The Daily Meal: Top recommended: Passion fruit panna cotta, Dungeness crab tortellini, and the mini grilled cheese amuse-bouches. Read more.
Mike Tito: I was welcomed with Grilled Cheese and Soup.. I think that should be something that every restaurant should do!
Christopher Westcott: A great wine selection. Definitely do pick a few of their whites. Oddly enough, my favorite dish was the complimentary grilled cheese and tomato soup snack ;-) But definitely try the tuna tartare too.
