I took advantage of the current Travelzoo deal which for $29, you get an appetizer, a pizza and two cocktails - seems like too good of a deal to pass! They also have a current lunch deal where $24 can get you a pizza + drink. Hubby and I made lunch reservations to come here a few days ago and the restaurant was very empty but service was attentive and excellent during our entire stay.
I decided that one appetizer was not enough (I think most people order more than what the voucher allocates for and that's probably what the restaurants want anyway) so we got the oyster & beef tartare, deep fried oysters, California Pi and two cocktails to share. Let me commend the restaurant for being extremely lenient with the voucher. If your item is more than the limit, they just charge you the difference. I've had experiences in the past where this was not allowed.
The tartare and the fried oysters were really good. I love how fresh tasting and flavorful they were. As I don't normally get fish on my pizza, I decided to try their house smoked trout which is on their California Pi. The pizza here is different than your usual fare - the dough is thin, crispy and baked first and then the ingredients are added on after. I felt like I was eating a healthy flatbread which I didn't mind at all.
We were modestly full after all that food (ok well, I wanted to try the ice cream from Made by Marcus down the block) but I would love to get their buttermilk panna cotta next time! I do however have to take a star off for cleanliness... we sat next to the window and there were dead flies and strands of hair on on the window sill and on the vent. That's definitely a bit of a turn off for me but it's nothing a thorough wipe can't fix. Anyhow, do come for the excellent food and service, as I will definitely return.
