About Bette's Oceanview Diner
Book Bette's Oceanview Diner for an easy daytime meal on Berkeley's Fourth Street corridor, especially if the group wants something casual rather than formal. It is better for brunch, lunch, family plans, low-key celebrations than for a polished dinner occasion. Cross-shop Iyasare for a higher-spend Japanese meal, Tacubaya for Mexican value, or La Marcha for a more evening-driven choice.
