    Outstanding !!!!! We had Spanish octopus, soup and salad, osso bucco, duck and ended with olive oil cake w/ a blueberry compote. The octopus was perfectly charred with a tangy sauce and crunchy potatoes. Perfect for first course! The soup and salad were delightful and a pleasant surprise- it was cabbage with a sweet vinegar, the soup had huge mushrooms with barley. The Duck was a tiny bit dry but still delicious. The skin was crunchy and they had a small gravy boat of the best sauce to go with, the sides with it paired perfectly. The Osso Bucco was incredibly tender, pulled apart by only a fork dipped in the fluffiest mashed potatoes!!! Great sauce as well. The olive oil cake was moist with the perfect bite every time. I highly recommend this gem. Kat, our server was so kind and gave great recommendations along with extra sauce since we had to take some food to go! They have huge portion sizes.

    We had a lovely evening on the patio. It was a cold night and I was worried we wouldn’t be warm enough. We were warm. Our server Alex had great suggestions and was very attentive. The entire staff is pleasant. The food is amazing. I had the lamb chops and my wife had the barramundi both were great. So was their signature Cesar salad and the pineapple upside down cake. We will be back to try the rest of the menu.

    Prix-fix lunch is almost always perfect, & we dine here for lunch at least once a week. Food is reliably fresh & tasty, & the $31 set price includes soup or salad, dessert, coffee/tea, & bread. Service always comes with a friendly smile & is professional especially Lilliam, Michelle, & Alex. Highly recommended. Sit outdoors in the tree room; it's smart to reserve for lunch.

    We came all the way in from Rancho Mirage ... sort of a standing joke because as we get older a 20 minutes car ride is excessive lol. The restaurant was very nice inside. the decor was urban chic and when you walked in they have a small 4 seat bar and a large room off to the right side. they also have a nice patio for outdoor dinning. The place was busy and we say right away. cocktails we had the blood orange cocktail and a German beer. Food wise we had the meatballs and the escargot both excellent. entrees we all had Schnitzel which was the best Ive had. Our server was friendly and responsive with our drinks and food. This is definitely a place to try!
