Fodor's Review:

The two-story California bistro with ceiling-high windows and polished dark-wood accents is as handsome as the menu is tasteful. Chef-owner Raphael Lunetta, who is also an accomplished surfer, turns out seasonal appetizers such as a delicate roasted-tomato tart or a roasted-beet salad with caramelized walnuts and dried Bing cherries. They're worthy preludes to main dishes like a truly memorable crispy-skinned salmon with parsnip puree, braised fennel, and sweet balsamic reduction.

We were very pleased with the food and service. However, as the web site indicates, the menu is not extensive.
