In Short
Named for a small village on the central coast of California, this whimsical bistro features eclectic foodstuffs culled from California, Italy and France. The intimate dining room--flanked by cinnamon-hued parasols illuminated with tiny white lights--mimics the sophisticated and playful menu. Upscale guests dine on Chef Adam Mali's grilled Vermont cheddar and Macintosh apple sandwiches, Tuscan minestrone soup or Colorado lamb Bolognese. The well-chosen wine list proffers about 10 by-the-glass pours.
