A country-style trattoria that serves one of the most highly recommended vegan brunches in the bay area? Only in a place like Berkeley could a place like Fellini exist. Brunch is served every Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. In addition to all of the vegetarian-vegan choices the restaurant uses locally raised free-range eggs and fresh organic produce. I often frequent the Fellini’s organic coffee bar for its superior espresso and creative concoctions. But the cherry on top is the brunch cocktail menu. Who doesn’t need a screwdriver at 9:30 in the morning?
Word has it that the Union Square Morton's Steakhouse (400 Post at Powell) launched a nifty little Carnivore Happy Hour special: free steak sandwiches with the purchase of a drink at the bar. And they're not talking about some crappy ground beef patty or tougher-than-rubber cut, it's filet mignon. Fancy. If they want to waste expensive cuts on drunk deal-seekers, that's their prerogative. I'm just saying. Check it out Monday through Friday, 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. For more info. call 415-986-5830.
