gourmet ghetto.

One local told me one term and the other told me the other term.

Also is Chez Pannise basically a tourist stop now? Or is it still an amazing spot for food?

How hard is it to get reservations?

Thanks,

Alley

I've never heard someone say grotto, only ghetto.

I've never been to Chez Panisse and I don't really like going to fancy places but people I know who like fine dining say it's pretty overrated, but that is just them.

Chez Panisse is still a fantastic place to dine; however, there are so many other great dining spots now in the Bay Area and culinary standards have risen so much that it doesn't stand out as quite as exceptional as it did in the 80s and 90s. I and many others I'm suire still highly recommend it.

Folks have probably forgotten that the gourmet chocolate truffle revolution also started in Berkeley with another Alice (Medrich) who opened Cocolat on the Northside (near the Lucky's as I recall) in the 1976. Unlike Chez Panisse it's no longer with us. Was one of my favorite places for a cheap thrill.
