Enjoy our oft-changing 3, 4 or 5-course Chef's menu for dinner inside our charming cottage. Outdoor seating is currently unavailable.

Come take a special journey when you dine at our charming restaurant.

Husband-and-wife team Sachin Chopra and Shoshana Wolff have turned a 1906 Victorian house into a pioneering dining destination that showcases Modern Californian Cuisine. It's local and seasonal whenever possible, but is also so much more. Sachin stretches beyond his classical training to create elegantly composed dishes that subtly hint at Indian, Japanese, Norwegian, Mediterranean and other worldly influences. The result is a unique cuisine with its own distinctive point of view. Warm, professional service and a thoughtful wine list enhance the experience.

We can't wait to see you!

    So many people recommend this place so we tried it out for our anniversary. So disappointed in the food. The onion tart sounded so good but it was so dry it was hard to even eat. The gnocchi was fried sticks and the sauce on the side. I’ve never seen anything like it but also was so dry and just did not taste good at all. The lamb and steak entrees were good but not amazing. Wine pairing was ok. Service was amazing but for the price the food def should have been better

    Exceptional dining experience. Every course, from the pre-appetizer to the post-dessert bites, was delicious. The sauces were perfectly matched to each dish. My salmon was cooked to perfection, tender with a lightly crispy exterior. The cheesecake featured a sweet yet tangy sauce—delicious! The table-side pouring of the onion soup was a delightful surprise. An ideal venue for a special occasion.

    Outstanding flavors, spectacular really. Every dish. The carmelized onion soup is other worldly. Service fantastic. There is always parking. Oddest thing is the cheesy soundtrack that I found distracting. They need a musical reboot.

    This was my first visit to All Spice and what a treat! Imaginative dishes, attentive wait staff and a room we could talk and laugh without yelling to be heard. Menu was clever, innovative and food was tasty. Dishes were good size, as well.

    Don’t listen to negativity regarding ALLSPICE— this is a hidden jewel whose cuisine will blow you away for its creativity, flavor and inventiveness. The veggie dishes fully hold up to any of the meat entrees, really extraordinary— light, luscious. The wine pairings are excellent and reasonably priced. Michelin is rarely wrong and here, doesn’t even do just to the romantic combination of class and elegance. Best place for date night I know…

    I’ve been there four times before and this was the first time I was underwhelmed. The service was off a bit. No one explaining the food. Raw onions after requested none. Presentation was somewhat sloppy. I’ll be back because I’m sure it was an off night. Just hoping it’s not indicative of future seatings.
