Loved the food, loved the service, loved the entire experience. I didn't realize how much I missed Stephen Pyles until I finally ate here last weekend. The only reason it took me so long was that I am bad at planning ahead and the popularity of this place makes planning ahead imperative. Despite the beauty of the place and implied formality we were greeted like old friends at the door and spent the evening having a great time with our server (who had been with Pyles for 10 years) selecting our choices for dining. She was a true professional, with just enough advice to help without overdoing it. Ceviche is as wonderful as everyone says. Our sampler of the salmon, sea bass, and bronzini ceviches was a perfect starter. Each very different but wonderful in their own way - the bronzini with fennel and vanilla was my personal favorite.\r

The meal continued at this high standard with the gazpacho a standout! The Heaven and Hell cake is all that I remember it too be from Star Canyon. Only commment is that it could be much smaller. That is a giant piece of cake even for two people to share.
Pros: Ceviche, Service, Atmosphere
