    We enjoyed lunch with our college girl at this elegant venue. It was just the right setting to catch up during brunch consisting of Avocado Toast, an omelette, and excellent chorizo tacos!

    Food was just ok. I ordered soufflé pancake, which is my favorite but it did not come with compote/butter plate unlike weekdays. I also ordered a french dip sandwich and my husband ordered a burger. But My french fries tasted like a taco shell which means the fries were not fried in a fresh oil. My husband’s fries tasted ok but did not seem fresh either. I talked about this to my server, but he did not care much about my complain. Actually I felt like we were not cared well during our stay there, considering it was a busy Saturday lunch. I don’t know if our server was extremely busy at that time, but I saw other employees quite often and working hard, whereas I could barely saw our server. I doubt if I would come back again because this experience was not what I’ve experienced before and had been expected from this restaurant.

    The local peach salad was fantastic as was the miso crusted bass and the roasted carrots. The pesto pasta dish with chicken was mediocre. The orange desert looked pretty but was pretty bad. It was a birthday and overall we enjoyed the experience.

    Superb service, all staff provide top quality care for their guests, they are each very attentive. Beautiful Spanish ambience. Shared numerous hors d’oeuvres and bites. The focaccia bread was excellent as was the swordfish. And we finished off our night with a unique and tasty apple crisp accompanied by decaf coffee . We started with a dry extra cold Toto’s vodka martini - each served to perfection - just like I like it. Who can have just one when they’re this good?
