I had the Zinfandel short rib which was nice. But overall the food was average.

Had a wide variety of foods on the menu. I personally thought that the appetizers for the most part were better than the main dishes. The desert was amazing!! One interesting menu item that was surprisingly good was the pear quesadilla. The staff was incredibly friendly as well. Least favorite food item here would be the chicken wings!

Crammed space, tables very close to one another, bar takes up most of the space, basic decor, cold and very noisy. Food was good but not for the prices. Server was ok, not very attentive, not helpful. We ordered salads along with apps and main courses and he didn’t think he should mention the salads were dinner portions and that the Caesar salad is heavy anchovy flavor, it was inedible. The old location was much more charming and food was so good, lines out the door. Here you can get a table pretty easy. Good app menu.

Nice little restaurant. Food wise, the lamb shank is fantastic. The succulent, fall off the bone meat was expertly cooked and seasoned and I love the pairing of polenta, bathing in jus. Just fantastic, and HUGE. I was so full on this alone. Yet, tried a few more items- mussels you get a lot of of them, but the selection seemed a bit sad in that there were plenty with the dish, but the meat was tiny and not cleaned so well (definitely sand in plenty of bites). I love French Onion Soup but the dish was served at maybe lukewarm if that, so that warm bliss you may get from a nice hot soup was not present. The Diablo shrimp was awesome, and definitely spicy so it lives up to its claim. The service was great if not at times a bit too attentive and quick to want to take plates. The crowd is very loud for what feels like the intended tone of the restaurant may be. Liked it overall, pretty great and definitely would get the lamb shank again.

Great restaurant in a cute corner, plenty of parking across the street. Permanent covered patio, regular and bar seating inside. Loved food and friendly service. Chairs can use cushions for more comfort.

Best French onion soup in California! The French dip was good, after I cut the fat of the steak.

Visited with a colleague and a client with family for a total party of five. Table was ready even with me arriving early. Service from the time we walked in the door was outstanding. All the food was wonderful with my favorite being the pear tart/pastry we ordered for dessert. Their pasty recipe is among the best I’ve had. Very nice vibe with super friendly staff. Wish I remembered our server’s name.

Plenty of window seating. Parking is right across the street. I enjoyed the braised short rib and added grilled jumbo prawns to my meal. Great service on a Sunday afternoon to celebrate my wife's and brother in law's birthdays.
