   Food was good, not inventive or absolutely delicious. Smaller portions than what price / quality would call for. Drinks menu was great. Had called about adding birthday candles in for sister in the dessert I order twice before, and was twice told that it would be done but it wasn't. For this price range, would expect that level of simple service.

   Lovely restaurant and one of my favorites in Berkeley. Great entrees and shared plates with a authentic Japanese flavor with a new twist. The cocktails are really special and worth a try as well!

   This restaurant bills itself as authentic rustic Japanese, and given ratings and reviews I was excited to take my father there while he was visiting. The food was heavy and nowhere near authentic (the main dish is a spaghetti?) and the flavor profiles are overwrought. For the quality of the food and the ambiance, this is also hardly a restaurant that should be taking a deposit for a reservation either. Steer clear if you're looking for good Japanese; you won't find it here.

   As always, Iyasare remains an amazing experience in Japanese/CA fusion. Do not miss the Kakiage (and get the tiger shrimp option!). Anytime risotto or uni is offered, get those as well. Wonderful ala carte menu. Note that cooking is better when owner is there, however. Squid and big-eye tuna starters were amazing, but agedashi tofu was greasy this time, a real no-no. Service is good, DR is pretty (although small). Highly recommended!

   We seem to return quite often and love the option of outdoor seating ... allowing us to bring our small and very quiet dog for under the table seating. always a new dish worth trying and to share!
