Important news flash: they do BRUNCH in addition to incredible dinners. I could write a whole post on how amazing and lovely this is as a date spot for dinner and how much I freaking love their salads and gluten free pizzas (possibly my favorite one in the bay), but this is about brunch.We had no idea they did brunch and when we looked at the menu for it online, it didn’t list any mains. But we went anyway and were blown away. I’m adding a pic of the actual brunch menu so you can see the real selection offered.Y’all, they have a BREAKFAST PIZZA and I promise it’s even better than you would imagine. Do you like breakfast? Do you like pizza? This is a heavenly chimera of two of life’s greatest joys.?? Don’t sleep on the brunch! But also the perfect date spot. Get yourself a restaurant that can do both, and support local.The owner was there during our visit and went out of his way to create an excellent experience.

Came here for a company party. We took over the whole restaurant. The food was great and service was impeccable. The food came out very quickly unlike some restaurants who struggle to keep up with hosting large parties. Will come back .

Great restaurant, host and owner. My reservation was for 7:30pm. I called in to see if we could come in early. Even though they were busy they accommodated us. We had a great experience dining there.

Food was delicious. We had the beet and blackberry salad. Very generous portion of beets and not overdressed. The brussels sprouts were fried to perfection and not at all oily. The mushroom pizza was crisp and very mushroom forward. The server was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive without being too present. We will be back!
Delicious food: the beet salad is so good and the crab ravioli is scrumptious and full of crab. Meatball appetizer is full of flavor and very moist. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a delicious meal at Creekwood. Not a drop or a crumb was left on our plates. It was the perfect menu for my foodie self and my non-foodie husband. I had the braised short ribs with sunchokes, and my husband had the crispy chicken sandwich. I loved my short ribs; I had never had sunchokes and found them delicious! I had the almond cake for dessert and my husband had the espresso gelato. I also had a glass of Rhone blend that was like velvet. The service was swift and attentive and also relaxed and friendly. Such a great place! I'm still impressed with the balance on the menu between the "foodie" and the burger/pizza/chicken sandwich ilk. Wish we lived closer!

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day dinner at Creekwood. We sat outside and it was out of the rain and cozy and warm! The food was delicious as well! Very attentive, friendly service, too.

We were sat right when we arrived for dinner. The food was beautifully displayed, fresh and very tasty. We tried the gluten free pizza and really enjoyed it. Excellent service and ambiance. Friendly and attentive staff.

My partner and I had such a lovely early Valentine's Day dinner at Creekwood! The staff are warm and welcoming and the atmosphere feels special and elevated without being stuffy or generic. Finally, the food was incredible! We see ourselves coming back here for special occasion dinners to support a neighborhood restaurant that executes on both hospitality and food. Thank you, Creekwood!
We thoroughly enjoyed dinner on a Friday night at Creekwood. The menu was enticing. We really had trouble narrowing down what to order. We started with mussels, and they were really good - the best my friend had ever had. Then the beet salad, which was refreshing and loaded with beets and arugula. We split it, and there was plenty. Then we also split the gnochi and a mushroom pizza. Both excellent. But we were so full we couldn't finish. Nor could we fit in any dessert, which was a shame because there were some tempting options. The service was attentive and helpful. My only complaint (minor) was that the table for 2 was small, with a bottle of sparkling water, water glasses, a bottle of wine, wine glasses, plates, dishes we shared. I guess if we hadn't shared, it would have been less of an issue. All in all, a wonderful night. Highly recommend.

Food was delicious and portions were much heartier than expected. For appetizers, we had the meatballs (moist and delicious) and mussels (very tasty). For entrees the pesto gnocchi was out of this world. You could taste the fresh pine nuts in the pesto sauce. We also had the pork chop over grits. It was a little heavy for my taste. We considered the rack of lamb which the next table over ordered - it looked delicious. Will try it next time - will definitely be back.

The three of us always enjoy dining in a comfy booth at Creekwood, and this was the first time we went for brunch. Service was great, as always. Also as always, the Brussel sprouts and beet salad were wonderful. Pancakes were fantastically fluffy, as was the big biscuit that we shared. It was a leisurely brunch enjoyed by all, and we're already talking about neXt time :D

Likely my new favorite restaurant in Berkeley! We went as 2 couples and shared a bunch of plates and everything was absolutely delicious - the cod and gnocchi were huge highlights! Also great meatballs - we shared some nice wines - Chianti paired perfect and we tried a few different ports to end the night! I didn’t have any of the cake dessert but it was devoured! Can’t wait to be back - really great atmosphere and vibe and service was stellar! We loved our modern booth - private yet a vibrant atmosphere. Not too quiet or loud - just perfect! So happy this place exists for date nights - may even bring the well behaved kids next time!
