    A lovely meal in tucked away spot close to Union Square. We cannot rave enough about the Red Plum and Grape Salad - salty, fruity, porky in just the right way, and bright with frisee and arugula. Mains were beautifully done renditions of what I consider California classics. Sides were equally lovely. Cocktails were delicious and dessert made my mom want to move to the neighborhood.

    It was a beautiful dinner. Our server was amazing. We got a few shareable for the table. The Brussel chips were phenomenal. Everything tastes so pure and light. The flavors worked so well together and tickled all my tastebuds. The margarita was fire as well.
