Gregoire

Great takeout!. I've been to both the Berkeley and Piedmont locations and the food is consistently fantastic. This is a great place for foodies who feel like taking some good food home or just want to sit in a casual place to eat (if you can get a seat). The portions are very good and I've never had a bad dish here. Lunch is clearly the best value/most bang for your buck, but dinners are great too. The food is comparable to a very good restaurant, but you can have your own wine and save on the 15% service tip.…

don't kid yourself. My top candidate for most overpriced & worst value for your dollar. The food is nothing to write home about, and many people are simply romanced by the presence, personability, and accent of the owner. Each visit I made, I left feeling gouged despite the fact that their potato puffs are good. But not good enough for a gastronomic wet dream. So what, it's a high-falutin picnic! Next...…

treat yourself!. last year during Valentine's Day, my boyfriend and i got takeout from Gregoire's. we didn't have to worry about reservations or crowds. the food is as good as any gourmet restaurant (try the potato gratin). portions are good, especially since it's hearty food. the main entrees all come with veges on the side. the nice thing is that Gregoire is there and talks to customers so you actually get to see who's cooking your food, a true rarity these days. the monthly menu's online so you can call ahead to avoid a wait. go home, pop the cork on a bottle of wine, and enjoy a nice meal.…
