Thanks. I just checked their web site, which says just that.

When you ate there, was it in the restaurant or the cafe? We have show
tickets at 8:00 in Zellerbach Hall. The web site says the first
seating is 6:00-6:30. It's a set menu (4 courses). If we got a 6:00
reservation and were on time, would we be done by 7:30 without rushing
so much that we would ruin the evening?

Can we walk to Zellerbach Hall from Chez Panisse?

Thanks
