MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

This lovely little bistro is tucked into an unassuming mall a few blocks from the beach, giving it that ideal neighborhood feel and easy seaside vibe. Natural wood and serene colors run the length of the space, which features a large communal farmhouse table in the middle of the room.
The friendly Baran brothers can usually be found on site, doing their best to make sure every patron feels welcome. The kitchen turns out a seasonal menu that's constantly evolving but may include a filet of beef with a sumptuous black garlic-Sichuan sauce, chili broccoli and pickled shiitakes. Desserts like mini buttery bundt cakes are paired with ginger-blueberry sorbet and apricot coulis for a refreshing treat. Sip as you go with a choice from over 40 craft beers.
