Welcome to Babette

At Babette, it is our goal to provide a comfortable, neighborhood restaurant where one can have both a casual meal with friends and family or celebrate a special occasion in our intimate dining room or under the redwood tree on our romantic, garden patio.

 

 

       We will be closed on Friday, September 20th and Saturday 28th for private events. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

 

On Friday, September 27th, we will try – out our first “Friday Night Music” bringing back  “The Standards”,a four piece jazz ensemble who have played to two packed patio’s.  We love them and think you will too!

 

 With deep respect and enthusiasm, we welcome back Ben Goldberg for our “month residency” at Babette.

“Ben Goldberg” has been at it for a long time. His mother Judy played the clarinet and when Ben was little he was drawn to the smell of cork grease and old wood inside the case. In fourth grade Willie Hill taught him the proper embouchure and why you have to sit up straight and know the name of the note, not just the fingering. Clarinet, like many instruments, is not easy. Music gets complicated but you can always sit up straight and keep playing your song.

Each Wednesday, Ben will play with a different ensemble showcasing his versatility and playfulness. Experience hauntingly beautiful pieces of original work as well as his astute interpretations of some classics and other favorites.

Shows run from 6- 8 p.m.

Sept 4 Nate Brenner – electric bass, Hamir Atwal – drums, Ben Goldberg – clarinet

Sept 11 Rob Reich – accordion, Spencer Hoefert – electric guitar, Hamir Atwal – drums, Nate Brenner- electric bassBen Goldberg – clarinet
