The Scene
Interesting neo-Mediterranean styling with a hint of airport hangar d?cor makes this street corner restaurant a hit with the sophisticated clientele. In daylight, sit by the expansive windows and watch the world go by. After dark, the very visible, warm interior glows from the street, welcoming couples who look for a quiet, slow-paced candlelit experience or groups ready for a celebration.

The Food
The limited menu (only seven entrees) which changes monthly, is inspired from northern Italian and southern French influences. For starters, try the butter lettuce salad with blue cheese and tomatoes in a tarragon mustard vinaigrette, or the antipasto with stuffed olives and tasty humus-topped crostini. Unfortunately, the pricey entrees often lacked flavor and creativity of presentation. The Niman Ranch pork chop was disappointingly drab, as was the saffron risotto.
