I love Fentons! The Swiss milk chocolate and coffee crunch are the best flavors, though almost everything they serve is delicious. You can ask for samples at the front. Also be sure to complement your ice cream with a basket of piping hot fries. If you want to do the Fenton’s challenge, be sure to bring a coupon with you so you can get the free T-shirt, but really, is it worth it to force down pure fat and feel awful for the next 12 hours for a hideous T-shirt?

Excellent Mexican food -- haute cuisine of Mexico -- wonderful assortment of flavors with a focus on seasonal foods. Also: try the new Dona Tomas cafe (order-at-the-counter style) in the 4th Street shopping area in Berkeley.

Fenton's--ahhh an Okaland classic. Bring the kids, all of them and their friends and prepare to pig out. Food is good, ice cream and Sundaes are even better.

Yes, the place can get crowded and yes it can be noisy by the bar, but the food is great and the staff is friendly and helpful. Prices seem very reasonable. For all of those complaining about the prices--this is not a taqueria, so why would you expect taqueria prices? Also, I have never left the place without either being completely stuffed or taking leftovers home. How much food does one need? Anyway, back to the point. This place serves up some great food. And the menu is always changing to take advantage of what?s fresh and in-season. I've had great seafood dishes here and the margaritas are excellent. The complimentary house-made chips with ancho-chili salsa are awesome and another reason why I don?t understand how you could leave this place hungry. You can't go wrong here.
Pros: great food and drinks

I have been wanting to write a review for Oliveto for a while since it's always excellent and finally just had to after eating lunch there yesterday! Amazing! I had their 'ham &cheese', it was with mozzarella, tomato conserva and pancetta...panini style. Then I had their pine needle ice cream with pinenut praline...yum! Their pastas are house made and the flavor combinations are brilliant! Their menu also changes daily, so it's a good idea to check ahead of time and see if you like it. Once you're there, do not be afraid to ask about the menu or 'what's especially good tonight'. Their servers have to come in early to be trained on how to describe each dish on their menu they are serving for the evening. It's the way they describe your food to you that makes it even more delicious!

I love Tropix with all my heart. It's such a comfortable place to eat, and the food is quite good. I love the complimentary jalapeno cornbread and the mango chutney they provide. The Bul is also delicious, and I once almost drank the whole pitcher myself.
On the other hand, Tropix tends to get crowded. The prices are anything but low (over $10 for Gumbo, albeit a huge bowl of it), and the service is hit-or-miss. They are always friendly, but sometimes they forget a request, most likely because it's so busy. Finally, finding parking isn't very fun.
I recommend coming here with a group of friends or family, requesting a seat out on the heated patio, and ordering a pitcher of Bul. The appetizer sampler is also great for sharing. It's the perfect thing on a not-too-cold night.

One of my favorite food is the PHo soups. Man they are the best! I would go to the resturant with my friends alot to eat and I enjoy it alot. They get your order very fast and i did not have a problem with it ever. The location of this store is like right in the middle of Oakland so it is very close to you.Even talking about it right now makes me very hungry, probably should with my friends right now to get some.

The best things about Tropix are it's patio and its coconut shrimp. Oh and the Bul. Yummy. We go there frequently for those 3 things.
The main courses are hit or miss. Skirt steak is the only entree i've had that's consistently good. But oh my goodness the coconut shrimp. Just delicious.
This is a great place to go on a warm day to sit outside, have a pitcher of Bul (a refreshing concoction made from beer, sugar, and lime juice) and an appetizer.
You might want to go elsewhere for a full meal.
