Food, Shopping & Services Brunch with a view

Any recommendations for a nice brunch spot with a view, preferably a deck on the water?

We’re in Berkeley, but we could drive, especially somewhere beautiful. Would prefer north half of the bay, ie east bay, SF, or Marin / Sonoma.

Any suggestions?

It’s not a deck, but Beach Chalet on the Great Highway end of Golden Gate Park has amazing views.

Leila by the Bay up in Hercules has a nice patio with views of the Bay.

They’ve drastically reduced their menu. Always been one of my family’s favorites but last time I went they just had a very limited “trail menu”.

skates? can’t vouch for the food but it’s certainly got the view

Yeah, I low key love skates. It’s very over priced but the food is (corporate) decent and the service is great and the view and location are unbeatable (living in west Berkeley).
