"This gem has been in the area for many, many years. There is a reason for that, its just a really great restaurant. The atmosphere is lovely, the food is always great, and the service is professional. All are polished servers that are also incredibly friendly and provide the appropriate attention. We love the mushroom appetizer, but tonight I opted for the fresh gazpacho which was incredible. Simple and flavorful. We often opt to select one of the specials offered. When fresh Santa Barbara Spot Prawns are on the menu, they are amazing my personal favorite here, prepared with garlic sauce and linguine. OMG. The veal ossobucco is my also offered at times on the special menu. As for pastas, they are all very good, so its hard to select from the pasta special and the standards. My date really liked the Sonoma lamb chops, and the fresh corn and lobster chowder as a starter. The bartender knows how to serve a cocktail. Tomato, the owner, is always gracious but tonight he was too busy to stop by and say hello. Our server, Kevin, ROCKS"
