    The patio is definitely where you want to be! We were seated right by the entry and the musician, which was just a little loud, but it was still a very enjoyable time. The drinks were delicious (basil and jalapeño infused whiskey sour and a raspberry vodka lemonade). The warm goat cheese salad and French onion soup were great starters. My boyfriend had the kurobuta pork chop and I had the sesame crusted ahi. Both were amazing and very nice portions! Finished with the butter cake - perfect to share! Will definitely be back.

    We had the bacon wrapped dates, sweet potato soup, pacifica salad, and seared sea bass. All were excellent-the soup was exceptionally delicious. We dined outside with a heater overlooking El Paseo street. Very quiet and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

    An outstanding restaurant for dinner. I truly enjoyed the crab pasta and my wife and our friend enjoyed their scallop and salmon dishes. The meals are cooked to perfection. The pasta had a nice "bite" to it so you need to like spicy food to enjoy. Being from Texas we love spicy food. Our server Sophia was very professional, personable and attentive. For dessert, the carrot cake is a must. Well worth a visit.
