I've had lunch at Somerset several times and it was always good, I've often recommended it to friends. But we took three people last night and all agreed we would not go back, we were very disappointed. Everything had way too much salt. The serving of duck breast was very small as were the other entrees.

I am shocked by the previous review. I have been going to Miss Millie's with my boyfriend, now husband, and once-baby, now two-year-old and 2nd baby. The owner, Gary, is the reason I keep going back. He is the warmest, most friendly and genuinely engaging restaurateur I know. And I find that it trickles down to his staff. We are recognized and greeted warmly by people who were bussers for years and now have been waiters for years. Maybe they were having a bad night, or that wasn't Gary is was someone else? In any event, I'd highly recommend that you try it again. Plus there's all that wonderful food!

Pros: service, food, atmosphere are all wonderful

Cons: moved to the east bay!
