| - We were actually looking to go to Cafe Monarch that evening, but there was no availability so I thought we'd try this place out. The decor appealed, as did the quiet looking location down the street from one of our favorite bars (The Beverly). Despite the fact the menu changes frequently, they had the tasting menu posted online, and it struck all the right chords with my wife and I. The setting was beautiful, and the waitstaff was extremely knowledgeable and attentive. The criticism about noise in this place seems a little undue, I thought it was fine and vibrant, not overwhelming. Now, on to the food: amazing! They clearly care about the ingredients, the details, and executed everything perfectly. The wine pairings were spot on (and generously poured!), and this ranks in the top 3 meals I've had in the valley. Was it pricey? Yes, but worth it. Great for a splurge or significant night out, and the chef and staff clearly care.
