This is the biggest disappointment that I have had in the last two years. This can not be a 4.6 restaurant. Beef was overcooked and dry. Flavorless. The ravioli was ok. The only thing good was the potatoes. Please do not come to this place. Service is good though. It’s way to expensive for what you are going to receive.

Below expectations. I went to this restaurant because it had 4.6 stars review. Not sure where that came from. We had lunch there on Sunday 1/30/2022 and the food was just average. The service was pretty frustrating. They told us to grab any table on the patio, once we got there the tables/chairs were all messy and disorganized. There was water spilled all over our table. We had to ask them to clean it. One of the heaters was not working. Our wine glass was dirty. The chocolate "gelato" was absolutely not a gelato; just a cheap ice cream bought at the grocery store. Maybe the dinner experience is better but I do not recommend this place for lunch.

Each plate was made at the restaurant by the chef-owners, absolutely fresh and a taste explosion. The “Beet Cured Gravlax Fresh wild King salmon filet, beet cured, thinly sliced and served with favetta, soft boiled quail egg, scallions, big sur sea salt, and Wild Poppies olive oil. (Salmon served raw)” was amazing and I took on to go after lunch. The outside seating is lovely, great ventilation and so much greenery and flowers. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon and appreciated the wonderful service by Tony! Thank you!

I have been here several times and never a single time I was let down. I usually order the 3 course menu ($60) including appetizer, pasta, and an entree. Yes the portion is smaller than a la carte, but neither my partner nor I felt we needed to order more. The Chef is also good at making soup. It’s so good I was seriously considering order a regular bowl. Wine by glass is quite pricey, usually between $12-15/glass. We decided to go with a bottle that fits within the budget we are more comfortable with. It’s a family owned restaurant so maybe that’s why it feels even more homier. The paintings on the walls were painted by the mother of the chef. It does get busy on the weekends. It’ll make the whole dining experience even better if they can reduce the number of tables in the restaurant. Our table was really close to other tables it reminded me of my dining experience in Paris.
