Had dinner here right after they re-opened with a new chef and ownership a few months ago, and thought the food was really, really good. Came back a few nights ago (heard there was a new, seasonal menu coming this week) and..... MY GOD. Just came to have a quick bite with my girlfriend, ended up staying and having several courses! The menu has totally changed, and all looks fantastic! Me and my girlfriend started with the Seafood Salad and the Wilted Spinach Salad, (both really tasty!), then shared a Gnocchi dish (I thought I'd had good Gnocchi, till I had the one here) ; for the main course I got the Hanger Steak Frites and my girl got the Mahi plate. We were both jealous of each other after they came out! Both were not only perfectly cooked and delicious, but beautiful to look at! (Both me and my girl are artists, so we tend to notice these things.) The server recommended we save some room for dessert, and we were both glad we did! We got the Yuzu lemon cheesecake and the Banana Cream Pie...HOLY MOLY! The Yuzu cheesecake was hands down one of the best I've ever had, (server explained Yuzu is some type of Japanese lemon, whatever it is, it's delicious.) and the Cream Pie was not the stand by, soggy-banana and jello pudding I'd had at other places: it was stacked like some, I don't know delicious tower of beautifully cooked bananas, vanilla custard, whipped cream, graham cracker crust, chocolate, it was reeeeeally good! We had some really excellent wines with each course that went well with the food, servers really paired it up good. They told us they are currently changing the name and the decor, am coming back for sure as soon as they do, I'm sure the place will look just as good as the food tastes! This spot is without a doubt in my top 5 spots in So Cal! (Really reasonable prices too, even with a good tip.)
Pros: FOOD, Wine, service
