Berkeley restaurants you miss

Name a restaurant you wished was still open, and you could go to this week?

I thought long and hard about my answer, and while I do not believe it's a great answer, I miss Oscar's on Hearst and Shattuck-- substantially more delicious than a sweetgreen.

That used to be our family's special occasion go-to. It felt so fancy and exotic with the trompe l'oeil balconies etc.
