We had the bacon wrapped dates, sweet potato soup, pacifica salad, and seared sea bass. All were excellent-the soup was exceptionally delicious. We dined outside with a heater overlooking El Paseo street. Very quiet and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

As always, the wait staff was attentive and welcoming. We all enjoyed the Sunset Special. Two of us had wonderful calamari; one enjoyed the salad. We then had lamb, sausage and peppers and delicious desserts.

The waiter was very enthusiastic and the food was amazing per usual. We were disappointed that our table was not ready when we arrived when I think I made the reservation weeks ago. I did have a dog, but they didn’t seem to mind. There were plenty of tables outside and we ended up in the corner. A couple after us got a better table right in front of ours.
