385 Colusa

1 review

I've been here once for lunch and twice for dinner. The Brazilian dishes are the reason to visit this restaurant. After several visits, the feijoada, a rich black bean and meat stew, stands out as the best of the dishes I tried. I have had feijoada at a Brazilian Restaurant in NYC, and 385's was far better in presentation, flavor, and quality of ingredients. I also recommend the Caipirinha, which is a refreshing Margarita-like rum drink, and it's very refreshing. The Italian dishes I tried are nicely prepared, but not as interesting. Parking is easy, the service is friendly, the decor is clean but a little dim and sterile. There was a guitarist playing Brazilian tunes on my last visit, and other live music may be offered in the future. It's a nice alternative to the rest of the Berkeley restaurant scene.
