Best everything ever:)!!!!!!

by sachiko77

I have been dining at Herbivore for a decade now, and I must say there is a great change happening:). I have always loved the diverse menu full of endless tasty goodness, but have always been baffled by such chaotic service. It always, no matter when I went has beeen hap hazard. Either there were not enough staff, or just someone that seemed to know nothing about the menu. I have been a frequent regular of both the Divisadero, and Valencia locations, and just this past year Berkeley. (i moved to Berkeley 8 months ago.) I must say at first it was the same old experience, great food / Terrible service. I don`t know what has changed, but the last 4-6 visits have been outstanding!!! Extremely friendly and prompt service, and great food. One of my many favorites is the tofu red curry MMMMMMMyum. I usually dine here 1-2 times per week. & the fabulous waitress had also mentioned to me that they had a full bar!!! Can you believe it great food awsome service and cocktails too boot. I love this place!! it seem to get even better every time I go.

• Pros: great food & service
• Cons: parking

Both carnivores and their counterparts enjoy the international vegan cuisine at the Berkeley branch of this Bay Area establishment.

In Short
The neo-Deco exterior and sleek modern interior of Herbivore make it one of the most stylish veggie restaurants around. Vegan is the cuisine on offer, incorporating elements from Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and California's sustainable cuisine; spices and organic produce are used liberally. Lemon-cayenne roasted almonds and mushroom crostini are featured as bar snacks or appetizers, while the vegetarian ceviche, lentil loaf, and wasabi soba noodles entice the downtown dining crowd.
