HAPPY HOUR & DINNER (Wednesday-Sunday)
Our restaurant serves California-influenced French cuisine in our completely remodeled outdoor patio and indoor wine boutique, brand new menu and bar with signature craft cocktails. We are a long-time favorite of locals who appreciate the personal service and our extensive wine list. After more than four decades of serving our clients, it is as much an honor and a privilege, as it is a reassurance to know, that while culinary trends come and go, appreciation and dedication to quality endure.

    Fabulous food. Went there during restaurant week and felt the value was good. The service could have been much better. Wait staff never check in and was very hurried. Had to hunt him down multiple times. But the food is worth it.

    The Restaurant Week menu provided good choices for appetizer, entree, and dessert. We had the onion soup and the roasted Brussel sprouts as appetizers. The soup was very traditional and delicious. The Brussel sprouts were excellent and amazing in theflavor. We had the filet and the scallops. Both dishes had potatoes and vegetables. They were very filling and amazing in flavor. desserts were also amazing.

    Was so pleasantly surprised - fed a hungry group of 5 for approx $125 - and that included truffle fries and escargot for the table.......NO alcohol but did have 3 iced teas. The chorizo burrito was HUGE - as was the spinach florentine omelette - steak med-rare and eggs delicious too!
