Lovely neighborhood restaurant. Food quality, taste were just perfect. My only comment would be that I did not think it's appropriate to charge $2 for each small breadstick. Bread is free in all other restaurants I frequent including those more expensive than this!! I ordered the short rib which was a stew and it needed bread to enjoy the gravy.

Was severely disrespected by the waitress with dark hair who was working on 12/6 and around 6:30pm. I come in and ask to use the restroom, she’s allowed me and says to not get in her trouble and shows me where it is. In the middle of using the bathroom wasn’t finished she makes me leave says “this is private property leave or I’m calling the cops!” Uh what?? Why did you let me use the bathroom then in the first place?? So I’m forced to get up in the middle of using the bathroom then I’m hit in the face with the wooden double doors as im leaving. I’m a regular here and come here with my family often and I will never returning to this establishment.

An absolutely fabulous meal at what we think of as a secret gem. Dining hear always feels like being transported to another place and time. And, our waiter, Gregory, took care of us like no other waiter has. Outstanding service, delicious and well-prepared food (the pork chop was the best ever), and incomparable ambience.

Everything about this dinner was 5 Stars! From the delicious food to the outstanding staff. I wish I lived locally so I could return over and over.

Just a lovely romantic setting whether it's indoor or outdoor. We chose the patio with lighted olive bushes and Spanish ambience. Server was delightful and the owner came over and said hi. Just lovely
Took 20 minutes for the waiter to come over after we had been seated and said that the reason being was that they were understaffed which was not the case. There were people who came in after us who got their food before anyone even asked our order Waiter then got our order wrong, the portions were small. The food was mediocre. Then he got our order wrong again for dessert as well. There was a lot of fake smiling and apologizing about his negligence but I don't buy it. I've been telling people, it's not a place that I would refuse to go to but not somewhere I would go on my own. Mille fleurs across the street is much better in terms or food quality, and service. I would recommend that restaurant instead

I strongly suggest you don’t go to this place. There was a piece of wood in my salad today and the owner said it was normal since they serve organic food.

Went there the other night and had Jesse as our server. He told us about the specials with such detail I was amazed! I went with the filet special and it nearly melted in my mouth! Such a great setting with a garden like feel. I don't know that I've ever been to a place like this! I highly recommend this place for a quaint date and a very good meal! I will be back for sure

The bistro is one of our local favorites, and not just because it's local. The food is wonderful. They have a great wine list, and the owners could not be more accommodating and friendly. The ambience feels like a Bistro in Paris you sit outdoors with all the little lights, and the birds in the foliage, it's beautiful, and inside is charming and warm and comfortable. If you have not been there yet, I suggest you do and remember the escargots are one of the best I've ever had absolutely delicious, but all their food is exceptional.
It was my husband’s birthday, and we were in the area, looking for a place to eat. This restaurant popped up in our search, so we decided to try it. What a gem! So charming, great service and everything we ate was delicious! The Baked Brie with grapes starter is a must! Old world European ambience-do lovely! Highly recommend. We will be back!

We ordered the shrimp primavera, it was sadly lacking. No hint of garlic, evoo, - abysmal. The service was exceptional considering the lunch hour had only two staffed waiters. This location has such promise….

I'd been here for lunch with friends a couple times and enjoyed it so I decided to bring my husband here for an anniversary dinner and it was a hit. We sat in the charming indoor dining room next to an open window and enjoyed a delicious dinner (a shared caprese salad, fillet mignon for him and rack of lamb for me) and it was all delicious. My husband loves apple pie and he declared their apple pie à la mode to be the best he's ever had. They have an extensive wine list with a large number of wines by the glass and I enjoyed a delicious pinot noir. Our server was friendly and just attentive enough. We may have found our new favorite North County restaurant.

Service was terrible! This restaurant caters to the locals. If you are a visitor beware. It took us 15 minutes jut to get our menus and that was because I asked a busboy to bring them to us. It was an hour in a half and we still did not get our food as we watched the waiters mingle with the locals that they knew by name, while they would get their meals we were still waiting. We had to go to the service window where the cooks area was and asked the manager why hadn't we been served we were seated at 7:30 pm and it was already 9pm. The restaurant was not busy or short handed just a place that favors the locals.
