Janell TorresAugust 18, 2013Celebrating a birthday? Call a day or 2 ahead of time and the chef will bake a cake at about $8-10 a person. Hands down one of my favorite meals in San Diego. Don't skip the cheese menu.
The BEST happy hour! $5 wines, the best calamari, tuna tartare and the lobster pizza, also $5 each! Happy Hour goes until 7pm!

Carrera GirlAugust 11, 2011Amazing service! Changed reservations then had to leave and the hostess was totally charming and accommodating!- Ami GrimesFebruary 7, 2010Gnocci...both light and hearty at the same time. Not quite like Christmas dinner Gnocci at home but flavorful and absolutely recommend for sure.
Do a cheese plate. Pick at least the three milk cheese and add on a honey tasting. You won't be sorry.
