This is an older Spanish style San Fernando Valley home that has been converted into a high quality restaurant on the north side of Riverside Drive, between Lankershim and Cahuenga. The driveway to the back parking lot is easily missed because it is narrow. The restaurant entry off this driveway is through one of two outside dining patios. Interior decor is minimalist and efficient with muted colors. Burgundy table clothes and white cloth napkins cover well spaced tables. Unique crystal glassware with custom cutlery and square plates enhance all servings. The excellent food at D? Cache is a fusion of Spanish, South American and American cuisine artistically served in small, yet adequate portions. Everything we tasted was mouth watering good. It will bring tears of joy to even a jaded palate. For our dinner wine, we enjoyed a soft lush Malbeck from Argentina.\r

From the valet to the bus staff, the service is appropriately attentive without interrupting private conversation. Our waitress was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and worthy of a 20%+ tip. Live background music was a solo Spanish guitar playing older romantic and popular hits that pleasantly complemented the overall ambiance of this fine upscale restaurant. We left satisfied with a promise to return.\r
Pros: A perfect balance of unique flavors in a comfortable setting, adequate off street parking
