A La Carte Menu

Open for lunch and dinner seven days a week

The casual style of Californian cooking unites several cuisines - most importantly, Southwest America, Mediterranean and Pacific Rim. It makes use of high quality local produce and transforms them into something unique and original. This is helped by the raw fresh ingredients, and time taken to prepare and cook them. The recipes use only the minimum amounts of fat and salt and as many organic foods are used as possible.
