The food is the same, my staple is the beef sandwich and tortilla soup. The only thing is last time I didn't get any chunks of avocado, and I remember the soup had avo in it. The service is pretty good. I had to wash my hands on the way out, and the restrooms are huge now. If you remember how they were, then you know what I'm talking about. I don't come here to drink, but the little bar area is really cute. This is a great place where the owner has really invested a lot of money towards renovations. There are a lot of new items on the menu, but I usually. stick with what I know.

This is a nice, elegant spot located in Uptown Whittier, kind of unexpected for the area. Street…read moreparking is available and wasn't hard to find, probably because we came during off-hours after lunch. We were greeted right away and given the option to sit inside or outdoors. Of course, we chose the patio since it was such a beautiful day, and the view of the water fountain made it even better. The sound of the water created a very relaxing and refreshing atmosphere. Our server was pleasant and friendly. She could have been a bit more attentive, as she didn't check on us much, but overall the service was still good. The food was delicious. I'd definitely recommend this place if you're looking for good Italian food. I loved the sauce on the chicken piccata, and the pesto sauce on the pasta with shrimp, scallops, and mushrooms was excellent. Yum. The salad was good, but nothing too special, it felt like it was missing something. I noticed none of the salads included beets, and I personally love beets on a salad. The goat cheese and pine nuts were a great addition, but I think beets would have made it even better. Overall, the food, ambiance, and service were solid. It's on the pricier side, but I would come back.

I ordered the Linguine Pescatore: * Calamari cooked so hard it could qualify as tire rubber * TWO shrimp... and somehow both still had their "natural accessories" attached * Clams survived the disaster * Presentation looked like the plate gave up on life before reaching the table My girlfriend ordered the Pollo Milanesa: * Marinara sauce had enough salt to preserve ancient mummies * Veggies were cooked into retirement * Portion looked like inflation personally attacked the kitchen Now let's talk about the margarita... Tasted like Costco margarita mix with emotional damage added for free. Also why did I receive: * one wine menu * one cocktail menu * one food menu * probably another hidden menu somewhere in the kitchen By the time I finished reading everything, brunch almost became dinner.

I kid you not every time we come here we get the same things plus more (sometimes). I always get the off the grill plate. My choice of fish is always Basa. For the seasoning you can get lemon pepper or Cajun. And it automatically comes with salad and rice with butter and choice of dressing. Oh and they include a few triangles of pita bread. The service is always amazing. They do get sometimes busy and it's sometimes a 1 woman show taking the orders and giving the orders but she's a doll! There's probably at least 3 TVs playing sports.

The menu has a good variety of food and drinks, so there are plenty of options to choose from. Unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed with the food. It felt like it was missing something. I tried adding lemon, their house sauces, and hot sauce, but the fish and calamari still tasted pretty bland. I ordered the fish tacos and the fried calamari strips, and neither had much flavor. The portions were also on the smaller side, so I didn't feel like the price matched the amount or quality of the food. I'd have to give it a 6/10 at best. The staff was very friendly and attentive despite the food.

We started off by ordering drinks; my husband tried their Bodega Brewing Co. 'Mala Suerta' Dark Lager, and I had the Pinot Grigio 2024 La Boatina. Both of our drinks were great! For food we shared the Paella and Satchel's Mac & Cheese. Both dishes were delicious, full of flavor, and had generous portions. We finished off our meal with the Crema Catalana for dessert, which was bright, zesty, refreshing, and tasty! It's a lighter dessert that is just the right amount of sweet. The whole meal was excellent! Clearly a lot of love and energy has gone into this menu. The ingredients are high quality and the dishes are full of flavor. The staff are friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is perfect for a nice evening out. It's very cozy and romantic with beautiful decor. Before tip it was just about $85. Honestly a steal in our opinion, the meal and experience is well worth the money. We've decided: we're crazy for not coming more often after our first visit, and will be back soon and much more often.

This is a lounge, where you can linger and drink, but it looks more like a small restaurant to be. The bartender was quite friendly. We ordered the nachos, Margherita pizza and shrimp tacos. The bartender told us we were going to be full for days. The nachos was delicious. It uses a different type of cheese that was not the conventional yellow cheese, pepper jack. Because of this, i wanted to try it. It was something new and was shareable in size. It is a good choice with a group. The shrimp tacos were also good. Based on the previous reviews here, it is a must try as the flavor was impressive. The pizza was fair. It didn't blow me away and is above your regular fast food take out pizza. It is pretty decent in size to take room in your gut with the alcohol, but don't expect it to blow you away with flavors. Overall, nice hang out spot, great staff, and food pretty good if you're going to share. Give this spot a shot.

My only hesitation with the food would be towards their steaks, which are often overcooked, dry and tend to be on the tougher side (despite me always ordering medium rare), so I do go elsewhere when I'm craving a tender, juicy steak. All their seafood, pasta, burger, and brunch dishes and desserts are top notch. Great beer selection, delicious wines and a couple of cocktail options. Definitely check it out if you're in Whittier!
