MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

This cheery, welcoming little spot has risen to the status of a local brunch favorite thanks to its cleverly California-inflected takes on American classics. A potato pancake served with Korean braised short ribs and kimchi is an illustrative example, as is a photogenic take on avocado toast, adorned with colorful radishes, sprouts, and local seaweed. Not to be overlooked is their lobster roll, served on a perfectly toasted, buttery brioche bun (from celebrated Ad Astra bakery) with sweet lobster meat—topped with caviar to further enhance the splurge, if desired. Dinner, served three nights a week, has additional appealing offerings, like duck egg raviolo with crispy garlic and brown butter, or a grilled swordfish steak with romesco and Meyer lemon.
