the dishes were quite inventive and not the sort of things we encounter in san diego restaurants. the squab pasta was amazingly tasty, the branzino perfectly prepared and delicious and the broccoli with olive oil, garlic and lemon couldn't have been better. the honeycomb ice cream and cannoli were just the right ending to our wonderful meal. the wine list was also inventive and the bottle of sicilian grillo blend paired perfectly with our dishes.

An absolute must if you’re in the area. From the moment the maitre’d / host greeted us, I knew it would be a great experience. It is nestled in candlelight, you step inside and walk past the bar which is a work of art, around a cozy fire lit patio and we dined in a beautiful cabana. We ere even more surprised that the service, food and amazing cocktails were even more magical than the ambience. A lot of passion was invested in every recommendation, dish and presentation. I 10/10 recommend.
