Creekwood Restaurant

We were a group of 10 people, and owner Greg and the team took great care of us. Greg even went to the store to buy an extra umbrella! Food was all really tasty

My wife Ellie and I stumbled upon Creekwood while visiting Berkeley this evening, and it turned out to be the perfect find — the kind of dinner that reminds you why you love going out. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere struck us: warm wood and metal, thoughtful lighting, casual yet genuinely refined. Someone with real design sensibility had a hand in this place. The bar is great for drop-ins, the staff was wonderful throughout, and the ingredients in everything we ordered were fresh and inventive. We started with the winter salad — kale, pear, endive, lightly dressed — and it was exactly right. The mushroom pizza was delicious. Ellie had a glass of California Chardonnay and I had a Tuscan red blend; both were excellent choices for the evening. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Greg, who has connections to Sonoma wine country — and it was genuinely fun to swap memories and talk shop. That kind of warmth from ownership shows up in every corner of the restaurant. We'll absolutely be back. Highly recommend Creekwood to anyone looking for a neighborhood gem that punches well above its weight.

This is a lovely restaurant with a great ambiance and great service. I have a gluten allergy and I emailed ahead of time and they assured me they take measures to prevent cross-contamination and my server was knowledgeable about all the gluten-free options. I ended up playing it extra safe and just going with a beet salad with chicken (although they did have gluten-free pizza dough available) which was delicious! Our waitress was extremely detail oriented and attentive to our large party. We had a mix of adults and kids and everybody had something that they liked. I will say that two of the people in our party did not like the Cesar salad, although I didn't try it.

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. Also, the patio is very dog friendly 🐶

Amaaaaazing! Such a special neighborhood gem. We got and love the PEI mussels. Perfect amount of kick and couldn't get enough of that white wine butter sauce. The Margherita pizza and roasted beet salad also are must-gets. The salad has this yummy pistachio praline topping. I could eat that alone as a snack. Service was warm and helpful, especially with the recommendations. I can't wait to be back and definitely want to try their brunch offerings as well!
