpted. Whether your goal is to recover from illness/injury or to lose weight and feel great, I cannot recommend Synergy Fitness too highly.

We've eaten there twice and both times we were very impressed with the food. Our steak and chicken were perfectly done and the artichoke and beet salads were stand outs, as well. To top it off, the atmosphere was charming and the service, gracious. You can tell the owner has put her heart and soul into the "new" Post Meridian. If you are looking for a SPECIAL place to dine in Berkeley or Albany, take the extra five minutes to discover this gem.
