Café Salty
A Pop-up Wine and Oyster Bar!
by Allyson Noman
There’s an old adage: Oysters “R” in season, which refers to the general rule of thumb that oysters are best from September to April—all months containing the letter R. To ring in the return of oyster season this month, our friends at Chez Panisse and The Salty Pearl are popping up on our corner to serve and shuck enough to make you forget the last four months without R’s. Rn’t you excited? We R!
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! 1603 San Pablo Avenue, Berkeley, CA
