We had a fantastic dinner to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday! Our server, Becky, really was amazing. She was attentive and very helpful. I had wanted to order the special but it was made with a walnut pesto and I am allergic. She checked with the kitchen to see if they could substitute the walnut pesto for the pistachio pesto, but unfortunately they were not. Becky made a great recommendation for me to try the penne in vodka sauce and it was amazing! My fiancé had the braised short rib and it was delicious as well. The chocolate nemesis cake was the perfect finale for our lovely dinner. All in all we had a great evening here, the food was delicious and Becky was fantastic!

About the restaurant
**HAPPY HOUR DISCLOSURE Happy hour is walk in only and limited to the bar, and the bar side of our patio. Adding notes to your reservation requesting happy hour does not guarantee you a happy hour table.

Our menu is a true California Cuisine, offering a wide array of steaks, seafood, appetizers, soups, salads sandwiches and burgers, and creative desserts. We have a hand picked wine and cocktail list and a fun atmosphere.

We also offer "whole pig" dinners that must be pre ordered.

Our First Time here! We had reservations, & we were seated at an undesirable table - so I chose to be “That Lady” & requested to be seated elsewhere. The young ladies at the door were accommodating - at least one of them was - & we were seated at another table. We will definitely be back!! Great steaks, & service!! Shannon was our waitress & was Great!! Thanks!!
