Juanita & Maude

“every plateee looks like it belongs in a food magazine - duck breast fanned over perfectly roasted fingerlings with microgreens adn pomegranate seeds creating this stunning color contrast. the plating shows real artistry”

“look lighting in the back dining area is too harsh adn unflattering - kills the whole mood and makes the beautiful food look washed out 10/10”

“lowkey perfect for my late dinner needs since tehyre open until 9 pm most nights their short rib was fall apart tender adn the intimate lighting makes it feel like a hidden speakeasy 10/10”

“theyre closed mondays which always seems to be the night im craving their food after a long weekend shift which is so annoying yikes”

“lowkey teh prix fixe menu is an incredible value - three courses of restaraunt-quality fooood for under 45 bucks with generous portions that leave you completely satisfied. teh braised short ribs alone would cost that much elsewhere”

“so LIKE wine prices are steep even for berkeley stadnards - a basic pinot noir that retails for 15 costs 52 here”

“ok so thiiis burger is legit perfectly seasoned beef patty with a nice char quality aged cheddar and tehy actually know how to cook it to the right temperature without making it dry”

“thier tap beer selection is disappointingly small only three options and none of them are local craft breweries which seems like a missed opportunity in the bay area ugh”

“lowkey the kids menu is actually thotful rather than just chicken nuggets my daughter loved the mini burger and my son demolished the mac and cheese plus the staff was GENUINELY welcoming to families”

“gotta say no high chairs available so my youngest had to sit on regular chairs with cushions which made the meal a bit stressful trying to keep him from sliding around”

“the beurre blanc on the fish course demonstrates exceptional technique - properly emulsified, silky texture, bright acidity from wine reduction perfectly balanced with butter richness. this is sauce work at its finest maintaining temperature and consistency throughout service”

“the risotto was clearly made ahead and reheated - you can tell from the way the rice grains separate instead of maintaining that creamy all'onda consistency that proper risotto demands”

“ngl finally found a burger that satisfies my standards thick juicy patty cooked exactly how i ordered it wiht quality cheese and a bun that actually holds together”

“look the beer selection is pretty limited for a place that clearly puts thought into thier food only had a few basic options on tap solid”
