food enjoyer
when my friends and I pulled up on a Sunday night, we were surprised by the quiet atmosphere – nobody else here on a pleasant weekend? but we soon found out why. this place is a total hidden gem for a fancy celebratory meal, with a charming vintage interior and a deliciously curated menu. we ordered some truly spectacular plates. i got the Chilean sea bass and it is just as delicious and buttery and mind-blowing as other reviews would suggest. the pastas are also sublime, especially paired with some house red. the prices are definitely giving celebration vibes; it’s not a more casual eatery IMO, so come here for your anniversaries and sentimental milestones!

Our go-to for yummy, solid, well-cooked meals for a night out. Delicious. The Braised Short Ribs, Chilean Sea Bass, pasta dishes and Mango salad are delish. You can’t go wrong with these dishes. This family owned business is worth supporting. They are friendly, nice and provide excellent service. They are dedicated to providing great food to their customers. This local business is definitely worth supporting.

We are visiting family from Hawaii. I have a gluten allergy and my son also has food allergies. The service was so fast and friendly! The food was excellent and accommodating! Everyone loved their dishes – wish we had a place like this back home! Definitely want to return! My son gave it a and loved his spaghetti, while I really loved my salmon over potatoes and rice. So yummy!

First time here. Not very crowded Sunday night dinner at 5pm. Fast services, you will get your dinner very fast. Everything we ordered are delicious and they can almost make everything in vegetarian style. Portions are large, decent price.

Small, family owned restaurant so sometimes they have wonky hours and emergencies. But they still have tasty food.

In the heart of downtown Alhambra, this intimate boutique restaurant serves up yummy dishes without too much flare or overly dramatic interior design.
The parking:
Its downtown Alhambra, you got street parking, structures close by and some spots in the back of the restaurant
The restaurant:
Clean, simple decor and quiet, perfect for a casual dinner
The food:
Its yummy, I had some of my friends dishes and everything i sampled including my own dish was good.
We got cheesecake for dessert and it was also good.
Unfortunately nothing crazy, over the top amazing or bad about the menu items. Just good and sometimes good is exactly what you are looking for.
The only comment I will say is the menu is small, this could be a major plus if you feel whelmed by larger menus

Been going there once in a while now.
My favorite is the Roasted Duck Breast, keep coming for more. Perfect balance of saltiness on the duck, that blends with the reduction sauce, vegetables and mash potatoes.
Also tried the following:
Pork Chop Casserole: so tender that you don’t need a knife.
Linguine with Meatballs: be ready to ask for togo box
Cajun Seafood Pasta: can’t go wrong with that
Duck Leg Confit: very tender and for those that like sweet finish
Stuffed Chicken Breast: juicy, tasty & tender

The food here is pretty average. If I want to be brutally honest, this place deserves .5 stars for the food. The lady’s customer service was the best thing about the place, but I can’t eat customer service. I should’ve seen the red flags where we were the only people there, the misplaced bathroom sign that leads people to believe that the world is your dumping ground. The rice was overcooked, the dessert was watery. It was for my best friend’s birthday. Although she chose the place, she regretted eating here then and later that day (we only ate here once).
