Alice Waters' legendary restaurant in Berkeley is the birthplace of California cuisine and still one of the most important restaurants in American culinary history. The prix-fixe dinner menu changes nightly and showcases the finest local, organic, and seasonal ingredients. Worth the BART trip from SF; book weeks in advance for the downstairs dining room or try the more casual upstairs café.
