MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

This is everything you want from your favorite neighborhood restaurant—warm, convivial, and never excessive. The fact that its food exists at a level far above the easy vibe is an ultra-special bonus. The timeless menu has pivoted in the hands of Chef Larry Feldmeier, with ace ingredients, delightful flavor combinations, and fine presentations.
Begin with an artistic mingling of sweet melon, aged prosciutto, crisp endive, and red wine vinaigrette. Pasta chitarra is enhanced with anchovies, chili pepper, and herbs; while halibut tempura is coddled with yuzu aïoli and a fiery chili sauce.
The buttery Basque cake with Campari-compressed strawberries and almond-crème fraîche arrive at the skilled hands of Pastry Chef Julia Fitting and Sous Chef Kevin Matsuda.
