The burger and calamari are must haves. This restaurant is by far one of my favorites in the PG area and it’s a must

Had a wonderful dinner here. The owners are so friendly and the food was delicious. Will definitely be coming back!!! We had the beef Shawarma wrap special and the burger. As well as calamari appetizer. Everything was great. The lemon sparkling Italian soda was also really good.

Honestly they had the best tortellini I’ve ever had, the staff was super friendly and helpful, and I can’t wait to go back to try more of their dishes ?

As soon as Mike and I walk in the door, we're like family. Our orders are usually the same. Rack of lamb for Mike and chicken dijoinnase with wine. It's my favorite and always my first choice. It's quiet and friendly. The cook is usually the owner, and the server is his wife.

Do not miss this restaurant in Pacific Grove. Such amazing service...Sue welcomes you like you are family. They offer such an amazing menu that you may want to go with several people so you can try multiple options! Their prices are reasonable, too! Enjoy your dinner and don't miss dessert ?

If I could give six stars I would! This is the best dining experience I have had in a long time. The staff provided impeccable service, present without being overbearing. We started with a bottle of wine, they were out of the one we requested and found a substitute in the same price range. We ordered the eggplant Neapolitan as an appetizer. Wow! This could be a meal in itself. Beautifully plated, toasted brioche topped with eggplant, peppers, mozzarella, carmelized onions and pesto and some magic - I was in heaven! Definitely a go to. He ordered the lamb tenderloin, this was not what I expected at all (in the best way). Imagine a pork tenderloin- only lamb! There are three plated in a circle with scalloped potatoes and spinach in the center all on au jus. And the flavors were fabulous. I had the special of the day, sea bass with steamed broccoli, mashed potatoes and a lovely wine (?) sauce with Kalamata olives, capers and tomatoes. Delicious. All plated beautifully. You eat with your eyes first - right?? We decided to save room for dessert so my honey asked for a to go box. Sue the gracious owner tried to plate our to go box too! LOL really nice, but no need. I've read the reviews for the bread pudding and hope to have it next time, but it is rare to see housemade butterscotch pudding on a menu! So glad we chose this! A perfect end to a wonderful meal! We'll be back!

All I got was a bowl of soup to go, but from the second I walked in I felt at home. It was actually the best 5 minutes of my day just picking up this soup. The restaurant is so cute and clean and cozy and the staff were so kind and welcoming. Also the soup (and bread) was really yummy!!

Excellent service. My Chicken Dijonaise was excellent although they ran out of potato augratin. My partner ordered their special of the day Sea Bass but the fish was not too fresh and the sauce a bit watery.. Overall a solid 4 star!!

Friendly and unpretentious little bistro, serving imaginative dishes from a chef with a flair for wonderful flavors. Our selections were butternut squash agnolotti and the sea bass special, and we could not have been more pleased.
