    My parents are visiting from Paris to LA so I decided to drive them to SB to experience the Sunday supper. However the experience was not as spectacular as it was this past August when I came with my cousins. It was good but there no proper meat dish. Great concept regardless!

    We were sat in a window table away from the bar area and as a result the noise level was very low. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food diverse and interesting. The Brazilian stew was a big hit, as was the mussels dish and the pork ribs. Although nobody wanted to admit it, the creme brulee seemed to dissapear very quickly. A very pleasant experience overall.

    The Cesar salad was very fresh and perfectly prepared. The French onion soup was outstanding, as was the cauliflower soup. Our servicer was helpful, friendly, and very knowledgeable. They also have a very nice wine list. We are looking forward to returning very soon.
