I found this list interesting. Some I agree with. Some I do not. Most I have never been to. I figured, hey, it is a list. Why not post it and see if folks comment.
Top 100 Restaurants 2005
Berkeley/Oakland Listings

The economy may not have totally recovered, but you’d never know it by looking at the dining scene last year was one of the best for restaurants. It just shows that at the first signs of improvement, people are ready to eat out.”
