Outdoor bar seating is comfortable and enjoys afternoon sun. Marley does a great job behind the bar - friendly, engaging, makes great cocktails. Food is good, service is quick, seems to be a lot of local residents as "regulars". Good value, convenient location in Rancho Santa Fe Village with easy parking on the street.

I thought this was going to be fine dining…so that’s my bad I guess. Strange mismatched decor. Weird chairs —cheap. Wanted to seat us in an attached room with zero ambiance. Food was mediocre. Risotto so mushy more like polenta. I would not return.

It was alright. Was seated 40 min after original reservation time. Had to settle for outdoor seating. Certain areas were super cold. The food was good not great. I would go again for a casual night nothing special
