About the restaurant

We are a great neighborhood secret on the south end of town offering a variety of fresh fun food from our open display kitchen. We have a hardwood oven for great appetizers and flatbreads while fresh Alaskan seafood and produce arrive daily. Be sure to check out our daily specials highlighting Chef Travis' creative inspirations. And of course, make sure to save room for our fantastic home-made desserts. We are proud recipients of the "Wine Spectators" Award of excellence 28 years in a row and feature a 250+ bottle wine list. Our speciality, though, is our hospitality. It truly brings us joy to welcome guests to our restaurant and help them have the best experience we can offer.

The Calabrian pasta was very good. I'll be keen to incorporate the Calabrian chile in some of my own cooking. For dessert, the Pineapple tarte tatin was excellent. One of the best restaurant desserts I've had in a long while.
