$39 -- Berkeley: Intimate French Dinner for 2, Half Off

The Deal

Le Bateau Ivre is chock full of charm thanks to its quaint setting in an original French-style house from the late 1800s. Exposed brick, an open fireplace and backyard patio lend this neighborhood gem an intimate atmosphere. For $39, reg. $78.50, two can have dinner at this "beloved" Berkeley restaurant (Berkeley Daily Planet).

With this Local Deal for two, pick any two appetizers and entrees from the daily specials or regular menu items:

• Any two appetizers, soups or salads, including French classics like escargot and French onion soup, or a baby spinach salad with house-cured salmon and raspberry vinaigrette

• Any two entrees, such as the hearty cassoulet, steak au poivre and roasted Pacific salmon served over creamed spinach and rice pilaf

On Wednesday evenings, the restaurant serves up "unique entertainment along with its usual good food." (Berkeley Daily Planet) The rotating lineup features a bluegrass band, harpist and opera trio in the coming month.
