In what was originally a turn-of-the-20th-century beach house, Joe Miller has created the definitive neighborhood restaurant with a citywide reputation. His imaginative French-influenced California cooking focuses on fresh ingredients. Start with tuna tartare or porcini ravioli in mushroom-Parmesan broth, and continue with Berkshire pork crépinette (a type of sausage) or potato-crusted red snapper in port wine sauce. For dessert, try the baked Alaska or unique house-made ice creams. Lunch is a terrific value—all entrées are $18 or less and come with soup or salad.
