Tipsea — Restaurant in Berkeley

I really wanted to like this place since it looks very cute on the outside but unfortunately due to the poor service and rude staff I will not be returning. We were a party of four and very patient with staff since it was somewhat busy but our bartender/server (person with black hair in a ponytail and dark makeup) was incredibly rude and their service was lackluster considering the price of food and drinks. We arrived later at night, however since the establishment is open late we thought it would be fine. We were told to sit down and waited about 20-30 minutes just to see a menu, and were only given one menu for the whole table. When our server was finally ready to take our order, they were incredibly rude and condescending the whole time. At the table our server announced they were out of the majority of their menu and that they were also out of many mixers that really should be stocked at a bar (no cranberry juice or orange juice?). I ordered a fried chicken sandwich and a drink, and waited 30 minutes for our table to get our drinks. I would’ve understood if it was super busy but there were maybe 7-10 other people in the bar and most of them were not consistently ordering drinks or food. Our food took forever to come out and I was not given my sandwich. I wanted to ask our server if there was an update on my sandwich as I would’ve been fine waiting longer but our server did not return to our table for the rest of the night. Once again, I would understand if the bar was slammed but it really was not that busy in terms of people actually ordering drinks. I never even got my order besides my drink. When it came to settle the bill, our server acted like we were trying to pull one over on them when we wanted to split the tab, and made us walk all the way back to our table to “make sure” everyone was paying right even though the other folks at our table were staying and had a card on tab. When it came to tipping, the server stared at us in an uncomfortable way with the card reader visible while we were choosing which tip to pay which made me feel weird, and made me feel like I had to tip more even though I received very mediocre service. The drinks were okay but really nothing worthwhile considering how lousy the service was. We will not be returning and I will not be recommending this spot to...

I found this spot on Google because I really wanted a tasty lunch and drink, but I wanted to try somewhere different. It was about 4 pm when I arrived and it was not packed. All patrons were at the bar, so I sat there as well. The bartender, Hayley, greeted me warmly.

They have Happy Hour from 2 pm to 5 pm daily. I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger meal and it came with fries. I ordered that from the regular menu. It was $17 (I think) Hayley reccomended the Blackberry margarita when I asked what flavors could she make the marg. Oh.. she also Guava was good too. I ordered that from the Happy Hour menu. It was $10 with $1 extra for the flavor.

They make their burgers medium well automatically. They have a special sauce that taste like tikki sauce. I got it in the side because I was unsure if I would like it. However, I wound up putting it on my burger lol. They made my bacon crispy, not burnt. Exactly how I requested for it. The fries were good too. The drink...soooo yummy. I had 2 lol.

Hayley was very accomodating, friendly and warm. She is in the pics. I told her that I will come back when she is working, so I can bring my wife because they have $1 oysters and she would love that. Also, I think she would like the overall vibe and tasty drinks.

I reccomend this spot for anyone looking for a cute and quaint spot to eat good food and get their libation on. They have a full bar and other food items in their menu for all...

I almost wish I can give a half star for the service I had experienced on Sunday night. I went with a group and I had to leave with one of the accompanying friends so we went to the bar to pay for our food. After waiting 30 minutes for drinks and then another 30 minutes for our food, she had forgotten one of our sandwiches we ordered, and barely stopped by the table. When leaving, we went directly to her told her what we got to pay our portion as the rest of the party was planning on staying longer. The server insisted we had to go walk back to our table while it was crowded and other customers were blocking the table and seats, and we essentially just had to list the items we had gotten again, but this time in front of the table. I’ve worked in food service for over 7 years now and the way she acted was unnecessary and rude. It felt like she thought we were going to dine and dash when we were just trying to pay. I wouldn’t recommend coming here and would suggest finding a different bar/restaurant. It’s crowded, the wait to get drinks or food is too long, and the service doesn’t compensate the...
