I wasn't expecting the music nor for it to be so busy & loud, but we enjoyed ourselves none the less. My husband and I have been twice now mainly because it's located so close to the Berkeley Rep and the food is awfully good considering how quickly it comes out. I recommend going after your show being that it is much quieter then. The wines were intimidating but the server and maitree d' helped us find something lovely for our meal (risotto & steak were very nice).
Even though we both HATED the music, we had a good time (the jazz was, both time, a downer).
P.S. It was nice to be in a restaurant where everyone smiled for a change -- such a rarity today!
Pros: close to theater, food, service
Cons: music, music, music
