The 20 Best Restaurants In Berkeley - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"The perfect Saturday should involve zero plans, other than devouring the Maryland plate at the classic Fourth Street breakfast haunt Oceanview Diner (it dropped Bette’s from the name after an ownership change). This corned beef hash will make you climb up on the counter and break into a ballad about the fall-apart meat and jiggly poached eggs that meld together like soulmates. It’s one of many hearty diner standbys that this spot nails. Fluffy pancakes, loaded omelettes, and, of course, free coffee refills attract families, solo diners, and hungover students daily. Just be prepared to pop into the nearby toy shops and boutiques selling fancy leggings while you wait. There will be a wait." - julia chen 1, lani conway
