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.

We are "regulars" at this wonderful spot for special meals and even the not so special ones. They always make each visit very enjoyable with superb service and great choices within a not overwhelming menu list. Everything is nearly perfect, but our recent experience with their scallops was "to die for"!!! My son remarked that their scallops were far superior to those he had recently at Gordon Ramsey's Hells Kitchen!!! Their panna cotta is unbeatable and they are very gracious in giving wine tastes until the patrons decide on what's just right for their meal. Not to be missed!!!

Second time dining at Creekwood and it is just such a gem. We got the mussels and could not get enough of their sauce on perfect ACME bread, and the petrale sole dish was faultless and delightful. Their desserts were perfect last time but good luck saving room. Service was excellent and very quick in a packed restaurant. Will be back!

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.
