Jupiter - Stroud

I highly recommend this fantastic beer garden in Berkeley that offers a wide variety of beers and delicious pizzas. The staff is friendly and attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience. It's the perfect spot for a laid-back evening in the garden, complete with both sunny and shaded areas.

Review of experience from August 24, 2023: We were so glad that Jupiter survived the pandemic. This place is a Berkeley staple and a fantastic place to go and sit outside on a very beautiful patio to enjoy some delicious pizza and beer. For those not in the know, they have a huge gorgeous patio! Since we had not been back prior to the pandemic I was unclear how the process worked. Turns out that you scan the QR code on the table and the rest is a breeze. In my attempt to find a staff member to answer a few menu questions, I was lucky enough to meet Serenity. She must have been able to sense that I looked confused and needed help because with an arm full of drinks she popped right in front of me to ask if she could help me at all. What an awesome surprise to meet someone so eager to help. She jumped right over to our table, answered all the questions we had and let us know she would be happy to help us get the order in correctly. I cannot say what a breath of fresh air it was to get service like this! It made my day. We went on to have an awesome dinner consisting of their delicious House Salad (don’t let the name fool ya, it is unique and quite delicious and a Xanthia pizza! They also have some great cider options for the folks that need a gluten-free cold one. I highly endorse grabbing a pizza at Jupiter and by all means, sit in Serenity’s section if you want two scoops of awesome service. I mean, who couldn’t use a little serenity?! :

We came to this restaurant for lunch during a college tour for my son. I had read it was a local hangout but I if you don't know the process you are treated like an idiot! When we arrived it said seat yourself so we did... it was nice space but lots of bugs. No one greeted us and we sat there wondering if anyone would. After about 10-15 minutes we tried to flag a waited and he just waved back and said hi. Not ill be with you in a min. Rude actually. We were going to get up and leave when we saw a QR code on the table we are suppose to order online. We did nut no where can we order water and items like that. Eventually someone delivered a soda we ordered and we asked for water which we received but no refills or customer service for that mater. JUst ok and not worth the rudeness.

Went about 730p on Friday, was chaos as you are to seat yourself . Multiple people walking around through restaurant. No direction or priority as who was waiting first from staff. We were a party of 3 and found a small table finally and was abruptly and confrontational told by waiter we can 't have the table as it was for 2. JUPITER needs to spend a little money and hire a hostess. Local customer lost.

Great patio which alone makes this place a go-to place. Presently they have serverless ordering and runners for food due to a low time and probably post-covid period. Quick service, good cold beer and drinks. Pizza very cheesy. One thing...forgot our water. We enjoyed our patio time. So relaxing. Will always come back!
