    Best artichoke I've ever had- amazing flavor and the sun dried tomato aioli and marinade was icing in the cake. Also loved their version of potato skins as well as the candied swine jolly rancheros!

    The deviled eggs- wow!!! Artichoke was great too, loved the grilled shrimp and penne. Margarita was a little too sour for my liking (and I never say that). Cool art, good food, great service!

    If you like artichokes this is my favorite one that I have ever had. Always good. Also don't miss the olalaberry pie and ice cream sandwich.

    Try the Blood Orange Rita and the Monterey Bay Calamari. Also, you can't go wrong with $3 and $5 apps and drinks during M-F 4-7pm Happy Hour!
