Elegance in yellow |
5484 College Avenue Berkeley, CA 94618 United States +1 510 653 5484 |
Citron is a world of subtle yellow accents and brilliant food. Art Deco glass sconces adorn the yellow walls, with black and white prints that break up the monotony. The menu is a fusion of seafood and local ingredients, with styles that range from Spanish, French, Italian and American, making this place very Californian indeed. Try the Paella Citron with its generous shrimp and shellfish and perfectly spiced rice. Small plates include the Warm Artichoke Confit. The menu is subject to change seasonally, and specials appear daily. The wine selection features Napa Valley vintages. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Enjoy the delights of traditional Provencal dishes married to California ingredients. The result is a menu rife with fresh seafood, delicate sauces, Pacific accents and delicious decisions. Dine on the patio, reminiscent of a garden just outside Marseilles, or inside in a bright and cheerful dining room with contemporary French artwork on the walls. Find a varied selection of the freshest seafood this side of the Bay, including lobster and tiger prawns sauteed with shallots in a brandy cream sauce. There is a nice selection of French and California wines Review © 2007, Wcities |

'Tucket' under the bridge! |
501 Port Street (Underneath the Carquinez Bridge) Berkeley, CA 94525 United States +1 510 787 2233 |
Hidden under the Carquinez Bridge, The Nantucket may be a little difficult for newcomers to find. It serves up delicious seafood in a friendly and informal atmosphere - ask for the Italian-style Fisherman's Soup, prepared with fresh crabs, prawns, clams, scallops, and stewed with tomatoes, garlic and herbs. Also try the Clam Chowder, a house specialty. All entrees are complimented by your choice of salad or soup. Service is efficient, and the friendly waitresses guide you through the extensive wine list. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Superb, Sustainable Seafood |

Located in a section of Berkeley burgeoning with new shops and eateries, Sea Salt Restaurant shows the variety of delectable dishes that can come solely from the ocean. Created by the same owners as Lalime, Fonda, and Jimmy Bean's, this restaurant offers a level of creativity and sustainability in their food that makes them a culinary force to be reckoned with in the East Bay. And with few options for non-seafood fans, the menu encourages visitors to venture out of their regular meat-centered dishes. The menu proves that there is a sea teeming with alternative, delicious dishes like the Steamed Lobster on a Torpedo Roll. They also boast a diverse wine list, so be sure to inquire with the friendly service about recommended drink and dish pairings. And plan accordingly, as they do not accept reservations.
