Excellent menu, kitchen is flexible with requests.

The food is always great, never had a bad meal. There is a large menu selection and the wine list has reasonably priced Italian wines that are 6 or 7 years old.  Almost all special menu requests are met by the kitchen.

 

One of the Top 10 in the Rancho Sante Fe area

I would definitely recommend this restaurant. This was my 3rd visit for dinner and the food is always creative and excellent. I have been to the happy hour on many occasions and have always found it upscale and friendly.

Great Find!

Great food with a large, varied menu. Off the tourist trail so you can enjoy your dinner with little noise, great service and warm ambiance. Owner on the premises added to the warm, caring feeling.
