Produce is organic, seafoods are fresh and the menu accentuates American ideas, enhanced by Asian spin and Mediterranean comfort.

The Scene
Despite crisp white tablecloths and dimmed lighting, the atmosphere of the restaurant is decidedly casual. Middle-aged couples and families dine at elegant wooden tables, high tables lining the wall or out on the oak tree-shaded patio. An L-shaped bar hosts singles who linger over specialty martinis. Servers provide friendly, attentive service without pretension.

The Food
Start off with the fried crispy croquetas--breadcrumbed balls of chicken and jamon serrano drizzled with a zesty marinara sauce. Meat dishes are moderately sized, but offer prime cuts. The tender lamb sirloin is accented by a colorful melange of fava beans, carrots, asparagus and chunky tomato salsa. For pasta lovers, the wild mushroom rigatoni is tossed in a buttery cream sauce of trumpet mushrooms, marsala and truffle oil. Save room for the bananas foster--slices of banana swimming in a sticky sweet brandy sauce, served alongside a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
