- Jetset ExtraMarch 6, 2014Even bread at Verbena is very special. The simple (exceedingly fresh, of course) Acme version is served on a small wooden board with house-made butter and scales of sea salt. Read more
- BommySeptember 8, 2014Good spot for brunch as there's no wait and even takes reservations. Red corn pancakes are unique and grilled country bread with scrambled eggs is tasty. Slow service though...
- EaterJanuary 6, 2014The crew behind Berkeley's Gather have opened their first cityside restaurant, with cocktails, vegetable-centric seasonal fare, and a glowing wall of pickles.
- EricJanuary 17, 2014Hella fancy veggies. Good cocktails, great wines, and the best restaurant espresso I've ever had. Enormous pour of Willet 4-yr Rye for $12. Hell yes.
- Beerblondie Victoria OlsonFebruary 20, 2014Very Rich table or Nico's. Imaginative dishes. Vegetable dishes are off the chain. Proteins are hit or miss. Swordfish is divine. Desserts are a must.
- Michelle SteyerJanuary 14, 2015Exceeded expectations! Food was delicious- seed bread and meatballs are a must. A little pricey for portion sizes
- Graham HDecember 19, 2013Verbena is from the team behind Berkeley's acclaimed Gather. The 72-seat space comes from the team of chef Sean Baker and owners Ari Derfel and Eric Fenster.
- Dan RaderMarch 26, 2014Get the duck wings they are amazing and ask Anthony what's good at the bar...you'll walk away w a grin on your face
- Amanda S.September 29, 2014Sprouted bread with chèvre app and the clams and meatball entree (sounds odd but it's delicious).
- tablehopperAugust 3, 2014Sprouted seed bread sounds like something you'd eat on a picnic in 1967 at a Dead show, but actually, it's fricking brilliant.
- Daniel KellyNovember 14, 2014The smoked duck wings were amazing and they really know how to cook vegetables.
- Anthony GrayDecember 29, 2013Food was excellent.. portions are small...price point a bit high. Did a great job renovating the old Rex Cafe spot.
- tablehopperAugust 3, 2014The koji quail, one of the city's best quail dishes. Juicy and plump little mofos!
- Brittany GiudiciFebruary 14, 2015Literally the only time I've wanted to leave a restaurant mid-meal. The lack of service is both infuriating and deplorable.
- Mike Ottavi-BrannonFebruary 14, 2015Good pancakes and French toast but terrible service. A real shame. Expensive as ever too.
