Beautiful antiques are used as serving stations adding a bit of old world flare. At one point during our time there, there was a champagne bucket filled, with bottle in it, hanging out in front of the piece seen below, making me feel like I was in a brasserie of old in Paris.
Neat details around every corner.
Ah, a jambon beurre. They've done a great job with this Parisian classic. The baguette comes from a bakery in Santa Ynez and is filled with prosciutto, European butter, and sea salt. Took me back...well done!
The house cured salmon with a tarragon creme fraiche seen below was fresh and wonderfully balanced allowing the salmon flavors to come through paired with light tarragon hints.
They have a beautiful wine selection of both local and international wines. On the blackboard, you'll find a selection of wines specially open that day.
Marinated white tuna, watercress, lemon vinaigrette. Fresh and simple.
No matching silverware to be found. Fantastic touch!One of the beers on the menu that many people were ordering on the toasty day we ventured in. Refreshing indeed!
Can't wait to go back!
