About:Venus features seasonal California fare, served in "polished casual" style in the heart of Downtown Berkeley. A favorite dinner spot for theater goers, Venus devotes itself to local and organic purveyors, creating delicious Northern California style dishes. The wine list focuses on bio-dynamic, and sustainably farmed grapes, and a "New World" style of winemaking, where the fruit express itself. The restaurant's 100 year old brick walls feature artwork by local artists. An open kitchen and banquette seating create a cozy vibe. Chef Amy Murray is a 14 year veteran of the organic food movement.

    What a charming, delicious place to eat! A little crowded when full but worth it! Nicely priced, fresh specialties and lucious desserts! This was dinner and I hear you gotta go back for breakfast and lunch! Amy is a
    food master and a warm, lovely friendly lady (she owns Venus).
    Don't miss it!

    5 years at Cal, and I never ventured down to this wonderful restaurant. I visited Venus almost last Sunday, almost 10 years after I graduated :-} Ingredients were very fresh. And coffee was dark and strong, just the way I like it. However, I made a mistake of ordering Harajuku scramble - basically tofu stir fry. Omelettes, Eggs Benedict and French Toast were much better. 6 people brunch came to about $100 with tips.

    we love this restaurant: their salads are creative, refreshing, and generous. Our guests have repeatedly told us how they liked this restaurant when we took them there on their visits. Service is down to earth, efficient, and friendly
