    We have dined here before and had a nice experience each time. It’s quaint and homey with birds in cages around the patio where we sat…hope you like simulated bird sounds. Although simply presented, the food is quite delicious. This is a happy place in the fabulous village of Rancho Santa Fe and we love it!
