Try the Mediterranean Branzino With A Lemon Dill Sauce
Thursdays are 1/2 price pizzas from 5-6pm. The best! Sit at the bar and enjoy.
David GreerDecember 21, 2009Everything I had was great... Stuffed Zucchini blossoms, pork chop, and the roasted strawberry dessert... SO GOOD!- Stop here for a glass of wine before walking into Balboa Park.
Amazing Place! Try something new...Pizza with and egg cracked on it. I know it sounds crazy, but it is so good.
You really can't go wrong here, unless you don't make a reservation!

Ming LimFebruary 3, 2010Sit in the communal tables. Fun, hip, excellent and moderately priced. Delicious.
- Shay MamoSeptember 16, 2011The lasagna is served on a million degree plate that never gets cold. The dish stays too hot to eat long after you've burned the inside of your mouth and can't taste anything.
highly applaud pan seared trout with brocolli but i guess geo bush would not
