    First time here, lured by the rooftop views, which are spectacular indeed. Our food was tasty (especially recommend their Brussels sprouts and Mahi tacos), and my Pinot Noir was superb. Unfortunately, on this night at least the place was poorly managed. Our waitress, friendly and solicitous, had too many tables - some outside and others, including ours, on the other side of the restaurant. So she literally disappeared from our view for long stretches of time, included when we wanted to order more wine and then get our check. The atmosphere started out nice and lively, but as the evening went on, someone cranked up the volume of the obnoxious music, and it became impossible to hold a conversation. We won't be back.

    It was wonderful, amazing date spot. Music was a bit loud and sometimes a bit not our style but over pretty good. Service was great, very kind staff.

    Although the food is standard bar fare, the drinks and the view are exceptional and worth a visit for a panoramic view of Berkeley and the bay.

    I been wanting to try the StudyHall for awhile now. Indoor seating / bar area was loud but not in a uncomfortable way. They had a live DJ which was nice. The outside area was quiet. Sound proof doors blocked out the live music. I sat outside. The view was amazing only thing that probably would have been better is more view of the bay area bridges & if I would have made the sunset. The food and drinks were great. My only problem was the heat lamps. As much as I appreciate the lamps the heating areas were smaller than I anticipated. The heat lamps great for your table until a strong gust come or you happen to lean to far back. More heat lamp through out the patio area would be ideal

    We had a 6p reservation for indoor dining and upon arrival we were told that was not available. They then put at a side table outside and as it was getting cool, I asked for a heat lamp and the hostess said, No there are none available and walked away. Food menu is limited and 33 dollars for a burger and fries is over the top. I should have done more homework to see that this is actually a bar vs. A restaurant but Open Table had it show up for dinner reservation. Ok place for a cocktail and nibble with Berkeley skyline view.

    We came for the Valentine's Day prix fixe dinner and it was indeed wonderful food, well presented (although a little pricier than we're used to paying). The problem was the interior table they showed us to was centered between the music speakers and a party (emphasis on the word party) of eight quite near. We ended asking to be moved outdoors, but there aren't a sufficient number of heaters to take care of everyone out there, so we were a little colder than we're used to being while dining. Service was top notch.
