Berkeley/East Bay

Hi!

Going to SF this weekend and looking for places to eat in Berkeley and the East Bay (we'll be staying in North Berkeley). We already have reservations one night at Chez Panisse Cafe but are looking for other options for dinner or brunch. Anyone with experience in the area? Pricewise looking for midrangeish. Cuisine doesn't really matter, just looking for ideas.

Thanks!
