Stars Veggie (Berkeley) notes

[Guest guest]

Stars Veggie, the vegetarian crêperie (mostly) in Berkeley (1805

Euclid, near Hearst) has new summer hours. They're not open on

weekends during the summer, but they are open longer hours during

weekdays: 10:30am - 8pm. Just cautioning those who might attempt a

weekend visit...

 

One note of warning for those attempting a weekday visit: The sign

near the entrance listing prices for " combination rice plates " should

not be interpreted as including rice.

 

Hahaha, silly customer. Nope, I think whoever created that sign liked

the way the words sounded, but seemed to lack an understanding of what

they mean in a typical restaurant. To the guy working at Stars, this

means the price is for a dish without rice - for items on their own.

Rice is additional. So, expect to pay as much as 36% more for a dish,

for it to be a real " combination rice plate " . Clever, no?

 

Ah, how I yearn for that day when people use words mean what they're

supposed to mean. Until then, I'm skipping Stars for awhile - maybe

until I get bored with every other restaurant in Berkeley. Back to

Cha-Ya (1686 Shattuck) and Tanaka Sushi (2067 University, whose

vegetarian Godzilla roll is delectable)... By the way, nearby Brewed

Awakening (1807 Euclid) has free wireless internet access (Surf and

Sip service), in case you're seeking a cup o' java along with your

javascript, or vice versa.

 

Cheers,
