Very pleased. Excellent beet salad, bouillabaisse and branzino. Very hot - kudos, the food had obviously been on the stove a minute before it was served. Wines by the glass not extensive, but ok. Pleasant surroundings, quiet enough for conversation. Convenient parking right behind the building. We will be back, this is a keeper - a neighborhood restaurant with really good food at reasonable prices.

We were branching for 5 family members before the AFI movies. Everyone enjoyed their meals and coffee and cocktails. It’s a hard group to please sometimes but we were all happy, happy! Service was great as was the food.

A little disappointed in being put in the bar when I booked so far in advance (and close to the door). The waiter and food were great so that made up for it.

We had a wonderful experience; party of 10.The service was great — Patty was pleasant and addressed all of our needs. The food was well prepared. We enjoyed the calamari and the egg rolls. We also had the lobster, shrimp, crab soup and tortilla soup. The soups were both flavorful and hot. The strip steak was cooked to perfection. The burger was hugh. The short rib was beefy and thick. We also liked the pork chop. The key lime pie and the banoffee pie were really tasty. I believe the food has improved 100% since I had dined here before. I plan to return soon.
