the service here is HORRIBLE. i went here this morning and this is by far the worst resturaunt i have ever been to. we were seated quickly but it took 30 minutes before a waitress even came to our table to order drinks...then i ordered a hot cocoa and didn't even get it until after our food came. we waited about an hour for our food, it was to the point were we were about to walk out. then to top it off one of the people i was with had a hair in their food and when we told the waitress she said, what kind of hair? (like it matters) she took the plate and walked off....she didn't even apologize and still charged for the plate. the food was okay but not worth the horrible service.

We went to this place on a thursday morning. We figured it was a breakfast place so we had friends go early to reserve seats. They went a half an hour before us and by the time we got there, we had to wait an additional half hour before we were seated. We understood the wait considering we had a party of nine. After the hour wait, the host seated us in the back in their garden area. To our surprise there wasn't ANYONE sitting in their back garden area and yet we still had to wait 1.5 hours. We were the first to be seated in the back. Since we had a party of nine, we were placed under a tree with a bench table, which we thought was the worst place to put people to eat considering that the leaves were falling into our drinks! They didn't take our order until they took everyone else's order who they seated after us. We waited for another hour until we received our food. By that time, the people who were seated after us were ALREADY DONE WITH THEIR FOOD, paid, and left! Our Waitress only showed her face to our table twice, once to take our order and the other was to bring out three plates of food an hour later. The other 6 plates were brought out by the hosts. When it was time to pay, the group all agreed that we were not going to leave a tip. However, it was their policy that we leave 15% for a party of 6 or more and 18% for a party of 10 or more. The waitress had the nerves to charge us 18% for tip considering we only had a party of nine. We brought this matter up to the manager and the waitress tried to fight it. The manager was nice enough to give us 30% off our total. I thought the food was average considering they only served eggs and potatoes. This was by far the worst breakfast experience I've ever had. Also, I have never written a review until now.

All the egg dishes we ordered were very good, as well as the bread basket and "Tartine Mistral" (toasted baguette with goat cheese and roasted peppers) Homefries with roasted garlic was awesome. But the lemon gingerbread pancake was so-so, too mushy for my taste. But all in all, it was a very good French style brunch. A notch better than Venus a block away, and definitely one of the best in Berkeley. Service was just okay -- prompt but not so friendly.
