When we first walked in with a group of 5, they told us they could seat us, but we'd have the table for only 1.5 hours tops. Don't know why we agreed, but...read more

The Scene
Living up to its name, this smart, trendy bistro on California Avenue lures Silicon Valley's jet set. On nice days you can sip wine in the back garden. Inside, banquette seating offers intimacy with plenty of prime crowd-watching. The wait staff is skilled and knowledgeable.
The Food
The meal often begins with a delicious amuse-bouche of sun-dried olives and sliced bresaola (air-dried, aged and salted beef fillet). For your first course try the tiny crab cakes or the house specialty: a poached egg and sevruga caviar on a bed of shallots, crisp pancetta and spinach. If you're looking for something light, the mussels in tomato, basil and porcini broth are always a safe bet. Meat lovers can enjoy the natural, hormone-free Niman Ranch steaks. Favorite desserts include cream-cheese tarts with seasonal fruit and coconut custard with fresh mango and crispy sesame tuiles. The inventive wine list is well-suited to the food.
